to add insult to injury, graphics drivers love to do "fast math" optimizations when compiling your shaders, happily optimizing out your workarounds by using algebraic transformations that don't actually apply to floats

one very fun thing i discovered in graphics programming is that opengl es only requires support for 16-bit floats. not only that, but built-in functions for e.g. normalizing a vector will square their operands at 16-bit precision, which overflows hilariously easily

undeterred by ieee-754, hardware folks apparently love inventing new ways to make floating-point operations cursed and nondeterminstic

i don't think OP specifically believes this, so this is more a general sentiment, but wow i'm tired of the anti-technology contingent of the left, and the pipeline into full-on degrowth pastoralism. whatever happened to fully-automated luxury gay space communism

the saddest part is seeing people suffer at the hand of "community leaders" and influential people, only to deliberately choose not to learn any overarching lessons and discourage others from doing so because they still believe in The Movement and don't want to do anything that could weaken it

once i'd suffered abuse at the hands of manipulative clout goblins in left-wing spaces who rose to prominence by saying all the right things, i quickly began to appreciate impersonal forms of governance and was deradicalized a fair bit

you think democrats- note that the poster is not talking specifically about senate dems even, but democrats in general- "secretly want pretty much everything Republicans are doing"?

it just feels like there's a weird dissonance here. one group's saying "senate dems who are retiring or not up for reelection are taking the fall for this", and another group is saying "democrats are the same as republicans, or worse, and voting for them is a waste of time"

yes, them being extremely stupid is far more likely than them being literal controlled opposition who agree with everything republicans are doing

surely you don't agree that "democrats are actually worse than republicans" or that there's "no difference between voting for" them and republicans...?

i think there's a substantial gap between "senate dems are cowards who can't meet the moment and need to be primaried" and "dems are working with republicans because they serve the same masters; voting won't change anything and is for suckers"

to be clear, the senate dems who voted yes absolutely took the fall for a lot of other moderates. what i *do* think is dumb is thread after thread of people saying that means democrats secretly agree with republicans on everything, are controlled opposition, etc. and aren't worth voting for

there are threads *full* of people saying stuff like this, that dems are controlled opposition, agree with everything republicans do, they're never voting for them again, etc. i think it's a seriously overlooked aspect of this outcome

this is what makes me maddest about the cave. there's a large contingent of terminally-online leftists preaching "both parties are the same and voting is meaningless, give up and eternally poast about revolution online", and every time dems do something like this, they're giving them ammo.
it's dumb, but i think the "uniparty controlled opposition rotating villain" rhetoric that comes out every time the dems cave is a big deal. over and over, loads of people gain online clout from saying that democrats will never get another cent of their money or another vote from them

i think a lot of dems are unaware of just how much they're demoralizing their base, to the point of advocating *against* democrats, whenever this stuff happens. the conspiracy theories aren't true, but they're easy to believe, especially when conveniently amplified by an algorithm

for example, segment anything 2 could save *hours* of tedious rotoscoping work, but i think there's still no good answer on how to use it with onnx runtime, and it uses a custom cuda connected-components algorithm that needs its own gcc toolchain
