Enjoyable explainer about the complexity of Karatsuba multiplication and beyond, including some Big-O analysis which is a gutsy move for a short math video.

Who's ready for another in the apparently endless series of papers on "compressing time sequences of floats"? Go on, just one more. this one claims that all compression methods are either "general or XOR based".

I have to agree with @acegikmo that AI feasting upon AI-generated slop is not going to end well. The title about AI acting like an immune-supressive virus or cancer is more apt than at first glance.

Let's say you have an N×N-bit multiplier but you don't need all the bits of the result. You can generate a few extra bits (columns in the compressor tree) and faithfully round the result. But if you Booth encoded the multiplicand to half the rows in your circuit you end up with a multiplier where A×B ≠ B×A. That's hard to explain to a compiler, being commutative is important.

Lots of rounding strategies I never heard of - AND arrays, CCT, VCT, statistical predict, etc.

But what if you wanted to calculate arcsin(x) using a quantum computer? We gotcha fam.

I have a request. Can anyone help me take a look at an IEEE paper from 2021? Yes I could purchase it but I'm cheap, I have no idea if it's worth the cash and Sci-hub has failed me.

Well now I know a Nobel prize winner. Demis used to work at Bullfrog as part of the Guildford massive at the science park. Wasted on games, he clearly found more interesting things to do.

Did you know that the JPEG group have turned their research to compressing point clouds, light fields, and holograms? There's an ISO/IEC group as well: ISO/IEC FDIS 21794-5

A new number representation enters the ring - Takums! All the increased precision of small values, less of the plummeting precision outside of the "normal" range.

Another classic diatribe from @pluralistic These are practically reference documents now, so polished are the arguments.
