"On the final exam, the average score was 49.5%, which is quite low. The scatter is also unusually large, between 12% and 87%."

egg|zzz|egg: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA but prolly
<egg|zzz|egg>
bofh: I'm vaguely tempted to try but this is probably too deep a rabbit hole
<egg|zzz|egg>
bofh: tbh it'd be trivial with a standard-compliant compiler, but that restricts you to MSVC (I kid you not!)
<egg|zzz|egg>
both GCC and clang do common subexpression elimination across rounding mode changes, even with intrinsics
<egg|zzz|egg>
MSVC wth /fp:precise doesn't
<egg|zzz|egg>
sorry /fp:strict
<egg|zzz|egg>
bofh: with a noncompliant compiler you somehow have to volatilize your inputs for each rounding mode wherein it will be used

<egg|zzz|egg>
UmbralRaptop: well, trains go through Paris
<egg|zzz|egg>
UmbralRaptop: also ANBO is 15 km from the train station anyway, so cars have to be involved

Anyway, probably going to have to email my advisor on lodging advice, and lining up train and aircraft travel. o_O

There's probably some galaxy brain version of this where I find a reason for a 24 hour layover in Zürich.
<egg>
UmbralRaptop: yeah seems train is a mess because SNCF metric (nearly 6 h from Cambridge) and then you need a taxi at the end anyway, so renting a car seems more sensible

blarg.
