Cores that don't count = floating-point coprocessor cores? :-)
But seriously, though,

Of course they're weaker than byzantine failures. There's time locality, and the failure in themselves are not particularly hard to detect if some other core checks the results (although that obviously doesn't happen after every single computation).

- hypertele-Xii 5y agowait... consensus algorithms exist? can they work for human brains? experiment : tell a bunch of people that if they form consensus about, say, a color, they all get $5 (or whatever). have them attempt to reach consensus only using the exact mechanisms of a consensus algorithm. (research what they are)
- ithkuil 5y agoYou need to specify further environment parameters: Is the communication channel lossy? Can all the participants be trusted? Is there a time limit?
- PaulDavisThe1st 5y agobehind the scenes, someone offers one of the participants $10 to prevent consensus.
- remram 5y agoYou mean if people perform a successful vote on something they don't care about, you'll give each $5? You don't think anyone could do it in under a minute?
- hypertele-Xii 5y agoYeah but like not face-to-face. Using the algorithm, but running on humans. Like the old human computers.
- remram 5y agoAll you need is for one person to propose something and a majority to say they agree? Is that what you mean?
