If you haven't read about the CHICKEN lisp gc, ask your fave AI "How does the CHICKEN lisp Cheney on the M.T.A. garbage collector work?" It allocates heap objects on the stack and when out of stack, starts a new heap/stack copying live objects. Everything runs as continuations which is the reference to the song with similar lyrics. Since both stack and recent heap objects are contiguous it has great CPU cache use.

- karmakaze 1y agoSearch doesn't work as well as it used to--I couldn't find the original article I had read. AI explanations are often better than random search results, but I don't really want to copy/paste.
- turtletontine 1y agoSearch definitely doesn’t work as well as it used to. Unfortunately “AI” slop is a big reason for that!
