Counterpoint: Floating-point inaccuracies.

[–] hglman@lemmy.ml 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Floating point is a consequence of physical computerr being finite not using binary.

Counter-counter-counterpoint: pi in base-pi can be written in one digit

[–] Verat@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

In 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

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Counterpoint 1: 0.6̇ (Unicode does not support numbers with overdots correctly)

Counterpoint 2: 2/3

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 5 months ago

It 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

Counter-counterpoint:

Display the exact value of pi with 64 digits in any base N number system.
