From the Abstract Heresies blog: "Githack is a Lisp object store that uses Git as its backend."

For sure. Its code output is definitely not to be fully trusted. Oftentimes, you can point at where it made a mistake and it usually fixes it too.

Apparently, the Series library offers that. It didn't make it into the ANSI standard, but it's still maintained and covered in CLtL2. edit SICP has examples on how to implement streaming (in Scheme).

From what I've seen, "AI" is typically written with the "Roman" (latin) letters, or translated as 人工知能 (AI) or as 生成AI (generative AI like LLMs).

Wikipedia is right; the romanization is just matching how it's rendered in kana.

I think your post pretty well illustrates how LLMs can and can't work. Favoriting this so I can point people to it in the future. I see so many extreme opinions on it like from how LLM is basically AGI to how it's "total garb

One approach would be to write code first, then run it by AI to get a critique. I think that strikes a good balance between avoiding atrophy and still getting the benefits of the tool.

If I create an executable with SBCL's save-lisp-and-die then run that executable, it presents a repl. Not really a development scenario, but more of a "running application" scenario. But, even then, if the executable creates

When I saw the headline, I thought it referred to "Q" the array programming language (looks like your first link).

I didn't know about M-? ... I like how if there's only 1 match it automatically jumps to that single reference. :)

I liked the convention of putting the TLD in parentheses after each link.

Maybe substack?

Thank you, I'll check it out!

I like LoL alright too. I was only maybe a year or so into CL when I read it, so I didn't really notice a lot of what it's criticized for. On the one hand, I'm a little sad that I see it bagged on so much (that link from beac

My opinion of LOOP started to change when I read (the much maligned) "Land of Lisp" and went over that "periodic" diagram in TFA. Seeing the elements of LOOP broken down like that went a long way to get me to overcome my

> There is no such thing as an LLM 'session'. This matches my understanding too, at least how it works with Open AI. To me, that would explain why there's a 20 or 30 question limit for a conversation, because the necessary

Maybe consider adding a highlight to the search term in the (filtered) text.

I do not. These days I would reach for a shell script for general scripting, filling in the gaps with maybe a C# console app or something in Common Lisp if I want/need some interactivity. Something that happens pretty frequently is I&#

OK, here's a pretty niche blast from the past: the boo programming language. It ran on the CLR (.NET) and had syntax similar to python. I recall using it back around 2006 - 2008 because it offered scripting features for .NET on Windows
