For handwritten texts, the tool that works best for me is Qwen2.5-VL-72b [0]. It is also available online [1]. I'm surprised that it is not mentioned in the article since even the previous model (Qwen2-VL-72b) was better than the other

For the mantissa, the insight is probably that : (1+e1)*(1+e2) = 1+e1+e2+(e1*e2) If e1 and e2 are small, then e1*e2 is negligible.

You're perfectly right. It is indeed perfectly logical then. It could be reformulated like this: if f(A) > f(not A) then f(not A) is not maximal. f: a function indicating how complete the thoughts are. A: writing about thoughts.

Taking the statement completely out of context, it states : if A implies B, then not A implies not B. This is a logical flaw. The correct statement from a logical point of view is: if A implies B, then not B implies not A. In this case, eve

For FFT with floating-point numbers, another paper from Arnold Schönhage in 1982 [1] already gives the bound in Psi(n l) operations, where n is the number of coefficients, and l is the desired precision (typically 53 for double precision).

Expressing proofs as formal logic is a great tool to make them more rigorous. Formal proofs are easier to check with a computer, provided that all the cases have been fleshed out, and that it has been written in a proof-assistant language.
