in making his array for the segmented bins, he makes bins for 8 - 512 using multiples of 8 (so 63 bins, but only the last 62 are ever used). how does he determine the size for the remaining 63 bins? He mentions they are logarithmically spaced, but is there some sort of equation he used to do that optimally?
