The burden of proof is on you though. If you think you can do it better then do it. It's ridiculous to post a dismissal without even watching the full video.


A good reference is the Handbook of Floating-Point Arithmetic. If you can be more specific about what is it that's not clear, I'll give more specific "proof". Even though you're being a bit "sealion"-y.

The video is jarring to watch. It's well-produced, engaging, etc.; but also pretentious and overconfident. It seems to be chock-full with irrelevant "developments". So it's not reasonable to expect me to watch it end-to-end.

Don't even try to read the YouTube comments :-) “Kaze has to be the best assembly programmer of all time”, “this is the greatest genius since the inverse square root trick”, “this SM64 hack is the most optimized Nintendo 64 game of all time”, etc…
