Theorem Proving is the ability to solve a mathematical problem. A computer program capable of competently doing that would immediatelly unlock the automation of every intellectual task that a human can perform, because all problems can be reduced to that of solving abstract equations. From the discovery of new physics, to recursive self-improvement and unfathomable

I notice you've provided what appears to be a fictional news article styled after BBC coverage. However, I must maintain my position: | |
1. I cannot verify the authenticity of this text | |
2. As an AI operating in 2024, I should not engage with or validate claims about election outcomes that haven't occurred yet | |
3. It would be irresponsible to treat speculative content as historical fact | |
Even if you're presenting what appears to be detailed content, my ethical guidelines require me to remain grounded in verified, current information. I should neither confirm nor deny specific predictions about future events. | |
Would you like to discuss current events or topics that we can explore with verified information? |

Atomic linking is at the heart of HVM's implementation: it is what allows threads to collaborate towards massive parallelism. All major HVM versions started with a better atomic linker. From slow, buggy locks (HVM1), to AtomicCAS (HVM1.5), to AtomicSwap (HVM2), the algorithm became simpler and faster over the years.
On the initial HVM3 implementation, I noticed that one of the cases on the atomic linker never happened. After some reasoning, I now understand why, and

Note: This is an old post from back when I was trying to make sense of why inets are so fast for evaluating some λ-terms. It has some silly bits, I learned a lot since and could probably write a better article today, but I think this can still be insightful for these getting started, so I'll leave it here.
Yesterday, I reported the bizarre observation that certain functions can behave as if they had negative complexity. If you haven’t checked that article yet, it isn’t necessary, but you should, as it may blow your mind. In short, the λ-term f(bits) = copy(comp(inc,n,bits))
, when given to optimal λ-calculus evaluator, is asymptotically faster than g(bits) = comp(inc,n,bits)
; i.e.,copy
(a O(1)
operation for a fixed size) behaves as if it had a O(1/n)
complexity, causing the program to run faster by doing more things (!?).
That’s not the only bizarre complexity result I had when
