Thu Nov 13 23:07:38 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> "I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play", Sussman said.
Thu Nov 13 23:08:37 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> this must be at least the 7th time sussman and his neural net pop up here.
Sat Aug 08 00:10:16 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> mit (the home of sussman and the original arena for this) officially became irredeemably doomed in my eyes when they stopped.
Sat Oct 10 12:04:11 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> unsurprisingly, as it's the one bit of ai we actually turn out to need (as opposed to starstrucklingly WANT, a la sussman & co)
Thu Nov 13 23:07:38 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
Sat May 09 01:36:48 UTC 2015 <decimation> asciilifeform: apparently MIT put a sussman lisp class from 1986 on their on-line course system http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-001-structure-and-interpretation-of-computer-programs-spring-2005/video-lectures/1a-overview-and-introduction-to-lisp/

Tue Feb 23 05:27:00 UTC 2016 <phf> "This lot includes two Scheme-81 computer chips, signed by Gerald Sussman. This lot also includes a commemorative 3D-printed Babylonian styled tablet containing the password to a private Github repository where the buyer may access an image of the Scheme-81 chips."
Tue Feb 23 05:55:12 UTC 2016 <phf> sussman was there though, when mit switched from sicp to python for their intro programming course, and he defended that decision with his remarks at ILC https://web.archive.org/web/20090327115612/http://blog.snowtide.com/2009/03/24/why-mit-now-uses-python-instead-of-scheme-for-its-undergraduate-cs-program
Tue Feb 23 05:58:56 UTC 2016 <phf> i'm sure the chip went same way, some chinese american female student, "say, prof sussman, how about you sell your life's work to highest bidder on this hip website. it'll legitimize what you did because you're no longer just a nerd, but now also an artist"
