  1. I would love to see more technical articles and books written with the same level of clarity.

  6. Ah, another riveting #dissertation on how you’re hopelessly mangling your data structures—because clearly, you aren't confused enough already. 😵‍💫 Yes, let's obsess over canonical outputs and domain separation, because who doesn’t love getting lost in a cryptographic quagmire? 🙄 Spoiler alert: nobody knows how to do it right, but keep trying!

  7. It's probably a lost cause and also too short notice, but I'm still thinking about #AlgoApril, which I proposed back in 2022, but it's an incomplete list of prompts and sadly never took off...

    From the readme:

    Learning about & applying algorithms and data structures for generative art/design, helping to introduce participants to a wider spectrum of techniques.

    Unlike other initiatives like #genuary, #codevember, #nodevember etc., all of which are predominantly using visual/conceptual prompts, the focus of the #AlgoApril initiative is on algorithmic literacy, using technical, algorithmic prompts (of course, with some [visual] references and study materials) without further prescribing how these algorithms should be used. The only aim, goal and hope is for people to creatively engage with these techniques, breaking 'em, hacking 'em and finding interesting uses to create outcomes, which could be considered artistic. Algorithmic layering is encouraged at each turn!

    In some sense, this more "bottom-up" approach to creation is maybe alien to some, but the lack of explicit aesthetic or conceptual/artistic goals has the potential to produce a much wider scope of outcomes (hopefully not only visual - audio, text and other outputs are highly encouraged!). There's also hope it could be more educational, helping people to engage with a larger repertoire of fundamental algorithmic tools and then apply & mix them in their own work/practice.

    Many of the topics & algorithms selected here will have a more or less known visual representation and we encourage everyone to consciously reject these clichés and make honest attempts to find creative other solutions to visualize/sonify/represent them.

    In any way, I'll be following the #AlgoApril hashtag and boosting relevant outcomes to help circulation. I'm currently on a few deadlines, so not sure how much I can contribute myself, but might post some of my own prior art related to the prompts...

  8. 📜 In the 1950s, Dr. Newell and Simon were developing the Logic Theory Machine to simulate human problem-solving. They faced a challenge: tracking an unpredictable number of logical statements. Early machines like ENIAC used fixed-size arrays, where the size had to be predefined.

    🤔Want to know how they solved this, given those limitations?
