My word... samwho is doing some of the best technical explainers on the internet right now.
Leading to my question: Ok keeping a zero and a minus-zero does make sense for some limits calculations... But when all you have is 4 bits, is this not quite wasteful? Would using the bits for eg. a 2.5 not improve the model?
Heartily second that! It was cool to see a combination of DOM, SVG, and canvas visualization all in use for this post.
