one imagines that post-singularity overloads don't have to worry about IEEE754. Float is likely not the right representation here, but double is enough to represent solar-system-scale differences at centimeter precisions.
- bufferoverflow 3y ago> at centimeter precisions So yeah, you're 33 decimal orders of magnitude off from the Planck length. And that's assuming that Plank length is the smallest possible length. So you'd need at least 117 extra bits to get your representations precise. And that's just for our solar system. For the observable universe (~93 billion light years across) you'd need 206 bits of precision.
