Maybe it’s some kid’s half-assed science project.

Lisp is the true God’s programming language…

Wow awesome cover!

That’s so many nested assumptions, lol:
Assumption table
- Graduate student in academia
- Running a simulation for data
- For a conference
- Haskell
The probability value of all four being true simultaneously approaches ≈0%
Don’t forget the sheer, mind-destroying size of the universe, and its age.

Come on, it doesn’t work like this. You can disprove the funny theory only if you give us an even more ridiculous one in it’s stead.

Most of it is empty. The trick is lazy evaluation.

Our telescopes eats up CPU cycles fast, the poor blokes cloud server will come with an unsuspecting bill this month…

Yeah, it uses a simplified model unless you look too close. That’s how you get those funny quantum effects. Although, I have to say, great sativa, dude

I mean, if it’s really a simulation, all of that would be… simulated.

I know; I’m just fishing out counter-examples and counter-arguments. I’m in the rare cadre of participants who like to roam around on the interior of the sim

Your reply kinda reminds me of Thirteenth Floor.
