stop complaining and just look at the godoc? not everything needs to be for You (experts). there are millions of upcoming net new coders who are most fluid at navigating when presented this way. and it’s easy for other models too. humans are no longer the motive force of information transmission.

and once again I question: what decline of superstition? expert- commission-worship and committee-worship, its own form of superstition, supplanted older forms of irrationalism but with no increase in actual purchase on reality. mesmerism, psychical, criminological, and race anthropological forensic “science” has been participating in the same fads of epistemology as the rest of it. you read a report by the library of congress and you read what lawmakers do in response and the eventual judicial impact, and you have a hard time locating that decline, unless you are also under the superstition of prestige.

it takes half a percentage point off the top last time i evaluated it (nvidia). you might call that cheap but that’s millions of dollars in a run, and for what, protecting from who? especially when the platforms have been compromised to the point of key leak (which they have).

edit: i just looked up training numbers and the impact is even worse, 20-30% throughput vaporized. yeah, nobody is doing that.

I sincerely doubt anyone is paying the cost for that in training, the overhead is small but it isn’t negligible and training is when it matters most. https://tee.fail can solve it if they are.

what decline of superstition? America in particular was writhing with religious revivals, cults, and new age movements to the present day. religious adherence spiked massively, spiritualism absolutely exploded after their civil war.

at one point I learned that it would only take a few hundred thousand years to evolve an eye, and time felt much deeper.

it is, but more specifically it’s an eliminator for a coinductive step.

CPS is an intermediate representation, humans shouldn’t have to tolerate it.

any of the quite many cost-aware logical frameworks. it’s SO. easy. to. do. you fools are just willfully ignorant on how to represent reasoning, despite alleging yourselves to be computer scientists?

there are more interesting recursion schemes to traverse and aggregate with, but they are intricate to express without a powerful language and confuse small minds so aren’t worth often using. QI(I)Ts let you simultaneously declare how you witness and not just how you construct.

looking for any kind of testing or help? it’s been probably 10+ years since we were in the same irc channels (cmr/KB1PKL). email is in profile :)

naive applications of this would lead you to believe no knowledge is possible, and that progress is not meaningful when liveness can’t be guaranteed.

it’s all rubbish, grandparent is a small mind who can’t figure out how it’s a step up from nothing.

I kept an LFS system going for a few months (on a wretchedly awful by modern standards celeron “net top”) until eventually making a mess I couldn’t figure out how to untangle during a system upgrade. this gave me the sheer force of will necessary to later do things like own the multiplatform build system for an ocaml based distributed system (mina)

The candycodes mentioned at the end of the article are absolutely brilliant as well. These products have extremely intimate relations with bodies and protecting that chain can avoid a lot of harm.

we should call out effortless hunters too, you cast more asperity with your folly than you find truth. try pangram next time, but I do want to say that you aren’t OK.
