Hahah, I just have to reply and say I loved the original comment and was happy for the laugh. Obviously this is the answer to the riddle of > Given a 3-liter container and a 5-lite…

(Parent was being sarcastic)

I always remember it with “g” for ground and “c” for ceiling… haha but I do like the mites and tites one too in a neighbor comment :)

I think the idea is that you performed the exercise to create stress that you want your body to respond to by getting stronger / more aerobically fit etc in some way. So by icing, …

Thank you for the kind words :)

Not MIT scheme, and there are no proper ports of scmutils to other Scheme dialects that I know of.

That note in the docs is from a time when Emmy only ran on the JVM. Now Emmy runs in JS in a browser (see my top level comment for demo links) which I would argue is even easier. A…

Hey Taylor, thanks for posting these!! I'm still working on the airplane... it's a Vans RV-10, and now out at the hangar and maybe 98% complete, one more full-time month of work th…

Co-author of Emmy here, happy to answer any questions! Point well taken from tonyarkles that on-boarding and docs need work. My big goals for this project were: 1. finish a 100% po…

I used tons of lash splices while building an RV-10 airplane but didn’t know the name until now. Thank you!

I have reverse-mode (purely functional reverse mode at that!) sitting in a branch, and will get this going at some point soon. Even more fun will be compilation down to XLA, like J…

Yes, if you get to automatic differentiation by overloading your operators to also take a “differential” type, you can further overload them to do symbolic arithmetic and then symb…

Of course! And referencing your other comment, during the ~2 year period I've been working on Emmy (on top of work by Colin Smith), I was keen to make the implementation more acces…

What would you build / create / write if you had a web-enabled build of SICM (well, scmutils I guess) in hand? I'd love to hear more about your thoughts on how to build a community…

It's fully rejuvenated in Clojure as "Emmy", with Sussman's support and a bunch of 2D and 3D graphing extensions. See Emmy-Viewers: https://emmy-viewers.mentat.org/ and Emmy: https…

Thanks for the Emmy shout-out! Clerk has been fantastic for rendering 2D and 3D... I just finished a 3D graphics API and am frankly blown away at how great Clerk made this experien…

I covered this in a few of the comments above... the project was initially completely aimed at the R2R book, and I expect to get back to it. I'll add more background to the project…

Thank you! I had "dependencies between notebooks" and "collaborative mode"... the first one's covered here but I still don't know how to handle some Google Docs-style flow on these…

It's not just you! The last thing I want is a WTF from Penrose... This was just an oversight from me trying to cram in too much writing, and I'll fix it tonight once the kids are d…

This is great feedback, and of course you're right. I'll flesh out the index and make sure this is clear right away.

I think you make a great point about adding even further abstraction. I was inspired by Michael Nielsen's idea of "Discovery Fiction"[0], and porting the Sussman library gave me th…

No, of course you’re right to be! I owe myself another lap through this material and this is a good push…

Sorry, of course you're right on "Secondly". The right construction is ω, ω∪{ω}, ω∪{ω}∪{ω∪{ω}}... For the first point, I went through the book long enough ago that I can't rebuild …
