Tiny rounding errors can become huge problems.

Jeffrey Sax talks with .NET Rocks! about https://t.co/eszmFW2PNu, exacting control over precision, and the realities of numerical computing.

This is universally true: the goal of every action should be to maximize creative potential.

[François Chollet @fchollet]

The goal of education should not be to achieve a certain population average on standardized tests, it should be to unlock the highest total individual potential out of students

@SciPyTip Another interesting challenge appears for near-parabolic orbits (e very close to one): catastrophic cancellation in E-e sin E. Many comets have near-parabolic orbits, so this is not a purely theoretical edge case.

You can get the new version from NuGet. Here's a list of our packages: https://t.co/gWw3rRvBrk.

[Numerics.NET @NumericsDotNET]

Today we released version 7 of our Numerical Libraries for .NET with support for .NET Core 1.1 and 2.1, .NET Standard 1.3 and 2.0, and much more. https://t.co/cX9fKSZqIq

Looks promising. https://t.co/fb7vfMw6ps

Tiered compilation coming to .NET will allow to scale the JIT from a fast interpreter, then regular RyuJIT and finally LLILC/LLVM JIT 😍 https://t.co/lfxneejDem

It's hard to be rational today #PiDay

[Star Simpson @starsandrobots]

We portray engineering as being a very sterile, logical process but I experience it mostly as focused dissatisfaction until things are Right

.@themarklstone @e_d_andersen Posits are very different. Exponent length varies for better precision and range + no NaN, -inf, -0.

[Jeffrey Sax @JeffreySax]

His Posit format uses compact variable length exponent representation to get extra precision bits and removes NaNs, -inf, -0. https://t.co/AtxNUKwzYo

During WWII, Churchill was asked to cut funding for the arts.
He replied "Then what are we fighting for?"
