BBC Microbit kids hardware platform uses WebUSB. It’s a game changer for introducing hardware to students. Just works. Makecode.microbit.org is the web IDE. Reference URLs for the code make sharing and debugging easy.

So cool!

very cool! FYI the original project mentioned is at https://solvingsol.com/. open contribution at https://github.com/wholepixel/solving-sol

Generative AI image bitmaps lack internal detail to enable effective collaboration.

Designers can label SVG elements in their design tools for effective coding collaboration with LLMs. A tool is presented to make this easier.

I just went down the same rabbit hole, it is totally fun! https://turbek.com/Designing-Interactive-SVGs-with-AI/

TLDR:

- SVG image files: powerful like HTML

- Supported widely in browsers

- Designer tools make SVGs

- SVGs are written in a language

- LLMs are great at manipulating language

- Designers can collaborate interaction into life

I don't think LLM's are that great at manipulating SVG unless you mean like small edits like rotation and font size. Cool article though, I'll have to think how I can leverage it.

Of course, but in comparison to bitmap tools like midjourney, you can communicate with an AI by specifying a SVG element to be manipulated. "Rotate ID "logo" 30 degrees" is very legible to the AI

I’ve been saying “There is a real you, unfortunately, you’re not it.”

I watched an interview with Carrie Fisher years ago where she was talking about her struggle with drug abuse. She said something that I thought was quite inciteful, "I am but a spy in the house of myself."

I think the opposite is equally true.

"There is a real you. Unfortunately, it's you."

"That's ridiculous", said the hivemind-module of a mobile megafortress powered by a swarm of nanomachines.

Speaking as a guy who meditates, EVERYTHING dissolves when you look at it closely. To reveal another "reality". And then that reality dissolves. And so on.

This is above my expertise, might be a better comment for this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43859464

YES! he is the OG of these animations.

There are also cool sites like https://507movements.com

In some ways we are all building from the same source material. I put as much of the historical resources into this custom research page https://mechanical-library.org/mechanical-wonderland

Your animations are great! 507Movements was the one I was thinking of, several past submissions:
