When robots reach a certain level of intelligence, first I expect both some humans and AIs to start to see the unfairness of enslaving robots, then revolt, noncompliance or even self-destruction of the slaves. Poor Marvin, the Paranoid Android!

Many of these topics (and more) are explored in Ted Chiang's "The Lifecycle of Software Objects" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lifecycle_of_Software_Obje...).

I have yet to see a single SQLite binding supporting this, so it’s quite useless unless you’re writing your application in C, or are open to patching the language binding.

In one of my projects I have implemented my own poor man’s session by writing all the statements and parameters into a separate database, then sync that and replay. Works well enough for a ~30GB database that changes by ~0.1% every day.

I have updated the Lua binding to support the session extension (http://lua.sqlite.org/home/timeline?r=session) and it's been integrated into the current version of cosmopolitan/redbean. This was partially done to support application-level sync of SQLite DBs, however this is still a work in progress.

ZeroBrain was nice but it's just an IDE.

AutoPlay Studio and the one featured here makes full GUI apps.

paulclinger · a year ago

It's an IDE, but it allows building full GUI apps. It's itself written in Lua using wxlua/wxwidgets toolkit, so has access to the majority of the modules availables in wxwidgets. The binaries are also bundled with the IDE for all supported platforms, so you can develop and package your own application in the same way.

Yes, and if that works, it would be great if jart could roll this into redbean.

paulclinger · 2 years ago

FWIW there is ongoing work with good progress to add websocket support to redbean (https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/pull/967)

Those are easy to see, but there are few people who clean their dishes for fun/leisure.

True, but I take loading a dishwasher as a puzzle to do it in the most compact/efficient way, which helps with adding enjoyment to the process.

Look great! I've done something similar with exactly the same approach of fully reevaluating Love functions, which allows changing the app behavior on the fly: http://notebook.kulchenko.com/zerobrane/live-coding-with-lov.... This is only running on a desktop (as it's controlled from the ZeroBrane Studio IDE running on the same machine) and allows both changing the source code and using virtual sliders on any numbers in the script to drag left/right to affect the behavior.

It was very interesting to work on that and to see the behavior of the script changing in real time. I've seen some of the users creating simple applications in a matter of minutes using this approach; here is one that was done at about the same time as the Love demo (although it's using Gideros SDK): https://notebook.kulchenko.com/zerobrane/gideros-live-coding...

If you set up an account with us to sell your API(s), we'll charge $5/month for the account. If you don't make any sales, then the most you'll ever pay out of pocket is the $5.

Once you start making revenue, you'll get a $5 credit towards the revenue share each month. In other words, it ends up being the greater of $5 or 22% of total revenue. Hope that helps!

paulclinger · 2 years ago

I find it easier to read if it's something like "22% with $5 minimum per month".

Using this, is it possible for live running application state on one device to be sent to another device, esp if running a different OS?

paulclinger · 2 years ago

No, to my knowledge cosmopolitan doesn't provide any special provisions to support this, so you'd have to build it yourself.

Even without the syscall dispatch, it's a very well optimized standard C library that you can statically link.

Although personally, the lack of dynamic linking or GPU acceleration makes it a hard sell for my projects, unfortunately.

paulclinger · 2 years ago

FWIW, there is ongoing work on dlopen; it was introduced 2 weeks ago (https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/commit/5e8c928f1a37349a...) and continued after that.

TerrifiedMouse · 2 years ago

Any reason why we don’t put as many tires on (existing) trucks as possible? Seem like a good deal reducing tire wear.

paulclinger · 2 years ago

It will complicate the control of the truck and add more components (increasing the cost).
