Re:How to fit any dataset with a single parameter by Kranar on Wednesday September 29, 2021 @06:14PM (#28700682)
Every number has infinite digits or can be made to have infinite digits for a given representation, but that's not the same as a number having an infinite amount of information. PI represents a finite amount of information, as opposed to say a number like Chaitin's constant which represents an infinite and irreducible amount of information:

You are right about information, but the comment you replied to is still right about precision.
