to_urcite_ty_kokosThe code was written for a specific environment and now we are running it in a totally different environment, so what do you expectâŠ
Besides, the goal of the code is basically to keep the swarm alive, it doesnât really do anything about the health of individual nodes

this post gives me the same impression as what @[email protected] mentioned about netcode the other day: some just straight-up :bigthonk: applied with a handful of bits of actual clue, and threading the needle between platformer jump-pads A through Z hoping you get there with a safe landing all the way
I was going to say I didnât even check on this personâs profile (simply the e/lambda seemed sketchy), but then I did and ugh I have made mistakes
blakestaceyFound here:
This is the secret. George opened the debate by acknowledging Yudâs intellectual gigantism, comparing him to Sartre and Neechay (have not heard of this one before). âIâm sitting in front of an intellectual giant nowâ Game recognize game.
And here, bringing the Alabama-school-board energy:
Evolution is observable, we know species change. Evolution by natural selection is marginally observable. We can run experiments in test tubes with bacteria or whatever. Yet we confidently extrapolate these extremely limited observations to the vastly bigger phenomenon đ€đ€
holy (pun not intended) actual fucking shitâŠ
ID is significantly more testable in practice than people admit
hot take but okay
ID is significantly more testable in practice than people admit. For instance, God could have encoded a monkey jpeg in the human DNA. This would be irrefutable evidence of his existence.
I⊠okay. Iâm surprised they didnât take it like half a turn further and go full âobviously since weâve derived BYAC from our own code and soon through AGI singularity weâre rebirthing godâ, but, okay.
has to be a jpeg though. pngs not allowed.
snooggumsAh yes, computer programming, the leader in biological sciences.
It was not on my bingo card today to witness someone attempt to ascribe legitimacy to intelligent design through application of computer programming concepts but here we are.

geriksonThe hell even is that lambda for? Effective function? Effective wavelength?
Must be about the effective L this guy is constantly taking.
selfah, Programmer Theory is just the dumbest shit I hear when engineering meetings lose focus, got it
also, words mean things, Pico Paco e/λ! science absolutely does fucking explain genetic recombination, CS knows how merge functions work, and we even know from cross-discipline information theory that these two things look mathematically nothing like each other!
also, and I almost missed it because this stupid asshole tried to squeeze it in right before an etc: where the fuck is DNA âexecutionâ doing anything resembling a unit test?
fuck me, the more I look back at Pico Paco e/λâs posts the more bullshit I spot. git merge (and all other methods of merging code under source control) relies on manual intervention in cases where merge algorithms break (which is incredibly common) and might still produce a non-functional result â itâd be awful at automatically merging DNA strings together! like fuck, the diffs that git merge handles are even line-based, which isnât a concept that DNA strings have
âanother copy that works perfectly with some fidelityâ what does this even mean, Pico Paco e/λ, if that is your real name?
and here I was gonna ask Pico Paco e/λ who he thinks is reading the comments in junk DNA, but these posts are fractally wrong
CzarrieAh yes, the same reason a caterpillar and a bison can produce offspring.
Itâs not magic, itâs just like writing code for a business that has been pushing to production for millions of years, with millions of little scripts always running, fixing little things, fixing the things that fix the things, making sure you donât have a tail, unless for some reason that works out, then sure, you should always have a tail.

Why you need scout mindset to change the world
This makes total sense to me. The program lines are the really important stuff, and baseball stats and vestigial organs are like REM in BASIC.
