Bret Victor - Media for Thinking the Unthinkable

[@leoclub626]

This video has been a life changing experience for me.

[@gorillapimpin2978]

+leoclub626 how has it changed your life?

[@leoclub626]

+Ja Ka I am doing a startup in this space now.

[@gorillapimpin2978]

leoclub626 interesting, what is it called?

[@dan9948]

Prashant Chhonker - Where can I learn more about your work? I am also pursuing something, and maybe we could benefit from an exchange of thought

[@samholt279]

+Prashant Chhonker, +Dan Cook, Can you both share more details about your work, I am also working on something very similar, would love to work together, exchange thoughts. Contact me via email at: vertokli74 (at) gmail.com . Talk soon, best, Sam

it's a moment of profound sadness realizing that this gem of a video had only 18k views.

[@TheAIEpiphany]

Cracking this problem vs cracking a particular say maths problem is like building a platform company vs building the apps on top of that platform. Platforms are always the biggest game changers, yet rarely who will opt in to build them. Great presentation, thank you Bret!

[@grawss]

It's sad that most companies don't understand this, and tend to move in the opposite direction due to the fear that comes with the freedom and power a platform can provide. I think too many see dollar signs when someone uses their platform to create something amazing, and they believe locking things down will somehow fix the issue, when in fact the amazing thing being created wouldn't have happened if those locks were in place from the beginning.

This is a video I watch from time to time to keep the motivation going! One of the greatest talks I've seen!

[@itsdavidmora]

Same!

[@juanmiguelrodriguezceron5422]

I am so impressed that I am clapping alone in my living room. Awesome talk, thanks for uploading it.

[@eyobgemechu823]

lol

[@taggosaurus]

Same bro. I come back to this video all the time.

[@localsymbiosis]

THIS IS BRILLIANT. I also don't know if I have ever come across a video with more than 1000 views on youtube without a single downvote.

[@benfield1866]

god this is so good. A well designed interface can unlock new ideas and new methodologies of thinking. Such an important message for anyone involved in the creation of technology.

[@mastodans]

This is fantastic. The demo at 18:23 reminds me of the slide rule in that one can immediately see many possible values (proportions) at once. This is humane computing.

[@celestius]

if you want to make a giant presentation display out of a grid of smaller ones, consider using an odd number of screens for (especially) the vertical dimension: 10:31

[@anastasiadunbar5246]

What the fuck Bret Victor, you done it again.

[@MajinHico]

This video one of the greatest videos on youtube and it has only < 14000 views. Whats on earth is happening with us?

[@smil1906]

Agreed. I am guessing this is too dense for some. I showed this to some colleagues at work (with the intention to motivate people) but almost all of them did not see the point & got bored. All of them programmers.

[@h0ph1p13]

I am a programmer too and I am excited. This talk reminds me of Jypiter Notebook project + mindmapping. So cool!

[@ayushsinha1813]

This is a great video, one of the best in modern times on YT but a question remains, how can I, who has difficulty in understanding traditional research papers, decompress them and represent them in this new medium, unaided? In all these examples Bret knew what all these concepts were and he represented them in this way, how can I do the same?

[@h0ph1p13]

You will have to either get aid from someone else who understands them.. or learn enough in the field to understand them yourself. There are tons of online courses on multiple topics. Some are free and on youtube. Others are cheap and available.. there's libraries also (although that's obvious) What do you want to make, actually?

[@storerestore]

That Hamming quote could as well have been said by Timothy Leary

[@saradmohanan]

which is that last tool

[@JimmyGunawanX]

This makes Apple Swift a very modern language, but still takes few more iteration, until Swift Playground is making apps.

[@aoeu256]

Basically we need programming and information to be WYSIWYG like Pharo and Smalltalk...

[@h0ph1p13]

Not sure if we "need" but well... wysiwyg is a cool idea indeed

[@badradish3137]

well i'm converted.

[@johanneskingma]

twitter account no longer exists

[@berbudy]

3:22 wow seeing this now, this is what neuralink try to achieve

[@gorillapimpin2978]

having a bit of difficulty understanding how these shapes are related to machine learning

[@spacedoohicky]

What do you mean?
