I appreciate the response but you hyperfocused on my arrogant statement of, "let us who care about hardware write the software" rather than addressing the real meat of my post:

>Mathematics are used in software development.

>The distinction that I'm trying to convey is that in order to use any of the aforementioned, you are not required to approach those problems the same way you would in a mathematics classroom: rote memorization of various forms of problems each with its extensive micromanagement and minute tracings. In contrast, all that is required is to have a conceptual understanding of the mathematical process, or processes, at play and be able to implement that process on a computer.

>These problem-solving mindsets are in fact different. The classroom mindset (the "programming is all maths" mindset) is characterized by the extensive micromanagement of one complex problem at a time while the programming mindset is characterized by the extensive macromanagement of dozens, if not hundreds, of relatively simple problems simultaneously.

>When you say "care about hardware" is that from a reddit "I FUCKING LOVE COMPUTING" perspective, or are you involved hardware design?

I am not actively involved in hardware design but I have used Xilinx Vivado for one of their FPGAs. When I say care about hardware, I'm referring to a better utilization of hardware from a software perspective; specifically, data-oriented design where you write software to efficiently use the CPU caches as much as possible. I see a lot of "programming is all maths" people completely ignore things such as any kind of manual memory allocation, slab allocation, structure of arrays, and various other things that allow for better utilization of hardware over their garbage-collected OOP shit.

Ahh fair enough, I see what you mean. Haskell is a good case of that, where you have category theorists with an abstract view of hardware as some generalization of a turing machine writing programs. This of course is fine for the work they're doing, but I don't think that's what people mean when they utter the "programming is all math" line. Without qualification, the line is a bit silly as it doesn't really communicate the intent. "Programming is an example of applied logic" is perhaps a bit clearer. Now with the category theorists dismissed to their ivory towers, there is still a lot other math guys can do to help you achieve optimal performance in "real" languages and for "real" work. Look at something like LAPACK and all of the work that has gone into things like Intel's MKL.

As for Xilinx, I think there DSP48 is a good example of applied mathematics for hardware. https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/user_guides/ug479_7Series_DSP48E1.pdf. Of course the "Place and Route" step in the FPGA Implementation step is another good example of an optimization problem where mathematics directly applies, albeit behind the scenes.

>>1072

Let's not pretend it wasn't a good line though.

>>1075

>but I don't think that's what people mean when they utter the "programming is all math" line

>Without qualification, the line is a bit silly as it doesn't really communicate the intent.

I've encountered enough people who do or at least hold an opinion adjacent to it which is why I'm austically screeching about it so much. It truly is nonsensical in my view.

>"Programming is an example of applied logic" is perhaps a bit clearer

Absolutely agree, it's a far more apt definition.

>there is still a lot other math guys can do to help you achieve optimal performance in "real" languages and for "real" work.

Fuck yeah they can, cryptography and databases would be shit without them (I never tried to claimed they couldn't by the way) not to mention all the crazy hardware advances that have given us the convenience that we have today.

>As for Xilinx

Thanks for the reference and the response.

good luck. being tipsy might actually help with a Gentoo installation, since you'll focus on following instructions as they're written.

>but as I showed

what contradiction do you see there?

alist(X) is not X.

member finds members of lists. it doesn't know about alist/1

Oh, I forgot:

?- member("Alita", A).

returns: A = ["Alita"|_6022]

When I write this:

?- alist(X), member("Alita", X).

It should create X='the list I want'. Well, it does, it gives back:

X = ["Alita", "Isla", "Chi", "Cameron", …]

But it does not use it in the second term or command.

Another try:

|: sublist(A,B) :- alist(A),member(A,B).

?- sublist("Alita", alist).

false.

?- sublist("Alita", alist(X)).

false.

Well, probably I understood something in those tutorials wrong. I get the tests in those right, but as soon I try something on my own it fails. Getting useful answers from guys which know Prolog on the other hand seems to be rather difficult. However, I downloaded some books now, so I'll try it with those. Maybe this works better for me.

>>1052

you keep saying alist(X), I think you're very confused about how Prolog works.

consider:

$ cat list.pl
alist([alita, isla, chi]).
anotherlist([isla, chi]).

waifu :-
	alist(L),
	member(alita, L),
	print('waifu found').

bad :-
	anotherlist(L),
	member(alita, L),
	print('waifu found?').

marry(L) :-
	member(Waifu, L),
	print('I guess I\'ll marry...'),
	print(Waifu).

| ?- waifu.

true ? 

yes
| ?- bad.

no
| ?- alist(L), marry(L).
I guess I'll marry...alita

L = [alita,isla,chi] ? 

yes
| ?- 

Ah, thanks. Now I've got it.

This is working:

?- [user].

|: fembots(["Alita", "Isla", "Chi"]).

|: buildfembot(X) :- fembots(L),member(X, L),print("Start building…").

|: ^D% user://9 compiled 0.06 sec, 3 clauses

?- buildfembot("Alita").

"Start building…"

true .

The variable for the list only needs to be on the right side. I got confused with the idea of singelton variables. I thought I need the same on both sides, but it's only important that they occur more than once.

I nearly had this part: buildfembot(X) :- fembots(L),member(X, L)

Here: sublist(A,B) :- alist(A),member(A,B). Doesn't work.

Also doesnt work: sublist(A,B) :- alist(B),member(A,B).

I didn't need the variable for the list I wanted to retrieve, and it might even not possible to hand it over that way. If it is possible, then I still don't know that part. However, that's no problem. The right style in Prolog seems to be to break these things in little parts anyways.

I started reading "Prolog Programming - A First Course, Paul Brna"

This. It's quite frankly amazing that our world is so shit we needed someone like RMS to step up and formalize what any decent person should already believe. You often hear

<b-but rms didn't invent the concept of free software!

which is true, but ignores the fact that he's been, by far, the most important person to spread and defend it.

I tend to disagree with some of his other social/political opinions, but he is spot-on when it comes to software freedom and technology in general.

Almost all arguments against free software boil down to either plain ignorance or bad faith.

>>1000

While there is no direct evidence about either RMS or any member of the GNU project being pedophiles, there would be absolutely nothing wrong with it even if it were the case.

>>1002

So you would defend the stallman pedo only because of his contributions to free software, and the cancerous gpl? Dumb nigger, you should be hanged.

I always wondered about that weird fucky faked interview and the CIA plane at the airport. It blows my mind thinking that this entire timeline of events with Assange could be a total fabrication. It would be nice if someone could create a pastebin/pdf/similar with high quality redundant citations (something like archive.is + wayback machine links). Perhaps I will go down the rabbit hole on the deepfake RT interview + the CIA planes and attempt to document my insanity in some pdf file or something for the sake of everyone who is wondering about this. If you’d like to open the rabbit hole yourself start here:

The original faked interview (full): https://invidio.us/watch?v=zEMKrRXjA3U

Sections of the video which appear to be deepfake artifacts: https://invidio.us/watch?v=YUAOTFIXbp8

You can even go to the timestamps in the original video and find the deepfake artifacts for yourself. I’m kind of mind-blown by how brazen this is.

I wonder how bad things really are…

>>997

This video is much better at showing how the video appears to be faked actually: https://invidio.us/watch?v=ApG1XdI-Dd4

>>997

Was considering they maybe cut out a silence, and then spliced the footage rather than a hard cut because it was just one scene and the morph happened in so many places.

But >>998 shows it happening again in a sentence that doesn't look like it can be cut up. I'm now convinced this was a deep fake. Scary thought.

>>1005

One possibility I can think of is that they cut out some text. Here's an example, completely pulled out of my ass just now: In the yuro mind he represents white trash, the drug-addled scum living in a trailer park that is deplorable and irredeemable.

This sort of editing is pestilentially common (usually they hide it with clever cuts to the interviewer) but doing that would be weird for "full" interview footage. My best guess would be that RT, which definitely wasn't neutral during the election, wanted to push the interview into a light that better lines up with their agenda, i.e. Assange said something that would have made him unsympathetic to Trump voters. Though truth be told, I can't read minds and even I feel like this is grasping.

You can create many units of assembly code, and copy and paste them, using them essentially as units of higher level code. There is no reason for the existence of C or other shitty, bloated buggy crap.

LMAO stop shilling the newest corporate buzzword.

"Copyfree", MIT and BSD-style licenses are cuckoldry, period.

The only reason you hate copyleft is because you want to take existing free code and close it. You know this, but you're going to deny it.

This means that you're an entitled leech, which copyleft was precisely created to counter.

There are some minor complaints about Rust, but my favorite part is

>The way AwesomeWM handled this was a “restart” in AwesomeWM just re-exec the binary. This was possible in X11 because a WM is just a client. This isn’t feasible in Wayland because a compositor is the server, and so to re-exec way-cooler would cause all clients to be disconnected. This is a terrible user experience so I had to redesign the project again.

>This set me back even more time as I had to spend time re-architecturing the project. Eventually I figured I would just have to emulate X11 here – there would be a privileged client process that would implement the AwesomeWM compatibilty and I would implement the compositor as a program it would talk to. The main way they would share data was through custom Wayland protocols. In essence I was recreating X11 in Wayland.

haha yeah X11 is just a dinosaur, man. What a stupid idea, graphics over a network!
