im saying the inverse, if your thesis is "cl is the best language for AI" I dont think macros really are a killer feature here

I agree with your point

cant you do most of this with smalltalk too, or erlang?

I dont really understand what macros get you when llms exist since a llm doesnt really need to create dsls to get work done

this is very easy (and fun) to do in emacs with gptel as well

you can do a lot of very neat stuff when your llm has full access to a lisp repl that can self modify itself / the ui its running in

ya but 99% of streamers have their stream up in their dashboard or on a side monitor, so its always going to be sending and transcoding something

youre still encoding to like, 4 different formats and pushing bytes to a cdn for 80k+ streams in real time. I think the actual serving of hls chunks is the cheap part

honestly not sure, but it would explain how they can keep it running

no comment on the political bits, but the fact that 80% of twitch is streaming to themselves cant be cheap to run

I do wish they would revamp their discoverability process
