12 hours isn't enough time? https://ballotpedia.org/State_Poll_Opening_and_Closing_Times...

Why are you pretending the obvious answer isn't correct. Young people don't care.

i remember implementing miller rabin for project euler. but i still preferred the 4Gb file i produced via sieve of eratosthenes for most of the problems where i could use it.

It's just a moral panic. Caring about tools other people use is very stupid. Even worse is pretending the tools dont work.

> For any non-trivial problem, an LLM generating a solution is in one of three states at any given step

This seems like a restatement of 'law of trichotomy' not a description of a some state the LLM is occupying.

> When an LLM documents the state of a problem, that documentation reflects whichever of the three states it was in at the time of writing.

This doesn't make sense. Why would the 'relative direction' of prior generation be coupled to the output of a summarization task?

> A sleep protocol that ingests those notes and resolves them is not approaching truth. It is averaging over an unknown mixture of states (1), (2), and (3) - then presenting the result as settled

Unfounded averaging assertion?

Reads like word salad to me.

of course they do. read any prospectus for a FUND and funds track INDEXES using rules. inclusion in some index doesn't hamstring anyone.

blind purchases are not going to happen. people assume passive indexing is brainless, but it isnt.

That's not true. The mental model is a distribution over completions. Weird you say LLMs are like genies, genies being magical beings that can accomplish anything.
