reflecting
insights from conversations this week . But for the nonce :
after
all these years , and the ` amateurishness it conveys , and the
similar observation of not trusting anything not in an ` official `
can consume >
$250,000,000 start up .
) , with private
funding , now has revenues of $400e6 at a $100 annual subscription
.
's
unmatchable malleability , and its hard to imagine a tenth that cost
in
time
. I recently commented on Linked-In on a comment mentioning " 11,000
lines of code " for
. that all of
~ 10200 lines from the x86 instructions
defining about
Allwords # |>| 2448
words creating and dealing with
CoSy's
dynamic
trees &
leafs at all levels from chip to
math , and everyday tasks .
So , it has to be recognized that
CoSy ultimately
takes on the entire main stream professional programming language
paradigm . I touch on this in my August SV-FIG presentation :
Breaking Paradigms is
Hard to Do .
The issue of having a particular application at which a product
excels versus simply being very good across the spectrum of tasks
which compose the
everyday business of life has been
discuss , most notably with Dave & Amanda . I cited the
multidimensional geometry of the situation in a different context
in my
Rational
Ignorance and the Stupidity of the Centralized State from
my Manhattan Libertarian days . Perhaps the best way to look at
the `
purpose of
CoSy is
to
total personal productivity .
But that very much includes
understanding things . It is to
artificially aid
my effective intelligence .

I fixed the spelling of
beginning in
CoSy.com/CoSy/ using the
following
CoSy lines
:
` https://www.cosy.com/CoSy/index.html
>Fn> wwwGet >Ft>
Retrieve file from Web using
cURL I learned of from John
Peter's SV-FIG Zoom :
Forth/CoSy
for Day Trading Alerts , altho he didn't really use
CoSy very
deeply .
rShow Ft rUpdate | Open large editing
window and post the HTML code
Find & correct the spelling of " beginning " ( &
a few other cleanups while I'm at it ) .
rGet >Ft> ` C:\CoSyWeb\CoSy\index.html
>F
Retrieve the edited text , save it , and write it to the local
file .
`( C:/CoSyWeb/ ftp://FTP.cosy.com/htdocs/
)` ` C:\CoSyBob\BobA.csy F>/\ ` FTPword v@ cL >t1
Set the local and web directories , and the password required for
uploading retrieved from my personal
BobA Job in
a variable ,
t1 .
I'm only now using these defs for the first time , and there was a
problem cured by adding a final
L@ cL to the definition
.
: wwwPut 2p s" cURL -T " R@ dsc L@ cL cL s" -u "
cL R@ 2 _at cL "bl cL R@ 1th cL L@ cL 2P> ;
wwwPut turns the local file name into the instruction
needed to upload it :
` CoSy\index.html t1 wwwPut
returns (
puts on the stack ) the string :
cURL -T C:/CoSyWeb/CoSy\index.html -u
BobA:PWpwPW ftp://FTP.cosy.com/htdocs/CoSy\index.html
and finally
Shell uses the line to upload the corrected
script to
CoSy.com/CoSy .
` CoSy\index.html t1 wwwPut Shell
Yes that's
super-teky , but it's a total of 5 lines which
can be sitting in your notes . And if you have a
teky friend
, they can sent them to you in a tweet .
(
This highlights the truth that the significant
task is nucleating a language community . )
Now that I seem to have
wwwGet and
wwwPut tamed
, I can easily write a few lines to check the synchronization of
local directories , or local and web directories . I don't need
some other
app for the task , or try to figure out where
the hell Windows has the facility , which I'm sure it does .

By the time you've gone off to a traditional programming editor to
start editing a program , much can be written in a line and
executed right in your work where it's needed , while whatever
program you've
written is still off somewhere to use somehow .
I made a
comment
on a Linked-In post by Yann LeCun "
VP
& Chief AI Scientist at Meta " of an example of
Python .
CoSy's
half the bytes . But more consequentially the definition is
immediately added to your vocabulary to express things you need to
do .
Interestingly , I found it easier to search my
WorkLog notes
for ` Yann than find the post searching on Linked-in .
Wish I could be briefer , but as I said in August's SV-FIG
Breaking
Paradigms is Hard to Do eliminating the verbosity and
boilerplate and the separation of ` professional programming from
simply being part of the flow of daily work where individuals are
their own programmers of first resort , is a shift in paradigm
complementary to AI . It must be recognized , that being open code
from the hardware to the level of everyday utility
CoSy is
orthogonal to any particular `
operating system , altho
it is currently interfaced to just
WinTel . The
implications of that are left to after the first $200e6 .
