Sorting the floats reduces the error. I think using multiple accumulators reduces the accuracy then. And sorted data is not uncommon.

I think there is always a correct answer and the compiler shouldn’t make changes at least by default that are wrong.

But ways for the programmer to express his intent more clearly are always welcome.

Not necessarily. If the array is large and the values are similar, using accumulators would yield a more accurate result than a single one.

Multiple accumulators increases accuracy. See pairwise summation, for example.

SIMD sums are going to typically be much more accurate than a naive sum.

Not necessarily either. It's not particularly hard to create a vector where in-order addition is the most accurate way to sum its terms. All you need is a sequence where the next term is close to the sum of all prior ones.

There just isn't a one-size-fit-all solution to be had here.

But there is: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40867842

That’s a one size fits some solution. Not more than 2x as slower than native floats is pretty slow for cases where you don’t need the extra precision.

If might be the case that it is the best solution if you do need the extra precision. But that’s just one case, not all.

Defend how?

You're aware that we can see your comment history and how you made 0 non-political comments, right?

But defending bibi? It's just wrong/

Maybe contribute something technical from time to time instead of only popping up when we're discussing politics?

Or is this supposed to be your politics-only account because you're too scared to use the other one?

To answer your question though. It’s neither. The court found that allegations of genocide are plausible.

That is, especially some of the statements by senior officials could be understood as genocidal.

What I gleaned from reading blogs: It is likely that the actus reus for genocide is there but intent will be very hard to prove if it exists

A great article from an international law prof explaining the finding can be found here: https://www.ejiltalk.org/icj-indicates-provisional-measures-...

The blog has articles on the topic from both sides from numerous lawyers

Finally, this is the first article I've seen that really explains the ruling.

Thanks, that was extremely helpful in understanding not just the ruling, but the remit of the court.
