Designing user interfaces with bots not buttons

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-21 23:22:25

I’ve seen a couple of examples recently of how super simple “bots” are replacing bits of user interface. I feel like this is a trend connected with the return of VR. I am in love with the virtual events platform Skittish which is a 3D cartoon world (where everyone is a low-poly animal) for running multiplayer online parties, conferences, workshops etc. RECOMMENDATION: Hit the “Try it now” button in the top right of their homepage and run around the sandbox.

Quirks of Common Lisp Types

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-12 12:06:42

By Colin on 2025-08-30 "But I need types," he told me. Humans have a tendency toward binary thinking (pardon the pun). If it's not A, it's B. Perhaps because Lisps have REPLs, they are often thought of from the outside as being dynamic, interpreted languages. Our years of Python have taught us that such languages don't really have strong typing - it's all a wild guess until the interpreter calls foo on a and b and we find out who everyone really is. Yet Common Lisp is fully typed, and AOT com

Seed: Interactive software environment based on Common Lisp

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-28 16:57:19

Seed Seed is an interactive software environment. With it you can create and use computer programs in many ways. It is based on the Common Lisp language and runs inside the Web browser, allowing you to build software on a local or remote computer system, and it can present programs and their output using a wide variety of display modes. Seed depicts programs in the form of a tree grid, featuring glyphs that denote different functions and types of data. All of Seed's display modes share basic in

Coalton Playground: Type-Safe Lisp in the Browser

Coalton Playground: Type-Safe Lisp in Your Browser I wanted to share a side project I’ve been tinkering with for a while and finally got around to shipping: Coalton Playground – basically a web-based REPL for Coalton, which is this interesting statically-typed Lisp dialect. So What’s Coalton? If you haven’t heard of it, Coalton is kind of a weird (in a good way) mashup – it takes Haskell’s type system and plants it right in the middle of Common Lisp. You get all the type safety stuff like alg

But in their limited data set, Hong’s team found and validated over 800 faces that the algorithm had missed, and they estimated that overall, the algorithm had missed 102 million faces in the entire data set.

Silence is a Commons by Ivan Illich Computers are doing to communication what fences did to pastures and cars did to streets. by Ivan Illich Minna-san, gladly I accept the honour of addressing this forum on Science and Man. The theme that Mr. Tsuru proposes, "The Computer-Managed Society," sounds an alarm. Clearly you foresee that machines which ape people are tending to encroach on every aspect of people's lives, and that such machines force people to behave like machines. The

While "there's not a ton of evidence out there to firmly say one supplement is going to help you over another," Mysore said, glucosamine likely has the most evidence backing its use. Glucosamine naturally occurs in our bodies -- it's in your cartilage and helps your joints function. A glucosamine supplement is believed to help with arthritis in that it can bring down some of the pain brought on by osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.

Lisp-Stat is conceptually similar to R and will be familiar to most people from that ecosystem. It is suitable for both exploratory data analysis as well as front-line production deployments. Common Lisp is currently used at Google in several high-availability, high-volume transactional systems. Why Lisp? We had a few requirements when evaluating options.
