Ever wanted to simulate an entire house in MuJoCo or a very cluttered kitchen? Well now you can with the newly introduced sleeping islands: groups of stationary bodies that drop out of the physics pipeline until disturbed. Check out Yuval's amazing video and documentation 👇

is this also on mj warp / newton?

Not yet, just landed in C MuJoCo.

any plans for that? would be a great upgrade over physx gpu which afaik doesn’t have that

Just asked: it's a top priority after mjwarp stable release scheduled for December.

I'm really not a fan of these types of optimizations, makes parallelization so unpredictable

When are we going to see hfield-primitives collision enabled?? Was looking forward to it since long

Is that like Lazy physics evaluation? How did we end up on calling it sleeping islands..lol

.Naval: Every human is a lottery ticket bet on the future of the species. One of the things that you really learn when you read David Deutsch’s theories and you authenticate them for yourself is you realize humans are universal explainers. That means everything that we know in the universe follows the laws of physics, and there’s no reason to believe otherwise. If you think otherwise, then please present your better theory that explains the world. If you can’t do that, then you have to go with the laws of physics. Well, the laws of physics are completely computable. They can fit inside a Turing machine or computer, and a computer can simulate the laws of physics with arbitrary accuracy, limited only by the specific power of that computer. If you increase the power of that computer, you can simulate them more accurately. So humans already simulate—in our minds we simulate—and through our computers we simulate the weather, we simulate quasars, we even simulate human systems. We simulate the economy. We simulate all kinds of things. So anything that can be understood, we can understand in our minds. This is something the AGI people get wrong when they talk about superintelligence. There is nothing out there that can understand something fundamentally that we can’t understand. It might be faster at it, it might have more compute, it might have more memory, but there’s no concept that it can understand that we can’t ourselves understand. So we are maximal universal explainers. That means every human is capable of unbounded creativity. Anyone could be the next Einstein or Fermi or Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos or Jonas Salk or whatever. So we can create anything. And if we can create anything, every human is a lottery ticket bet on the future of the species.
