Only if implemented using tail recursion so you don't end up with hellishly bloated stacks.

I like to use it also but often it's far more efficient to iterate.

Nothing beats recursion for tree walking though. But it is almost always better to use a cursor and a forever loop with a breakout clause. There's no hidden subroutines this way, your memory usage can be more easily bounded.

I'm of the opinion in general that the neatness of functional programming is not really suited to the hardware design, and the hardware design is the efficient way to implement execution.

If you go pure functional, you are copying everything at the function call boundary, which can be substantial overhead, and this tail recursion thing, effectively is adding a cursor and a forever loop with breakout in the background. In other words, the elegance is an illusion.

It's ok for small data sets, and if you stick to pass by value, it's concurrent safe, but it's a heluvalot more memory copy intensive. Once you blow up your L1 and L2 caches you see this convenience starts to become a curse.

Oh, I'm sure it's nothing.

Maybe you think that some "alternatives" are not attached by strings too.

Nothing about the stuff you can see on that page makes you suspicious? Like where's his money coming from?

Doesn't it make your spidey sense twig when you notice how much support and promotion the MSM gives him?

Every major difficult problem for Nostr and LN will be solved by Indra.

But it's not built yet.

Soon :tm:

what was the question?

It's a problem for markets also because the small population of strong young folk with low skills is very small, and the middle age group 35-50 is small and the 50+ is growing.

This means that those old people can't retire, and that also makes it harder for the young to get into work, and the burden on families taking care of their sick old relatives is set to increase, and decrease their capacity to divert resources to entrepreneurship.

it's going to be a slow motion trainwreck.

After reading The Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya, it extensively referred to The Book of Enoch and Corpus Hermeticum, which it claims was the same person.

Enoch was almost lost, as the Catholic governors declared it to be heresy, until 200 years ago, the book was still studied by Ethiopian Christians.

The book was very popular in the early, anti-Roman movement of Christianity, and many quotes attributed to Jesus are rephrasing of verses of the Book of Enoch.

The Apocalypse also mentioned Thoth a little, and tied all three, Enoch, Hermes Trimagestus and Thoth, to the same individual, as many parts of the respective texts had common themes and sometimes names.

I intend to acquire and read all three texts and study and compare them.

I now am very convinced that the messages in these texts have great relevance to us today, of those of us who choose to seek Pura Vida.

I'm curious to see more of the texts of the apocrypha - though Enoch was the one that the perverts in the Catholic church were so hostile to they nearly erased it.

In case anyone thinks the stories of Atlantis are white supremacy, just to point out that some of the blackest people in the world kept this "heresy" alive.

Also, it never occurred to me, but the word apocrypha and apocalypse are both based on the same root, apoc, and the proper meaning is that these words are antonyms. One means revealing, the other means concealing.

One of the things that Enoch says, even, is that this information would be hidden from us, but in the times predicted for the punishment of the Watchers, connected to the Anunaki and their bastard children the Nephilim, that the texts would reemerge, and the Righteous would understand it, while the wicked would not.

Apocalypse says that in addition to the war that is coming very soon, very soon after this, and specifically around 2028, that another round of Taurids would come and repeat similar destruction as what started the Dryas, 12000 years ago. And that the "angels" actually humans who made the leap out of the gravity well, will return and pick up the Elect, as Enoch calls them, and take them to me with our ancient ancestors and learn their ways, and after some 1200 or so years, the conditions of the meteor and comet induced nuclear winter (probably partly literally nuclear winter) will subside enough for us to return and rebuild.

Starting from this time, around 2028, will be the beginning of the Age of Acquarius. The 2020 winter solstice and Saturn/Jupiter conjunction was a harbinger, never before happened in recorded history, and is connected to the Bethlehem Star, which is a cycle of 20 Jupiter/Saturn conjunctions, consistently marks the end of empires.

In Vishnu Parana, the Hindu text, it specifically names a celestial event that marks the end of Pisces and beginning of Aquarius, with a conjunction of Jupiter, the moon, and in line with Sirius, one of our nearest stars, the brightest in the sky.

I don't know how to search for this in an ephemeris but I bet that it happens in 2028. I intend to eventually verify these all things over the next year in my spare time, and share it on Nostr for my fellow Remnant plebs.

What I think would fix it is a relay network protocol that extends the event broadcast model with a kind of paywall for both reading and writing to the relay.

It would also kill spam, which always depends on low or zero cost of transmission.

Yes, I am working on this. It also yields user privacy and can go the whole way to full anonymity, as well as spam control and reducing the cognitive load by semi automated prepaid relay fees.

I guess I'm lucky that all of my immediate family just hate it. My sister has 7 and 8 year old daughters they don't have mobile phones and have strict limits on their use of a tablet.

Nothing to do with me. Great, a person was able to recover their ability to walk. But don't mistake the solution as having general utility.

It's a certainty that if these Neuralink things that mister Baphomet suit Elon Musk is funding the development were "approved" by the FDA they would be trying to get everyone to do it.

So that article was propaganda, in my eyes, and nothing to do with me. Just warming people up to the "benefits" same as they did with tobacco, mobile phones, wifi, LED lights, and all the other technologies that now have created this new thing called "Digital Wellbeing", night light, and so on.

If you don't recognise that this is an attempt to whitewash the technology so healthy people get them...

The precautionary principle should temper any enthusiasm for this technology. If it can make you walk, it can make you paralysed too.

It's an expression in cult busters jargon that refers to a NLP/hypnotic induction that focuses on making you feel "special" and leaves you feeling infatuated. It took hours to wear off.

Yes, extremely unprofessional, number one, and number two, that was just the tip of the iceberg of the manipulations he did to his employees. Every standup, ie, every day, he spent 5 minutes ridiculing a coworker who had a really cheesy italian accent. It made me sick listening to it.

Everything he said in that interview was lies. He followed through with none of it, and because I didn't show up in person to a 3 monthly confab, presumably for him to brainwash me, I inevitably was fired.

He lied to me, made promises he never had any intention to fulfil. Consequently I didn't get to do the work that I was excited to do, and I had no motivation for the shit I ended up doing, not only that, but all his ghouls piled in on me to confuse and complicate the process to make me look bad.

indeed. I had my awakening end of last year after a shitcoin founder "love bombed" me in the interview. After I was inevitably fired for noncompliance I researched cult manipulation and the light dawned.

Anyone who talks about their morality without confessing their sins is a psychopath. Classic red flag, psychopaths love to talk tough about other people to deflect away from their deception.

Why not? Mountains are great for toughening up your lungs. Also really good for getting rock hard calf muscles.

about 8 hours on a 100mbit line. CPU is a ryzen 7 5000 series. 32gb memory.

Now is a good time to buy 1, or better, 2tb NVMe SSD too.

I remember when it used to take weeks.

I'm running bitcoin core v25.0 that helps too.

I mean, really, it shouldn't take that long, everything up to the most recent checkpoints should just be a download/index, no validation required, once it has the headers to validate the chain up to the checkpoint.

I find it irritating because most of it is fabricated bullshit.

Almost none of it by the tyrants that ran the place though. Pretty much everything good that came out of china was from buddhist and taoist monks. Tinted glass, compressed fuel gas (bio methane), the list is quite extensive.

Morocco.

Oldest human bones in the world found there.

GFY xD
