There are pretty trivial ways to use binary floating point values that don't result in 0.1 + 0.2 producing 0.30000...4 and it saddens me when this topic comes up and people go to such extreme lengths to recreate a second hand buggy rei

But native decimal libraries are almost always floating point. Do people not know what a floating point number is?

What exactly do you think a floating point number is?

There's also Fable coin, Mythos coin, and Opus coin all of which predate the Claude models. Heck there's Fart coin, Harambe coin, Dog Wif Hat coin, you name it coin...

It's an absolutely phenomenal sales pitch to executives. A ton of automation is sold on the basis that it's probably not going to be as good as having a dedicated person do it, but that automation leads to much lower maintenance s

There's nothing shocking about this. The vast majority of software/source code is pretty terrible anyways, code that is full of bugs, slow to use, has little to no automated tests and very hard to maintain. To the extent that it g

My post contains two sentences... for some reason you completely disregarded the second one. For the sake of participating in a discussion, avoid doing that in the future.

This doesn't track with actual game releases, on the contrary it tends to be smaller/simpler games that release exclusively digitally and the big triple A games continue to release physical discs. As far as bugs go, the solution f

Any form of media can be criticized, that's the nature of it... but RDR 2 is widely considered to be among the best games ever made. Is there going to be someone out there who doesn't like it? Sure, take absolutely any game whatso

PS5 and XBox support Blu-ray discs with capacities up to 100 GB. Both GTA V and GTA IV used multiple discs (there was an installation disc and a play disc). Heck the PC version of GTA V required 7 DVDs: https://www.reddit.com&#x2

Which is why almost no employers ask for SAT scores as a way of screening candidates, and why this article was written to showcase the specific reasons doing so is ineffective. Of course you'd have refrained from making such a vacuous

The submission isn't about academic tests involving academics... it's about the relevance of using such academic tests for the purpose of job screening.

>Ground school comes first at IFT There is no singular "IFT"... you happened to find one IFT among hundreds across the U.S. that has such a syllabus, great... but it does not come first as requirement mandated either by law&#x2

Because I'm not trying to make a universal claim about all tests.

Given that I'm not responding to any claim about the efficacy of math tests... it's actually your statement which is wholly irrelevant to this discussion.

by Maxatar 4mo ago
So you are making things up... thanks for confirming that. While I appreciate that you reviewed what Google "sez"... you have misunderstood the relevant context which is that the U.S. Air Force also requires that you complete Init

Yes, if you took your SAT among a cohort of people where none of you practiced for the SAT, then what you're saying holds true. That's not really the case anymore. Top tier students nowadays prepare for the SAT, they don't go

This has to be a joke... Ground school most certainly does not involve a lot of math, it's not like there's any calculus or algebra involved... it's basic arithmetic. Furthermore it's categorically false that you need to

I feel like it's a common misconception that IQ only tests some narrow intellectual abilities like math and logic, likely because online tests and fake IQ tests tend to focus on those kinds of puzzles. Actual IQ tests actually do place

That's not how it plays out in practice. There is overwhelming evidence that students who otherwise excel academically score fairly mediocre SAT scores on their first attempt and then jump substantially after weeks of targeted practice

Hmm... I suppose it can come across as pedantic, but physical processes as a whole can do anything that can be done, hence it shouldn't come as a surprise that there exists a physical process that can perform a Fourier transform, or an

Just to clarify, a pardon in the ordinary sense can't be refused. If you're imprisoned and the President pardon's you, you can't decide to refuse the pardon and remain in prison. As soon as the pardon is granted you are

I don't know if this is true. In the 80s there were many languages that were C with additional features or C preprocessors that added and experimented with features similar to cfront. You had OOPC (object-oriented pre-compiler), Object
