Not sure if this was written with AI assistance of not, but I've become allergic to linguistic triples as LLMs use them so much, reading "Same code. Same input. Different answer" makes me not want to read the rest.
If the original code was written in Rust, then I don't think the Rust compiler is allowed to do any of these "optimizations" of rewriting floating point expressions.

Or maybe they don't teach that anymore, I dunno.
See link for the Fundamental Axiom of Floating Point Arithmetic: All floating point arithmetic operations are exact up to a relative error of epsilon_machine.
I love seeing a Shewchuk citation other than my ML background of learning conjugate gradient! He is truly a great educator!
(Meanwhile, I wonder why it's a fair bit harder to look up Ozaki et al.'s optimized version [0] compared to Shewchuk's original paper [1], unless perhaps later authors have found it to be no improvement at all.)

That's why they always teach: "never compare floats for equality." Or maybe they don't teach that anymore, I dunno.

Its weird that almost every AI generated blurb tends to have that. Usually followed by "Its not just X, its Y". I wonder where they picked that up from.
