I thought it was made city status a while back too!

Yes, I've also found llms can generate working common lisp code quite well, albeit I've only been solving simple problems.

I haven't tried integrating it into a repl or even command line tools though. The llm can't experience the benefit of a repl so it makes sense it struggled with it and preferred feeing entire programs into sbcl each time.

Maybe so you can communicate with it via tools like iMessage? Not so it can impersonate you. People will 100% be doing both though, security be damned.

I think there was a phase of repeated breakages a while back, but things seem to have stabilised.

Fixes are released quickly ime too.

For a good intro the Sleepbot Environmental Broadcast radio is well worth listening to. Also their write up on how and why they produce the broadcast is really interesting.

Check out chorded keyboards. They've been a thing for a very long time. At least since early 00s or 90s when I saw them first. They are held one handed have 5 keys and you get different letters by chording multiple keys together.

I also eat those yes. Something I don't see mentioned for a high protein diet often is gram flour. 22g protein per 100g and can be made into socca very quickly and easily with just water and small amount of oil.

But in practice don't most people mean tofu when talking about soy beans for protein? That tends to come out at 10-13g per 100g. Same for cooked cans of soy/edamme beans and most other canned lentils/pulses? I've never seens 30g per 100g for cooked canned beans in reality.

I eat a high protein, vegetarian diet optimised for lifting weights, and "Approximately no additional grams, if you pick the right legumes." doesn't really add up for me. For the main sources of protein I usually try to eat daily:

Tofu 400g; eggs 3 large; cottage cheese (low-fat) 300g; greek yoghurt (0% fat) 250g; beans/lentils (mixed) 1-3 cans;

and then also supplement with whey protein powder to get to my daily protein target (~150g). To get there with just legumes I'd need to consume 15 cans of cooked lentils (i.e. not achieveable in reality).

Has anyone invited an LLM inside their lisp process that can be accessed from the repl? Being able to empower an LLM to be able to affect the running lisp image (compile functions etc), and having changes reflected back to the source on disk would be interesting.

I have a feeling that Le Guin didn't speak or read Chinese when creating her version, I think she outlines the process in the preface. That might explain the similarities you've noticed?

Nowt is used in the north of England to mean nothing.

Yes things that were broken for me by default are explorer, notepad (using it with files over a network), calendar pop up, and start menu. And don't get me started on the UI of the sound/battery/network widget.

Every day I'm reminded of something I think Jo Armstrong said in a talk, paraphrased "Ah, an update! Maybe they made it better ;)".

Oh wow, the wiki / project looks fantastically interesting. I've bookmarked it for a deeper read in the future.

Yes I did mean reversed.
