mhoyeI’ve been thinking about this for days. Incredible stochastic algorithm, gets more reliable the larger your input, incredibly fast, trivial to implement and deterministic on its inputs. It really has so much going for it.

DaveReminds me of another ...
float sin(float x) { return x; }
is remarkably accurate for a large proportion of the possible input values.
DerPumu (he/him)@TheLancashireman @mhoye @jonathankoren physicists bread and butter. "x is small, so sin(x) is roughly x"
