Org mode allows you to have inline images, and you can return them as the results of Org Babel blocks. I wanted to test different #EmacsConf scheduling strategies quickly. I used Emacs's XML and SVG support to create the SVGs based on the scheduling data I gave it. Splitting my window made it easy to change the schedule, use `C-c C-c` to execute the block, and see the schedule image (including any validation notes) in the other window. The code is in https://git.emacsconf.org/emacsconf-el/tree/emacsconf-schedule.el .

Delighted to release the third edition of Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation (PLAI). A complete rewrite based on many years of research and experience. Because that research is still ramping up, this is just the start of many changes.

ICYMI: Monday's post on A Mind Forever Voyaging returns to the subject of time---this time as an element of modular narrative design, plus a bit about the existential implications of Perry's self-awareness. Much more on that in a few days!

"The loneliness of PRISM is ultimately his/its most heroic quality, since, like the mortal dread of the heroes of fantasy, it must go felt and unfelt at the same time."

Oh my God.

I’ve just realised what ChatGPT reminds me of. It’s from Douglas Adams’ novel Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, published 35 years ago.

Der nun auch auf Mastodon vertretene @gerhard_lauer macht klar, was der Wissenschaft bevorsteht, wenn nicht drastische Gegenmassnahmen, gegen das Tracking der Ex-Verlage ergriffen werden:

"So wissen die Verlage mehr als die Universitätsleitungen und Wissenschaftsförderer, was die Trends der Forschung sind und wer an welchem Thema arbeitet."

Turns out I either have to leave qoto (which I really like) and switch to a server which is more rigorous in blocking others (WTF) to keep in touch with friends. Or I just leave the fediverse at all and leave it to those feeling morally superior (WTF)
In other words: Good morning!
