I strongly believe that the world needs engineers with strong critical thinking skills, who know how to ask questions, understand bias, construct and evaluate arguments, and think comprehensively and creatively. This paves the way for its use among the general public in the near future.

There’s a public Prompt Repository that so far has several hundred curated prompts. The function Map takes a function f and “maps it” over a list: Comap does the “mathematically co-” version of this, taking a list of functions and “comapping” them onto a single argument: Why is this useful? is PositionSmallest. is PositionSmallest.

In July I was making “encryption-friendly” pictures of rule 30: But what Jack and I were most interested in was doing something more “cryptographically sophisticated”, and in particular inventing a practical public-key cryptosystem based on cellular automata. And it’s basically still not been figured out (and maybe it’s actually impossible).
