Thank you. Was just wondering because the items in the Changelog look.... LLMish. Not something I'd have expected from OpenBSD. On the other hand, it looks like they've done a bunch of improvements I'd have assumed…
When I read the Changelog I had to check if it was April Fools day. Is this a real OpenBSD release? Feels early. Also, many of those changes don't sound like real OpenBSD changes.
Check out this port of microgpt to C, posted 5 months ago. It got a 2500x speedup over the python version. https://github.com/moebiusV/cugpt
It trades thermal batteries for electrical batteries. Good choice. Bury it in the ground and have a few hundred pounds of pig iron ingots to be the thermal battery, you're gold. I'd even use lead weights, covered with…
And claude is back up.
Have you looked at newlisp? It has pretty seamless interop with C pointers.
Glad to hear he said that. He is right.
Amazon generally has a "pre-order" option. If there was a pre-order option, I also would order your book. By the time your book is in print, I will have forgotten about it. Fascinating topic; nice to see good coverage.…
A fexpr (funny expression) is a runtime macro. It is a funcall where the arguments are evaluated at runtime not compile time. picolisp, newlisp, and I think lisp 1.5 had fexprs.
I define "winter" as the time honeybees don't fly. Summer bees don't fly below 13 Celsius, and winter bees don't fly below 8 Celcius. Winter bees are the first ones out of the hive in spring, raising up the summer bees…
I've read the first few pages. Looks like an interesting paper and I'll read it further. Only flaw is that it doesn't cover Steve Russell being the first to discover/invent continuations. Steve Russell was the first…
Yep. And back in the 1970's Chuck Moore wrote a book describing the implementation and design of FORTH, and it is pretty close to LISP. And I asked Chuck Moore directly, in person, if there was a connection to LISP, and…
Thank you, I'll take a look. I thought they were cooked in oil, how would I find out if they were air or oil fried?
In Canada, whole wheat flour doesn't contain these additives. I spoke to the CFIA (Canada Food Inspection Agency) and they told me their rules and regulations. Whole wheat doesn't have additives, anything else does.…
If there are any brands of whole wheat (unenriched), air fried ramen noodles available in Canada or North America, please post here. Been wanting them for 3 years now. Enriched flour has been linked to diabetes and…
Where can you buy these atta ramen? In Canada, any wheat flour that isn't atta, has various "enrichments" added in, such as ferrous sulfate and B vitamin complexes which mess with your appetite and inflame your…
You can get Japanese Knotweed powder from Montana Farmacy. It helped a friend of mine he is now functional. One or two tablespoons a day.
Me too, thanks for that set of links. Any links on connecting it up to Google's Cloud AI stuff to train it to recognize the crack-heads when they are peeking in the windows of peoples cars and rattling the doors of…
Kind of like LISP. When I read McCarthy's original papers, it had that same feeling of simplicity, and you could easily see how it mapped directly to the hardware. Original papers are often the best. Chuck Moores book…
The one that really did make a dramatic difference is notable because it didn't have the human voice involved. I'm talking about the Star Wars theme. In that one, the difference between major and minor was dramatic. But…
I don't think he is tone deaf. I have a good ear for pitch, but I'm not a trained musician. I could hear minor differences in most of those songs, but the difference was minor, not dramatic. When I'm listening to music,…
Don, thank you for all the details. I've enjoyed your writings since I found your website in 2000. Too bad NeWS didn't take off. What would it take to revive it? Is the Linux framebuffer stable enough to have another go…
Thank you for explaining. I disagree, but then, I started with the Commodore 64 and BASIC, and have missed them ever since. C and LISP version 1 sort of fit in the same space. I hate any language that hides the machine…
In that thread, it mentiond that NeWS had "problems". Can you tell us what those problems were?
With a description like that, he's got one confirmed pre-sale of that book. I'd pay up to $50 for it. Especially if he tells us what are the dozen core API calls that could replace X.
