Comment on Detached Point Arithmetic

I’m dismayed that people are willing to put their names on garbage like this.

If you want the serious version of the idea instead of the LLM diarrhea, just go Jonathan Shewchuk’s robust predicates work: https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~jrs/papers/robustr.pdf from 1997.

Thanks, didn't know this one! Have some reading to do.

For a library that implements just the two component version of this, commonly known as a double-double, for a mantissa of 107 bits and an exponent of 11, see: https://github.com/ncruces/dbldbl
