With floats getting smaller and smaller in ML, It's hard to imagine anyone failing to learn this as one of their early experiences in the field.
The focus should not be on the possibility of error, but managing the error to be within acceptable limits. There's a hour long video there, and it's 3am, so I'm not sure how much of this covers management. Anyone familiar with it care to say?
