On “Ask HN: Has anyone fully attempted Bret Victor's vision?”

This is the latest thing I know of from him and was recorded at the 2022 Foresight Designing Molecular Machines Workshop talk called "Nanoscale Instruments for Visualizing Small Proteins" & Bret Victor comes in about 14:14 1 It shows just how far the Dynamicland concept can be pushed into a hyperspecific feature set customized to fit a single domain -- because they can deconstruct the user experience to that level of detail. Extending a Tangible UI out to the actual OS itself has been the thing at Dynamicland from the get go but here we see it finally as physical 3d objects participating with realtime digital feedback in the built environment !! 1 link to this video

On “Bret Victor: Update July 2023”

His latest demo of Realtalk, Biomolecular design in Realtalk, showcases the strenghts of Dynamicland. Really impressive stuff, as usual. link to this video

On “When Paper Beats the Screen”

A bit wishy-washy, but the general point holds. Since the 90s, I’ve been somewhat surprised to see the PC technology fail to really learn from how well humans have leveraged printed information that is embedded in our environment. I figure screens and projectors are simply harder and more expensive than what would be required for the digital to get paper like. But still, it’s disappointing. Incidentally, just watched a recent Bret Victor talk about his latest application of his RealTalk/Dynamicland system: link to this video

On “Artificial intelligence can revolutionise science”

…ental protocols in a way that can be verified. Sure you can write a python script to control a robot, but it is exceptionally difficult to extract the scientific meaning from that. My PhD work was to develop a formal language for scientific protocols, and I'll be continuing to develop it, but there is still a long way to go. 1. link 2. link 3. link to this video 4. link 5. link…
