#floating point

[ccmoatyim]

I am, like, really enthusiastic about floating-point numbers. Idk. I think it's just because they are needlessly hated on by some software developers who never learned the details of the IEEE standard and seem to think floats encounter rounding errors at random. I guess I just like to be counterculture like that. I saw that Audacity said my encoding was 32-bit float and I was like "hell yeah, 24 bits of precision (23 explicit, 1 implicit), 8-bit mantissa, and 1 sign bit? You go, digital audio workstation!"

i need an MMO where choosing "male" or "female" doesn't flip a binary switch in the game's code but instead randomly assigns a dense network of interconnected parameters exhibiting a bimodal distribution across players on average but with considerable variability within and between groups

i need an MMO where i can be assigned intersex due to a floating point rounding error

Just found out floating point is fucking broken. I haven't the tools, knowledge, or means to even begin finding out why, let alone fix it...

evil floating point facts!

Addition is not associative

Multiplication is not associative

Multiplication does not distribute over addition

NaN

If you square root a number and square it you could get a different result

If you square a number and square root it you could get a different result

0 == -0 but 1/0 != 1/-0

Idea: floating point but make it floating

disturbing lack of skrunkly-posting about floating point on this site

*casts curse of floating point imprecision on you*

did this as a quick scribble at like 1 AM last night and...immediately lost all motivation to ever clean it up. ( ᐛ ) but I had to draw my son being the fanciest little flower boy who ever threw petals down an aisle. oh my god.

Learning how floating point works is an experience in itself.

Really shows you computers are little rocks with electrons shooting through them.

bruce and danny being fuckign nerds together,,,, they are being the BIGGEST nerds. geeks. if you will

these losers are color-coding the most inane bullshit. they are making diagrams for things you've never even thought of. they are having the time of their lives

"what are you two doing?"

Danny, sitting criss-cross on a table, hunched over a spread of papers and a bunch of different jello cups, his back is gonna hurt SO much: color-coding jello

Bruce, sitting in a nearby chair, also criss-cross, scribbling on a graph paper: hm [agreeing]

Alfred, already exasperated and SO fond: may i ask why? and on what parameters?

Danny: we're basing it off which flavors are the most mentally stimulating and for which subjects :}

Alfred, SO fond: ah. i see.

Danny, snapping his head over to Bruce and leaning over: wh- no-- no. Buzz, I told you: lemon-flavored jello stays strictly in the 'smelling salts' category--

Bruce, still writing on the graph paper: mn. no.

Danny, nearly sprawled across his back, faux-outraged: strawberry is NOT good for math-- you fucken HEATHEN--! Give me that pen!

Bruce, did that solely to rile up Danny, now trying not to smile: hnm.

Something about hands....

Pssttt if you haven't seen it already, check out the new forgettable-au amv These are some of the still frames from that animation hehe
