Yeah, I was really impressed by that as well when it was first announced. Makes perfect sense once you hear it, but as an old fogey I just wasn't used to thinking on that kind of scale.
I had a similar lightbulb moment years ago when someone pointed out that y'know, these days it's perfectly feasible to test a simple float32 function by running every possible float32 bitpattern through it.
- amichal 9y agoTrue... as long as you know what output you are expecting for all 2^32 patterns (Not your point I know)
- Dylan16807 9y agoThese days? Grab a 20 year old Pentium II and you can test a 300-cycle 32-bit function in an hour.
