minus-square@hglman@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglish16•6 months agoFloating point is a consequence of physical computerr being finite not using binary.
minus-square@uis@lemm.eelinkfedilink3•6 months agoCounter-counter-counterpoint: pi in base-pi can be written in one digit
minus-square@Verat@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink8•edit-26 months agoIn that case decimal is flawed too, 0.6667 or any such approxination doesnt exactly equal 2/3. It technically happens in any number system where you are dividing by a prime that isnt part of either the base or the number being divided

minus-square@NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilink4•6 months agoIt won’t work with irrational numbers, or transcendental numbers even if you allow things like √2. But honestly I have no idea what the point of this conversation even is
minus-square@yetAnotherUser@feddit.delinkfedilink6•6 months agoCounter-counterpoint: Display the exact value of pi with 64 digits in any base N number system.
All the other numbers can be written wit 0/1
