🧵Using this pinned tweet thread as a better twitter bio made of representative old tweets. I'm best known as a programmer and computer scientist, so we'll start with this thread of old OS ideas ripe for further exploration:

In case you happen to be in Budapest at the end of May, I’ll be giving a talk at this year’s Craft Conf.

Had the most inspiring conversation with @jackrusher about generative art, the inherent humanity of creativity (and how AI might change that), and how excellence is a function of habit. Grateful for the words and wisdom.

If there is one lesson from global economics over the last century it is this: stability, rule of law and the quality of government is much more important than corporate tax rates and moderate differences in regulations

New @Kleissonic Tremulant pedal arrived yesterday and combined so well with a @FxJptr Kaleidoscope that the resulting guitar tone inspired me to compose and record this tribute to @DAVID_LYNCH on the spot...

Sketchpad: an interactive model of vanishing points made out of point-on-line and horizontal/vertical constraints!
Written 20 years ago, feeling fresh today for no reason in particular.

As Kay himself has said so many times, this question is entirely about funding. With ARPA/IPTO-style funding, you get Kays (and Engelbarts, Minskys, McCarthys, Corbatós, etc) With VC and NSF, you don't.
Even Kay hasn't been able to "be Kay" since the 80s: worrydream.com/2017-12-30-al… nitter.cf/smdiehl/status/9467057…

Today we're launching the Institutional Data Initiative to work with libraries, gov agencies, and other knowledge institutions to help refine and publish their collections as data, with an eye toward AI. 🧵

By far the best way to figure this out is to follow the tutorial at github.com/cursive-ide/inlin…, which will walk you through all the basic features, and some real world examples for Malli and Scope Capture.

Have you ever wished for a 500 Hz, millimeter-precise linear position sensing system? Well you're in luck --- all you need is some circuit board, a basic microcontroller, and a wee bit of maths!

Huge progress by @artuursberzins @AndyRadler @e_volkmann on Geometry-Informed Neural Networks (GINNs)! Faster training, better shapes, and surprising insights from enforcing diversity.

We introduce Geometry-Informed Neural Networks to train shape generative models
without any data (!!), combining learning under constraints, neural fields as a suitable representation, and generating diverse solutions to under-determined problems:

I'm seeking participants for a user study on a new code editor that completes your program text with syntactic obligations, which are virtual tokens that stand in for missing text. Details in thread. RTs appreciated 🙏

In probability theory, there's a whole slew of terms like "Markov chain" vs. "Markov process" etc. that can be hard to make sense of.
Here's my attempt at some orderly, self-consistent nomenclature, for a course on Monte Carlo methods.
Come at me with your worst nitpicks.

I'm excited to announce a new introductory @Sonic_Pi video course - which will kick off your live coding journey.
Learn to:
* trigger powerful synths
* manipulate pre-recorded samples
* add expressive studio effects
* perform
* compose your own music
