80s computing era meets small local decision models

With the new decision models coming through, I realised that this is perfect for being about to bring the "analog world" to the "digital world", so imagine I want a small program to adjust the room temperature:

Key points

  • I thought it would be fun to explore what would happen if people using assembly in the past would have access to local models.
  • temperature: dup psh "How does the room temperature feel?" psh [ "Much too cold" "Cold" "Comfortable" "Warm" "Much too warm" ] scl ; Stack = [confidence, score, feedback] psh 0.5 ge ife adjust askperson ret
  • askperson: pop psh "Unsure about the temperature: passing to a person." prt ret
  • What you see above is a prompt being broken down into the probabilistic or human judgement part and the deterministic code part.
