I love this, I have a friend who has a 3d printer and we started looking at the repo for this project to print the mechanical shift register and play with a physical toy representation of storing a bit of data: https://github.com/mattmoses/MechanicalComputingSystems
Edit: I love that other people are thinking about this around now
Thank you for this - it dissolved an assumption I had about vscode ssh - that it was similar to Tramp

I think a skill here is learning a bias for experimentation and accepting the results one finds. Also the book "Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned" showcases the kind of open ended play that results in people discovering stuff like this.
The reasoning steps look reasonable and the interface is simple and beautiful, though Deepthought-8b fails to disambiguate the term "the ruliad" as the technical concept from Wolfram physics, from this company's name Ruliad. Maybe that isn't in the training data, because it misunderstood the problem when asked "what is the simplest rule of the ruliad?" and went on to reason about the company's core principles. Cool release, waiting for the next update.
Must not know who ASAP Rocky is because it didn't deal with him
Thank you

Seems like if you add more "a"s to W[a..]t you slide a scale from disgusted to awed to comical.

Archive itself has issues for me
Really cool! Did you go through Robert Lang's Origami Design Secrets? Lots of neat algorithms there. Also his free and open source desktop application TreeMaker for automating origami folds just like you have here.
Surprised they don't use Jaccard looms
We got the cyberpunk future, and we also got... Animorphs.
It is currently 80% of the way towards becoming the Microsoft of AI now

I had a dream like this many years ago, but it was Beyonce yelling at me to leave the house quickly to avoid getting late for work. When I woke up I only had time to leave the house.

How does cargo prevent reproducible builds?
I watched this talk, which describes the current von Neumann computer architecture as "analog communication with digital computing". This consumes more energy than digital communication with analog computing. Projects like Neurogrid, Intel's Loihi chip and pretty much any system that can efficiently run spiking neural networks.
Neuromorphic computing is where this is going.
