Such a shame that despite having something that produces such great results we have no idea why our solutions work. A perfect compliment to the scientists who know exactly why and can’t do anything with it.

I prefer approximating π=4

How do you round 3.14 to 4?

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 year ago

the trick is that I'm not rounding, I'm approximating. by taking pi=4, you make squares out of circles

Easy, round to the nearest power of 2
