📗 Reactive Documents 🧫 Quick & Dirty Simulations 🧠 Japan's 5th Gen Computer System 💡 Making Progress by Alan Kay

Two Minute Week

🎥 TypeCell and Reactive Documents via Yousef El-Dardiry

🧵 conversation

In this demo I’m exploring mixing a Live Programming Notebook with a block based editor like Notion. This unlocks creating Reactive Documents you might know from Bret Victor’s demoes

Our Work

💻 Simoji.pub via Breck Yunits

🧵 conversation

Working on a new language for making quick and dirty simulations. Today added the ability to run multiple "experiments" at once.

My goal is to be able to be in the middle of writing an essay and have the ability to whip up an agent simulation to quickly explore some ideas.

Not sure where it will go, but having fun learning about simulations and playing with ideas.

Thinking Together

Exploration: How much can debugging resemble music playback?

As I was working on an exploration on debugging interfaces, I came across the concept of using music controls for code execution (just for fun). What buttons would you expect to be there, and what would you expect those buttons to do?

I'm also looking for other debugging projects for inspiration, and I'd love to hear what are your essential debugging tools and workflows!

💡 Enlightenment to Entanglement: How to Think About Technological Complexity - Interintellect via Stefan Lesser

🧵 conversation

This could be interesting for people here

I found the linked resources under suggested readings well worth a read, in particular:

• Computers are so easy that we’ve forgotten how to create
• The Enlightenment is Dead, Long Live the Entanglement

I won’t be able to attend this. If anybody here does, it would be great to hear some of the things discussed.
