Everyone knows 9.5 is more than 9.11 except devs, apparently

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

That's standard semantic versioning. not mathematic decimal. In case it helps to understand this, the full version is 0.19.11 which is clearly not a valid mathematical number.

ChatGPT disagrees. I asked: "Hello there I have a question. Which is bigger: 9.5 or 9.11?"

9.11 is bigger than 9.5. The number 9.11 is greater because when you compare them as decimals, 9.11 is equivalent to 9.110, which is greater than 9.5.

My ChatGPT says:

9.5 is bigger than 9.11.

This can be confusing because "9.11" might look like it's greater due to the extra digit, but it's not. Think of both numbers as decimals:

9.5 is the same as 9.50

9.11 stays as 9.11

Now compare: 9.50 > 9.11, just like 50 > 11 after the decimal point.

Let me know if you want a visual or a trick to remember this!

Were you logged in? I just used the landing page chat, without logging in.

Yes. Maybe I have access to a better version since I've consented to having my data collected. I use the app, and I'm pretty sure my login is via Google and everything. (Privacy is important to have by default, but I like to opt in to things, mostly for fun. I understand this may be horrifying to many, and I apologize for my weird hobbies.)

Who cares what it output?

I thought it was funny that it made such a basic mistake, but I'll be sure to ask you before posting such things in the future.

It's like pi seeming like a big number when in reality, 3.15 is bigger than pi

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

What? Only when you look at it as a number in its entirety. But it's actually version 9 and it's 5th / 11th iteration.
