We no longer need to maintain an instance of our forge in AWS now that we have enough compute in-house.

vc.compiler.company will be migrate to rurik on a dedicated pod (requires ubuntu).

Wireguard is a fast, secure, and easy to configure VPN library. All our primary devices have been configured and tested with two available endpoints. Our goal is to migrate all existing devices, then make appropriate accomodations for Podman containers, and finally KVM.

io_uring is the Linux library we have chosen to spend some time getting comfortable with and for which we've written incomplete Common Lisp bindings - URING. This library will soon be developed in parallel to the higher-level IO library - similar to the development of ROCKSDB and RDB.

Over the next few months our IO ecosystem will slowly expand. As a short-term goal, we will implement simple binary streams backed by io_uring.

The pieces are there, just needs glue.

A usable SKEL system is a top priority for this year. To get there we need to give love to many of the underlying core libraries too - most of all cli.

The two top priorities are VC commands and implementing a functional replacement for makefiles as used in the infra project.

• similar idea to org-roam
• stored in rocksdb columns

It is time to move away from makefiles and start integrating our own programs into the system bootstrap process. This iteration of the infra project will have a few POSIX shell scripts for checking the host and grabbing a pre-compiled lisp as well as a compressed infra.core image.

• to move forward with purpose we need a clear charter
• audience: semi-technical (knows what python and git is, has used an IDE)
• the art of programming
  • treating machines as extensions of ourselves, our minds and ideas
  • understanding machines as a means of understanding the world, understanding ourselves
  • expression of ourselves - digital traversal of mediums
  • programming as a skill
    • high skill-ceiling
    • skill-multiplier: programmers benefit the most from technological advances
    • programming knowledge has high utility
      • transferrable across domains/langs/systems
    • IDE, domain knowledge, learning system
  • programming as a science
    • expression is important to scientists too
      • math notation
      • algorithm development
    • modeling/simulation/forecasting
    • search and sort
    • multi-disciplinary utility
      • eliminates boundaries (DRY), more knowledge sharing
    • cellular automata
  • needs protecting
    • (LLMs, cite code quality, state of C++, Hare/Zig/Nim, frameworks, js ecosystem, malicious companies)
    • client/server arch, cloud, SaaS, subscription model, browsers, right to repair, limiting access to energy, data, bandwidth
  • how?
    • if you can't beat them…
      • Do It Yourself
    • eliminate dependencies
    • encourage extension
    • process, time
    • Lisp/Macros/Compilers
• re-inventing the Lisp Machine
  • history, MIT->Symbolics->LMI->TI/Xerox->AI Winter
  • image-based software
  • vs other, why it failed
  • eliminating dependence on specialized hardware
