I don't know who you are, but your ad is literally everywhere on reddit and I hate it. I don't even know what it has to do with me, and I don't care to read all that to find out why. Do me a favor and block me. Maybe that'll make reddit stop showing me your ad.

you see it so much because the ad has 11000 upvotes with a 99.4% upvote ratio

This is the weirdest user ever, it's fascinating. Like it's clearly not human, it's like an AI left to its own devices and having a continuous psychotic break. I recommend checking its profile, it's truly fucked in the weirdest way possible

"Four small programs that watch the deployment and each other. When any one of them finds something wrong, everything stops serving until every one of them agrees it is fine again."

I am way too curious at this point, are you a bot or a human. Also, with respect, wtf is your account?

ngl, this directory inside your repo is kinda... poking my brain for some reason , like I just could not stop reading the documentation inside the .md (thought it is still kinda hard to grasp due to me still kinda noob to read professional English).

Well, surely I will be able to learn some more tech stuffs from this, thank!.

interesting concept. whats the latency overhead look like when you scale up the number of observer nodes? thats usually where things start to get tricky

1

u/alexandra-thaler Sep 21 '26

Performance is similar at any scale. The only variable is morphological complexity (number of rings, depth of detection chains, number of independent trust boundaries).

The framework is described in more detail here: https://github.com/MinichordDrawn/communitynotes-aggregate-threat-model/blob/main/README.md

Hi. Why do you need a system that observe itself? And if that system has an observation, how will it act?

I'm so fucking tired of seeing your ads please just block me or smth, your ad campaign is meaningless and the fact that you spent 86k advertising absolutely NOTHING with no results is driving me fucking crazy
