ChatGPT with Rob Miles - Computerphile
Very interesting look at how ChatGPT was trained, it's misalignment and the kinds of errors it makes as a result.

Very good interview about DeepMind and more.
This is pretty neat - generating CAD models using Python code and a jQuery-fluent-style "selector" API.
A little Mastermind game and puzzle solver (play against the computer or use it to cheat against a human) I wrote using SolidJS.
I made a Python package! It's simple function to do SolidJS style updating of nested Python objects. Mostly just something to get my feet wet with PyPI etc.
Another great film from Beau and co.
Good article on company organisation/prioritisation of projects etc.
Simple and slick JavaScript UI framework.
Nice intro/summary of these fascinating videos. The shorts are really something else!
A good case for optimism and I like the idea of protopia: A world that is a little bit better each day.
Another fun video from Beau Miles.
Rubik's Cube patterns gallery with algorithms (somehow this concept hadn't occurred to me until a 9yo "messed up" my cube!)
Handy reference for an algorithm to solve the Rubik's Cube (achievement unlocked!)
I quite like the idea of a build system that's self contained so that you can run it locally or from a CI provider.
Excellent interview. Can't wait for the book!
This is a good talk on solving the eternity puzzle.
"I see a world absolutely awash with loose money and speculation because the various governments of the world, unwilling to make any serious structural changes that would threaten the present status quo, have decided to solve every problem by printing more money to throw at it."
Really good summary of the history of analog computers. Need to remember that all the cogs etc. have analog electronic analogs too which means this doesn't all have to be brass cogs...
Nice video explaining how Bézier curves work.
Interactive article explaining how curves and surfaces are modelled.
This tool is amazing: Paste in a command line and it will parse the options and show the relevant help and man pages.
These videos are great, well produced, calm, informative and inspiring.
Very cool stuff.
Cool talk by Simon Willison on collecting and mining personal data.
This is epic and/or insane!
