    EDIT: I see that libbf implements faithful rounding of operations. Nice. TIL.

    See also: Jean-Michel Muller's books: "Handbook of Floating Point Arithmetic," and "Elementary Functions."

    "Dear HN, I pointed Claude at another existing codebase and told it to port it to Rust. I don't have anything new to add myself. Please lap this up."

      You can say something similar if someone had hand written it and reimplemented an existing library in new language. "This is just a reimplementation of existing library to Rust, I don't have anything new to add myself." Also its never as simple as a single prompt, it goes beyond it if the user really cares.
