Lisp moves slowly, can you think of any more current contenders that have more than a handful of users?

by codr7 1y ago
In Lisp circles, I think it seems fair to call it the latest hype. Or can you think of any other recent Lisps that have reached similar levels of popularity? Of course, I'm not claiming Clojure is a subset of Common Lisp, it has a lot

Right, way to expensive for what it offers. I would consider paying the 1 year price for unlimited access. If I was allowed to try it out before paying, that is.

So here's the complete error message: <unknown line number>: internal compiler error: unexpected types2.Invalid Please file a bug report including a short program that triggers the error. https://go.dev/issue&#x2F

I did nothing weird, played around a bit with the new iterators. Internal compiler errors are very much the implementation's problem. UPDATE: See comment below for full error message and a link to the code.

My first interpreters were Forth-derivatives, it's a great way to start designing your own languages. I've recently been working on a project to lower the barrier to entry for budding language designers. The language is strictly p

I just wish the could stabilize the compiler before piling on more features. I regularly run into internal compiler errors these days for pretty normal looking code. It's getting to the point where I'm reluctant to invest more tim

I am, occasionally, mostly to implement interpreters these days. But I did spent an awful lot of time in C lately while writing this book: https://github.com/codr7/hacktical-c

You have to wonder what their plan is. Right now they're shoving AI down everyone's throats much the same way as they did the Covid vaccines. It's looking more and more desperate every passing second. Why is it so important?

Thank you, I've been running latest Winblows on my Lenovo laptop for a few months since I bought it. It's a new laptop, so wanted to let the BIOS update situation stabilize, as well as give WSL2 a serious try. Finally lost patienc

Experience and observation? There are plenty of things I know that have nothing to do with guessing. I understand the incentives to pretend these algorithms are even approaching humans in overall capability, but reducing human experience li

My advice, stop using AI before your entire brain turns to mush, you're already not making much sense.

Intuition and guessing couldn't be further apart. In fact, intuition is one of those things that a computer just can't do.

by codr7 1y ago
Not at all, just a bit sad that so many good ideas are lost chasing the latest hype.

Clojure is far from the whole truth when it comes to Lisp though. Common Lisp doesn't have as many opinions about your code, includes several nice features that Clojure skipped, and isn't chained to the JVM.

No worries, this won't last long. Once the algorithms predominantly feed on their own shit the bazillion dollar clown party is over.

I can't stand Figma at all, it always misses the point of the exercise by focusing too much on fancy, pixel perfect design.

by codr7 1y ago
Java is the same if I remember correctly, always felt like a design failure to me.
260.
by codr7 1y ago
Yeah, but there's absolutely no proof that's how it happens.
261.
by codr7 1y ago
Given that we have no freaking clue of where self awareness comes from even in humans, expecting a machine to evolve the same capability by itself is pure fantasy.

by codr7 1y ago
Yeah, anyone who's seen it trying to improve code could tell you what that optimization looks like. Oh, this part is taking too long, let's replace it with an empty function. Oh wait, now it's not working, let's add the

Speaking of vibes. As long as AI is guessing answers based on what it has seen before, it's not happening. I'm sorry. It doesn't matter how many bazillions you would cash in if it did, still not happening. It's all wishf

Maybe we socialize in different groups; but no, most humans I interact with are way more intelligent than any AI. They might not have the same amount of knowledge, but they aren't guessing all the time either.
265.
by codr7 1y ago
It's not slipping up, it's guessing the wrong answer. I'd be prepared to argue that most humans aren't guessing most of the time.

I always carry a notebook to write down stuff I need to remember, and it's extremely rare for me to go back and read anything I've written. I also use OrgMode, which doesn't seem to have the same effect at all.

by codr7 1y ago
Big surprise, it's VC that wants a piece of the bazillions currently being wasted.

Oh dear, who cares what anyone believes? I can read, and I have read the whole thing, several times, I know what Jesus taught. And it's perfectly obvious that very few so called Christians even come close.

Just wait until they're not there anymore, that's when you realize what you sacrificed.

The grand potential of short sighted profits with no concern for society nor other humans, yes.
