Comment on Quantization from the Ground Up

Comments

I read the entire thing top-to-bottom, as a visual learner this is superb.

One nitpick -- in the "asymmetric quantification" code, shouldn't "zero" be called "midpoint" or similar? Or is "zero" an accepted mathematics term in this domain?

“Zero point” is how I saw it referred to in the literature, so that’s what I went with. I personally prefer to think of it as an offset, but I try to stick with terms folks are likely to see in the wild.

Fair enough, thanks!

You’re welcome! Thanks so much for the kind words.
