Freshmen engineer: wow floating point numbers are great.
Senior engineer: actually the distribution of floating point errors is mindfuck.
Professional engineer: the mean error for all pairwaise 64 bit floating point operations is smaller than the Planck constant.
The world has finite precision. dx isn't a limit towards zero, it is a limit towards the smallest numerical non-zero. For physics, that's Planck, for engineers it's the least significant bit/figure. All of calculus can be generalized to arbitrary precision, and it's called discrete math. So not even mathematicians agree on this topic.
I played Barbietherapist with your mom last night Trebek!
I don't have a problem. I can stop drinking water whenever I want to.
Yes, empathy is what it lacked.
One day this dude is going to realize that he had real power in the moment, and he wasted it on memes and ketamine.
This is incredible. I am tempted to give this man $50 for his Thnickels and not tell my wife about it.
Super skeptical that this is a Honeypot, or they'd just make it a web app.
Unironically you can shine a laser down the fibers and watch it light up all the way back to the source.
Glory hole.
