The Village Venus effect can remind us that we often think within context and constraints without realising or considering what may be outside them. In that way, it can nudge us to think bigger or look outside our sphere of familiarity.

@rsms @Mappletons @localfirstconf Just read the blog post. It’s all there!

[Martyn Bull @moomoobull]

Do take time to read this very thoughtful piece by @mappletons about #ai tools making it easier for people to build their own apps for solving small scale local needs. It’s a hopeful bright beacon amidst the ai doom landscape. Lovely graphics too!

Did a new talk on why language models making software development faster, easier, and cheaper will create a golden age of home-cooked software & barefoot developers.

#StreetScar We’ve all seen this: the freshly laid paving, newly laid granite setts or Yorkstones lovingly laid on a slow street or in front of a freshly repaired parade of shops. Within months, weeks or, sometimes days, a slice or a square of them are pulled up thoughtlessly...

One of the most important things educators need to know about learning is that human memory is not like a tape recorder or a computer. It has what Bjork and Bjork call “important peculiarities”, four of which are really important to know when planning teaching ⬇️🧵

Thirty years ago, I used the holidays to rewrite our in-house 3d tool from scratch, based on specs and design I worked on for a year. On January 2nd 1994, the first version was running! I'm incredible proud, humbled and impressed of where it went. Happy 30th birthday :) #b3d

This is one of my favourite BTS vids from recording #AcrossTheSpiderVerse where I try and shoddily demonstrate how we "scratched the orchestra" to make the soundtrack feel completely different...

1. Record the orchestra
2. Mix it and stick it onto "vinyl"
3. Re-scratch it in
