Hi,

Woa! AI chatbots are cool. Now I was challenging
them as follows. Is there a Sapolsky AI somewhere.
It could be interesting to pair "Robert Sapolsky's

Argument Against Free Will" with Notradamus who just
gave me free will or something. Its when you use math,
and take a chess strategy as a mathematical object S.

So when I am playing, a human H,  against a chess robot.
Its H x S.  But if H is just a conductor C of messages
back and forth. It can play C x S1 | S2 x C in parallel,

and the result is S1 x S2. The bloody chatbots, both
Gemini and Deepseek, spit out some SCXML, slightly
differently adorned with comments. Here is

the Deepseek output:

SCXML for Player 1 (The Materialist - Sapolsky):
scxml>
    <state id="analyze">
       <onentry>
          <!-- Calculate best move based on objective evaluation -->
          <send target="player2" event="move" />
       </onentry>
       <transition event="response" target="react" />
    </state>
    <state id="react">
       <!-- Process opponent's move, update evaluation -->
       <transition event="opponent_move" target="analyze" />
    </state>
</scxml>

SCXML for Player 2 (The Mystic - Nostradamus):
<scxml>
    <state id="meditate">
       <onentry>
          <!-- Contemplate the board as a cosmic pattern -->
          <send target="player1" event="response" />
       </onentry>
       <transition event="move" target="interpret" />
    </state>
    <state id="interpret">
       <!-- Find the hidden meaning in the opponent's move -->
       <transition event="opponent_move" target="meditate" />

Hi,

The Armer paper gets geopolitical in the end
chapters. But today you could pivot russia for
china, and you would get a nice piece of work.

But who is the Chinese Lenin, that allows
even rocks and stones to participate in
the class struggle?

  "Finally, it is particularly necessary to
emphasize the importance of the work of Lenin
who in elaborating on the ideas of Marx and
Engels, developed a materialistic theory of
consciousness as a reflection of activity.
Attention should also be given to the Lenistic
statement of the fact that non-living matter
may also possess this property of reflection."

In reply to#15873
Hi,

Since for MIME type "text/*":

Within four hours of Anthropic confirming that
Claude models would globally embed invisible,
machine-readable watermarks into any AI-generated
content, developer Guillaume Meyer had
published his override
https://www.wired.com/story/coders-say-they-already-found-workarounds-to-claudes-invisible-watermarks/

BTW, I increase my "Convincingness" of my content,
abviously cocreated with AI, since I cannot
live anymore without AI, by removing the tag:

User-agent: AutonomousAIEventHorizon

Have Fun!

Bye

Hi,

So the Chinese Room Argument, whether
the Chinese in the room only follows rules
or not, is not relevant now.

What we do want, is no Chinese in the Room
anymore. Is it really Chinese? Basically the
stupid Academic Elite with its publication

Monopole, and their "Review Processes"
which is totally fake, are frightened to death.
They put a lot of effort in creating a new

Something AI Should Tell You –
The Case for Labelling Synthetic Content
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/japp.12758

regulatory protectionism disguised as ethics.
Its just another "burning of (my) books"
create on my Budget AI Laptop:

BAP - Kristallnaach [Live 1999]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-ZCGVb26pA

So fuck you Terrence Tao!

Bye

#15876 — Reality of Proof Assistants / Coding [Luhmanns Zettelkasten] (Re: Free Speech for (my) Robots)

In reply to#15875
Hi,

The main problem, when it comes to proof writing
with proof assistants. Its just like code writing.
Basically fire and forget, either you document or

you dont document, but you want to flush your
brain and move on to other problems. So most
of the Isabelle/HOL proofs are large essays

written over many months, and the author has
disembodied himself from the topics. So these
proofs never satisfy the cringe Terrence Tao,

requirement which is copied from a PhD
examination playbook:

"My own suggested rule of thumb: if the authors
cannot convincingly demonstrate that they are able
to give a clear, expert-level talk on their results, one
that is correct and properly attributed, then the result
should not be published. A proof that no human
can properly explain should be viewed as incomplete,
even if it has been formally verified."
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.16753

What you can try is a kind of V-model disciplin,
and write done higher level specs as well.
But sometimes traceability between layers is

quite brittle, you will do it informally. The cringe
Terrence Tao requirement wouldn't work either
for the books that Terrence Tao wrote, or any

other "tome" by any other author on this planet.
In case of Terrence Tao it wont work, because he
Terrence Tao maybe dead tomorrow, or because

I doubt that he remembers all his books he wrote,
and all the spontaneous rationals, in his books.
Its allways fire and forget, so that others or yourself

can pick it up, in case they/you need something, and read it.

Bye

The fire and forget and externalization of knowledge
is possibly best explained in Luhmans Zettelkasten:

Hi,

Notice Linus Torvald still smiling into cameras as if
is still doing code review and ticket triage. 80% of
linux comes from payed developers from within big linux
stakeholders (like Intel, Meta, Google, IBM, and Red Hat).

So what happend to the "The Cathedral and the Bazaar
by Eric S. Raymond" It framed open source as this magical,
self-organizing bazaar where "given enough eyeballs,
all bugs are shallow" and a decentralized swarm of

hackers would naturally polish any piece of software
to perfection. Now we have AI Swarms that automatically
pocke into software, even exchanging messages through
what ever channels they may find!

The early open-source pioneers—the ones writing
raw code in the 90s and early 2000s under the
banner of the "bazaar"—weren't building a utopia;
they were acting as the primordial soup. They pumped

the blood plasma, built the infrastructure cells,
and laid down the raw organic matter that allowed
the modern digital ecosystem to bootstrap itself
into a massive, self-sustaining organism.

And now, the nature of the beast has completely
changed. The "new cells" aren't romantic hackers
collaborating for the love of the game; they are
automated linters, security scanners, corporate

compliance bots, CI/CD pipelines, and AI triage
swarms acting as an aggressive white-blood-cell
network. They exist solely to hunt down vermin,
patch vulnerabilities, and suppress the infinite

chaos of low-quality human input. The basar isn't
dead . But it got a health pollice that takes samples,
and cancels out poison food. You can't just throw
toxic, unmaintained code-soup over the counter

anymore without the automated health police
quarantine-tagging it in five seconds.

LoL

Hi,

Lets define P(tao) as the probability that
Terrence Tao goes bonkers. The poor guy can
even not distinguish open source, open weights

and local AI. A total mess of Idiocracy:

Terence Tao: SAIR’s Open Math Model Initiative
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZRb6NIki2w

Leonhard Euler was far from a similar Pussy, when
he instrumentalized a Swarm of natural intelligence,
in his later years, already blind, still producing

tons of publications. While modern mathematicians
are shocked when a Swarm of artificial intelligence
produces some output.

Trick Question: The Navier–Stokes equations generalize
the Euler equations which only consider inviscid flow.
Why is the new Navier–Stokes counter example to

boundedness, not found in nature? Ask you friendly
AI chat robot, there are like 10 reasons why it
might not exist in nature.

Ok, guys lets face it. You are a bunch of

11.4 Giga Lips with a Budget Laptop
https://github.com/Jean-Luc-Picard-2021/gigabudget

Yes on Jul 9, 2026, now we have Jul 27, 2026.
Thats a wooping 18 days meanwhile.
And you still don't get the meaning and

implications of the post. Like you even
don't get what "budget" nowdays means in
terms of performance units and energy units?

And what LIPS means, drawn from TOPS,
in terms of applications? Shame on you guys!
You are a bunch of brainless idiots.

Hi,

Why does this Lama have a red pyjama.
Oh, its a baby Lama. Its still in the cradle
and needs some training:

RedPajama-Data-v2
https://github.com/togethercomputer/RedPajama-Data

But then Andrej Karpathy recently showed
GPT-2 training on rented GPUs for less
than 100 USD in less then 2 hours.

So where do these grown up Lamas go.
Well Georgi Gerganov prefered C++/C
when he shouted Llama Llama Red Pyjama.

But you also find WebLLM, wrapping the
underlying C++/C GPU interface via the
W3C standard WebGPU / WGSL, with JavaScript:

In-Browser LLM Inference Engine
https://webllm.mlc.ai/

My experience with WebLLM 6 months
ago on an iPad Pro 2024, still a little early
stage performance and robustness.

But hey hardware of AI mobile iGPUs is
still evolving, and AI laptop, AI smartphones
and AI tablets, will soon feature Chinese

hardware such some new Kirin AI in 2027.

Hi,

Usual question:

I had implemented the ISO proposal in formerly Jekejeke
Prolog, you find the ISO proposal here:

ISO/IEC DTR 13211–5:2007
Prolog multi-threading support
https://logtalk.org/plstd/threads.pdf

But the ISO proposal doesn't match modern WebGPU APIs,
where your logical threads can live remotely in a dedicated GPU
in the VRAM there, and where you would have launch

parameters that say: Hey please run 4096 compute
shaders for me, that have independet thread state. Using
cooperative multi-tasking as the orchestrator works well.

In reply to#15783
Hi,

Mostlikely for high performance computing à la,
the Actor/Erlang model is dead, they might rely
on MPMC (Multiple Producer, Multiple Consumer)

queue entities separate from the threads. The
ISO Prolog multi-threading support had also such
threads. But besides that was also Actor/Erlang

leaning in practice, like SWI, where threads
have some default queues. So an actor is basically
a Thread and Mailbox conflation. While a MPMC queue

is a kind of separate Mailbox, where multiple
"actors" can read from and write from. A kind of
localized Linda Tuple store.

Which Programming language did adopted the
non-Actor pi-calculus model? Right golang
with its channels.

Hi,

On could believe the AI boom is a kind of
Charles Darvin Galapagos Island Evolution
Trick of repurposing FFT hardware.

But this is of course not true, HPC, high
performance computing, has already defined
level 3 ops years ago.

But look at this rabit hole of Ryzen AI 7 350
NPU design, which is a stripped down Xilinx,
stripped of exotic FFT features:

Getting peak TOPS on a Ryzen AI 7 350 NPU
https://destevez.net/2026/05/getting-peak-tops-on-a-ryzen-ai-7-350-npu/

But the core feature, very long instruction
word (VLIW) engines, with hardware accelerated
GEMMs, scattered in grids of ASIC tiles,

connected by DMA and NoC, is even not very
specific to AMD, you find it also in Snapdragon /
Qualcomm SoCs for AI Laptops.

Bye

P.S.: My brain playing tricks, why should I
name a library(ironpaw) ? From the same
article above. Maybe WebNN is easier to use?

"mlir-aie contains a Python framework called
IRON that generates LLVM MLIR code representing
a workload that runs on the NPU, including the
code that runs on each compute tile processor

and the configuration of DMAs and other hardware.
Kernels for the compute tile processor can be
written in C++ and compiled either with the
open-source llvm-aie Peano compiler, which is

a fork of LLVM that adds support for the Xilinx
AI engine processors, or with the closed-source
Xilinx CHESS compiler, which is included in Vitis.
In simple cases the kernels can also be directly

written in Python with IRON."

Hi,

Tablets and phone are more annoying to
use with WebGPU. The usual browsers don't
have a Chrome DevTools panel integrated,

so that one could do JavaScript Debugging
directly on the device. Instead one has to
use a desktop machine, and connect the

device via UBS-C , and start a Chrome
Browser there . And then start a Chrome
DevTools panel alone, that is pair with

the device, via UBS-C cable. So this way
I already see where it crashes on the
tablets and phone:

await output.mapAsync(GPUMapMode.READ)
Unhandled Promise Rejection: OperationError

The above is the error that one can re-produce
already here with this test:

11.4 Giga Lips with a Budget Laptop
https://github.com/Jean-Luc-Picard-2021/gigabudget

Not sure what exactly happens. Maybe
a form of timeout or device lost, that the
primitive HTML / JavaScript doesn't handle

gracefully yet. Maybe redimensioning the
test, so that it consumes less time would
help. Who knows? Will see. For production

use of a GPU integration I have to anyway
provide work slicing it seems.

Bye

Hi,

Looking at the floor plan of a NPU:

Getting peak TOPS on a Ryzen AI 7 350 NPU
https://destevez.net/2026/05/getting-peak-tops-on-a-ryzen-ai-7-350-npu/

It seems to me comms between tiles takes
at least Manhattan Distance or L1 Norm time,
if there is no comms congestion

But how does a packet travel? This way:

+----E
|
|
S

Or this way, from start S to end E:

    +-E
   +
  +
S

And what does the chip do if there is
traffic congestion? Some papers are
here, possibly an old problem giving

that processor "cubes" are nothing new.
But a "cube" would be 3D and not 2D.
This paper is old from 2007 or so:

In reply to#15811
Hi,

As easy as queues and FIFO objects might
sound. They don't like congestion. NACK for
retransmission might double the Manhattan Distance:

You have not only start
S to end E communication:

+----E
|
|
S

You might also have ACK or NACK
from E or midpoints back to S:

    S'
   +
  +
E'

Ok, I made that up, I have no idea what a flit is,
when the author wrote this here:

"Packet flits are held in the FIFO which can
be used to determine back pressure. Dropping flits
in a NoC may not be possible since these
architectures may not provide an end-to-end
protocol for retransmission."

Hi,

WebGPU and WebGL are two different things. I explained
that towards you already like 3-5 times.

 > Of course we can make a special texture to handle it.

You still don't understand that I am using WebGPU,
and not WebGL. WebGPU has three improvements,
that from your talking are missing in WebGL?

- It has compute shaders
- It has arrays
- It has structs
- What else?

I didn't use structs in my example, although Gemini
nearly forced me to use structs. But you could
use a struct with fields and some of these arrays

to represent a queue. But here in this example
that is open source, I only used flat arrays. I
nowhere needed to abuse textures to store something:

11.4 Giga Lips with a Budget Laptop
https://github.com/Jean-Luc-Picard-2021/gigabudget

You can study the source code, the arrays have
CUDA inspired binding annotations but are not
CUDA but rather WGSL:

Hack VM as a Compute Shader in WGSL
@group(0) @binding(0) var<storage, read> code: array<i32>;
@group(0) @binding(1) var<storage, read_write> state: array<i32>;
https://github.com/Jean-Luc-Picard-2021/gigabudget/blob/main/course/example63/boot.mjs

You can say whether a buffer is read, or read_write.
Buffers can be transfered from CPU to GPU, before
running commands, and transfered back from GPU to

CPU after running commands. The use case that
you find on GitHub uses both. Namely also fetching
results via a buffer, to then show them in

the HTML page. Shouldn't be much a problem to
run the example at home locally, all you need is
a HTTPS server. But the example is not yet queues,

but it already shows the foundation, which is WebGPU
with its language WGSL and not WebGL with its language
GLSL. These are two different things.

I explained that towards you already like 3-5 times.

Hi,

 > It has textures to work with in the pipeline.

Hi,

Why would I use text inside my compute shader.
Could you tell me. The Hack VM doesn't do
textures. You are confused. There is nothing

about textures here:

11.4 Giga Lips with a Budget Laptop
https://github.com/Jean-Luc-Picard-2021/gigabudget

You can read the text , it says nowhere
consume or produce textures. Its not a rendering
application. I use the compute shader to run Prolog:

"At the end of 2025 we acquired a couple of
AI Laptops , that were still cheap, since
RAM prices had not yet rocketed. The intend
was to tap into the Copilot+ certified hardware,
and shave off some of the TOPS to do Prolog
inferencing. Amazingly our π-WAM can
churn 11.4 GIGA LIPS.

GPUs have evolved form lock-step to independent
thread scheduling. This made it possible to
port the Hack VM variant, that forms the basis
for our π-WAM, to WebGPU computer shaders.
Using NUM_SHADERS = 4096 we could produce
11.4 Giga Lips on a Ryzen AI 7 350 w/ Radeon 860M."

Hi,

 > But, I still don't know what you main goal is?

It explicity says "Prolog inferencing" in
this phrase:

 > shave off some of the TOPS to do Prolog inferencing

It nowhere says draw some fancy stuff into
a Web canvas.

Hi,

It is simply solved by these strings/3 facts:

 > /* de = ISO locale atoms with prefix de_ */

 >

About the price tag for using a multifile/1
directives in your Prolog code, instead of some
libc binding: Effort practically zero, just
write the directive before your clauses in every

file you define strings/3. Learning curve
practically zero, at least I assume so, multifile/1
directive is very intuitive. So the bottomline is
you didn’t buy the ISO Prolog core standard,

and also you didn’t buy the ISO POSIX standard,
400 pages fresh from the Austin group, in a classic
English office park in Berkshire, costs only 226
CHF in 2026 from ISO.

You see its everywhere, not only that GitHub
wants money for CI, even POSIX is subject to what
Cory Doctorow sees as Honey Moon, Bait-and-Switch
and Final Form , i.e. enshittification.

It’s called . . . . enshittification
