#SoftwareIndividuals

Notes from Kent about #commonLisp conditions

- portable computing viz my new #sbc setup.

My #softwareIndividuals + #itchio #softwareDistribution theme

New lispy gopher climate banner, with the times for anonradio (Tuesday night in the americas) and toobnix peertube (Sunday morning in europe)

Now that #itchio is not snowed under (more attacks?), I added the fipa-time.leo #lisp #softwareIndividuals file *on itch.io* here.

https://lispy-gopher-show.itch.io/leonardo-calculus/purchase

Indicating "no" takes you to a list of downloadable files if you want to look at what it is like

(being this one, and when I was thinking about using tarballs - but for a variety of reasons I think one human and machine readable nice ascii/s-exp/text is better than a blob of too many text files to read).

Slightly flaky article in which I lock in my choice of the #programming hill I will die on. ( #commonLisp , Leonardo #SoftwareIndividuals).

https://screwlisp.small-web.org/momentary/about-the-victory/

I have been getting some questions about the air of conclusion and victory around some of my new years writing.

Put another way, in my opinion I have a complete stack and it is mostly unlikely to change. Because that had been consuming me over the course of several years, it feels momentous to me (I'm finished being consumed?).

#itchio #devlog

in which I use #tar like it says on the cereal box to distribute a knowledgebase (the knowledge is how the #softwareIndividuals can put a message in emacs' minibuffer).

https://lispy-gopher-show.itch.io/leonardo-calculus/devlog/1144437/making-a-leonardo-calculus-knowledgebase-archive-for-itchio-distribution-experiment-knowledge-to-make-emacs-minibuffer-messages

It is a little far from gamedev as such, but you can imagine that if you are playing dwarf fortress, getting the message that your master engraver has been struck by a fey mood put on your screen when it happens is an important feature for your fortress to keep you in the loop.

I was sick yesterday sorry, and today to get back in the rhythm redid my holistic README post- my- own- #emacsconf for my #LeonardoCalculus #softwareIndividuals
https://codeberg.org/tfw/pawn-75
In which I have an agent periodically send a stylized date to its host individuals' host emacs' minibuffer.

I aim to transcribe and public -ify up the first part of the Pitman Errors video before the show today. #lisp #commonLisp #emacs

Screenshot of an emacs buffer where a loop running on the left side slime repl has pitched an action to the right side leonardo software individual which sent a time/date "half past 17 o'clock, Dec 16, 2025." to the emacs minibuffer. Darkfield, nox.

I guess here is the #emacsconf youtube of my talk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy5i6Qb6fYE #commonLisp #softwareIndividuals

I segue from #emacs #orgmode to emacs #eev (hey, this talk in several hours is on eev by @eduardoochs https://emacsconf.org/2025/talks/modern/ )

Contrasting how complex and intractable org's tangle and weave are from a very literal eev style executable log. Then I present and run my #lisp software that when turned on pops an emacs lisp list every 30 seconds and does a sequence of actions therein.

Lispy gopher Sandewall show banner. The gopher reaches down to the lisp alien's nose-hand from atop a building under moonlight and stars. The building has a picture of Erik Sandewall with MAKE AI THINK written on it. Some weekly show details.

#orgmode orgfile #emacs segueing into #eev for my #emacsconf talk this weekend. https://screwlisp.small-web.org/software-individuals/script-for-emacsconf-this-weekend-video-org/

about my #leonardoCalculus #softwareIndividuals #agent #programming . Actually, in the talk I recorded, I forgot to write (ok-record) somewhere. However the interactive investigation while the agent continues doing its own thing kind of highlighted a point about it. This document is a later revision than the one in the actual talk.

I think my talk is titled " #commonlisp " on the schedule.

#alife #ai #reflection #BDI #crows for my #commonLisp #emacs #slime #eepitch #caisor #softwareIndividuals #programming (I guess this is particularly #softwareEngineering ).

https://screwlisp.small-web.org/complex/after-alife-talk-practical-thoughts/

I consider the scenario where one vehicle tells another one where to get food, and run a #thoughtExperiment with crow tool use. I find programs want to alternate autonomous action with human-in-the-loop interpretive collaboration.

#programming #softwareEngineering #computerHistory #bibliography #Sandewall #softwareIndividuals #LISP #CAISOR
https://screwlisp.small-web.org/complex/Sandewall-caisor-bibliography/

My promised bibliography of open-access CAISOR #AI articles from the 1960s-2010s. Each citation links into https://codeberg.org/tfw/pawn-75 's collected oddities. Because I focused on preserving rarities such as draft versions of papers from the 60s and a single sentence article with JOHN overwrote onto it, my collection should be regarded as a primary archive.

And its relation to #softwareIndividuals, control problems with #AI as such.

LISPY GOPHER SHOW

#UNIX_SURREALISM by @prahou@merveilles.town

The lisp alien and gopher wade through flooded wreckage flanked by two demons, carrying radio equipment. The lisp alien's nose-hand is carrying a microphone.

#programming #knowledgeRepresentation #engineering #gamedev #lispgamejam #lisp https://screwlisp.small-web.org/programming/intro-software-individuals-knowledgebases/
in which I introduce creating knowledgebases in my #softwareIndividuals in a brief and heartwarming way. I put a new value in the entity inside the knowledgebase defining the knowledgebase to add a dependency to another knowledgebase. #intro #demo

Birds were removed from plants+insects+birds for time budget reasons.

@shizamura how far afield is my useage from what you do srsly?

Truncated rendered markdown of

Telling active-simulations-kb that it mustload (i.e. depends on) simulation-base-kb
loadk active-simulations-kb
setk active-simulations-kb
put active-simulations-kb mustload {simulation-base-kb}
writefil active-simulations-kb
loadk active-simulations-kb
And we can see in the other half of our screen:

ses.013) loadk active-simulations-kb
Load-ef: active-simulations-kb at ../../../demus/Active-simulations/active-simulations-kb.leo
Load-ef: simulation-base-kb at ../../../demus/Simulation-base/simulation-base-kb.leo

ses.014)
so we added the knowledge that active-simulations-kb first mustload the simulation-base-kb when it is loadked.

What the persisted knowledge looks like

#programming #engineering #emacs #eev #eepitch #markdown #md #intro #howto
https://screwlisp.small-web.org/programming/my-own-eev-eepitch-emacs-intro/
Capturing how I have started programming recently. In an md markdown document, I just weave in eev's red star lines and pitch other lines. Since eev 'inhabits other things' naturally, eepitch makes plain markdown into a powerful interactive evaluation mode.

The eepitching includes #shell #lisp #elisp #commonLisp and my #softwareIndividuals #KRF in the kind of freeform medley it lends itself to.

A truncated rectangle of vanilla whitefield emacs markdown document with eev eepitching woven in:
mkdir -p ~/leocommunity

```

Pressing `<F8>` either evaluates a red star line as

I don't get what happened with that markdown table either.

I also add the #types for bird insect plant in my #softwareIndividuals KRF.

Very interested in feedback and commentary, hearing how your jam is doing.

My #softwareIndividuals thing, #emacs mode writing, @akater 's cl-el https://framagit.org/akater/cl-el/-/blob/master/el.org , maybe knowledge-based #ai generally. Some notes from the past week. Jostle me towards your personal favourite topics.

@iacore
One thing about using #emacs is that there is no additional work in spawning one #slime repl for awake #softwareIndividuals , and there is no additional work having one repl drive others using (swank:eval-in-emacs "'(do something in the other slime repl)"). I believe this is well preservable using Akater's elisp-in-lisp (Lem supports slime, after all). I'm not sure if slimv is so convenient; it should be, shouldn't it?

I guess "real" multiprocessing with mpi eventually.
