You can instead list your criteria for good number format and look at alternatives with those lenses. Floating point is designed for a good balance between dynamic range and precision, and IEEE 754 binary formats can be seen as a FP standard particularly optimized for numerical calculation.

There are several other FP formats. The most popular one is IEEE 754 minus subnormal numbers, followed by bfloat16, IEEE 754 decimal formats (formerly IEEE 854) and posits. Only first two have good hardware supports. The lack of subnormal number means that `a <=> b` can't be no longer rewritten to `a - b <=> 0` among others but is widely believed to be faster. (I don't fully agree, but it's indeed true for existing contemporary hardwares.) IEEE 754 decimal formats are notable for lack of normalization guarantee. Posits are, in some sense, what IEEE 754 would have been if designed today, and in fact aren't that fundamentally different from IEEE 754 in my opinion.

Fixed-point formats share pros and cons of finitely sized integer numbers and you should have no difficulty to analyze them. In short, they offer a smaller dynamic range compared to FP, but its truncation model is much simpler to reason. In turn you will get a varying precision and out-of-bound issues.

Rational number formats look very promising at the beginning, but they are much harder to implement efficiently. You will need a fast GCD algorithm (not Euclidean) and also have to handle out-of-bound numerators and denumerators. In fact, many rational number formats rely on arbitrary-precision integers precisely for avoiding those issues, and inherit the same set of issues---unbounded memory usage and computational overhead. Approximate rational number formats are much rarer, and I'm only aware of the Inigo Quilez's floating-bar experiment [1] in this space.

Interval/ball/affine arithmetics and others are means to automatically approximate an error analysis. They have a good property of being never incorrect, but it is still really easy for them to throw up and give a correct but useless answer like [-inf, inf]. Also they are somewhat awkward in a typical procedural paradigm because comparisons will return a tri-state boolean (true, false, unsure). Nevertheless they are often useful when correctly used. Fredrik Johansson's Arb [2] is a good starting point in my opinion.

Finally you can model a number as a function that returns a successively accurate approximation. This is called the constructive or exact real number, and simultaneously most expensive and most correct. One of the most glaring problems is that an equality is not always decidable, and practical applications tend to have various heuristics to get around this fact. Amazingly enough, Android's built-in calculator is one of the most used applications that use this model [3].

This math doesn't make sense. You would only have to use your dining room 2-3 times a year to come out ahead; whereas most people likely host in their dining rooms 12 - 48 times per years. Even at once a month, over 10 years, you aren't going to find a rental place for $83.

From this post, I'm not sure if you have underpriced dining rooms are exceedingly cheap, or if you are unaware how much a rental place actually costs. My parents have a rather nice dining room that they host every major holiday in and they still spent more than 10k in the last ~2 years alone for family gatherings they did away from home.

Edit: Reading through the thread I've come away with the feeling most people are just talking past each other with no frame of reference for how the other lives. There are people it seems coming from cultures centered on weekly/monthly gatherings that are bewildered that someone would consider a dining room superflous.

I’m pro-ecosystem and pro-weaning off fossil fuels. I’m also tired of the argument that we’re at the point where it’s a do-or-die for individuals to make monetary/QoL sacrifices to switch to EVs as if we had reached the point where this is what’s left and blocking the world from putting an end to global warming.

I consider this post a birthday present and didn't even try to resist the buy-instantly-reflex..

BUT. What I'm still missing is an audio jack. I've been searching for a long time now for a device of this mobile friendly form factor (i.e. battery support), with a couple of buttons and knobs, a small display and audio in/out.

Like a TE Pocket Operator, but fully programmable (using typical C++/Rust/Micropython programming environments).

I'd really love to deep dive into rapid prototyping some audio generator or effect processor I can take with me, but don't want to design and build a device for this first.

Maybe you guys have seen something like this before and can give me a hint?

Wonderful comment, thank you very much for taking the time.
I agree, but noting one downside to the Volt and other plug-in hybrids: the complexity.

There's a lot that can go wrong when a car is in any kind of collision. EV have 'scary' high voltage cables that many repair shops don't want to deal with, but they make up for it with simplicity. Plug-in hybrids have almost all the complexity of both, combined.

My Volt ate some road debris, and it punctured an oil intercooler and two of the three glycol water loops, partly because the radiators sit quite low in a very full engine bay. I suspect many EVs would have been simpler to repair.

The complexity also just makes the product harder for potential customers to understand.

Now, I still like the car, and it has paid for the price premium in saved gasoline. Plug-in hybrids are a great middle ground between ICE and EV. I just wish the concept had sold better.
They weren’t criticizing the product direction. The letter was about Elon’s tweets and sexual harassment.

As well, my perception is that Texas has been slow to install charging stations. I had a very difficult time finding an available charging station for a Mustang Mach-E rental car in San Antonio, and I ultimately returned it well below the level which they consider to be full - 70%, I believe. It was the holidays, but I suspect it would be painful any time of year.
At this point in time, you’re buying into the EV charging network when you buy the vehicle. In the U.S., that means Tesla. I just bought a Model Y. We really liked the Mustang and the F-150 Lightening, but the Tesla has the charging network. We drove from Detroit to Chicago last weekend and had no problem because there were ample Supercharger stations along the way. If we go to Northern Michigan it becomes a bit trickier but I think we can make it in warmer weather. It’s just where the infrastructure is at this point. We have an ICE vehicle for when we don’t think the EV would make it, but the EV is our daily driver.

Section 1.2 has an essential warning for many Hacker News readers!

"You probably belong to one of two classes of people who I will call scientists and engineers. Scientists are computer scientists who are interested in concurrent computing. If you are a scientist, you should be well-prepared to decide if this book interests you and to read it if it does.

"Engineers are people involved in building concurrent programs. If you are an engineer, you might have a job title such as programmer, software engineer, or hardware designer. I need to warn you that this book is about a science, not about its practical application. Practice is discussed only to explain the motivation for the science. If you are interested just in using the science, you should read about the language TLA+ and its tools, which are the practical embodiment of the science [27, 34]. But if you want to understand the underlying science, then this book may be for you."

>if you mean this as advice, ok, but if you mean it as "this needs to be a law", what are you even talking about, authoritarian much?

Yes I think that should be law. You should be able to attempt to help self correct your company by speaking up and not have the your life blown up because of the misaligned interest of a select few at the top. Just quitting is the the most extreme form of protest, but not the most feasible because we all can't find jobs tomorrow. This idea is no more authoritarian than whistleblower protection laws.

>firing employees for speaking out might get you, the employer, an echo chamber, but perhaps for your product an echo chamber is the business strategy you chose.

I take it you haven't read the article. The ask by employees was for SpaceX to uphold THEIR OWN STANDARDS by distancing themselves from Elon's bad actions through his tweets. You do not get to create rules within a company and then ignore your own codified rules while firing people for non-codified ones ("deeming" speech "insubordination").

As for Musk's tweets in relation to his company, when you create company from a cult of personality, your actions for the cult and the company are blurred. So you have to be on your best behavior for both.

This is beautiful phrasing, very much how I think about life myself. Let's hope the last days of Mr Wirth were free from physical pain. Thinking of my grandpa who died all of a sudden, apparently without serious physical impairments or aches, at age 90, after a happy, well-lived, ethical life.

The popular film portrail is that Alan cracked the Enigma alone. Alan did contribute, particularly to cracking the harder naval variant of the Enigma, but there were other notable contributors who get less limelight such as Gordon Welchman.

By mid-war Turing is sent to America and then put to work on a secure telephone system called Delilah at another government site. No real hurry, no big resources. At first he's alone, then eventually he's assigned a (brilliant) student as a helper.

Meanwhile, at Bletchley, others are building the Colossus computer to crack another German cipher.

They are building what many credit as the first computer, and Turing will have influenced that heavily, but he's basically not leading that effort.

So from mid-war onwards it's basically Turing shut away in a shed where he won't distract people too much. It's almost like Turing was hard to work with!? :D
You’re telling me a dealership somewhere in the USA was selling a brand new ICE for ~$5k a mere twelve years ago?

I'm not sure that it is overfitting to optimize your code for the test set. The requirement is just that you don't break compatibility for arbitrary names in the process.

This sort of thing shows up all the time in the real world - where, for example, 90% of traffic will hit one endpoint. Or 90% of a database is one specific table. Discovering and microoptimizing for the common case is an important skill.
It might cost that in some cookie cutter subdivision, but in the city it would cost significantly more than that (try finding a 2br condo with a dining room in a big city...). Not to mention furnishing the room and the extra property taxes per year.
Interesting observation. We would love to know what kind of stack do you prefer.
I kinda think "workplace conditions" would mean, you know, the conditions in which you do your work, like the physical environment where you are working. If the safety straps are old and frayed or the air conditioning in the office is broken, this is a condition of the workplace.

I don't think it means "every conceivable thing in the world that might affect the share price". If the Fed changes the interest rates, that could affect the share price. Does that mean that if I want to email my 13,000 co-workers my thoughts about the Fed's interest rate policy this is a protected discussion of workplace conditions? I don't think so.

The test seems to be "workplace conditions" not "things that impact employees" or "things that can affect the share price" which could be literally anything at all.

How are these easier in EVs than in ICE cars?

> - by the 2.5-3.5 hour mark between charges, I'm ready for a 25-35 min break and its somewhere nice and not a gas station

What does that have to do with the power source? You can take breaks anywhere in an ICE vehicle too.

> - never have to use gas station bathroom

Can't you use the same bathrooms in ICE vehicles? Are they EV only? Does your EV include a half-bath?

> - never have to calculate any routes or fuel stops

I don't do that in ICE vehicles; gas stations are so common that I just find one when I need it. Is your EV's range greater? Also, aren't EV chargers harder to find that gas stations?

You are confused if you conflate chains with ground clearance. They are not fungible. If your sole frame of reference is “snow” and cold weather then you don’t understand the problem. 5 inches of ground clearance is a joke in many areas. There is a reason people religiously buy Subarus with almost 9 inches of ground clearance. It isn’t negotiable if you actually understand the problem.

My minimum requirement for ground clearance for many years, and based on real-world experience, is 8 inches. I’ve owned vehicles with less and more, and used all in less than ideal circumstances re: ground clearance. The last time I had a vehicle with ground clearance as low as a Tesla, it wasn’t great for the vehicle, and I have a lot of experience navigating those conditions to minimize damage.

Just because it never has applied to you, clearly, doesn’t mean it isn’t a real problem.
This still seemed implausible to me, so I looked it up. The Icelandic government has all the details on the web in English!

It looks like it’s for up to 30 months, and you need to be employed for 24. months to ‘reset’ it: https://vinnumalastofnun.is/en/jobseeker/entitlement-to-unem...

You’re required to confirm every month that you’re seeking employment: https://vinnumalastofnun.is/en/jobseeker/rights-and-obligati...

The amount seems to be ISK 349,852 per month: https://vinnumalastofnun.is/en/jobseeker/amounts-and-payment...

So that’s about USD 2500 - though there are lower amounts depending on your ‘entitlement’ band - I’m not sure how that’s calculated. Even at the 100% band, that’s $30,000/year - which is (for example) half of California minimum wage.
