Those are type one unums, not posits. What you are saying about variable length encoding may be true, but it does not actually apply to the current comparison.

- tntn 8y ago'nestorD was discussing the effects and overheads of "dropping the fixed length constraint" in the comment you replied to.
- vanderZwan 8y agoOh darn, you're right. My bad! In my defense, the comment he replied to got downvoted and I thought it was nestorD, so I was "primed" to misinterpret his comment as criticizing unums in general.
