@zzt if I were a problem I would simply halt

It might have been a joke.

@zzt remember that this is literally the solution the Ethereum Virtual Machine uses, your badly coded function runs out of money

@zzt The solution to the grandfather paradox is "just don't do that"

This is the community of utter twonks that the head of platform at Ubuntu asked "what do you want to see in Ubuntu $NEXT?"
The result was killing Unity, the end of the phones and tablets, returning to GNOME, and a legion of other epic mistakes.
Absolute complete suicidal fool, asking this maelstrom of toxic nerd masculinity for _guidance_.

@zzt I mean, I can easily solve the halting problem in any algorithm on any computer. Give me a hammer and I'll make sure it halts.

@zzt I am very happy I don't visit that site anymore, but sad I miss out on such computer science breakthroughs

@zzt this doesn't work unless one can pre-determine all states of a program and required runtime.
- If your program/task is simple enough for that, watchdog functionality is easy to support.
- If not (which is the case with anything not hard-realtime capable!) then that doesn't succeed…
Also HackerNews/Ycombinator is just gsrbage…

@davidgerard @zzt Eeyupp, also with #Solana.
- One can literally burn through tons of shitcoins just because one's validator isn't able to saturate it's 10G-NIC and destroy it's NVMe's with IOPS at the same time.
- And no, I'm not joking: #CryptoBros are still a problem, they judt habe less $$$$$$$$ than the #AIbros!

"I will respond to my inability to decide something by changing the rules, deciding a different thing, pretending that I've decided the original thing, and rallying a bunch of people to pretend with me" sums up a lot of modern dysfunction, seems to me.

@zzt oh dear, I literally spent the first 15s after reading this wondering « but what if the while never finishes - you never get to the terminate ». Which in a funny way is exactly the problem.
