Show HN: I built an interactive visual playground for interaction nets

https://netties.adler.dev/

Hi HN!I built a tool to make it easy to explore interaction nets visually in the browser.Interaction nets are a model of computation based on local graph rewriting. They allow for deterministic, massively parallel evaluation without the variable-binding overhead of traditional lambda calculus.I've been thinking about interaction nets for a while and realised that I just didn't have a good...

Well if it's a choice between these 4, then sure. Not sure that really suffices to qualify Go as "the" best language for agents

The evolutionary fitness of a particular adaptation helps spread the genes that causes the adaptation. I think backpropagation is a very apt description for that phenomenon
Beautiful comment, I really enjoyed reading it!

It's not linked at all, it just uses "The Elm Architecture" as inspiration to recreate the same architecture in F#

F# is my go-to language for new backend projects and console apps. You can be as functional as you like, with imperative/mutable/OOP escape hatches available for those rare but unavoidable times you need them

That's an implementation detail. For all we know the author has a very firm split between their application folder and their blog posts folder, and they only get combined at the compilation stage. You don't need the content to be stored separately at runtime in order to maintain separation of concerns in your codebase

You're pointing out the best that humanity is capable of. He's pointing out that people judge LLMs by their worst performances. You're not disagreeing with the parent comment.
Excellently said. You've put into words things I've felt for a long time but never got round to articulating

Does it? Who uses it?
Although greatly spurred on by many in the upper classes
Are you taking the context window size into consideration? And are you basing this opinion on GPT-3.5 OR 4? ChatGPT does tend to write very flat and full of clichés, but in my experience GPT-4 is far more original and expressive.
By comparison? Yes. infinitely so.
