Dion Bridger
Your background looks so much more human than in the early streams

Hi BartholomewJS
BartholomewJS
@Dion Bridger Greetings, nice to see you.
Mario GT
and from Santiago Chile!
Dion Bridger
@Mario GT hola
Mario GT
Hola amigo!
Dion Bridger
the first AGI will learn to reprogram itself from Xah's website
Dion Bridger
I've long contemplated creating a form of "notebook" software that would allow the content compile to HTML
Dion Bridger
tiddlywiki is sort of similar but a bit underpowered IMO
Mario GT
Im now copying this great function to my .emacs , thanks Xah!
Virtua[B[ue)Sky
Have you looked into asynchronous Emacs libs like async, aio, etc?
Dion Bridger
Question: I know how you do not like latex for mathematical documents - you know of a good alternative?
BartholomewJS
@Xah Lee With your HTTP website, anyone could've hacked you already.
BartholomewJS
Artificial General Intelligence
Virtua[B[ue)Sky
Artificual General Intelligence?
Dion Bridger
AGI=artificial general intelligence
Dion Bridger
No but I will watch it :)
Dion Bridger
you know the exact title?

hello xah

Been writing an async Emacs "plugin" for 2+ user shared editing framework for uni. After i started looking into eww.el and tried to make it faster with the same async libs. Why has this not been done?
Dion Bridger
I don't think anyone uses eww.el for tasks complex enough to warrant it
Mario GT
I have a hate-love relation with RS jajaja
Virtua[B[ue)Sky
I use eww for most things, except youtube etc
Virtua[B[ue)Sky
If you use shrface and mod shr.el a bit, you can make it look pretty and behave like org (fold
, ... etc).
Dion Bridger
are you one of the "emacs is my OS" types? :P
Emily
Hey hey
Virtua[B[ue)Sky
You could parse the websites with an external browser like chromium, or firefox to avoid js shhit problems
Dion Bridger
@Emily from logistics?
Virtua[B[ue)Sky
Emacs is to unstable to be used as a os, use a lot of other tools as well externally. Emacs has such a fucking amazing framework and when you get used to the keybindings u cannot get away.
BartholomewJS
@Xah Lee There is a website (I'd rather call it a meme) that asks you if you allow ALL cookies. If you choose "No", you will be redirected to its website with like 10 instead of thousands of articles.
BartholomewJS
@Xah Lee Basically you either choose "Yes" or you cannot use their website.
ALTUS
Guile Emacs?
Dion Bridger
I read that the words hack & hacker started being used in programming because John Nash shouted that as a pejorative at lesser mathematicians
PixelOutlaw
I'll take that term over the "ninja guru rockstar" garbage in the corporate hiring world.
Dion Bridger
I do think it's apposite that "hack" started as a term of scorn from a *mathematician*, and people who shun formal methods like to describe themselves as hackers
Kapustin Alexander
Your camera right on the code. Mb y can move you camera to the right side ?
Virtua[B[ue)Sky
@Xah Lee Yeah, did a similar thing when i made a program to search a lot of PDFs, by compiling them to text, reformatting them with regexp then just ripgrep. With the result in org, worked pretty good
PixelOutlaw
Once you add threads then you have to recall which functions are thread safe and which are not.
Virtua[B[ue)Sky
Race conditions would be hell
Emily
@Dion Bridger - a very old in-joke from the can discord server that i have my name set to :p
Emily
s/can/Xah
Dion Bridger
@Emily you don't work in logistics? I feel scandalized
Emily
Aha, no - i work as a software engineer - it came about from automating package stuff in an OS :D
Dion Bridger
I think we've only had one non-programmer in Xah's discord as far as I've seen
Dion Bridger
Xah do you have time to do a demo for us of typesetting in Mathematica? :)
Dion Bridger
or the other thing ( Wolfram Desktop was it? )
Kapustin Alexander
Can i write wolfram code in my editor? For example in emacs or vim? Oh no?? Not opensource?
Dion Bridger
@Kapustin Alexander you can write it in your editor and execute it via wolframscript but not sure that would be a good workflow
Kapustin Alexander
I mean workflow like in ipython jupyter in emacs . But right, i think it is not a good idea)
Virtua[B[ue)Sky
Xah's math mode and yasnipped is amaze
Dion Bridger
Good rant.
Dion Bridger
Thanks Xah.
Kapustin Alexander
😀
Dion Bridger
Whenever I tell someone I work in software the first thing I'm asked is if I know how to hack into computers. As if anyone would admit such a thing
Daniel Langlois
hi!
Daniel Langlois
how does Kevin Mitnick use the word 'hacker'?
Dion Bridger
@Daniel Langlois Hi
methodinsane
Richard Stallman refers to hackers as subversives and loves to us the word Hack. Even gnu is a "recursive hack" in his words. Gnu is Not Unix.
BartholomewJS
@Daniel Langlois Greetings, I suppose you're a bit late.
Dion Bridger
Adios
Emily
Thanks for the stream Xah!
Dion Bridger

Hey Xah. I see the mustache is gone.
BartholomewJS
@Xah Lee See you next scream.
