@mrsbeanbag that's what --ffast-math is for. But I am more than willing to acknowledge my limited experience working with floating point math, I had to look up what Lerp was...
@mrsbeanbag I would let the compiler decide, and write whatever is the most ergonomic.
@seth Robotics is proven AGI isn't. I am know that machine learning is used all over the place, so is cnc.
@gsuberland i an not certain but I believe that earlier elements could have greater influence then later. And I don't like the constant re-normalisation of floating point values.
Runsum = vec3.sum( Runsum, newel);
Mean = vec3.Lerp( 0, Runsum, 1.0 / count);
Should be as fast.
@gsuberland i fear it's just an approximation. Any reason you can't have a running sum?
@gdupont Automated logistics, and robot aided manufacturing has been things for a very long time. When most companies/people talk AI they mean AGI witch has not been proven at all.

@jwildeboer The funniest and most depressing part about that is that a lot of the debates over using content warnings would be solved by people actually using it as a subject field, which would in turn naturally end up covering the content warning functionality as an incidental side-effect much of the time!
@futurebird @atomicpoet not harder then actually useful AI. The imagined need to make them humanoid will make it much harder though.

Tell you what, being vocal about Health & Safety has been a very useful filter.
It's the same way being vocal about Codes of Conduct was 10 years ago.
Turns out, if somebody has an allergic reaction to proactive measures to keep a community healthy and safe, then they're probably not safe to have around in the first place.

If the idea of violent protests don't make you at least little scared I wonder how well you know history. At the same time, real change almost never happens without people putting their bodies on the line.
The right understands this far better than your average liberal/moderate. To be a moderate is to trust that existing systems will (mostly) work.
If those system fail? What then? To even consider this is moderate treason.

Wow - #LK99 not only successfully synthesized, but also showing larger levitation angle at room temperature than original paper, providing further support for the claims of room-temperature #superconductivity.
This is starting to get veeeery exciting!

Yo LK99 is holding up so far

“The reason most public transportation is seen as ‘losing’ money is precisely because it charges for trips. If you don't charge fares, suddenly it can't ‘lose’ money. It just costs money, the same as the roads.”
This random comment has given me my new favourite argument for removing fares from public transit.
@micah the four kids on the right looks like they are really uncomfortable with whatever is happening.
@xarvos @solarmerps mesa does some special casing, assuming you are talking about graphics related things.

It’s probably a good idea to repost this incredibly prophetic cartoon from 2014 at regular intervals because every day I see people who still haven’t fully imbibed its message. Apologies if it’s old hat to you.
