• The Signal Collapse gives us System Uncertainty (Re: Having 2544 issues

    Hi,

    1. Everybody’s a programmer now
    The barrier to entry dropped dramatically — you can
    become a "developer" with a few online tutorials
    and a GitHub account.

    2. Everybody’s an academic now
    Academia expanded, but standards often fell. In
    some places, it's publish or perish, so paper
    mills and fake research flourish.

    3. Signal Collapse ↔ Systemic Uncertainty
    Credentials lose meaning, No reliable markers of
    skill, Fragile systems built on shallow knowledge

    4. Signal Collapse ↔ Systemic Uncertainty
    Quantity overwhelms quality, Important truths get
    buried, Bad signals drown good ones

    Etc..

    Bye

    Having 2544 issues is probably a bad sign.
    I find this many issues here:

    https://github.com/rocq-prover/rocq/issues

    Mostlikely 90% of the issues can be move to
    the new discussion feature of GitHub.

    LoL

    P.S.: Same holds for Scryer Prolog with 406 issues.

    Maybe AGI should take over proving.
    Just take the humans out of the loop
    of any programming, it leads to nowhere.

    Hi,

    A 2020 study analyzing 2,927 GitHub projects found
    that many repositories quickly become unmaintained.
    This implies that the majority of projects don’t
    sustain long-term active development.

    Another study reported 46% of repositories inactive
    for at least six months, and only 13% active in the
    last month, showing low ongoing engagement
    across most repos.

    Because millions of repos exist on GitHub, and
    large portions are abandoned, inactive, or minimal
    “toy” projects, the fraction of repositories that are
    well-maintained, collaborative, and used in
    production contexts is low—roughly estimated
    to be around 1–2%.

    The caravan moves forth, leaving behind the
    occasional turd perfectly captures GitHub. Rename
    GitHub, to TurdPit, and make Amber Heard their CEO.

    Bye
