See Ramanujan's work with divergent series for example.	/r/MGTOW	16/03/17 02:28 AM
30	As a software developer, this drives me fucking nuts Ohhh fast inverse square root, I'd recognize you anywhere. What's funny is that the guys' code has been stripped of its original (but awesome!) comments: float Q_rsqrt( float number ) { long i; float x2, y; const float threehalfs = 1.5F; x2 = number * 0.5F; y = number; i = * ( long * ) &y; // evil floating point bit level hacking i = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 ); // what the fuck? y = * ( float * ) &i; y = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) ); // 1st iteration // y = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) …	/r/MGTOW	04/03/17 09:11 PM
