    Hi,

    Hyperspectral measurements for inter-calibration,
    reached a significant milestone this summer.

    The naval observatory only uses fidget spinners
    to measure time, so forget Colorado.

    Yeah, I know, most "professional physicists" only have one of those
    on their little note-card with which they passed graduate school.

    Hi,

    The nature of time has puzzled people -- from the ancient
    Greeks to the present day -- Especially the nosomatic
    perception of time is a hot topic now.

    How does time evolve inside a GPU with multiple units
    or a CPU with multiple cores. GPUs even having multiple
    logical threads inside a group.

    Forget the von Neumann model of computing. You need
    a total new thinking of shared memory and more
    message passing, and have a grip of vector and

    matrix tiling of problems. -C-WAM already deploys
    logic tiling in its Seven Eleven demonstrator. So forget
    everything you have learned in your BASIC computer

    course for your Sputnik Commodore C64 with 8088.

    Hi,

    A nosomatic AI chirurgeon is a halfling student
    of sickness, and a master of the ebb and flow of
    the energies of life and death of data packets.

    He is a air bender, water bender and earth bender
    in one person, using OpenVINO to juggle with
    CPU, GPU and NPU.

    Last but not least he can freely switch between
    symbolic and neural representation of knowledge
    forms, there is no abyss for him.

    But here you are to explain it all. It's easy for you because with your Creationist fantasies the Earth is only 6,000 years old. It's the height
    of foolishness, but you guys profess it because I guess it's not a
    simple matter to demonstrate the geological core that clearly indicates billions of years. You can hand wave that away and point at the Ming
    Dynasty as the first men walking the Earth. How simple time is for you. Simple, but entirely mistaken and false.

    Hi

    BTW, NVIDIA had a GPU card named Einstein and
    an Einstein project. I guess these earth
    and star gazers would like to number crunch

    images with Q8.24 RGB values. Now Einstein
    name was adopted for another GPU Project:

    We had a number of tutorials on CarpetX
    and science codes based on CarpetX, the new,
    GPU-enabled version of the Einstein Toolkit.
    https://einsteintoolkit.org/

    The results show excellent agreement with
    the well-established LazEv code. Scaling
    tests on CPU (Frontera) and GPU (Vista)
    clusters reveal significant performance

    gains, with the new implementation achieving
    improved speed and scalability compared
    to the Carpet-based version.
    GPU-accelerated Subcycling Time
    Integration with the Einstein Toolkit

    GPUs were traditionally used by earth and

    speed up the scanning of large areas,

    also in 4 dimensions, i.e. space and time.

    Have Fun!

    Hi,

    "Space-based data centers or orbital AI
    infrastructure are proposed concepts to
    build AI data centers in the sun-synchronous
    orbit or other orbits using space-
    based solar power.

    Space-based edge computing has historical
    roots in military architectures designed
    to bypass the latency of ground-based
    targeting networks."
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-based_data_center

    Just to give you an idea. Translated to
    the Einstein pathfinders. If the sensors
    are in space, why not do the bulk processing

    already in space?

    That addled nincompoop, it cut the original context.
    That's misrepresentation for you: making idiots worse.



    Perhaps one of the best references for Einstein's theory of relativity
    is Einstein's "Out of My Later Years", though it's a bit biographical in
    the beginning and end, the middle sees laid out very specifically
    what Einstein says is "relativity theory" ("a simple negative
    stipulation").

    The space contraction comes first from FitzGerald, decades before
    Lorentz, and various accounts of Lorentzians, any account of which
    models "relativity theory", make for real space contraction, in GR,
    then Einstein for example separates the "spatial" and "spacial" of
    "GR" and "SR".

    Einstein also takes pains to clarify that "SR is local", then as with
    regards to a clock hypothesis _and_ a universal clock hypothesis,
    you can read Einstein explaining why it's so.


    Here there are quite a variety of Lorentzians, about things like
    Levi-Civita's "the indefiniteness of ds^2".

    The plain pure SR-ians are partial, incomplete, and merely local.



    Much like "meeting the Lorentzian" makes for a model of
    relativity theory, "meeting the Schreodingerian" makes
    for models of quantum mechanics.

    So, a "doubly-objective relativity theory" may have
    both relativity of motion and aside relativity of
    space, so that once again there's an aether theory
    in it, for example about how in "Sidelights on Relativity",
    that Einstein makes accords for an aether in the theory.

    Similarly for Born's infinite self-energy and Feynman's
    renormalizibility of theories, after Reichenbach about
    "Schroedingerians", the quantum mechanics can be a
    continuous, deterministic quantum mechanics.

    Then a "clock hypothesis" which is usually for anyone
    a "universal clock hypothesis" and not the apologet-a-lit's "not-a-clock-hypothesis-hypothesis" is a usual idea, that
    in general relativity usually keeps the geodesy (or other
    accounts of the world-lines) current everywhere constantly,
    or establishes all matters of time-dependence and time-ordering
    in any account of quantum theory.


    A) The geodesy's instantaneously evaluated everywhere over everywhere
    all the time.

    B) The time-ordering and time-dependence defines the action of QM.





    By the time orthogonality, unitarity, _and_ complementarity get
    satisfied, a universal "time" is always about the most moderating
    influence.


    About the charge-parity-time symmetries, charge symmetry and
    parity symmetry have been broken, yet time symmetry has _never_
    been falsified: making of itself that as a large overall experiment its
    data supporting a "universal clock hypothesis".

    Lagrangians are universally parameterized by _time_,
    and, force the usual account as a vector is
    always itself a function of _time_. (Instead of a tensor, ....)


    Then, Einstein could be read as "you know, sometimes people read
    too much into what I say, ...", then also "well, you know, Einstein's relativity theory that's Newtonian in the limit is very good at that,
    not saying much, actually I have a bit of a problem with the Newtonian
    and by that I mean the Galilean, so, here's a reasoning why the space-contraction if it would be would vary for space-contraction-linear
    and space-contraction-rotational, and about classical mechanics
    itself before we get to the Mach-ian and a total field theory since
    there's always an extra-local aspect to any field theory, which physics is".





    Now I notice that some recent literature has been absconding with
    the term "time-dependence" after "time-ordering", this is that
    various accounts of causality and quantum causality which Reichenbach
    says that Schroedingerians (as systems) as they would be have only
    one job about "quantum causality", that in the recent literature
    there are accounts of

    A) "clock hypothesis" that's _not_ a clock hypothesis
    B) "time-dependence" that's _not_ time-dependence

    and other usual accounts since "negative time" (that's since
    time-symmetry has never been falsified, has always been falsified,
    as about "there are no closed finite time-like curves"),
    that those are considered incompatible with the rest of
    the literature.

    So, those modern accounts worming around matters of definition
    are as of a Babel-style babble their abuses of language.


    Then about notions like "A-Theory" and "B-Theory" of time, ...,
    here there's a universal clock hypothesis and clocks either
    slow or meet, so there's never "negative time", and then
    that in a convolutive sort of framework, for complementarity,
    the stacks of derivation are re-visitable. (Then here there's
    that "The A-Theory" as an axiomless then formal system with principles
    of the Inverse and Thorough Reason" is so named a decade or more
    before these other "A-Theory" accounts, and these days is
    further expounded upon as "thea-theory", then with quite a
    thorough attachment to both the idealistic and analytical traditions,
    for an overall account of reason.)



    Most people understand "relativity theory" naturally
    as having their own account of having a perspective among perspectives,
    and theorizing things as from more than one perspective,
    that's mostly all there is to it, then for the more formally
    specified bits about "relativity of motion" making for "relativity of
    space", a "doubly-objective" relativity theory, then that this gets into natural definitions of space-frames and frame-spaces or Rahme-Raumen and Raume-Rahmen, then that the L-principle is a usual enough thing, most
    people with any sense in their head who aren't entirely self-ish
    "understand" "relativity theory".

    Then they also usually understand "absolutes" first, also.





    When thinking about "theory", I like the idea of having just one theory.

    I think you may also, though if you're a nominalist fictionalist who's
    a fragmented pluralist and absent ideals of regularities and rulialities
    their repleteness in truth and causality for infinity and continuity, it
    may be difficult.

    That said the idea that all the accounts amount makes for a usual
    sort of "one-world" hypothesis and a "universal clock hypothesis",
    usually enough according to a "cosmological principle" that the
    laws of nature are the same everywhere, even if the finite creatures
    that usual thinking and feeling beings are have limits.

    Thusly for paradox-free reason and constancy in definition for
    a constant, consistent, complete, concrete theory, it's a usual
    notion that students and researchers in "Foundations" find appealing.

    And compelling, ....





    Also there's that relativity theory and quantum mechanics disagree
    with each other "120 orders of decimal magnitude", also there's
    that neither has gravity in the theory, and neither has "rest" itself,
    though of course there's a usual notion of "rest frame" and "particle"
    and as about "the geodesy" and "the weakest force".


    So, a reasonable sort of theory would be putting gravity into the
    theories as alike a fall-gravity for the geodesy (or orbifold) for
    relativity theories so that energy conservation isn't constantly
    violated everywhere, and fall-gravity for the strong nuclear force
    for quantum mechanics so that energy conservation isn't constantly
    violated everywhere.


    fall-gravity




    That's why there are all the other systems of units.




    What about that _length_ and _distance_ have different units,
    about the _metric_ and _norm_, about _distance_ being _length_
    in _time_, that time (its elapsed duration) could be defined
    according to space-contraction instead of the other way around?


    According to "references", ....


    Otherwise those are going to vary under gravity, under acceleration,
    and so on.


    While there's often mentioned the GPS reference frequency,
    not so much the GPS station operator's and station-keeping guide,
    with that receivers >> stations.

    So, another way to identify a metrology of time is "quasars"
    instead of "hyper-fine transitions of the cesium atom,
    in a museum in France".




    It follows from the functional-freedom bit and various other
    reasonings (that relativity theory and quantum theory falsify
    each other).

    If "creationists" is to mean "Big-Bang cosmologists with their
    inflationary cosmology and expanding universe", that's the cosmology
    they have, yet, there are others.


    Of course everybody knows that the Earth's ephemeris is according
    to "parameterized post-Newtonian", and that the definitions of the
    quantum mechanics these days include gamma or quadru/multi-pole moments.



    The NIST Particle Data Group CODATA releases the measured values
    of fundamental physical constants every few years, the small ones
    get not only more precise, also _smaller_, helping also inform that
    the "running constants" of physics get involved.

    So, physics is according to NIST CODATA, with SI: Systeme
    Internationale, a reduced second, i.e. not first and quite reduced.


    Then most people are also unawares how things like Boltzmann and
    Planck constants as physical constants are much mathematical constants
    that reflect their placement in terms for algebraic reductions again,
    for example the roots of x^2 +-x +-1 like the molar gas constant in
    the Boltzmann constant, then as with regards to Planck constant about
    what mathematical reductionism is ongoing in the Planckian, why
    those aren't exactly "physical" constants.


    Anyways that "time" can be defined by "an average field of quasar
    measurements" is a thing.




    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchrotron




    So, there's at least three accounts of what can define "measurement of
    time", in the micro, meso, and macro.

    Then these days pretty much the world relies on "the naval observatory
    in Colorado" if not so much "the clock tower in Greenwich", as with
    regards to ye olde UTC, CUT, "Zulu", and so on, time.

    About relativity theory and "measuring rods and clocks", then, it's

    Thanks for writing.

    I'm curious how to interpret the smiley, usually enough it's
    a reaction of spontaneous happiness, yet in some regards it's
    as like the monkey's grimace that's usually aggression or fear.

    Then, the idea that there are "collective clocks" and that for
    time there are independent metrologies of time as about

    the atomic clock,
    the synchroton clock,
    and the quasar clock,

    that would advise a lot of the context about "the clock hypothesis",
    and also the role of clocks with rigid measuring rods of length,
    for the metrology (the science of measurement) of space,
    the metrologies, a metrology.

    Hi,

    Now that the debate with Chris M. Thomasson

    - Game Engine in WebGPU
    It will support the life cycle of sprites,
    like sprites comming out of nowhere,
    and being destroyed by arms,
    just like in Space invader.

    This would be surely a fantastic exercise,
    to see what a GPU can do and cannot do,
    in respect of life cycle of threads, especially

    modern GPUs that sell the CUDA dream.

    Hi,

    Well there are two viewpoint, the "client"
    of the GPU, which is the CPU, and the "server"
    of the GPU, which is the command processor

    queue of the GPU device. So basically as
    a CPU client I can write the memory area,
    that is later mapped to my GPU code storage.

    And this way have a compiler, even written
    in Prolog, that compiles pi-WAM to my Hack VM,
    that can then be then deployed to GPU.

    You could also try the same with a Tiny
    LISP VM. And a grown up LISP to act as
    the compiler. Would be a similar exercise.

    some calls, then of course you need to follow those requirements - it's
    the people who designed the interfaces that made questionable design choices.


    Nope, you're wrong.-a You're dead wrong.-a The world isn't built on C, even though here in comp.lang.c we like to pretend it is.

    Several language environments allow function generation on the fly,
    these functions need to be garbage collected.-a Common Lisp is an
    example, therefore comp.lang.lisp is added to this discussion.

    I've also added comp.theory so Mild Shock can comment.

    You will have to go out of your way to make a computer architecture incompatible with garbage collected and heap allocated binary code, something I've been told SBCL does internally [1] to create an archi- tecture that has different

    *-a sizeof ( void * ), and
    *-a sizeof ( void (*)( void ) ),

    and when you do that, I'll just claim you're making a /malicious
    computer architecture/ and refuse to use it.


    [1] I've not looked at the code, but told the garbage collector can
    and will at least move the code around, if not collect it.

    Hi,

    How do you break out of a loop,

    What Hamelt is to English language, is Hack to
    Compiler Construction. The playbook of Hack contains
    every drama that a Compiler Construction will face.
    In the following we show how we realized Project 6:
    Assembler from the Nand to Tetris journey via
    a little Prolog DSL.

    BTW, roughly or maybe not?
    Hack (the book) =
    Nand to Tetris (the website) =

    Have Fun!

    Hi,

    pi-WAM is compiled to Hack VM. You
    can realize goto's wherever you want. The
    Hack VM I am using is a variant of:

    Hi,

    Using Java sometimes doesn't make me a Java
    evangelist. I wouldn't care less about any
    programming language, because the idea of

    pi-WAM draws from pi-calculus and WAM. But
    since we are in 2026, not many people
    might remember pi-calculus:

    Functions as Processes
    Robin Milner - June 1989
    https://hal.science/docs/00/07/54/05/PDF/RR-1154.pdf

    AI chat bots know pi-calculus from time to
    time, while interacting, they spit out
    pi-calculus. I have always to tame them,

    and let them cool down, since well, the
    pi-calculus doesn't happen directly in the
    pi-WAM. Rather in the FFI, which has create

    operations on threads and queue, frankly my
    pi-WAM is an extremly crippled, has only
    a few primitives from pi-calculus.

    BYe

    Didn't you say in some other post you've done Java professionally?

    How do you break out of a loop, from within a switch () statement
    in Java? I gather that's simply impossible, because "goto" isn't
    implemented, and the "break" statement doesn't see labels outside
    the switch ()?

    Not sure how well that fits within comp.theory, as I haven't sub-
    scribed yet, but perhaps Mild Shock is willing to comment on that
    glaring deficiency in the Java programming language?
