It is useful for reducing the cost of partially-used barrel files 👍 2458

indexzero @charlie.dev · 23/09/2026It is the shared understanding that empowered Turing's breakthrough. To remove that human aspect of the outcome is indeed a form of strip-mining as Tao suggests. The two applied mathematicians show many more examples of the value from cross disciplinary shared understanding 000
indexzero @charlie.dev · 23/09/2026Reading the history of how these seminal minds influenced each other is why I could not agree more with the 27 Fields medalists who agreed that open problems are "landmarks and lighthouses," because we have seen time & time again that merely solving the mathematics problem is only the beginning 110

indexzero @charlie.dev · 23/09/2026When he wrote Gödel about it, Gödel responded he had already derived it himself & published that same week. That mutual derivation & exchange is what set up Alan Turing just a few years later to think creatively about "Turing Machines" & what they could or could not decide. 100
indexzero @charlie.dev · 23/09/2026in a discussion session at a conference Gödel announced the First Incompleteness Theorem almost trolling every mathematician that what they were after was itself unprovable.
