The code was written for a specific environment and now we are running it in a totally different environment, so what do you expect…

Besides, the goal of the code is basically to keep the swarm alive, it doesn’t really do anything about the health of individual nodes

this post gives me the same impression as what @bitofhope@awful.systems 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 didn’t even check on this person’s profile (simply the e/lambda seemed sketchy), but then I did and ugh I have made mistakes

Found here:

This is the secret. George opened the debate by acknowledging Yud’s intellectual gigantism, comparing him to Sartre and Neechay (have not heard of this one before). “I’m sitting in front of an intellectual giant now” 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 🤔🤔

holy (pun not intended) actual fucking shit…

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. I’m surprised they didn’t take it like half a turn further and go full “obviously since we’ve derived BYAC from our own code and soon through AGI singularity we’re rebirthing god”, but, okay.

has to be a jpeg though. pngs not allowed.

If it were an NFT that would be proof that we’d been designed by an evil demiurge.

Ah 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.

my brain just came up with the shitpost of “intelligent design ~= seeded random” and now you get to suffer from it too

It’s an old creationist ploy. DNA is like a computer program, which implies there must have been a programmer, yadda yadda, just asking questions, wharblgarbl, brave scientists are speaking up and challenging the Darwinist regime.

A lot of things in programming are in fact evidence of natural selection rather than intelligent design.

Calling your own mewling drivel “Programmer Theory” is an A+ dipshit move.
