https://www.reuters.com/article/retail-trading-nfts/insight-how-a-10-second-video-clip-sold-for-6-6-million-idUKL8N2KV6X9 I dont get it? I just don't understand how any of those things ate worth so mucj money

NFTs are the beanie babies of the 2020s, with the additional attribute of being an ecological disaster during a time when we are the most aware we've ever been of the effects of wasting so much energy

NFT?

It does seem like the energy issues are being addressed as a somewhat high priority at least (though still awhile a way from being actual reality)

non-fungible token

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE18841CABEA24090 I just stumbled over this 40h MIT lection about Structure and Interpretation from 86, Abelson and Sussman. Of course it uses LISP 😉

Interesting…

I love those lectures!

Their book is my favourite on the topic, so I’ll definitely watch these. Thanks!

I love the SICP lectures, but everything I’ve seen from Sussman since (like his strange loop talk) has been so far over my head, I only understood every 10th word. I’ve preordered his new book, but I’m doubtful I’ll be able to actually understand any of it :D The ‘Stratified Design’ paper is an exception though, that was great - deep but still comprehensible.

I think that's covered in the new book

Pretty much what got me to Clojure

Thanks for posting this, these are great! I took this course in 1986 with Abelson as the lecturer, so it’s like going back in time for me.
