He must be referring to https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/2935323.2935331 ?Just looking at refs for the moment: Henglein and Hinze's discriminators are interesting, whenever you come back up for air. (are they also amenable to sorting codata?)
The oft-cited R Bernecky is, IIRC, also known as "Boolean Bob" for his SWAR-style algos. EDIT: nope, confused him with R Smith: https://aplwiki.com/wiki/Bob_Smith
(I once asked Boolean Bob if any of his tricks went back to the card processing days —I could even believe the keyed tree* might?— but he was too young to know, and the people he'd have liked to ask are no longer available.)
EDIT: Aardappel also has some interesting languages: https://strlen.com/#programming-languages
* for manipulating Bills of Materials despite the linearity of card decks?
EDIT2: compare "§3.2.1 Constructing Node Coordinates" (p34) with [T in "Table 1.19 Full list matrices of the tree of Fig. 1.16" in A Programming Language (p50): https://archive.org/details/aprogramminglanguage1962/page/n6...

Thanks![Too low global b/w to feel the adrenalin.. wow.. what was your deduction chain for figuring how BoMs was next item on my stack? Guessing you started from assumption that pure bits mongering are not on the boundary of my ikigais(yet)]
On the heap, I (re)surfaced "Typed Array Intermediate Language" slides, but too low (local) b/w to try to find out^W^W^W^W sus out if this or smth v similar is already in dyalog.com's workflow.

What were those slides about formalizing Euclid ?
[Medium b/w vibing that multiplicity of edits is a precise estimate of flow-of-war, ~ webpage memory usage is an accurate estimate of just how well run the entire organization is..]

still haven't refound the slides — every 5 or 6 weeks I get a new idea of who it might have been, but so far to no avail...[BoMs were complete coincidence]

Slides & conspiracies..For an vulpine organ they speak very confidently of the f-o-w

Using kendō vocab I think what they're trying to say with f-o-w is to avoid 2 of the 4 fails: 疑, and (or at least?) 惑.(interesting that 平常心 is unmarked, while in english the desired state of mind[heart] is marked)
No slides yet, but I finally dug up the quotation I'd promised you last year: Körner, The Pleasures of Counting (1996) p.413 ch.17 "Time and chance" in a footnote (arrived at via a path starting with Enigma decodes!):
> Social Darwinism applies the Darwinian doctrine of survival of the fittest to human society. Rich social Darwinists take wealth as the best indication of fitness to survive, academic social Darwinists take intellectual achievements as the best indication and so on. They are often haunted by the fear that the unfit do not understand this and may outbreed the fit.

疑 is a common failure mode for foxes, yes. 惑 might be interesting for me to consider in the musk-jobs case studies (roughly corresponding to where the confidence shall be reconsidered?) How about OCD? Subset of 惑? Could lead to failure-to-ship for designers..https://www.thepsmiths.com/p/review-reentry-by-eric-berger
>Part of what makes “founder mode” so effective is that startup founders have both a compensation structure and social permission that lets them treat every single issue that comes up at work as if their family is about to die
(The field promotions and war stories also remind me of 1796-1797)
Aha thanks.
a quick de-Maistre-style counter response before I dive in
social-darwinists.ch
Would you say (the proddy part of) CH culture is largely pre-1939 compared to the most of the rest of teutonia (some hills of ostmark excepted..& liechtenstein)(Or even pre XVIII, leaving out AT et al if we review the antisemitism?)

Update:What sort of [social-]darwinist might KDA be??? (Ditto for Angus Deaton)
(Just trying to find out how I'd come across .. not as an organizational darwinist ???? ))
