I have a question for any historians who may see this:
In pre-modern Japan, specifically the turning point of the Sengoku to the Edo period (~1600 CE), how did the process of marriage work?
Doing my own research I'm getting a lot of hits about marriage customs and traditions, especially amongst the nobility, but I don't need details about ceremonies or common wedding gifts or anything like that. What I'm interested in is, was there some legal aspect of it, especially for commoners? Did they have to go somewhere to register or sign a contract or have it witnessed, or was it just a "Hey, we're married now!" agreement between two consenting adults?
Like… if two people, with no family to worry about, were lovers and already living together, and they decided to get married… were they just married, like, automatically, due to making that decision together? Could they just start calling themselves husband and wife, or did they have to do something specific to make that designation real?
I'm having some real trouble doing the research for this on my own, I'm not getting the answer I'm looking for.

(I know it's highly unlikely, culturally, for two people to be living together apart from their families before marriage, but it's for a fic I'm writing, so let's pretend that all the living together and vow of being together forever stuff is taken care of and all they have to worry about now is the "marriage" part. Also, having a ceremony isn't practical, since they're on their own with no family or friends nearby to celebrate with. What do they have to do to make the marriage thing official when everything else is taken care of already?)

Emulated FP64
Choosing the right news sources is important. In my case Hacker News 50 proved to be precious as in this recent post/toot/message they proposed "Fifteen Years of FP64 Segmentation, and Why the Blackwell Ultra Breaks the Pattern".Briefly, modern consumer GPU has a 64:1 ration in FP64:FP32 performances (FP64 is a shortcut for Double-precision floating-point number format).

Sometimes in life you have to stop when you least expect it.
Sometimes all you can do is... wait.

@aeva Oh for sure, I don't think anything could get me to fully switch, I just remember really anticipating one of them roughly a decade ago and I've always been really curious about them lol. Nothing beats the scratch scratch of pen on paper though

Right.
All of my engineering career if I want to explain to friends what I do I have to describe in way too much detail how trunked terrestrial emergency radio systems, advanced train signalling or aerospace composite tooling systems worked.
It was nice during my stint at Blackberry when I could just take out my phone, point to it and say "the Whatsaflam app? I did that."
