Since my job is stable now and I have saved up some money, I have decided to stop accepting donations via GitHub Sponsors and Ko-fi. I would like to thank everyone who helped me over the years. There are people who need the help much more than me right now.
If you needed a suggestion, @… is doing a lot more than me for #Gentoo these days and will certainly appreciate your help. He's also way nicer than I'll ever be.

To the best of my knowledge, Gentoo project does not need extra money right now, but there are other awesome projects such as Disroot or many Fediverse instances that would definitely use some help. However, in general I'd suggest towards supporting individuals rather than projects: people need money to live, and can use your donations directly, while projects are often bound by red tape.
Finally, please support human artists and craftspeople (and I'm counting human software developers in that). Donate to projects and people who resist enshittification and who refuse to use LLMs. They need the money.
Once again, thanks for all.

But what about the computational cost of deriving conclusions from statements? Does information not capture or consider that at all?
Aquinas said that angels immediately know all the consequences of their knowledge. But humans do not.

Film director Werner Herzog has always been drawn to the limits of human knowledge
– to the places where science meets myth, where discovery shades into obsession.
In "Ghost Elephants", which premiered at last year’s Venice Film Festival,
he follows conservationist Steve Boyes in Angola as he searches for a herd of elephants that may or may not exist.
It is both a scientific expedition and a philosophical fable that asks what it means to chase a dream that…
