Very interesting. whats the use case of this?
- kretaceous 4y agoWell, no particular use case I can think of. The OP asked for anything that you find interesting so here we are. =)
- BizarroLand 4y agoI'm sure there is a use for it, that pattern may be representative of some other phenomenon in the universe that we haven't correlated it to as of yet.
- bluepoint 4y agoWell there is this famous paper by Volovich [1] where he argues that space is basically pixelized and p-adic numbers might best describe their geometry. But of course this has no connection with the reality we have access to. p-adic numbers are also used in various areas of number theory (not my expertise). I see them like the lesser known sibling of real numbers. [1] https://empslocal.ex.ac.uk/~mwatkins/zeta/volovich1.pdf https://empslocal.ex.ac.uk/~mwatkins/zeta/volovich1.pdf

- mhh__ 4y agoIf it's proven then we can add a new pointless compiler optimization (some of them are already allowed to assume some things never terminate, even)
- exikyut 4y agoWhat's the most pointless compiler optimization you're aware of? (Obviously a subjective question in practice, so chances are you might need to add a bit of qualification)

- PartiallyTyped 4y agollvm skips it entirely. https://twitter.com/badamczewski01/status/1428262570427928577?lang=en https://twitter.com/badamczewski01/status/142826257042792857...
- someweirdperson 4y agoIt can easily be proven for all valid values of int (of a specific limited size).
- pilaf 4y agoSurely it's true for every unsigned 64-bit integer.
