Is it guaranteed that quads later in the vertex buffer will be drawn on top of previous quads?

Let's say we are drawing a bunch of rectangles in OpenGL. That is, we're filling up a vertex buffer and then drawing them all in a single call call via drawArrays, like this:

let count = 3;

gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, positionBuffer);
gl.bufferData(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, points, gl.STATIC_DRAW);
gl.vertexAttribPointer(positionAttributeLocation, 2, gl.FLOAT, false, 0, 0);

gl.drawArrays(gl.TRIANGLES, 0, 6 * count);

My question is: is it guaranteed that later rectangles will be drawn on top of prior rectangles? I'm not using depth testing, and everything is 2D and on the same z-axis.

It always seems to be the case in my testing, but my reason for assuming it may not always be the case is that GPUs are parallel. That is, say we were to draw 100,000 rectangles. Obviously the GPU is not rendering them sequentially, as the GPU is a parallel device, and the rendering completes in milliseconds.

If that is indeed the case, then is it possible for rectangles earlier in the buffer to be drawn on top of rectangles later in the buffer? Because they are all drawn at the same time? And if so, is there any way to prevent this? For my application, I want to be positive that quads later in the vertex buffer are always drawn on top of previous quads.

How to show number of registered users in Laravel based on usertype?

i'm trying to display data from the database in the admin dashboard i used this: <?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB; $users = DB::table('users')->count(); echo $users; ?> and i have successfully get the correct data from the database but what if i want to display a specific data for example in this user table there is "usertype" that specify if the user is normal user or admin i want to user the same code above but to display a specific usertype i tried this: <?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB; $users = DB::table('users')->count()->WHERE usertype =admin; echo $users; ?> but it didn't work, what am i doing wrong? source https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68199726/how-to-show-number-of-registered-users-in-laravel-based-on-usertype

ValueError: X has 10 features, but LinearRegression is expecting 1 features as input

So, I am trying to predict the model but its throwing error like it has 10 features but it expacts only 1. So I am confused can anyone help me with it? more importantly its not working for me when my friend runs it. It works perfectly fine dose anyone know the reason about it? cv = KFold(n_splits = 10) all_loss = [] for i in range(9): # 1st for loop over polynomial orders poly_order = i X_train = make_polynomial(x, poly_order) loss_at_order = [] # initiate a set to collect loss for CV for train_index, test_index in cv.split(X_train): print('TRAIN:', train_index, 'TEST:', test_index) X_train_cv, X_test_cv = X_train[train_index], X_test[test_index] t_train_cv, t_test_cv = t[train_index], t[test_index] reg.fit(X_train_cv, t_train_cv) loss_at_order.append(np.mean((t_test_cv - reg.predict(X_test_cv))**2)) # collect loss at fold all_loss.append(np.mean(loss_at_order)) # collect loss at order plt.plot(np.log(al...
