I mean, even not knowing the nuances of modern implementations of floating point arithmetic (which even I don’t fully grasp since I work very very far from the silicon on a daily basis), the whole concept of “I can reduce finance math to 4 operations” is absurd beyond reason. Like what will you do? Write a new root finding algo? Create a method that directly interfaces with the highly optimized logarithm calculating chips on modern microprocessors? Create your own new silicon for what is essentially just a special case of all modern usage that can be perfectly achieved with off the shelf hardware?
This is like crypto bro level of ignorance.
