As a general technique yes. Less so as "create a model or entire world out of an sdf equation."

Btw to me this is one of the best of IQ: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/4ttSWf

It runs at 10fps on my gen12 intel at fullscreen. These techniques are cute but limited.

"My kids grew up under 24/7 adulting and had nowhere to go."

Yes but this has nothing to do with cars. What are you even protecting kids from anyway?

You think there wernt cars when I was a kid? I lived in the subs. Kid utopia!

Can you imagine bringing up cars in this thread?

WebGPU (WGSL) handles this by having a specified accuracy for each operation.

This is all fully tested in the CTS.

Isnt the reason to by a Framework (or similar) because you would not want to be part of Apple's ecosystem? Why would benchmarks even matter here?

esp when the number is capped at only 64 bits which is quite small for some bigInt style numbers.

I dont know who this Group is but it all sounds very schmittian.

It is not my role to convince someone of anything. I have to much respect for the human for that.

You, as human, should seek out the truth in your time and not turn away from it.

So you mentioned the 'truckers'. Here [0] is the truth in your time. I will make no attempt trick you into holding position.

Finally to complete the picture you should understand that the Carney government was recently formed in opposition to the democratic voice of the people. It was formed by nullifying the votes of the electorate. Everyone on all sides know this was a deeply immoral act. One has to ask what kind of leader is this?

This was in reference to Carney. I dont think Carney represents the people very well.

It is not a sovereign wealth fund. The name is intended to clash with a real sovereign wealth fund like say Norway has. Basically you need wealth and Canada has the inverse of wealth it has deficits.

The fund was created (of course) by debt. It is a bit like borrowing to invest in the stock market rather than trying to invest your savings/income. Canada already has massive federal debt due to insane levels of mismanagment.

So why would Canada create such a bizarre 'fund'. Well it is what happens when you put a banker in charge of a country. You get banking solutions to country problems.

So now you see why Carney's career path matters. This is just the tip of the iceberg. If you want to know more I can link you to many facets that you might find interesting.

This makes sense once you see the list of Canadian companies

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_companies_in_C...

#1 is Brookfield Corporation.

The now prime minister of Canada headed the ESG there. He is also an international central banker.
