A nice walk from homotopy to Lie theory to category theory to combinatorics.

Can’t fully understand because there are no words, but the author looks to be making a very neat connection between coalgebras and the executions (here “traces”) of transition systems. Became aware of her work through Adjoint School 2026.

Scientists and engineers like to describe processes or systems made of smaller pieces using diagrams: flow charts, Petri nets, electrical circuit diagrams, signal-flow graphs, chemical reaction networks, Feynman diagrams and the like.   Many of these diagrams fit into a common framework: the mathematics of symmetric monoidal categories.  When we embrace this realization, we start seeing connections between seemingly different subjects.  We also get better tools for understanding open systems: systems that interact with their environment.  This takes us beyond the old scientific paradigm that emphasizes closed systems.

Going down the categorical systems theory rabbit hole; very good exposition from Baez as per usual. I also finally know what a monoidal category is, so that’s pretty handy. I ought to read the paper this talk is based on at some point.

Acsets are a novel infrastructure for handling data of different shapes, based on category theory and implemented in Catlab.jl. Acsets generalize both graphs and dataframes, and allow a much more general approach to data manipulation than was previously available. We will discuss both the mathematics of acsets and some of the metaprogramming techniques we used to implement them in Julia. Finally, we will give examples of how acsets have been key in developing many projects in AlgebraicJulia.

Probably the best AlgebraicJulia tutorial on the planet LOL.

Great pair of talks.

A now classic talk that links propositions, types and categories together.

Today we have thousands of apps to choose from, but it’s difficult to craft our own custom tools that do exactly what we need. Geoffrey Litt’s research explores malleable software: approaching software that feels more like a Lego set that anyone can combine to create their own tools, without programming. This talk will feature demonstrations of malleable software tools developed in contexts from travel planning to collaborative writing. It will also discuss how AI might enable a Cambrian explosion of custom tools created by non-programmers, and what kinds of new software environments will be needed to take advantage of that new power.

Great overview of Geoffrey’s work over the past few years and how LLMs could fit into the future of end-user programming.

This is the text of the keynote speech [Martha Wells] gave today at the annual Jack Williamson Lecture at Eastern New Mexico University in Portales, New Mexico.

Closing keynote at the UIST and SPLASH conferences, October 2014. Preface: http://worrydream.com/TheHumaneRepresentationOfThought/note.html References to baby-steps…

My talk slides from Resonate 2016 about false promises, complexity & dichotomies in the software world

Website version of @ratfactor’s 2023 Forth talk is a great summary & intro to the language and its philosophy of extreme, unwavering simplicity

However, many new users of APL struggle to make sense of the wide array of integrations and tooling support provided by the Dyalog ecosystem, and often feel lost about how to architect their systems, deploy them, and integrate their APL code into new and existing products. This talk addresses these confusions by providing straightforward guidance and best practices, as well as providing a clear roadmap to navigating the wide array of APL tooling and products available.

Lecture by author, social theorist, and environmentalist Murray Bookchin titled “The Ecology Movement: Utopia or Technocracy?” delivered as part of the 1978 Towards Tomorrow event at the University of Massachusetts. Bookchin talks about the current and future state of the ecology movement. He defines the ecology movement as another name for technology and states that the movement is losing its perspective of the word “utopia.”
