I wonder if the name was inspired by Doug Engelbart's system: https://dougengelbart.org/content/view/155/

I guess the author meant its modern incarnation rather than a garage operation that sells nerdy toys to hobbyists. Humane's first product (or at least what it was supposed to be) is a far cry from the Apple II.

My father showed me a simple program in Sinclair BASIC (on a Russian Speccy clone) that draws a snowman when I was 5 years old, but he couldn't teach me anything more about programming sadly. Then when I was ~12 years old, I joined my

I wonder what is the closest thing to Cyc we have in the open source realm right now. I know that we have some pretty large knowledge bases, like Wikidata, but what about expert system shells or inference engines?

The discipline is called Electrical Engineering, and the high-level roles are typically Architects, Design Engineers, and Validation/Verification Engineers. Those roles in turn specialize into e.g. Physical Design Engineer, Pre-Silicon

LGPL doesn’t require them to license their project under GPL, it’s more permissive than you seem to think: https://fluendo.com/en/blog/gpl-vs-lgpl/

I've seen mentions of Symbolics working on an SGI board but I’m not sure if they ever released that. At least they released a board for another Unix workstation vendor, Sun.

You keep pretending that the CADR is the only Lisp machine, while it’s basically a throwaway prototype for the real deal that was being implemented at Symbolics. ;) There are no misconceptions in my post. The CADR software already included
