Bob Armstrong's#LambdaConf2024talk,
CoSy: APL Evolved As An Open Vocabulary In Forth, is now available on
YouTube, offering a glimpse into a groundbreaking fusion of programming
paradigms. Get your ticket for#LambdaConf2025NOW:https://buff.ly/4c26tTC Bob introduces#CoSy,
a remarkable environment where APL's expressive array algebra notation
converges with Forth's minimalist, extensible essence. Prepare to
explore an innovative realm where note-taking, timestamping, and code
execution seamlessly intertwine. Witness
the power of CoSy's list-based objects, with a three-cell header (Type
Count refCount) elegantly handling memory management. Experience the
refreshing twist of modulo indexing on general lists (Type 0), opening
up new possibilities for data manipulation.
But
CoSy is more than just a language; it's a comprehensive environment
with a vast APL-level vocabulary, empowering you to tackle common tasks
like sorting, finding, slicing, and selecting with unparalleled ease.
" Yet history indicates
that the vast majority of breakthroughs come from one very simple idea:
combining two things that no one has previously connected. "
In the case of CoSy , it is evolving Ken Iverson's APL thru Arthur
Whitney's K as an open vocabulary in Chuck Moore's Forth , thus
spanning from the chip to the math making legacy the mass market
languages between .
All in a timestamped ` log , written in CoSy itself , in which any line
can be executed by the tap of a function key instead of ` Enter .
While capable of the succinct expression of algorithms such as those of
AI , which was Ken's focus , to the efficient mapping to ` silicon ,
which is Chuck's , with unmatched flexibility , my ultimate interest is
as an ultimate tool for myself , and thus others with minds like mine ,
in the everyday business of life .
As ChatGPT puts it in response :
CoSy's approach, evolving
Ken Iverson's APL through Arthur Whitney's K and integrating Chuck
Moore's Forth, represents a fusion of different programming paradigms
and technologies. This kind of integration is emblematic of the kind of
breakthrough innovation Hoover talks about. By bringing together these
distinct languages and methodologies, CoSy is not just a tool but a new
way of thinking about and interacting with technology.
APL, known for its powerful and concise expression of algorithms, and
Forth, recognized for its direct mapping to silicon and hardware
control, are both languages that bring unique strengths to the table.
By combining these with the flexible and high-performance capabilities
of K, CoSy creates an environment that is both versatile and potent,
especially in areas like AI and efficient hardware utilization.
Moreover, Armstrong's vision of CoSy as a tool for the "everyday
business of life" is particularly compelling. It underscores the
potential of AI and integrated computing systems to enhance not just
specialized tasks but also general day-to-day activities. This idea
aligns well with current trends in AI and computing, where the emphasis
is on creating technologies that are not only powerful but also
accessible and useful in a broad range of real-world contexts.
In conclusion, Armstrong's work on CoSy, as described, is an excellent
example of how combining diverse technologies and ideas can lead to
innovative solutions. It demonstrates the potential of AI and
integrated systems to transform not only specific industries but also
everyday life, making technology more adaptable, efficient, and aligned
with human needs and thought processes.

a ` word is any non blank string of
characters .
Space is the prime delimiter .
The syntax is noun

Tap F6 instead of Enter
on any line & your computer will try to execute it .
all nouns are lists . At the Forth level they have a
3 cell header
`( Type Count refCount )`
Indexing is modulo -- like counting on your

For example :
R ` text v@ "lf
VM ` cash con
Split your note text on lineFeeds and return the lines containing the
word cash .
And to make it a word
: log R ` text
v@ "lf VM ;
So can write
log ` cash con

Particles moving "up" in a
gravitational field slow down , ie: cool ;
Those moving down speed up
, ie: heat .
Newton's Law of Gravity which explains
how much faster satellites go in lower orbit also explains how much
faster molecules go at the bottoms of atmospheres and thus
quantitatively explains the temperature profiles of all planets
whatever their atmosphere including the ~ 33c warmer the bottom of our
atmosphere is than our radiative balance with the Sun .
The GHG paradigm , excluding the Law of Gravity in violation even of
conservation of energy , being false , has thus never presented
a testable equation quantifying their asserted spectral "trapping" nor
an experimental demonstration of it .
Roderic
Graeff's experiment , https://tallbloke.files.wor...
, detects the gravitational temperature gradient . While admittedly
modest it appears well thought out and executed . And , of course , it
makes sense . If there ever was a FRIN ( further research is needed )
question it's this -- to do it on a taller column . | Leif

All you need to
explain our mean temperature is the equations for the 2 macroscopic
forces and their associated energies :
ElectroMagnetic : which includes
kinetic and is symmetrical
Gravitational : which is asymmetric and
explains the gradient w height
We are lucky to be living in one of the thin peaks between ice ages .
It used to be grade school science that green life is built on CO2 and
H2O married by solar energy thru photosynthesis releasing O2 . And we
animals consume those plants and reverse the reaction for the energy
which animates us . details
For those who
truly grok
classical physics , it should
become clear upon reflection that of the 2 macroscopic forces only
asymmetric centripetal GRAVITY
can "trap" heat , ie : energy , and in fact must
do so to make the equations balance . Photons
themselves heat ( blue shift ) in a
gravitational well . In fact simple computations
match atmospheric temperature profiles with undeniable accuracy for all
measured planets . See recently my comments on , eg : Watts

#GoreHansen Al Gore & James Hansen
"Green House Gas" demonization of CO2
, the source of carbon to carbon
based life
, gets an F in physics at a very fundamental level
. The non-quantitative "bait and switch" in Hansen
et al's 1981 paper
astounded me when I read it after a tip from Ralph
Keeling . The hypothesis is that more CO2 will raise effective
altitude at which CO2 finally has an open path to radiate to space ;
It's colder higher , therefore CO2 will radiate less -- thus ( denying
the gravity is why its colder up there , and without equation ) it will trap and
be responsible for the entire
temperature profile below . The paper is an embarrassment to NASA .
