Our experiments demonstrate that tapered-precision arithmetic consistently outperforms IEEE 754 floating-point numbers in all tested scenarios. Among the tapered-precision formats, takums exhibited exceptional performance, outperforming bfloat16 in every case. While occasionally marginally less accurate than posits, takums delivered comparable results overall and demonstrated superior numerical stability. Notably, we successfully introduced the application of 8-bit posits and takums in mixed-precision iterative refinement, marking a possibly significant milestone in numerical computing. Additionally, GMRES exhibited particular benefit from tapered-precision formats, with takums delivering outstanding results, surpassing posits in all cases.
Impressive results from Takums (https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.18603).
They also seem better then Posits for implementation in hardware. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2408.10594

Wouldn't a better formulation be: "Give me the shortest route with a cost of 5 or lower with the minimum fire tiles in the path necessary" Since your formulation doesn't care about the amount of fire tiles in case there is no other solution?

This is not the will of the people in the Netherlands. We had a referendum a few years ago about the laws for spying (sleepwet). Their was a clear vote for not allowing bulk spying. The rules that currently are broken down where made in reaction to that referendum.

I hate the youtube search these days. You get back a very limited list off content you serached for and a lot off videos that are "related" to your search.
