The difference between the clarity of Dijkstra writing and the text at this link is astounding.

  Vibes aren’t really about clarity, are they? The point is that a clear, programmatic approach is not the only effective computational mechanism for realizing intentions anymore. Keep in mind that Dijkstra had some giant shoulders to stand on. This article is the very first one I’ve ever seen that directly dealt with vibes.

    The thing is, for at least some readers, the attraction of _The Glass Bead Game_ and similar abstractions is that they should be able to communicate more clearly, and without the ambiguity of natural language, but with a naturalness which allows unbridled expression. I really would like to see such a programming system realized, see efforts at: https://github.com/IndieSmiths/myappmaker-sdd https://github.com/IndieSmiths/myappmaker-sdd but the more I work at programming, the more the solution seems to be documentation, and the best system for documenting code and the information about it seems to be: http://literateprogramming.com/ http://literateprogramming.com/ I just need to find the perfect GUI toolkit which allows Bézier Curve representations in a way which clicks and makes sense to me, and suits my next project.

        It was that video which gave me the hope that I would be able to master the math necessary for what I wish to do.

What is with the mix of high academia and lowbrow language? Does the author think it’s cute? Covering for something? > the computations involved in autoencoding… are mathematically intractable OK, so he doesn’t understand what he’s talking about. > Peli Grietzer recently finished his PhD in mathematically informed literary theory at Harvard Comparative Literature How is this a thing.
