<p>I was wondering if there are any websites out there which </p>
<ul>
<li>systematically provide space for the discussion of mathematics articles (particularly those on the arXiv, though not necessarily just those), and </li>
<li>have a large enough user base to have some hope of having a good discussion (or at least have hope of attracting one in the near future).</li>
</ul>
<p>Of course, MO is not so far from such a site, but is organized around questions, not papers, which leads to rather different discussion in practice. Similarly, some blog posts and nLab pages serve this purpose, but are not created systematically. </p>

But if you use it technically, it is important to say exactly what you mean by it.</p>

If $\lambda$ is small enough then this would depend hugely on $a_k$ and so it wouldn't be gaussian right?</p>

If you want a formula for the maximum standard deviation as a function of the interval endpoints and the number of samples, you will probably want to divide the formula up depending on whether the number of samples is even or odd.</p>
