	Gerry Sussman
		Sussman is a coauthor (with Hal Abelson and Julie Sussman) of the introductory computer science textbook used at M.I.T. The textbook, "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs," has been translated into French, German, Chinese, Polish, and Japanese.
		Sussman's contributions to Artificial Intelligence include problem solving by debugging almost-right plans, propagation of constraints applied to electrical circuit analysis and synthesis, dependency-based explanation and dependency-based backtracking, and various language structures for expressing problem-solving strategies.
		Sussman was also the lead designer of the Supercomputer Toolkit, another multiprocessor computer optimized for evolving systems of ordinary differential equations.

	Review \| PS, I Love You and On A Night Like This
		Gerry was gone and he would never be back.
		Blair Clemens is an ex-hippie chick living in contemporary San Francisco, she is a struggling single mom who is a dying of a melanoma so convincingly described, you're checking your own moles before the end of the book.
		Sussman takes all of these endings and transitions and weaves what is ultimately a beautiful and even uplifting tale.

	Designing a Course
		Gerry Sussman, one of the great teachers at MIT, says that a student should walk out of a lecture with a new capability.
		I.e., the student should be able to do something that he or she could not do before.
		If we accept Sussman's premise, the design of a course must proceed from an overall statement of capabilities we hope to instill and a detailed statement of capabilities for each particular lecture or unit.

	pushblog: older, better?
		I'm certainly more critical of my ideas, but my sense is that the ones that get through my filters are better than the ones I would produce a few years ago.
		Someone once told me about a class they took with Gerry Sussman, one of the great teachers here at MIT.
		Gerry's response was, "Well, I couldn't when I was your age -- but when I turned 26 I grew three new registers."

	Continuation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However this use of the term "re-entrant" is too easily confused with its use in discussions of multithreading.
		At one time Gerry Sussman and Drew McDermott thought that using re-invocable continuations (which they called "Hairy Control Structure") was the solution to the AI control structure problems that had originated in Planner.
		Guy Steele and Gerry Sussman then developed the continuations in Scheme in their attempt to understand the Actor model.

		Minsky is an actor in an artificial intelligence koan (attributed to his student, Danny Hillis) from the Jargon file:
		In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
		"Why do you close your eyes?", Sussman asked his teacher.

		Sussman then showed a series of small programs, working his way up the continuum from the prosaic to the beautiful.
		Sussman agreed that many intelligent folks do, and acknowledged that there is room for taste in such matters.
		Sussman went further to state baldly, "Research that doesn't connect with students is a waste." To the extent that we seek new knowledge to improve the world around us, we must teach it to others, so I suppose that Sussman is correct.

		I heard an amazing story from AI guru Gerry Sussman this afternoon, which I quote here from memory:
		This experiment might be worth trying--and, as Sussman pointed out, computers have made it much easier to generate random numbers mod 24.

	March
		Sussman figured the guy was going to boot him out, but instead the man sat down, asking, "Hey, what are you doing?" Sussman talked over his program with the man, Marvin Minsky.
		At one point in the discussion, Sussman told Minsky that he was using a certain randomizing technique in his program because he didn't want the machine to have any preconceived notions.
		Just as Sussman could never find our all the conditions that pre-program his neural network, you can never figure out all the things that make you tick.

	Planner programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to Hewitt [2006], Planner was the first language to feature procedural plans that were called by pattern-directed invocation using goals and assertions.
		A subset called Micro-Planner was implemented by Gerry Sussman, Eugene Charniak and Terry Winograd and was used in Winograd's natural-language understanding program SHRDLU, Eugene Charniak's story understanding work, and some other projects.
		Drew McDermott and Gerald Sussman called Landin's concept the "Hairy Control Structure" and used it in the form of a nonlocal goto for the Conniver programming language.

		As we look ahead to 2007-The Year of the Leather-it is time for the Sez to respond to the moaners and groaners, the ill-informed and hoop-deformed, and those who feel confused and abused.

	Scheme vs. Common Lisp
		Finally, Gerry Sussman said "Of course, you can't expect Lisp to do something like that; Lisp can't do things like this.
		If you want to deal with massive data sets, you have to use C. It is sad but true." I said, "Gerry, I think this would run on an old 1 MIPS 3600 with 8 Mbytes of RAM.
		Gerry was despondent until Bill Rozas, his grad student and one of the scheme implementors, showed up.

	Is the Solar System Stable?
		Another project involved constructing the Digital Orrery by Gerry Sussman and his group from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
		The group used this machine, which has a computer architecture designed to mimic the interactions between the planets, to integrate the orbits of the outer planets over 845 million years (some 20 per cent of the age of the Solar System).
		In 1988, Sussman and Wisdom produced integrations using the Orrery which revealed that Pluto's orbit shows the tell-tale signs of chaos, due in part to its peculiar resonance with Neptune.

	all about arie kaplan
		Jewish writer Gerry Sussman (Playboy) created the recurring Lampoon feature "My Meter Is Running," about a foulmouthed Jewish cabbie named "Bernie X" who commented on New York City's mores from a distinctly paranoid perspective.
		Bernie's theory: "The gist of the plan is to destroy the rabbis' reputations...Then, with all our top rabbis in disgrace, [the Christians] are going to walk in and feed the kids a line of propaganda and convert them all to gentiles." Bernie's outbursts were not meant to be taken literally.
		Sussman's character embodied Judaism's notion of the yetzer ha-ra (the evil inclination); his racist ravings served both as a mirror and a warning to readers not to indulge in their own evil inclinations.

		I told Hal Abelson and Gerry Sussman the currying technique that I had used for writing the T interpreter, and for the second edition of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs they decided to rewrite the interpreter chapter in this style.
		There was at least one other person at Yale who knew the Steele and Sussman papers, namely Drew McDermott, who had been a student of Sussman's; and it was only through McDermott that I knew Lisp and Scheme.
		Sussman and Steele had been busy working on a VLSI Scheme interpreter, and I was fresh off of a for-fun-only project of compiling the chip's microcode to PDP-10 machine code.

	ABQjournal: GPS Technology Finds Sandias' Most Remote Spot
		Mike Coltrin, author of the Sandia Mountain Hiking Guide, to be published by University of New Mexico Press in spring 2005, had already used his GPS skills to find the southern MRP, but the northern point remained unvisited.
		So an expedition was organized that included me, Menke, Coltrin and Gerry Sussman, who is the project leader of "Field Guide to the Sandia Mountains," another book to be published by UNM Press in spring '05.
		As it turned out, the MRP was only about 100 feet north of the well-traveled Crest Trail, separated from it by a dense thicket of Gambel oak, locust and other human-hating shrubs.
