comment section looks like it's filled with bots, a lot of commenters looking like they are giving their opinion as if they had read the whole pages, sometimes irrelevant

It seems the "Web server is down" for this link.

I prefer to do matrices. Thanks though.

This is so cool! love it

what applications is this useful for? node topology is already a solved problem for decentralized networks since most validators are on aws. unless this is for fun? theres finite space to order nodes topologically speaking tbh

In the age of LLMs, is this basically a hobby now. Since an LLM can implement and apply graph theory algorithms far better than any human can. “But the human needs to judge if it’s applicable”, that’s probably not true even in today’s models like Opus 5.5. It definitely does a better job than most humans at applying graph theory to prove theorems. It also does a good job of applying it to solve algorithms. So what’s the point of this intellectual activity?

More and more it feels like as humans we are re-entering the pre 1700s era where most humans never learnt any technical knowledge, circa they never needed it.

The LLM boosters will claim, this is good and fine, LLMs will create an age of miracles and we will climb the kardashev scale or whatever other nonsense. I don’t think that will happen, I’m like 99% sure we won’t even cure cancer. We’re just making large swathes of intellectual work that we invented since the 1700s to now redundant for some reason and hoping that’s a better future, we are liberated from the “toils of thinking”. Well humanity has lived for 1000s of years without thinking of any of this stuff, so we’ll be fine but I suspect the world was richer when we did think about all this.
