It’s Verdana.
Fun fact: the article uses U+03C0 GREEK SMALL LETTER PI (π), but Unicode also has several pi codepoints meant to be used specifically for math. E.g., U+1D6D1 MATHEMATICAL BOLD SMALL PI (let’s see whether HN strips it: [edit: it does, see [0]]).
Yeah I noticed that too, and had to comment (now deleted) to test it was the website here, and not the original copied and pasted text.
The font stack is just "Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;" so either one of those or a system font is the culprit.
