As soon as you use decimals in computer and human calculations, they become lossy.

What does lossy mean? I'm not trying to die on any hill, but I'm quite confused aswell.

No because you said this:

If you want to precisely write to infinity you write 1/3.

You can also precisely write to infinity if you write 0.333....

Decimals are lossy, fractions aren’t.

Decimals aren't lossy, any fraction can be converted to decimal but it just takes longer to write.

Tf you mean?? You can write it in a repeating decimal as 0.333.... using ellipsis. https://wiki.froth.zone/wiki/Repeating_decimal
