About goldenkey

Hardy couldn't have been more wrong about the innocence of pure mathematics. But we live by his legacy. In the sands of time, where do you dine? It better be divine!

    The future of this is the same as what happened with PCs. The specificity will initially be thrown away, added back later as an accelerator, and eventually, brought back into the f…

    There's really no God algorithm needed, just something good enough to assist with research of the next tier of hardware, energy, and code for AI.

    Might as well just include everyone's games inside of everyone else's game as nested entities whose microstates determine the above games macrostates. This is very similar to Refle…

    Explains a bit or two about bitter almond, doesn't it?

    On Windows I believe one can call an API like VirtualProtect to prevent swap/eviction from RAM. Should be possible on Linux too? Yeah, it'd only really be useful if one was running…

    Best to write a launcher that simply forks an existing process that is in the right initial state. Other folks mention caching the ELF file but that will be slower than the loaded …

    We've replaced our plant-based citizen alternatives with stars. They twinkle and we like to look at them.

    Factory farmed meat is cancer too. I'd say, save the animals, and give a little toxicity to all the proles who haven't gone unprocessed plant-based yet.

    Lines up a bit too perfectly. Everyone has their threshold of coincidence I suppose. I am working on some hard science into measuring the amount of computation actually happening, …

    Heh, you do realize that we live in a quantum supercomputer that computes at 10^50 Hz/Kg and 10^34 Hz/Joule? The wave particle duality is just a min-decision/min-consciousness opti…

    Consciousness is generated when the universe computes by executing conditionals/if statements. All machines are quantum/conscious in their degrees of freedom, even mechanical ones:…

    The animals we farm are intelligent and yet we still override their desires for their bodies with our own, for slaughter. Hell, even plants are very sophisticated (intelligent) con…

    It is for the safety of everyone. The kids will die too if we don't get this right.

    Axioms are constraints as much as they might look like guidance. We live in a neuromorphic computer. Logic explores this, even with few axioms. With fewer axioms, it will be less c…

    LLMs are able to do complex logic within the world of words. It is a a smaller matrix than our world but fueled by the same chaotic symmetries of our universe. I would not underest…

    Very true. However, we live in a supercomputer dictated by E=mc^2=hf [2,3]. (10^50 Hz/Kg or 10^34 Hz/J) Energy physics yield compute, which yields brute forced weights (call it tra…

    There was a line Rom says in DS9 that think sums the Ferengi up pretty well: "We don't want to stop the exploitation. We want to find a way to become the exploiters."
