@socks oh wait you said not associative, i was thinking of commutativity
associativity is necessarily lost in rounding
-F
@Felthry Yeah
And that's bad
@socks it's basically the same problem as catastrophic cancellation at its root, which i'm pretty sure there have been studies on ways to circumvent that, but it's been a really long time since we took that algorithms class
-F
@Felthry No, they're just not associative
