Hi, I'm the original author of unsure calculator. Let me just say thank you! I love the code and the fact that people are having a go at this stuff.

I'd argue this is WAI.

It's hard for me to imagine _dividing_ by -1~1 in a real-world scenario, but let's say we divide by 0~10, which also includes zero. For example, we are dividing the income between 0 to 10 shareholders (still forced, but ok).

Clearly, it's possible to have a division by zero here, so "0 sharehodlers would each get infinity". And in fact, if you try to compute 500 / 0, or even 500~1000 / 0, it will correctly show infinity.

But if you divide by a range that merely _includes_ zero, I don't think it should give you infinity. Ask yourself this: does 95% of results of 500 / 0~10 become infinity?

Wow, this is fantastic! I did not know about squiggle language, and it's basically what I was trying to get to from my unsure calculator through my next project (https://filiph.github.io/napkin/). Squiggle looks and works much better.

Thanks for the link!

I'm familiar with fuzzy numbers (e.g. see my https://filiph.net/fuzzy/ toy) but I didn't know there's arithmetic with fuzzy numbers. How is it done? Do you have a link?

Part of the confusion here is likely that the tool, as seen on the web, probably lags significantly behind the code. I've started using a related but different tool (https://filiph.github.io/napkin/).

The HN mods gave me an opportunity to resubmit the link, so I did. If I had more time, I'd have also upgraded the tool to the latest version and fix the wording. But unfortunately, I didn't find the time to do this.

Apologies for the confusion!
