Lance

Lance is here for the year!

He’s very interested in the origins of adaptive complexity, and specifically finds reified autoconstruction a promising line

We discussed VM resource management and arbitrary code generation

Miscellany

Is anybody willing to maintain/re-build the lab website?

• Add python push link
• Include more publications
• Fix things (such as broken link to my own paper)

Apparently it’s Omri’s job now (despite his rejection of it)!
