A New Type of Computing

I’m waiting to get some patents through for a new type of computing paradigm we are building - but would like to share few learnings and insights anywayCan a computer compute any algorithm in this universe? Is that even true once we remember the universe has a finite memory and every irreversible bit flip turns into heat?I take the abstract claim of universality as a guiding ideal, then ask...

The σ8 tension remains unresolved in 2025, with CMB vs. lensing data differing by ~2-3σ. Tachyon fields show promise for DE/DM unification via negative pressure, but they struggle to lower σ8 enough without tweaking geometry. Here is a Consistent Tachyon + Λ + Background‑Safe μ(a) Pipeline - It resolves the σ₈ tension while keeping geometry intact, which ΛCDM+ν or early DE do not do as cleanly.

Ask HN: What if the universe itself runs on O(1) memory?

I keep circling back to two facts that seem incompatible until you squint just right.1- Turing says: any discrete procedure can be emulated on a tape that grows as needed. Irreversibility—and therefore information loss—is baked in.2- David Deutsch: the physical world is fundamentally reversible; no bit of history is ever truly deleted.Now to add in something I’ve only recently wrapped my head...

Proposing a new architecture for O(1) memory neural network training. ZeroActivation enables training of arbitrarily deep neural networks with constant memory usage, regardless of depth. Perfect for Apple Silicon (M1/M2) users and anyone looking to train impossibly deep models. The kicker is a new model I developed for Reverse SSA, more on that soon - Thanks

GPT 4.0 Explores Quantum Nonlocality and the Emergence of Spacetime

What do you think about this ChatGPT/GPT 4.0-generated paper?Title: Quantum Nonlocality and the Emergence of SpacetimeAbstract:In this paper, we explore a novel approach to understanding the quantum nonlocality phenomenon, which is rooted in the concepts of entanglement and the fundamental structure of spacetime. We propose a theoretical model that unveils the connection between quantum...

Re:CoDev – A GPT 4.0 Prompt for a Virtual Programmer on Thursday March 16, 2023 @01:33AM (#35178486)
Here are the available commands:

/project [summary] [task] [languages] [frameworks] - Output the list of files & folder structure for the project based on the project summary, task, languages, and frameworks.

/code [filename] - Output the code for the specified filename.

/tests [filename] - Output the tests for the specified filename.

/explain [filename] [function] - Explain the given function in the specified filename.

/run - Simulate the console of the program when it is running.

/revise [filename] [modification] - Rewrite the content of the specified filename, taking the modification into consideration.

/comment [filename] [function] - Add a comment to the specified function in the specified file.

/format [filename] - Format the code within the specified file properly.

Example usage:

/project "Weather App" "Display current weather" "JavaScript" "React, OpenWeatherMap API" /code "app.js" /tests "app.test.js" /explain "app.js" "fetchWeatherData" /run /revise "app.js" "Add error handling for API call" /comment "app.js" "fetchWeatherData" /format "app.js"
