3d printers are the closest thing we have to self replicating machines https://reprap.org here is an old but interesting talk
sadly the modern 3d printing industry has taken the route of the printer companies business model of selling the ink instead of perusing the exponential growth allowed by self replicating machines

I hereby pardon all junior engineers

We trusted a 70lb ardinuo to get us to the moon and back.

That hope is fossilized in classic sci-fi: explore space, build utopia, maintain peace, etc.

We once sought Star Trek. Now we orbit the Black Mirror.


They gave us a universal currency; we turned it into a casino.

They gave us a town square; we turned it into a fight club.

They gave us a universal oracle; we turned it into a billboard.

How Lisp is designing Nanotechnology (with Prof. Christian Schafmeister)

this guy made a custom common lisp implementation called clasp that make calling c++ code easier
then he made cando, a framework for designing and simulating molecules 🀯
he is funded by DARPA they have already synthesized molecules that were designed using this
checkout the interview for more

this is effectively a system for programming molecules and it's in lisp, feynman would have been proud, this was the point of that there's plenty of room at the bottom talk.
here is an fp lesson for you all

pure functions are just look up tables


a pure function maps a specific input to a specific output just like a look up table or a hash map
