The requirements for residential units are primarily the International Building Code, which are the expensive ones. The city only manages planning, such as a residential use can go in a certain area. To actually build, you need a building

A well run state would just not have this problem. It's all caused by bad policy. I would prefer some learning from mistakes and fixing bad policy over being forced to leave the State.

For predicates, I’ve abandoned the p postfix as it’s then so hard to know which predicates you have. Instead we now use the ? as a prefix to any Boolean predicate, so in the repl you can just type ? Hit tab and see all available predicates

What if it never began and has simply always existed? That is the likely scenario, as the moment you think about it beginning, you again face beginning from what? What was that called before the universe other than the universe?

This is very much outdated as current sbcl.org compiled lisp is in many cases faster than any other language.

You missed the "humans" part of my statement. We humans mentally have a fully linked graph (hypergraph) of what we know through space-time and conceptually indexed. We do not have a whole bunch of disconnected data silos in our

by gibsonf1 4y ago
But thats just it, having many silos for connected information is just not the way we humans do it, nor necessary. A single conceptually indexed space/time hypergraph (as we humans do it) for any part of the world is all you need, sca

I think the issue isn't SQL, but the table paradigm for storing data. Humans do not store data in separate tables that need joining, they store data in a fully connected graph (hyper-graph). Its about relationships and hierarchies -

>Think about it this way: is a digital image a symbol? No, a particular digital image is not a symbol but output data from an image making event. It can be sybmolized however for easy reference to that particular output data.

by gibsonf1 4y ago
Your memory of an event and the sensory perception of it is not a symbol. However, a symbol can be used to help recall the memory of the event. I think maybe the issue here is the definition of symbol, and I go by this: "Something th

by gibsonf1 4y ago
The issue isn't symbol granularity. The way symbols work cognitively is they allow us to retrieve that which the symbol represents, that's what the symbol means. In the human case, its all the memories of states through time and

The reason why the attempt to use symbol manipulation resulted in the first AI winter is that symbols represent something else, and that missing something else is needed to attain understanding. For example, when we humans think about a fri

The semantic web has been reintroduced as part of "Solid" by Tim Berners-Lee (and Inrupt) and is growing very fast: https://solidproject.org/ The opposite of dead in fact.

I like parenthesis - simple nested containers. All other syntax adds unneeded bug inducing complexity.

Nice! I didn't know that trick.

That code is slow because it's working with a really long list instead of a very fast hash table

Which lisp compiler did you use?

by gibsonf1 4y ago
What code was used for Common Lisp? I'm guessing a well written version would be in the top contenders for speed.

Why do you need to build them in when you can just load your favorite libraries that do these functions with https://www.quicklisp.org/ , especially for http the great libraries by Fukamachi: https://github.com&#

I think you fully missed my point. Intelligence involves conceptually understanding a space/time model of the world such that you can use the word data as input to then create that model in your mind and compute with it. The words al

by gibsonf1 5y ago
I would not disagree that there are commercial applications for knowing what are the most statistically used set of words (potentially) with games being the #1 use case I think. But for actual intelligence, that is understanding the world,
