@scidata.bsky.socialWhich is why I'm always on about the value of understanding computation from first principles. It helps one to notice things that are hidden by compilers, emulators, and simulators. Occasionally crucial things. Machines are watching us; turnabout is fair play.

@scidata.bsky.socialIt's sometimes useful to go backwards too. PygmyForth is an extremely useful language for fossils like me. It's written in Python and new primitives can be coded in Python. I've resurrected some of my ancient code with it (#GOFAI, #Astronomy).

@scidata.bsky.socialHow can anyone comprehend a data center without grokking the miracle of a single transistor?
To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.

@scidata.bsky.socialMight have been a big hit iff it had threatened the extinction of our species. Weak marketing, Hasbro.
@edutecheditor.bsky.socialAdding #ComputationalThinking to your school can produce powerful learning. See how this high school created engaging, high-impact learning experiences for their students. buff.ly/DBbax8L
@teachnet.bsky.socialFrom Computational Thinkers to Mathematical Thinkers🤔 While we cannot know what technologies our students will use or what jobs they will do in the future, we can however help them develop transferable thinking skills...#ComputationalThinking buff.ly/gjF7FCz
@scidata.bsky.socialLearning is what humans do by nature. Even if we're not engineers. The current "AI" wave is actually the outsourcing of thought. The enshittification of thought in fact. The KIM-1 and its cousins were true intelligence amplifiers.
