Yann leCun does not use Lush anymore.

I guess we all agree that one way to get around the burden of reasoning around mutable state is restricting the language. I find that an equally reasonable way is to be able to add new language constructs to make this reasoning far more (hu

Can you cite that ? Have you tried doing Numerical (or Symbolic) computation in Haskell ?

Didn't lisp machines have Hardware traps of some kind ?

Yes, but religions of the orient, do not actually punish you for not believing in God. There were atheists, agnostics, ... in India, long before they were tolerated in the West. My interpretation, and Niels Bohr's, is that it doesn&#x2

Superstitions which do no harm anyone are not something to be looked down upon (as silly as they may be). Niels Bohr had a Horseshoe on his door. It's called the Pascal wager. The issue is about loonies going after people for "ins

Does anyone know what local Quantum effects imply for the complexity of problems it can solve ? I thought the watershed between a Classical computer and Quantum one was the ability to solve some hard problems believed to be in both NP and c

I don't know about Clojure, but you can usually use an infix reader in common lisp to get around that. What's more, because one can macroexpand on the fly, you can actually see the code that it transforms into.

This is sad. I know about Brendan Eich's views, but Mozilla is an organization devoted to open source, none of whose concerns, as far as I can tell, have anything to be with sexual minorities. Were he still the CEO, he really couldn&#x

The impression I have from reading the comments, seems to indicated that many believe Common Lisp not to have types ! With CLOS (and :before methods!), and optional type declarations, and the awesome implementations which do type inferencin

I don't know if you realise that by converting a double "0.1" into the python decimal of a much larger size, you're bound to get garbage. Edit: I see what you're doing now. I didn't appreciate enough how conver

Realistically though, a super intelligent AI, would require far more fundamental breakthroughs. People who say otherwise, should take a look at problems in Control theory. The effect of scaling things up should be interesting though. Perhap

I wish instead of making computers do things that Humans are doing, people put more effort into making the Humans' job, instructing these stupid beasts (I mean the computers), easier.

It would seem, we now have another instance of, Monty Python's proof.

In that case, we should probably move to a noisier (/faster/cheaper) floating point processor.

I'm gladder still that I wasn't your student. You can't get creativity or love from bullying, only slavery. P.S: I'm in a top CS Grad school, so no, thank you, for your offer of consdescension. I'm sure, you and you

Did you even read the article ? The point was not that someone asked her out (her current partner should've, at some point, for god's sake). The coworker knew of her relationship, and after the rejection "started passive-aggr

It wasn't just people noticing them from their desks (or joining them, for the sake of well-humoured fun). It was, as she says, "line of men sitting on one bench facing the hoopers and gawking at them". I would find that a bi

That explains the hoola-hooping incident I suppose.

It's very sad that she had to struggle through this sort of mental anguish. May you find brighter shores, Julie.

Have you seen StumpWM ? The sad part is that CLX is terribly instable.

I hear this forms the common theme for PL grants :P

You evidently have never used Common Lisp :)

Is that you Henri ?

I do so agree. Axler's book is also by far the most Geometric book on Linear algebra that I've ever read.

Wow. I'm glad I didn't take the Math courses you went through :) Perhaps, that's why I like it so much.

The demo looked really cool. I doubt it's better than Lisp for doing symbolic computation though.

by enupten 13y ago
Techically they are terrible at Math too. All they are good at is doing as they're told.

All they're missing is a cool interaction mode like SLIME.
