  4. Oh hey, one of my projects is relevant to an article: https://github.com/timschmidt/hyperreal It's an infinite precision exact constructive real with excellent performance characteristics and approximation only at explicitly named lossy…

  5. …and worse no performant one. :) You might find this bit of performance engineering interesting: https://github.com/timschmidt/hyperreal/blob/8a016808f4b0ba3... The matrix math layer wanted that kind of optimization to avoid worst case…

  6. I've been doing some symbolica-like things recently in the https://github.com/timschmidt/hyperreal ecosystem. Not a full CAS, just enough symbolic math to maintain precision through the calculations. Benchmarks against Symbolica and…
