Honestly I'm a little more concerned with using the training data to create a stock predictor.

Given the size of the data set and the number of variables... I should be done just before the heat death of the universe...if I had a quantum computer.

I'm also a confused about the example `defmethod` expansion given here http://mop.lisp.se/www.alu.org/mop/concepts.html#defmethod will work if the generic function is not defined yet

it seems to me like the (ensure-generic-function) call will initialize it with a nil lambda-list, so adding a method with a non-nil lambda list right afterwards will trigger an error
22:30:34
markasoftware
because the empty lambda list is not congruent with the lambda list of the new function

the MOP book has a lot of little issues like this. you might be better off looking at what implementations actually do.

Btw I added a quicklisp-patches/ directory which contains a few patched ql systems where my patches haven’t yet made it into the respective upstream distros for ql distribution (or at least haven’t been tested yet)

no-defun-allowed: just saw your pull request on implement a linear-probing hash-table into SICL. Good work

But thanks to the way bootstrapping works, most of the code exists, has been executed, and seems to work.

I recently finished revamping the way high-level IR was generated in order to take into account the ideas in my draft paper on call-site optimization.

Cool, I was just thinking about this topic earlier today. (Not that I have anything new to contribute, but just pondering function calls and their optimization in functional languages.)

The technique in that paper will make Common Lisp function calls faster than a typical C function call in a shared library.

azrazalea: Yes, I am not going anywhere. Unless the virus hits or something, of course.

Oh, beach, David Gudeman's "Representing Type Information in Dynamically Typed Languages" (1993) is the earliest paper on NaN-boxing (if you still need a citation for footnote 1).
