Nitpick of the nitpick... Temperature is actually an intensive quantity, i.e. combining two subsystems with the same temperature yields a bigger system with the same temperature, not twice bigger.
The anthropologist Philippe Descola with his main work Beyond Nature and Culture has been trying to classify the nature/culture relations by studying comparatively several societies.
Author here. Plagiarism is the most sincere form of flattery. I've never used lisp, but its nice to know that good ideas do, sometimes, eventually make their way into mainstream languages.
it's similar, but Lisp was rarely "batch first" or "batch only", it was already coming from 100% interactivity and then adding compilation as subsystem. So running code during compilation is the default, for example with Lisp macros, which are normal functions. The software being compiled can add arbitrary code to the compilation environment.
The traditional idea "compiled language" usually means a language designed for mostly batch compilation -> the compiler is not a part of the (potential) execution runtime. "compile time" and "run time" are not the same. In Lisp it is allowed to be the same.
There is an expanding field of study looking at machine learning with statistical physics tools. While there is still a lot of work to do in this area, it yields interesting insights on neural networks, e.g. linking their training with the evolution of spin glasses (a typical statistical physics problem). We can even talk about phase transition and universal exponents.
Most of the research is done with simpler models though (because mainly math people do it, and it's hard to prove anything on something as complex as a transformer).
I feel like it would have been nicer to have a perfect match with orgmode syntax (e.g. they use square brackets instead of chevrons for time stamps). It would make migration easier... Really impressive project nonetheless!
Org mode actually uses both square and angle brackets for timestamps [1], but the square-ones are inactive, i.e. they don't show up in the agenda view. I guess the angle ones are the most useful, though.
This is a real project, this guy wrote a compiler, to convert common lisp to GLSL (I'm not talking about a simple DSL with code generation, but also type checking and so on).
In his Livestreams, he usually try to implement a specific 3D feature (like triplanar mapping, the Phong of lighting, ...).
Everything is done in a single window, with the program being recompiled while running, pure lisp style.
He is on a hiatus right now though with livestreams, but there is plenty of material already to watch ...
and is made of 8″x8″ cards. That's the first constellation I made, most of the output is either stand alone 4″x6″ cards or constellations. I'm working now on my third constellation from images published by Ukraine's MoD.
I've been dragging on my feet about blogging a manifesto for the three-sided cards, first because the system was changing by the day (it was a big thing for me to realize I could eliminate paper jams by printing the back side first) and then because I found hugo is good for anything except things that involve quantitative thinking or artistic sensibilities. I am still looking for a static site generator that's the equal of the subjects I want to blog about.
