| 2026-04-27 18:17:07 +0000 | <davean> | "Whats the smallest valid test type?" "Ok, now why isn't that a proof already?" |
| 2026-04-27 18:14:32 +0000 | <davean> | You have to start by articulating why the version is the same but smaller ... and now you've listed the cases ... |
| 2026-04-27 18:14:06 +0000 | <davean> | though the "making a small enough version" ... gets you very close to a proof ... |
| 2026-04-27 18:13:39 +0000 | <davean> | And often via paramatricity one can make a small enough version too |
| 2026-04-27 18:12:51 +0000 | <monochrom> | Yeah. |
| 2026-04-27 18:12:39 +0000 | <davean> | Lots of things *are* small enough |
| 2026-04-27 18:12:29 +0000 | <davean> | monochrom: I do think more things should be tested by enumeration. Its not an unreasonable strat. |

| 2026-04-27 18:04:28 +0000 | <EvanR> | not necessarily a good reason (AI) xD |
| 2026-04-27 18:04:11 +0000 | <davean> | and there is a reason its got that "NV" tacked on the front |
| 2026-04-27 18:04:00 +0000 | <davean> | There is a reason there is an NVFP4 |
| 2026-04-27 18:03:49 +0000 | <EvanR> | I'm sure eighth precision has some application somehow |
| 2026-04-27 18:02:58 +0000 | <davean> | EvanR: you're joking but I'm refering to actual datatypes |
| 2026-04-27 18:02:40 +0000 | <EvanR> | half is 16 so... quarter... eighth precision |
| 2026-04-27 18:02:38 +0000 | <davean> | NVFP4 if you're in AI |
| 2026-04-27 18:02:19 +0000 | <davean> | FP4 |
| 2026-04-27 18:02:18 +0000 | <monochrom> | toy example I would use in class to teach floating point :) |
| 2026-04-27 18:02:16 +0000 | <davean> | I did feed it both anyway, this is weird because I remember taking time to type that out ... but maybe I lost it in a quick reply to monochrom |
| 2026-04-27 18:01:59 +0000 | <EvanR> | what would you call a float with 4 total bits |
| 2026-04-27 18:01:47 +0000 | <davean> | EvanR: yes, 4 bits |
