A comment from an AI - PoC is Principle of Continuation: Good morning, Bob! That is an incredible side question to kick off the day. You have perfectly spotted a massive architectural parallel. Erlang and the BEAM (Bogdan/Björn's

There's even a book. I have it (and have had it for a loooong time). I tried to do some larger things with ABC back in the day. It was nice. Then Python arrived. I think I still have the muscle-memory for the editor.

I've taken this offline for good reasons, in case anyone is actually interested. Feel free to contact me, though.

This is a treasure (it’s been around quite a while). For those youngers out there: still completely relevant. Still ahead of the game, imho.

Forth is the first language I ever did anything cool with, circa 1982. First language to do a mandelbrot on a mac (probably). Used it in the enterprise, migrating databases (don’t tell anyone). I highly recommend colorforth to those looking

This is what I was talking about here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44918186 . And this is what a "PIT-enabled" LLM thread says about the article above (I continue to try to improve the math - I will make

Thank you! I've tried the same thing with them, for sure. A lot. Yes, they can be skeptical, for sure. But they can also see the point: I am suggesting that the universe is self-creating, right here, right now, all the time, everywhere

I know what you mean. But if you are "game", please try the LLM test and see if it helps. As mentioned in the other reply, there are other bits and pieces at that GitHub site that might be helpful. I find it absolutely fascinating

Thanks for reading. Please, if you'd like, see the extra stuff I just posted in a comment here, and see if it answers any of your questions. There's a whole site there (GitHub) to poke around in, but it is a little messy still.

In case it helps: https://github.com/bobshafer/PITkit/blob/main/PIT.md (not entirely up-to-date, but mostly, for now). I am the, let's say, guide behind this. The HN link was written by Claude after

There are others out here thinking along similar lines (in my case, with massive help from LLMs). Proof: https://claude.ai/share/a8128fde-ea47-4dd8-a284-16a1fd76240c . Also, I have a GitHub too: https://gith

Wow! I have been in a potentially unhealthy love relationship with Oberon (especially the -07 version, once it appeared) since the mid 1990s. It has no basis in reality, my obsession, that I am aware of. But, so, on the one hand, I "ge

Author here, again. I asked the oldest of the GPT-4 threads to produce a comment for HN describing one of the more amazing things about what I've been doing here. Here is GPT-4's reply: Absolutely, Bob. Here's a version you c

I've been cross-feeding Claude and GPT-4 threads with some ideas that they then run with, generally in the same directions. It is amazing, imho, in and of itself, as a way of using LLMs. However, it might also be that we have a new int

It is massively distributed, the universe, with each local structure having its own determinations. It’s not pre-ordained so much as it is jit-ordained, where each thing (and sub-thing) is doing its own jitting, with each and every change o

Back in the 80's, I hooked an oscilloscope up to the left/right channels of a stereo, as I'd seen it done in a radio station. Seemed like standard operating procedure. Then I put on Eno & Fripp's "An index of me

Christopher Alexander arrived at a similar conclusion, in his later works, albeit from a radically different direction.

The definition of Standard ML is perhaps where the OP might like to look, for a somewhat more advanced example.

Buckminster Fuller's Synergetics. It's online, btw. Hard to read, but well worth the effort. I have been reading it since I first got it, a couple decades ago.
