To people in the #lisp #emacs #programming space, I'm currently trying to get into learning Lisp as a programming language (as a hobby). My work mainly involves knowing python but like many people in physics, writing good code is never quite taught to us.

I would like to learn Lisp primarily out of interest but also it would benefit me iif the structure of Lisp itself would teach me good programming practices that I could use when writing python.

Keeping this in mind, are there any Lisp dialect recommendations? I've heard good things about Common lisp and Clojure, but would be interested if those (or any other dialect) would serve my purpose.

#CommonLisp #Scheme #Clojure #Lisp #coding

Sorry, but I write:

void Class:stuff()
{
for (int y = 0; y < h_; y++)
{
for (int x = 0; x < w_; x++)
{

}
}

Not

void Class::stuff() {
for (int y=0; y<h_; y++) {
for (int x=0; x<w_; x++) {

}
}

I'm human, I need visual space for reading code. I'm faster with the extra line breaks and spaces. And we have huge monitors these days anyway.

There are many cases of end users who are totally ignorant in LLM use cases

I've been able to educate one with success

When she realized that before her one query

• many megawatts were used to create the training regimen of the model
• Peta Bytes of copyrighted information was blatantly stolen without regard to ownership
• in turn sold for profit to companies
• while getting end users addicted to using them

...She realized what Destruction she was causing, on a Global Scale because she knows personally what Global Warming does in her Area of the Country were flooding regularly occurs due to Climate Shifts

New video: Let's Talk 0x01: LLMs and AI

I have to chime in when it comes to the topic that just doesn't want to die: LLMs and AI. What do I see as the issues with LLMs? Are they ok for use in retro computing projects? Are LLMs the work of the devil? Of course, there will be lots of opinions from myself in this video, but I try to be as objective as I can.

helo everyone. i've jst been informed that there is a new LLAMA variant, llama 4 scout, available on cloudflare workers AI. personally, i was planning on testing this on bsid-js in replacement of the llama 3.2 11b model we are currently using. anyone played with this #llama model under #cloudflare #workers #ai and recommend it? #coding #code .

Browser-Based Euro Office Clone

This is an experimental, local-first project designed to demonstrate client-side managed functionality without requiring any setup. By leveraging the FileSystem API, it offers a unique approach to storing files directly on your device from your browser.

Current Features:
- PWA (Progressive Web App)
- Local-first storage
- Word processor
- Spreadsheet tool
- PDF capability

Coming Soon:

- Support for more file types
- Storage synchronization
- Collaborative editing
- Encryption at rest
- P2P file-transfer

Long-Term Goals (Clones of):
- NextCloud
- WhatsApp
- Instagram
- WeTransfer

Note: This project is experimental, far from finished, and presented strictly for testing, feedback, and demo purposes (USE RESPONSIBLY!).

Check out the demo version and let me know your thoughts!

I've seen where Torvalds said that he considers them as just another tool in the Arsenal, he doesn't really care, if the code is good.

He doesn't want his time to be wasted  He'll scream and shout if an LLM creates that time pit

These following words an extreme version of me would say

It looks like you will have to stop using Linux. Since from your perspective anything that uses remotely an LLM is bad, you will have to stop, otherwise you will contribute to the environment being destroyed willingly and actively

In practice that is impossible. If you drive a modern car it has the Linux kernel. If you have a smart TV or more you're also using the tainted kernel. Even if you have a stick which also streams or a camera you will have a Linux kernel in many cases.

These LLMs are an infection of the planet's  code base

Since you're already using BSD a solution would be to cut using Linux on your computers drastically

Point me please, to projects which are heavily dependent on LLM code generation which are older than 10 years.

The Linux distributions I use,  have no code which is 100% LLM generated

React-like syntax with WebComponents.

​After spending some time with Lit, I really appreciated its lightweight footprint but wasn't a fan of the class-based components. While Vue offers a great approach, I still prefer the intuitive nature of React's syntax for debugging and deterministic rendering. This led me to a challenge: could I build a UI framework using WebComponents that completely eliminates the need for transpilation?

​I have written a breakdown of the concept, the architecture, and where I want to take it. I highly invite you to take a look, check out the code, and explore the live demo.

* How it works: https://positive-intentions.com/docs/projects/dim/dim-jsx-webcomponents
* Checkout the code: https://github.com/positive-intentions/dim
* Storybook demo: https://dim.positive-intentions.com

​Please note, while the project is open-source, this is a personal exploration rather than an attempt to launch "yet another framework." It is not production-ready and is built for my own upcoming project migrations, but I am sharing it in hopes that the methodology is educational or interesting to the community.

​I would love to hear your thoughts on this approach. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to discuss the implementation details.
