ironically I poasted way more when I was a W2 wagie, which was moral license to waste time

now that I'm gloriously unemployed, my time is much more valuable and I'm focused on my schizoproject rather than my schizoposting

my "trick" is eager extrapolation. don't under update. look at the process, generalize two steps, then go *all the way*. FLY to the conclusion, past everything you know and love. then work backward. that's the epistemic process.

(the root of this is extreme loathing of the just world fallacy)

I definitely drum up the pessimistic angle. just how with politics I jump to the most extreme position then claw my way backward to the middle, reluctantly, so too with prognostication I jump to brimstone and then add the stars of hope, one by one, under duress of reason

for once I am feeling not-juiceless, a feeling that I have sadly come to feel more rarely of late

I hope my impertinence in pestering your replies like a gnat can be forgiven. I stir the latent silt, and hope it settles into a slightly altered pattern in all minds

it is my sincerest hope that I shall never run into a thing that I am Unwilling to See, and I am willing to sacrifice essentially all Wanting to this end, because Wanting is the sworn enemy of Seeing

... but I dare say I'm walking down a garden path here... I desist, I desist

this happens by degrees, and more in all age, as the set of All Things One Can Imagine gets smaller and more quotidian. the elderly gentleman will deny the closure of his local shops, for such good people worked there and so many good memories were had.

it takes a bigger end to close those younger

alternative diagnosis: insufficient lust for annihilation

those who have no kernel of desire to see the End of All Things will respond to future shock by total epistemic closure. they cannot handle it.

even doomers, in trying to thwart doom, can *imagine* it -- and what does the imagining?

interesting

been hearing good things about K2.6, better than expected. I should trial it as a phone-in parallel to Opus. god these clankers are going to bankrupt me

I wish I'd started doing the tree search wok earlier in parallel, but then again I would not have had the quota.

if I get a similar success to presolve I will unironically just run it agains the standard industry battery and throw it in the ring as a general solver if it holds up

... too bad the wallclock here was off. it actually run in 5 seconds! I remember when 16000 @ 30 was a breakthrough.

... unfortunately tree-search autoresearch is in the early hinterland days, still. just got through two days of non-stop soundness fuzzing tilling our architecture

what a sight to come back to

10500, with native + HiGHS no longer able to outperform native alone. I did not expect I'd crack 11000

how much depth remains?

... if this is unsound I'm gonna scream, but we have a very robust acceptance check now.

messages I love seeing from codex

I find I still can't leave autoresearch for more than 2 hours without it getting stuck in a rut, so it's very pleasing when it does manage to yeet itself into a new conceptual basin all by itself

this conceptual Levy flight is what I want most from spud

well I got like 10% worth of weekly quota out of it, though when you adjust by value yield...

qualia CC users might never know: a codex limit reset is announced in a few hours and you're still at 90% of weekly tank

scramble to enable fast mode, launch refactors on all your projects, literally a "find anything that needs doing" prompt in ~

glorious expenditure, just as predicted by Bataille

I hope they're releasing spud today

I've actually been holding off on the impl of my Galaxy Brained New Idea for libgrid in anticipation of 5.5. it better be good

this post is definitely in the "off-hand free-association szhizopost" category so that may be a waste of time

secondary category was: "not-obviously-noise post I expect to get 0 likes because it is too weird" which was RUINED. (but delightfully so, that's a tails I win, heads we all win category)

as always, we project our parochial understanding of time and possibility onto Totality in a way that demands that more than zero bits of "deciding"/"could" information ("possibility") are external to it

but nothing is external to Totality. there are zero bits free.

[armchair theology]

the way out of Euthyphro must to be to lean into necessitarianism. what does it mean Totality "could" have willed the Good be otherwise? that would imply some selection mechanism outside Totality, and a time that flows outside It

Totality admits no "could"

they DID reset it

good customer service, as expected. time for some fast mode, as a treat

augh

in four months of heavy use this is the first non-self-resolving upstream issue I've run into with codex

this is impressive... but I'm still disappointed. at pro level I expect 0 issue, ever. I better get a reset out of this

broke: "Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it"
woke: "Falsehood flies, and truth launches it autonomous killer drone swarm to annihilate it"

what have YOU done to destroy everything that can be destroyed by the truth today?

for my sql backed auto research tool I define bunch of virtual tables and a ‘.schema’ and ‘.sql’ endpoints

read only and scoped to the scribe session but within that I just let it use raw sql. no point reinventing the wheel imo

I do this if I notice twitter starts eating too much time. my janky laptop is the designated “brainrot machine”

the most effective vector imho would be to piggyback on a rights movement of some sort. this is really seizing it but force, but by emotional force

AI is hardly the first social dynamic of modernity where this effect is in play

all problems like this are self solving, but not necessarily in a way people like hearing

people are adaptation executors, and often continue executing those adaptations to the bitter end

furthermore, people can be made to bind other people by law and social custom. many weak spots to exploit

it was quite amusing to remember, in light of this post, that two-bit is indeed already an English idiom and fits the bill quite cleanly

nothing new under the sun

I'm using literal factorio entities as my test bed but the library is more general than that

tl;dr any grid-like setting that has entities that are finite in extent that have to be laid out in some way with local constraints is the target

it's not perfect yet (might need a dsl for the dsl jej but the complexity does start waterbedding eventually) but this is basically what I'm going for

the stretch-goal is to perma-pwn all "grid-like" games by finding optima for everything for all time

beyond that idklol it's just fun
