@Tbsa this is an improvement over Trump and couch fucker.

Family planning / unsought opinion 

@never_released makes sense, scan out is probably hardcoded in the firmware.

@mrsbeanbag if you wouldn't mind, in your experience how often, and how badly does things get broken?, I have used -Ofast for as long as it has been available and never had issues, but I also avoid floating point math as the plague.

@mrsbeanbag I would say: that is what testing is for. But I have never setup a proper testing infrastructure for any of the projects I have started.

Unit test should catch these errors, but you would have to set up one for every critical math function.

@never_released isn't 4k60 twice the pixel clock, compered to 1080p120?

@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.
