I still occasionally get DMs from people who are reverse-engineering old text-to-speech software. I haven’t gone back to it but I’m glad someone’s doing it

I on: Implementing a Forth
there's a myth I know where the true Forth enthusiasts end up making their programs so pure that they start needing their own special hardware (in one version, I heard that machine words were all 13 bits), their own networking stack, their own communication apps.

and that's why we don't hear from them anymore

I’ll start! Many people don’t know that the first L stands for Laura, and just like an llm, I thrive with specific instructions, I make assumptions sometimes, I’ll need to restart a conversation if we go back and forth a whole bunch and get nowhere, and I’m more productive when you’re nice to me!
