2026-02-04 13:49:13 +0100 <[exa]> (I'm busy starting Lecture Gists in Computer Science)
2026-02-04 13:48:59 +0100 <mesaoptimizer> btw, did the FP complete people create Stack, and then move on to Rust?
2026-02-04 13:48:53 +0100 <[exa]> lovely
2026-02-04 13:45:50 +0100 <int-e> [exa]: there's also this 4chan story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superpermutation#Lower_bounds,_or_the_Haruhi_problem

2026-02-04 13:38:18 +0100 <tomsmeding> [exa]: here, the first weakness over arxiv spotted
2026-02-04 13:37:38 +0100 <haskellbridge> <Morj> And a restriction on having directories which is annoying

2026-02-04 13:37:24 +0100 <haskellbridge> <Morj> Yes you can, github gists are just a repository with a weird interface
2026-02-04 13:34:20 +0100 <opqdonut> I'm pretty sure I've done it
2026-02-04 13:33:53 +0100lucabtz(~lucabtz@user/lucabtz) lucabtz
2026-02-04 13:32:46 +0100tomsmedingnow wonders if you can force-push to gists
2026-02-04 13:32:42 +0100machinedgod(~machinedg@d75-159-126-101.abhsia.telus.net) machinedgod
2026-02-04 13:32:34 +0100 <tomsmeding> [exa]: also gists have public edit history
2026-02-04 13:32:32 +0100 <int-e> [exa]: you can always cits such things as "personal communcation" :P

2026-02-04 13:28:59 +0100 <[exa]> int-e: <3 <3 <3 publishing on a non-public chat <3 <3 <3 never thought about the advantages
2026-02-04 13:27:14 +0100 <tomsmeding> right, gists also have the obvious (?) advantage of being public
2026-02-04 13:26:58 +0100 <tomsmeding> ^
2026-02-04 13:26:41 +0100 <int-e> Better than Discord.
2026-02-04 13:25:39 +0100 <tomsmeding> at least gists have a unique ID
2026-02-04 13:25:33 +0100 <tomsmeding> I've seen worse

2026-02-04 13:20:52 +0100 <[exa]> I love how github gists serve as primary research communication vessel there

2026-02-04 13:07:02 +0100 <tomsmeding> yeah
2026-02-04 13:06:25 +0100 <gentauro> Account renamed to VictorTaelin.)
2026-02-04 13:06:20 +0100 <gentauro> tomsmeding: it's the same person -> https://github.com/maiavictor (

2026-02-04 12:54:12 +0100 <mesaoptimizer> went from Haskell to Rust to C IIRC
2026-02-04 12:54:11 +0100 <tomsmeding> well interaction nets is what it was all about anyway from the start
2026-02-04 12:53:58 +0100 <mesaoptimizer> he's gotten very distracted rewriting his interaction nets compiler
2026-02-04 12:53:56 +0100 <tomsmeding> name matches, in any case

2026-02-04 12:53:41 +0100 <mesaoptimizer> https://xcancel.com/VictorTaelin/ do you mean this guy?
2026-02-04 12:53:32 +0100 <tomsmeding> but this does fancy evaluation strategies + had a hype cycle a few years back, so fits your description

2026-02-04 12:52:58 +0100 <tomsmeding> I dunno
2026-02-04 12:52:49 +0100 <[exa]> but where's the explanation with the MAGIC gif
2026-02-04 12:52:16 +0100 <gentauro> tomsmeding: yeah, that's who I'm thinking of
2026-02-04 12:51:31 +0100 <tomsmeding> *over
2026-02-04 12:51:25 +0100 <tomsmeding> yeah graph reduction evaluation strategies for asymptotic performance improvements of standard evaluation
2026-02-04 12:51:07 +0100 <gentauro> Victor Maia is the guy doing crazy lambda calculus right?
2026-02-04 12:50:11 +0100 <tomsmeding> oh right it was renamed, I guess HVM now
