Re: The State of Limit Theory Development, 2017 Edition!

Hey Josh, I hope I'm not the one that turned you on to the LTSL thing w/ this post: http://forums.ltheory.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2062 You responded with "I definitely wonder what LT would look like had it been written functionally from the beginning.", and then not long after you wrote a functional...

It sounds like more of an index than a cache to me?

It's not entirely clear from the descriptions, but I think what you're describing w/ the AI is an index and not a cache. If it were a cache then there would have to be a whole cache-invalidation system where every time a new market came into existence the cache (or part of it anyway) would be invali...

Looking forward to Josh's post on FP after LT

everything could have been done more simpy with just functions and data You would really like functional programming, my advice is to mess w/ Clojure first when you're done w/ LT and after the Hawaiian vacation :). I predict the post you write after messing w/ it will just be written using squirrel...

Re: I think Limit Theory has fulfilled Greenspun's Tenth Rul

It's probably true. At some point I think everyone who builds a sufficiently large system will start to see that the only way to really collapse all of the complexity is to look at it like...pure math / functionalism, like lisp. So seems a reasonable point :) I definitely wonder what LT would look ...

Re: Opportunity Cost

That's true if the AI only looks at the current task and one transaction ahead, but there would need to be a hierarchy of tasks to calculate the true value/ticks over a longer term. The example I gave was a simplification of that. Figuring out where to draw the line and actually assign a value is a ...

Opportunity Cost

I just read the latest dev logs about the value of time. I wonder if you're familiar with the economics concept of opportunity cost? It allows you to calculate the cost of something relative to your other choices rather than in absolute terms. The opportunity cost of singing to you for a whole day i...
