2025-05-08 13:02:08 +0200 <hellwolf> But we pursue a different goal.
2025-05-08 13:02:01 +0200 <hellwolf> if all your end goal is to tell machine to do whatever you want it to do, then yes, it's pointless.

2025-05-08 13:01:45 +0200 <JuanDaugherty> u FP ppl
2025-05-08 13:01:44 +0200 <hellwolf> I think that's the crust why many don't understand FP's appeal
2025-05-08 13:01:27 +0200 <JuanDaugherty> they dont have to understand the code to use it
2025-05-08 13:01:19 +0200 <hellwolf> But, we FP people is looking for a different relation with the machine: how can we be told by math to do the right thing using the machien?
2025-05-08 13:01:11 +0200 <JuanDaugherty> well no, that's not required
2025-05-08 13:01:06 +0200 <darkling> hellwolf: Missal? Are we back to the inaccessible cardinals again?
2025-05-08 13:00:44 +0200 <hellwolf> that makes people who work on it, self-labeled programmers, think they are powerful.
2025-05-08 13:00:32 +0200 <JuanDaugherty> is there some stunning copilot or llm stuffs with hs i dont know about?
2025-05-08 13:00:06 +0200 <JuanDaugherty> can u?

2025-05-08 12:59:42 +0200 <hellwolf> you can ask it to do whatever it can, so long it has the access to the external world, including launching a missle

2025-05-08 12:59:19 +0200 <hellwolf> turing-complete machine is such an amazing beast.
2025-05-08 12:58:08 +0200 <JuanDaugherty> but it's still "what is this shit?"

2025-05-08 12:57:30 +0200 <JuanDaugherty> something like that must be how the typical programming IT worker of today views hs except that now know u can do stuff

2025-05-08 12:51:26 +0200 <JuanDaugherty> i didn think it (ML) actually did useful, non theoretical programming

2025-05-08 12:48:54 +0200 <hellwolf> with conclave and inaccessible cardinals?
2025-05-08 12:48:25 +0200 <JuanDaugherty> i thought the uni just glommed onto haskell and it originated in some amorphose global academic ML cloud
2025-05-08 12:47:09 +0200 <JuanDaugherty> i.e. ML was 2 years, unclear when I first heard of it but b6 1980

2025-05-08 12:45:48 +0200 <JuanDaugherty> i didn realize how straight and well penciled the line was from ML to haskell and GHC

2025-05-08 12:45:11 +0200 <JuanDaugherty> it was 2 years b4 i wrote my first program
2025-05-08 12:44:47 +0200 <JuanDaugherty> i was speculating when i first heard of ML, if it coulda been in the '70s
