in java 20+ there are at least functions for simple scalar conversions: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/20/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/Float.html#float16ToFloat(short) https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/20/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/Float.html#floatToFloat16(float) So it could be used to store data as `short` and then "expand" to float32 for...

looking at that branch too, the hardware support currently only exists for x86: add: https://github.com/openjdk/panama-vector/blob/vectorIntrinsics%2Bfp16/src/hotspot/cpu/x86/x86.ad#L5527-L5536 mul: https://github.com/openjdk/panama-vector/blob/vectorIntrinsics%2Bfp16/src/hotspot/cpu/x86/x86.ad#L6036-L6045 reduce: https://github.com/openjdk/panama-vector/blob/vectorIntrinsics%2Bfp16/src/hotspot/cpu/x86/x86.ad#L5002-L5011 sub: https://github.com/openjdk/panama-vector/blob/vectorIntrinsics%2Bfp16/src/hotspot/cpu/x86/x86.ad#L5746-L5755 This is all we use across the floating point...

vector api still doesnt support it yet in openjdk `main`

I don't see the purpose of generating docs with LLM. User can always do this themselves. Docs should contain information that can't be automatically generated from the source code. To...

For javadocs in particular, I am concerned about how these chatbots generate text that is 400% more verbose than it needs to be. We need to be very careful around...

this comes pretty close though:

> `..it's like trying to drain the swamp, and the swamp keeps finding new ways to refill itself.` LOL!! Which LLM and what prompt created this [@rmuir](https://github.com/rmuir)! Can it generate...

@dweiss I'd like to throw out the built-in github functionality as another alternative. To create a release I typically do `gh release create "${GITHUB_REF_NAME}" --generate-notes`. This is the same as...

It is not difficult to lint commit messages. The linters all kinda suck though. ```yaml - name: Checkout sources uses: actions/checkout with: fetch-depth: 0 ... - name: Validate PR commits...
