Displeased with this trend of LLM-assisted “research”. The central claims are false, the examples of floating point are false and off by a factor of 1e11, the latency numbers are complete WTF and disconnected from reality (‘cycles’ of what).

Fixed point arithmetic with a dynamic scale is presented along the way motivating floating point in probably every computer architecture class. It’s a floating point.

This guy needs to open a book. I recommend Nick Higham’s _Accuracy and Stability of Numerical Algorithms_.
