They're just using French Revolutionary decimal time.

8:99, love it. I'm going to start to use it.

Or the famous saying "It's 11:95"

Ah yes, the well known i5.90689059561

Is this what over-clocking is?

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 4 months ago

OK, I am dumb. Can you explain what that is?

[-] Tyfud@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago

I'm not OP, but my guess is they're referring to the Intel math bug that some i5's had. I'm struggling to track it down, but it's basically an issue with doing long division where the floating point math would produce a very wrong result.

You can see more here at least for the bug/issue that existed in the 90's here

[-] smitten@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 4 months ago

I’m not actually, just that a binary integer that overflows at 60 couldn’t exist, hence the 5.907 whatever bit length

[-] Tyfud@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

oh, that's actually clever. And I'm saying that as a software engineer. I missed that possibility :)

[-] smitten@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 months ago

I should have phrased it differently, like “Ah yes, the well known 5.9068905956 bit integer.” But thanks

Took me much longer than I'm willing to admit

I'm writing this comment at 9 pm. What time was it a minute ago?
