More people need to learn to use Rational types. A pretty large majority of the numbers that people care about in real life can easily be represented by a ratio of integers, and they allow math with perfect precision.

Sigh. Guess I need the joke explained?

What’s wrong with strict types?

Fuck ChatGPT.

This reads like an ad written by an LLM, wtf is it doing here?

Was not prepared for the Diablo II reference lmao

The “solution” is to curate things, invest massive human resources in it

Hilariously, Google actually used to do this: they had a database called the “knowledge graph” that slowly accumulated verified information and relationships between commonly-queried entities, producing an excellent corpus of reliable, easy-to-find information about a large number of common topics.

Then they decided having people curate things was too expensive and gave up on it.

Lost the coin flip.

So like, 3 months of PG&E bills?
