interesting. I had meant to point out that you had recently tooted a look at the life and death of Cyc as a deceased expert system, and in parallel I was reading a book explicitly comparing its KR to CYCL.
At one point, too early in my trajectory to have really understood implications other than a vague connection to DEs, I did at least physically look at every page of Wolfram's monster which is why it lurks in the visual-metaphor-spheres of my brain.

the idea that occurs to me is that a probabilistic decision tree, even generated to fit some data, is exactly a probabilistic decision tree, even a non-trivial one (halting problem one). Whereas an attempt to universally approximate from sampling the same data has a universe of possibilities, probably exacerbated by having a pre-trained model for example. I'm not sure how to formalize that idea though, and I have many pages on the topic to read.

@npub1vlc…mzqq this week you mentioned that gofai are specifically not universal approximators. Is there a particular statement or theorem about the contrasting natures of universal-approximators and old-fashioned AIs?

Listing and defending the best conjunction of #commonLisp packages and programming strategy I can muster. A part one out of two or possibly three.
TO HEAD OFF CONTROVERSY
At one point I say "lisp is the best" and then give a specific example of some python changes over the last ten years. Please consider my whole point, which is clearly and specifically about LISP's age compared to other languages.

Strongly worded #medium #article on #programmingLanguages and #dialogue relating to
[@nosrednayduj](https://hachyderm.io/@nosrednayduj ) 's interview today concerning the concerning relative merits of #lisp and #java . Connection to strong echoes of points Masinter made about Medley Interlisp in an earlier interview.
Thoughts, commentary welcome here and on Medium.
@npub1j6n…tyld this article is specifically addressed to you, if you'll forgive me.

Armed bear common lisp, assume the grad student marking you isn't going to delve too deeply into the depths of your jars.

and as a corollary, new function definitions should feel similar to coining new words with all the weight that entails.
