| In reply to | #15752 |
Hi,
Now that the debate with Chris M. Thomasson
has culminated in questions of elasticity,
I suggest this homework:
- Game Engine in WebGPU
It will support the life cycle of sprites,
like sprites comming out of nowhere,
and being destroyed by arms,
just like in Space invader.
This would be surely a fantastic exercise,
to see what a GPU can do and cannot do,
in respect of life cycle of threads, especially
modern GPUs that sell the CUDA dream.
Have Fun!
Become a nosomatic AI chirurgeon.

Which has then the advantage of: Modern operating systems like Windows 11 enforce strict Data Execution Prevention (DEP) (or NX/XD bit security features) to prevent malicious programs from injecting and executing code inside data-only memory regions. https://root-nation.com/en/soft-en/lifehacks/en-dep-windows-all-about/ I adopted data RAM and code ROM model for pi-WAM from Hack, which has the same separation: Slide 58, Hack Computer https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z_fxYmmRNXTkAzmZ6YMoX9NXZIRVCKiw/view But my motivation was not Johnny Depp prevention. Rather the caching of GPUs. Because WGSL allows storage annotations read_write and read. I use read_write for the data RAM of my Hack VM variant, and read for the code ROM of my Hack VM variant. You can see that here, its open source: @group(0) @binding(0) var<storage, read> code: array<i32>; @group(0) @binding(1) var<storage, read_write> state: array<i32>; 11.4 Giga Lips with a Budget Laptop https://github.com/Jean-Luc-Picard-2021/gigabudget Hope this Helps!

Hi, Well there are two viewpoint, the "client" of the GPU, which is the CPU, and the "server" of the GPU, which is the command processor queue of the GPU device. So basically as a CPU client I can write the memory area, that is later mapped to my GPU code storage. And this way have a compiler, even written in Prolog, that compiles pi-WAM to my Hack VM, that can then be then deployed to GPU. You could also try the same with a Tiny LISP VM. And a grown up LISP to act as the compiler. Would be a similar exercise. Have Fun!

But here you are to explain it all. It's easy for you because with your Creationist fantasies the Earth is only 6,000 years old. It's the height of foolishness, but you guys profess it because I guess it's not a simple matter to demonstrate the geological core that clearly indicates billions of years. You can hand wave that away and point at the Ming Dynasty as the first men walking the Earth. How simple time is for you. Simple, but entirely mistaken and false.

Hi,
You refuse to undertand the NVIDIA Volta
archecture. You claim to like in the
sense of "That's a good quote" some
completely made up nonsense? Bravo! I just
copied a nasa article title, which had nothing
to do with "time" per se:
CLARREO Pathfinder
https://science.nasa.gov/mission/clarreo-pathfinder/
Its more a very big vacuum cleaner, that can
scan highly accurate measurements of sunlight
reflected by the Earth and the Moon.
You are just a moron, that still feels harware
evelution a treat, but would like to see data
from a Einstein pathfinder. As if this
is not the ultimate tech cult?
As always you suck, like nobody else ever
sucked on the usenet. You are just completely
bonkers, the bigger crank than Archimedes
Plutonion and John Gabriel.

Hi
BTW, NVIDIA had a GPU card named Einstein and
an Einstein project. I guess these earth
and star gazers would like to number crunch
images with Q8.24 RGB values. Now Einstein
name was adopted for another GPU Project:
We had a number of tutorials on CarpetX
and science codes based on CarpetX, the new,
GPU-enabled version of the Einstein Toolkit.
https://einsteintoolkit.org/
The results show excellent agreement with
the well-established LazEv code. Scaling
tests on CPU (Frontera) and GPU (Vista)
clusters reveal significant performance
gains, with the new implementation achieving
improved speed and scalability compared
to the Carpet-based version.
GPU-accelerated Subcycling Time
Integration with the Einstein Toolkit
https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.09629
GPUs were traditionally used by earth and
star gazers early on, because they can
speed up the scanning of large areas,
also in 4 dimensions, i.e. space and time.
Have Fun!

Hi, "Space-based data centers or orbital AI infrastructure are proposed concepts to build AI data centers in the sun-synchronous orbit or other orbits using space- based solar power. Space-based edge computing has historical roots in military architectures designed to bypass the latency of ground-based targeting networks." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-based_data_center Just to give you an idea.

That addled nincompoop, it cut the original context.
That's misrepresentation for you: making idiots worse.
Perhaps one of the best references for Einstein's theory of relativity
is Einstein's "Out of My Later Years", though it's a bit biographical in
the beginning and end, the middle sees laid out very specifically
what Einstein says is "relativity theory" ("a simple negative
stipulation").
The space contraction comes first from FitzGerald, decades before
Lorentz, and various accounts of Lorentzians, any account of which
models "relativity theory", make for real space contraction, in GR,
then Einstein for example separates the "spatial" and "spacial" of
"GR" and "SR".
Einstein also takes pains to clarify that "SR is local", then as with
regards to a clock hypothesis _and_ a universal clock hypothesis,
you can read Einstein explaining why it's so.
Here there are quite a variety of Lorentzians, about things like
Levi-Civita's "the indefiniteness of ds^2".
The plain pure SR-ians are partial, incomplete, and merely local.
Much like "meeting the Lorentzian" makes for a model of
relativity theory, "meeting the Schreodingerian" makes
for models of quantum mechanics.
So, a "doubly-objective relativity theory" may have
both relativity of motion and aside relativity of
space, so that once again there's an aether theory
in it, for example about how in "Sidelights on Relativity",
that Einstein makes accords for an aether in the theory.
Similarly for Born's infinite self-energy and Feynman's
renormalizibility of theories, after Reichenbach about
"Schroedingerians", the quantum mechanics can be a
continuous, deterministic quantum mechanics.
Then a "clock hypothesis" which is usually for anyone
a "universal clock hypothesis" and not the apologet-a-lit's
"not-a-clock-hypothesis-hypothesis" is a usual idea, that
in general relativity usually keeps the geodesy (or other
accounts of the world-lines) current everywhere constantly,
or establishes all matters of time-dependence and time-ordering
in any account of quantum theory.
A) The geodesy's instantaneously evaluated everywhere over everywhere
all the time.
B) The time-ordering and time-dependence defines the action of QM.
>
By the time orthogonality, unitarity, _and_ complementarity get
satisfied, a universal "time" is always about the most moderating
influence.
About the charge-parity-time symmetries, charge symmetry and
parity symmetry have been broken, yet time symmetry has _never_
been falsified: making of itself that as a large overall experiment its
data supporting a "universal clock hypothesis".
Lagrangians are universally parameterized by _time_,
and, force the usual account as a vector is
always itself a function of _time_. (Instead of a tensor, ....)
Then, Einstein could be read as "you know, sometimes people read
too much into what I say, ...", then also "well, you know, Einstein's
relativity theory that's Newtonian in the limit is very good at that,
not saying much, actually I have a bit of a problem with the Newtonian
and by that I mean the Galilean, so, here's a reasoning why the
space-contraction if it would be would vary for space-contraction-linear
and space-contraction-rotational, and about classical mechanics
itself before we get to the Mach-ian and a total field theory since
there's always an extra-local aspect to any field theory, which physics is".
Now I notice that some recent literature has been absconding with
the term "time-dependence" after "time-ordering", this is that
various accounts of causality and quantum causality which Reichenbach
says that Schroedingerians (as systems) as they would be have only
one job about "quantum causality", that in the recent literature
there are accounts of
A) "clock hypothesis" that's _not_ a clock hypothesis
B) "time-dependence" that's _not_ time-dependence
and other usual accounts since "negative time" (that's since
time-symmetry has never been falsified, has always been falsified,
as about "there are no closed finite time-like curves"),
that those are considered incompatible with the rest of
the literature.
So, those modern accounts worming around matters of definition
are as of a Babel-style babble their abuses of language.
Then about notions like "A-Theory" and "B-Theory" of time, ...,
here there's a universal clock hypothesis and clocks either
slow or meet, so there's never "negative time", and then
that in a convolutive sort of framework, for complementarity,
the stacks of derivation are re-visitable. (Then here there's
that "The A-Theory" as an axiomless then formal system with principles
of the Inverse and Thorough Reason" is so named a decade or more
before these other "A-Theory" accounts, and these days is
further expounded upon as "thea-theory", then with quite a
thorough attachment to both the idealistic and analytical traditions,
for an overall account of reason.)
Most people understand "relativity theory" naturally
as having their own account of having a perspective among perspectives,
and theorizing things as from more than one perspective,
that's mostly all there is to it, then for the more formally
specified bits about "relativity of motion" making for "relativity of
space", a "doubly-objective" relativity theory, then that this gets into
natural definitions of space-frames and frame-spaces or Rahme-Raumen and
Raume-Rahmen, then that the L-principle is a usual enough thing, most
people with any sense in their head who aren't entirely self-ish
"understand" "relativity theory".
Then they also usually understand "absolutes" first, also.
>
When thinking about "theory", I like the idea of having just one theory.
I think you may also, though if you're a nominalist fictionalist who's
a fragmented pluralist and absent ideals of regularities and rulialities
their repleteness in truth and causality for infinity and continuity, it
may be difficult.
That said the idea that all the accounts amount makes for a usual
sort of "one-world" hypothesis and a "universal clock hypothesis",
usually enough according to a "cosmological principle" that the
laws of nature are the same everywhere, even if the finite creatures
that usual thinking and feeling beings are have limits.
Thusly for paradox-free reason and constancy in definition for
a constant, consistent, complete, concrete theory, it's a usual
notion that students and researchers in "Foundations" find appealing.
And compelling, ....
>
Also there's that relativity theory and quantum mechanics disagree
with each other "120 orders of decimal magnitude", also there's
that neither has gravity in the theory, and neither has "rest" itself,
though of course there's a usual notion of "rest frame" and "particle"
and as about "the geodesy" and "the weakest force".
So, a reasonable sort of theory would be putting gravity into the
theories as alike a fall-gravity for the geodesy (or orbifold) for
relativity theories so that energy conservation isn't constantly
violated everywhere, and fall-gravity for the strong nuclear force
for quantum mechanics so that energy conservation isn't constantly
violated everywhere.
fall-gravity
>
That's why there are all the other systems of units.
>
What about that _length_ and _distance_ have different units,
about the _metric_ and _norm_, about _distance_ being _length_
in _time_, that time (its elapsed duration) could be defined
according to space-contraction instead of the other way around?
According to "references", ....
Otherwise those are going to vary under gravity, under acceleration,
and so on.
While there's often mentioned the GPS reference frequency,
not so much the GPS station operator's and station-keeping guide,
with that receivers >> stations.
So, another way to identify a metrology of time is "quasars"
instead of "hyper-fine transitions of the cesium atom,
in a museum in France".
It follows from the functional-freedom bit and various other
reasonings (that relativity theory and quantum theory falsify
each other).
If "creationists" is to mean "Big-Bang cosmologists with their
inflationary cosmology and expanding universe", that's the cosmology
they have, yet, there are others.
Of course everybody knows that the Earth's ephemeris is according
to "parameterized post-Newtonian", and that the definitions of the
quantum mechanics these days include gamma or quadru/multi-pole moments.
The NIST Particle Data Group CODATA releases the measured values
of fundamental physical constants every few years, the small ones
get not only more precise, also _smaller_, helping also inform that
the "running constants" of physics get involved.
So, physics is according to NIST CODATA, with SI: Systeme
Internationale, a reduced second, i.e. not first and quite reduced.
Then most people are also unawares how things like Boltzmann and
Planck constants as physical constants are much mathematical constants
that reflect their placement in terms for algebraic reductions again,
for example the roots of x^2 +-x +-1 like the molar gas constant in
the Boltzmann constant, then as with regards to Planck constant about
what mathematical reductionism is ongoing in the Planckian, why
those aren't exactly "physical" constants.
Anyways that "time" can be defined by "an average field of quasar
measurements" is a thing.
>
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchrotron
>
So, there's at least three accounts of what can define "measurement of
time", in the micro, meso, and macro.
Then these days pretty much the world relies on "the naval observatory
in Colorado" if not so much "the clock tower in Greenwich", as with
regards to ye olde UTC, CUT, "Zulu", and so on, time.
About relativity theory and "measuring rods and clocks", then, it's
similar that "metric and norm" for "length and distance" also has
about the Planckian what are "iota-values" as it would be, or, "Pauli
Plancks", or "Dirac's Pauli Plancks", of measuring space, vis-a-vis,
measuring time.
So, there are at least three accounts of what defines measuring time,
and at least three accounts of what defines measuring space.
Then, since relativity theory is defined by what does that,
it has the various ways, to so fulfill doing that.
Yeah, I know, most "professional physicists" only have one of those
on their little note-card with which they passed graduate school.
>
Thanks for writing.
I'm curious how to interpret the smiley, usually enough it's
a reaction of spontaneous happiness, yet in some regards it's
as like the monkey's grimace that's usually aggression or fear.
Then, the idea that there are "collective clocks" and that for
time there are independent metrologies of time as about
the atomic clock,
the synchroton clock,
and the quasar clock,
that would advise a lot of the context about "the clock hypothesis",
and also the role of clocks with rigid measuring rods of length,
for the metrology (the science of measurement) of space,
the metrologies, a metrology.
See, by ignoring trolls and omitting my put-downs of them,
concatenating my posts makes natural linear narrative.

Hi,
I even don't remember exactly why I landed

was hooked on SIMD and didn't understand Hack.
But the Hack work, rather belongs to my
Alma Mater Zurich and my personal heros, Gutnecht
and Wirth, who wrote a one pass Modula
compiler during some christmas holidays,
back then when I was student. Not sure
whether the Ljubljana School can do that,
when I read this here:
Finite Algebraic Effects as dicts and such
https://www.philipzucker.com/bdd_term_alg_effects/
I only find gibberish like:
- “Data” is somehow less mysterious to me
than “computation”. [..] I don’t even
know what “computation” really is
- In temporal logic, there is a logic CTL
which talks about computation trees.
- Algerbaic (LoL) effects is almost a complete
hackery abuse of the notion of arity
and that’s neat.
- Then there are 10^10 etc vectors which
show up if you discretize 3d/4d space. [..]
or reinforcement learning.
- Etc..
WTF is this guy smoking? I mean he even
doesn't uses math notation, only posts
Python code fragments à go go,
possibly a Python brain damage.
But still less sever than Rossy Boys.

Hi,
I have nevertheless to thank the Ljubljana
School, especially this blog post:
Verifying Nand2Tetris Assembly
https://www.philipzucker.com/nand2tetris-chc/
Which raised my interest in Hack. Meanwhile
I could produce this toy eample:
"We try to find 0xCAFFEE in enumerating 4
6-bit digits and the baseline is Dogelog
Player VM in a browser. The CPU backend
with 64 logical threads is already 20
times faster, partly due to its 32-bit
specialization. The GPU backend with
4096 logical threads boosts a further
factor of 7 times."

Hi,
Thats why open source slowly becomes a failure.
Because it is full of nickname shape shifters,
that hide behind anonymity. SWI-Prolog is no
exception. A bunch of anonymous crack heads.
Its not some Script Kiddies. They are basically
mafia hackers. And if you have some high CPU
process that doesn't automatically go away,
you possibly got a backdoor via an opensource project.
Sovereign Tech Fund (STF) will not help, since
they will shy away from loosing their anonymity.
And after all the mafia hackers are also well
endowed, have their own funding.

Hi, Ok the idea is trivial. Vibecoding is pair programming, with an AI counterpart. But what is Vibesniffing? Ok, now we finally hit the critique expert system domain. First study this: Mondrian Code Review On The Web Google Tech Talks - Guido van Rossum November 30, 2006 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMql3Di4Kgc Vibesniffing would be with an AI counterpart. Like AI Gerrit etc.. Doesn’t look like LiquidHaskell has made it an imprint here? ChatGPT thinks since LiquidHaskell is not made for "how code feels". I strongly oppose to this view. Code review could be inherently fuzzy, since most software evolves through: - Imperfect requirements - Imperfect code - Iterative refinement - Etc.. etc..

Hi,
Now this is an interesting find. It seems
not only the Verse Calculus by Peyton Jones
hit a wall with existential quantifier ∃.
Especially the type free case. Its like in
Rossy Boys Russell thing, people are not
anymore trained to think about "individuals",
the are more bothered by "bags", because this
is what the Antinomies of the formal revolution
tought us. But the formal revolution has also
some nice easter eggs, like Fefermans OST
("Operational Set Theory"), an early form of
Predicte Abstraction. With each formula A is
associated a term t_A such that:
∀x[A(x) <=> t_A(x) = tt]
https://math.stanford.edu/~feferman/papers/OperationalST-I.pdf
The nice thing about the t_A, its a term,
possibly a open or closed term, depending
on whether there are parameters, and thats
what I am now doing for Arrow Functions, when
the Prolog systems compiles 0rReference(P1,..,Pk),
its basically a term, an individual, that
later gets called by call/n, which makes the
translation for individual to proposition.
Bye
P.S.: But somehow Feferman shyed away from
definition the unbounded existential quantifier
as a projection, there is a easy geometric
intution, and every SQL database can do it.
Instead he falls back to some Hilber Epsilon
analogue such as:
Given A(x) = ∃yB(x, y) and t_B for B(x, y);
then we can take t_A = λx.t_Bx(C(λyt_Bxy)),
using the general choice operator C.

Funny!

Hi,
I really wonder what happened with:

Did the Extended WAM have Arrow Functions?
What does OpenAIs GPT Builder do?

Hi, Since LiquidHaskell, VerseCalculus, etc.. have the tasted of reinventing the wheel, and still gloriously failing, I will start a series of Pioneers of Program Formalization, and begin with Cliff B. Jones (born 1 June 1944) is a British computer scientist. This piece looks a little archaic, but is full of funny examples: 4.1.2 Examples Basic statements: a := p+q goto Naples START:CONTINUE:W := 7.993 A formal Definition of Algol 60 August 1972 - Cliff B. Jones et al. http://homepages.cs.ncl.ac.uk/cliff.jones/publications/Other-TRs/TR12.105.pdf This post is especially a donation to Ross Finlayson, who still is seeking consistent foundationalism, as if Russell had written the Letter to Frege, just yesterday, while a computer program might simply goto Naples.
