3:07:48johnnymacsI have read that lisp has been very performant on quantum computers.
3:09:26vtomolejonnymacs: Rigetti uses Lisp in there software stack. You can't actually run lisp on a quantum computer, but it is used to build toolchains for quantum computers.
3:11:20johnnymacsSo if there was a language that could run on a quantum computer it could do something lisp could not do.
3:12:51sirabenjohnnymacs: Quantum computers cannot compute anything more than an existing computer can
3:13:22sirabenjohnnymacs: It may do things more quickly in certain tasks (e.g. number factorization, SAT solving, search problems), but it can't solve the halting problem
3:13:49Bikebut what if it runs every program at once through superposition so that i don't have to learn how quantum annealing works
3:23:41fouricQuestion: I have a CLOS class foo and a subclass bar. How do I get the initial form of a bar slot to be the initial value of a (different) foo slot?
3:24:22jeosol@pierpa, @Bike, @Stacksmith, for their help last night, I was able to resolve the parallel functionality
3:53:08jeosolthat worked, but I can't kill the lparallel worker, so I switched to using bt-threads directly.
3:54:02jeosolI had one lparallel worker running in the background and when I rand (bt:all-threads), I still the lparallel threads running and printing out
4:39:29pierpajeosol: glad to hear you made progresses
5:37:00jeosol@pierpa, thanks for your help man. The parallel functional is running ok. I am trying to get cloud instances to do the runs. I am cleaning out the code to make sure it does not fail on the lisp/sbcl slide
