in these demos "thinking" is disabled, which makes the model return tokens very quickly (all videos are realtime), and I find these rapid responses pretty good for the use-cases I'm experimenting with, like:
executing simple diagrams ...

Disappointed to find that the Exploratorium's website doesn't have any explorables on it.
The Computer History Museum website has a browsable catalog that actually feels like a website for a museum.
The Exploratorium ought to have a website that feels like a website for an exploratorium!

The AFOLs in the comments seem to really hate this thing, but it's fun to see Lego basically productizing tangible programming research.

Oh that is a cool idea! I like it even for non-color values. Like .xy0 to get something's shadow on the xy plane.

Here's a little spatial / tangible tool I made to explore an algorithm with my hands and eyes.
I saw an error diffusion matrix on wikipedia and it looked vaguely like a circle, so I built this board game-inspired tool to feel out just how spatial it actually was.

This is the best puzzle game I played last year. I played it on my phone — highly recommend it!
In case you missed it, LOK Digital is now available on Nintendo Switch!
One of the best language puzzle games of all time is coming to Nintendo Switch · Thinky Games
We've been singing the praises of LOK for years now: first there was a physical puzzle book, then a digital Steam adaptation, and now a whole new group of players will be able to discover this cryptic little language on Nintendo Switch.

If it were Astrid (my daughter) making the list then, yes, it'd have K-pop Demon Hunters.
But me? I am not golden. This is not how it's done done done. I do not let my patterns start to show.
