A bit late to the party. I recommend SICP, On Lisp & Art of Metaobject Protocol. The last you can skip to some degree because its quite advanced so unless you want to stay in the Lisp world, not as useful IMO (but lovely from an intellectual perspective, its a masterpiece). SICP definitely IMO.

On Lisp is by Paul Graham and pretty good too, but again its kinda more Lisp focused. Actually try PAIP by Norvig, I heard that is really good and it should be more useful for non lispers (even though its a lisp based book, it teaches lots of good programming concepts)

This part is really interesting:

> It is fast - our spatial classifier takes only milliseconds to come to a conclusion about a page (there is additional time prior to this step due to the OpenCV processing - but not too much) and identify it and doesn’t require expensive hardware. Most of our instances run on ARM-64, which at least at AWS, is 30% or so cheaper than x86-64. The s-expression structures align to document structures nicely and allow a nice representation that doesn’t lose fidelity to the original layouts and hierarchies.

The article also mentioned they have 3 programmers and 100k lines of code, that sounds impressive.

Can somebody elaborate what is Mezzano and how it compares to Linux?

Well Mahatma Gandhi, who literally pioneered the Non-Violence Movement, never won the Peace Prize so any of its credibility has long been gone. In fact its probably better /not/ to win it.

I would have thought governments would be more worried about China spying on everyone and the insane data collection from TikTok (yes it might have an American operator in the US, but I can imagine they found a way to still siphon all that data to the mainland)...its a pretty big security risk if one thinks about it

Mostly text based mathematical analysis. I couldn't stick to Swift as it would rule out a large section of the potential audience (Linux / Win - although Kotlin, which is similar enough, could bridge the gap to some degree), so I'm going more down the Web App route. For now, most of my I/O is in Emacs and later I may plan to work on the GUI side (via Electron or Web App, maybe but very unlikely CAPI or some CFFI).

How about yourself? Do you still do programming in AI?
