Yooo, based website, hank! Mine was inspired by Xerox PARC and the Interlisp

Correct, that's why I made it! :)

Thank you, I am glad you like it, haha! I was inspired by Xerox PARC stuff, mostly Interlisp! :)

Well, I've had success loading Lisp programs into Autolith and letting it poke at them from the inside, haha!

(disclaimer: I made Autolith) Well, having the agent write out tools and call those tools is something I consider to be under self-modification also. But there are other things, when it's useful: - You want the agent to update without

On the other hand, the more mainstream a programming language, the higher proportion of the training data is going to be terrible code. I think there's an optimal ratio somewhere

It's not just the syntax, but also the tools for debugging, the image paradigm itself, and the iterative approach to development! Autolith can spawn managed Lisp REPLs either from saved images (so it can do checkpoints) and triage chan

Hi, I'm the author of Autolith! Never heard about Jolt, and I love Chez Scheme, it was my first Lisp! Would you like to come to our Zulip at https://zulip.lambda-symbolics.com ? We can exchange ideas for our harnesses

Hi, I am the author of Autolith. What do you mean by that? I'd love to give you a good answer, haha

by magnusi 25d ago
(author of autolith here) This all correct, I'd also add that in my experience, the GPTs are even better at Lisp, namely in the counting parentheses department. Which is not an issue that much per-se because in Autolith, the harness de

It's the most flexible language there is, while also fairly performant and having great features for extensibility and debugging

Thank you!

There is a Common Lisp pro you are not seeing and that is that it has by far the best OOB debuggability/introspectability (especially when using SBCL) out of any practical language, while still having great performance

Well, I made Autolith in Common Lisp because I like Lisp and I think it's by far the best and most practical language for self-modifiable live image agents. I have been trying Scheme and CL with LLMs for the last three years or so, and

Hi! I was thinking about Smalltalk as well before I made Autolith. I ended up going with Common Lisp because I know Lisp much better (last time I used smalltalk was like, whew, 2014 or so) and because it has better platform support and ecos

We have not done that yet, it's one of the major priorities. Autolith implements RLM a bit differently than Prime Agent (although it both comes from the same paper): In Autolith, the top level agent is traditional, but has RLM tools wh

Hello guys, I am the author of Autolith (github.com/luciusmagn), I am pretty new to Hacker News. I will respond to your posts as soon as I can :)

Yeah, I find that it is one of the best ideas C2 brings to the table
24.
by magnusi 10y ago
Yes, I really like explicit integer sizes too and yes. C2 is trying to be as close to C as possible, with just improving what is "bad" or cumbersome, so some things like the fall-through are still there. You can certainly mix lang

Oh I am sorry, I made a stupid typo.
