Re:Show HN: Word2Bits – Quantized Word Vectors by rspeer on Tuesday March 20, 2018 @01:23PM (#16630593)
I'm glad we could at least get you to read it, but you're still not caught up. The effect is many orders of magnitude larger than floating point error.

The notion that implicit bias could be corrected by quantization (not "quantification") is an interesting hypothesis, with a low prior probability, which could be tested by experiment and easily published if it is true.
