Is there something here for people to use? Can the comparison also be done using the max precision unsigned integers instead of just float64?

- gh02t 2y agoLooks like it's not ready for serious use yet but the initial implementation is here https://github.com/numpy/numpy-user-dtypes/tree/main/quaddtype https://github.com/numpy/numpy-user-dtypes/tree/main/quaddty... . I was just complaining about long double on Windows working on an algorithm that can benefit from higher precision, this post is serendipitous.
- slashdave 2y agoIn my experience, it can be helpful for quickly fixing precision issues. Sometimes you just want to get on with your calculations and not go back and reformulate your numerical weak points. It's less necessary with good practice.
