Datum is a single data point, Data are plural, state is data that are dependent on time.

I guess I'm curious how the implementation of Vector works in Lisps. I thought it would be some sort of combination of Atoms and Cons cells. I looked into the Racket Repo to find something, but had a hard time finding the code.

Super computers are almost at this scale, if you go by FLOPS. Distributed cloud systems certainly surpass this number as well. https://www.top500.org/lists/top500/2023/11/

I don't know Zuckerberg, so I don't know his motivation, nor the executives of Meta. I haven't really read any of their work. Profit and control fit the data points, but I suppose I could "put it past them" if a bet

I don't need Steam to run my games or to pipe data into my Valve Index either. It's still unclear to me why an account is needed. I mean, I get the profit and control motive, I just don't understand the technical reasons.

I like your idea a lot. I think it's potentially a major missing piece to our systems. I really hope you are able to map it out. If you ever need a tester, let me know.

Have you seen any work that Parker Ziegler has worked on? He has a couple of projects for automatic wrangling of visuals when it comes to charting data. Seems related, but also different approach to this area. https://www.thestra

What temperature does it melt at? I'm curious to know more failure more. I'm also curious how the human immune system reacts to it, though I'm sure it's not known yet.

Philosophically, I don't know what "must" or "has" to be an operator. I certainly don't want to tell you how to design your language. I'm just trying to say, don't rule the pattern out because it'

I wouldn't recommend just throwing the idea away, it just needs to be approached with care. You can do it in a type safe way. Research Rank Polymorphism and Array Languages: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_pr

Yes, I have been in similar situations, but I did have access to some Myspace hacker forums, and some gaming friends that were into this stuff to help guide me when I got stuck. At least later on. I also got a few books at around 13... but

How did you figure out how to navigate the filesystem in the first place? Or use the terminal app to get to the man pages? I remember opening up my first IDE when I was about 14 and becoming overwhelmed with my complete lack of knowledge ab

I think you are right. Without knowing more detail, the claims of the protocol seem very cool. They are doing more than just Time of Flight calculations. Looks like they do channel impulse response analysis with really high data rates. Very

A clock + challenge response is likely one of only a couple solutions to this problem, but the challenge is the "valid time" would need to be on the order of nanoseconds, not seconds to beat the relay attack mentioned in the artic

Emacs seems to support this already with Derived Modes. I've tried to derive Magit mode for some commands before, and it seems relatively straight forward. My main issue is that Elisp and Emacs still confuse me after 2 years of casuall

Have to mention Shen, the strongly typed functional Lisp, whose type system is based on the Sequent Calculus. https://shenlanguage.org/learn.html A bit of an esoreric language, but fascinating nonetheless.

His work is definitely worthwhile. Wolfram Language by itself is actually very cool. I really wish he would open source it. I'm not going to use any math package that isn't open source for anything. I think his physics work is pre
