CS doesn’t have a monopoly on computing education: Programming is for everyone

Computing Education Research Blog

I was on a panel Assessments for Non-CS Major Computing Classes (see the ACM DL paper here ). Her talk was particularly relevant to me because she emphasized how she is studying business students, not computer science students her research is about how non-CS students interact with computing and programming.

Best Academic Research Tools for Researchers and Educators

Educators Technology

While my academic background is in the social sciences and more specifically educational studies, I believe that regardless of your discipline, social sciences or natural sciences, the research process, structurally speaking, is more or less the same. What you need is access to academic search engines.

Will AIs Take All Our Jobs and End Human History—or Not? Well, It’s Complicated…

Stephen Wolfram

And all I’ll be able to do here is give a snapshot of my current thinking—which will inevitably be incomplete—not least because, as I’ll discuss, trying to predict how history in an area like this will unfold is something that runs straight into an issue of basic science: the phenomenon of computational irreducibility.

The Physicalization of Metamathematics and Its Implications for the Foundations of Mathematics

Stephen Wolfram

We can think of the ruliad as the entangled limit of all possible computations—or in effect a representation of all possible formal processes. Many of these consequences are incredibly complicated, and full of computational irreducibility. And in a way our Physics Project begins from a similar place.
