I've been playing around with a fully interpreted Lisp as a habitat for LLMs to code in, and honestly it's really great

Hi, thank you both for this. I built my own, worse, harness in my own, worse, lisp and I will also be joining the chat

Cool! I used Larbs.xyz for a while. I love a good dotfiles repo. I guess I think there's a lot more in Omarchy than a dotfiles repo, I was very impressed with the demo video. Even just creating the menu and updating system is non-triv

The demo video is comprehensive and impressive

My understanding is that it only goes to Omarchy, and only with explicit permission from the user, so maybe "automatically" is a misnomer - but the diagnosis process feels very snappy

I think it's implemented and demoed in the Quattro release

Omarchy Quattro is pretty dang good. It's a lot more than any shell script I've written, certainly. If you've written a more complex one I'd love to see it. Having agents in the default environment, having everything con

I have a pretty similar approach to this. I built a sexp DSL for spec and I have a "compiler" which does static analysis checks and linting.

I built a Lisp interpreter and hosted it on an OCaml http core, and it does exactly this for me. I've been using it for the last three months for basically all my computing. I always wanted a Smalltalk type environment, and this finall

I'd love to know more about your experience on this, generally. What have you been doing in Lean? How have you approached this?

I hadn't heard of BDD before, but the idea of "executable spec" is certainly very interesting

That's good to know. The open weight models are still pretty awful getting stuck in this loop

Thanks, appreciate this also, vibe coding in my own lisp and this has been frustrating

I'm interested in this but why those four separate languages Edit: okay I read the code, it's actually four separate implementations

How do you teach LLMs to close parens properly??

Yeah, I felt this way too, and it's probably beyond the capacity of the federal government to organize in this way - but it is theoretically possible that the DOE could build a copyright respecting model (which it seems like they are d

It would be extremely interesting to me if the usgov produces a model which honors copyright and is also useful. This would give them extreme leverage over the labs, who may be violating copyright in significant and obvious ways.

They are both the differentiator. AI previously provided speed but not quality. As soon as quality reached an acceptable threshold, the speed became the reigning factor. In my opinion the quality is still much lower, but speed means the cos

Even if you're sour on American exceptionalism, this seems like a valid and good product to me, both from a privacy standpoint and from an ethical labor standpoint? Am I the only one who remembers the suicide nets at Foxconn?

I stuck a lisp interpreter inside a web server and its a pretty cool pattern. I do have a basic harness but I'm still kind of just using the REPL from an external agent over REST, which seems to work just as well without having to go t

Isn't React specifically an attempt to build an immediate mode UI on top of the DOM?

Isn't that literally React? I find it so immeasurably funny that in his effort to simplify code and invent immediate mode UI, Casey Muratori accidentally invented React

My understanding is that js_of_ocaml has been around longer and likely has a stronger ecosystem, but Melange was designed more specifically to play nice with the JS ecosystem.
