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.

I love seeing a Shewchuk citation other than my ML background of learning conjugate gradient! He is truly a great educator!

his predicates paper opens with "Computational geometers despise floating-point arithmetic" same trick as the CG title: write the sentence a frustrated reader would write, then aren it.. if you like those the Triangle paper is the third one in the same key
