Andreas S. 2024-04-22 13:32:39 Konrad Hinsen 2024-04-22 15:45:28 Yes, this is an interesting development. Its main weakness so far is the scarcity of nanopublications, which is caused by the need to create them manually, a rather unpleasant for humans. There is ongoing research on using LLMs to derive nanopublications from papers, but the obvious risk there is getting them wrong.
I think the best future for nanopublications would be authors provide them along with papers. But I have no idea what would actually convince authors to do so.
Konrad Hinsen 2024-04-22 15:57:33 Let me add though that many concrete ideas from this presentation look rather dubious to me. For example "publish first - worry about quality later", with the "webs of trust". Upfront trust doesn't work for complex subject. Even the most careful scientists make mistakes. You can never say "I trust author X". Trust can only be derived from expert judgement on a precise statement.

Dennis Hansen 2024-04-26 18:24:08 Glad you enjoyed it! seeing the details of dynamicland was new for me too. Really awesome stuff and can't wait to see where it goes.
Naveen Michaud-Agrawal 2024-04-27 15:50:14 The new DynamicLand website will soon go up (May 2024) and should have everything they've worked on for the past few years.
Duncan Cragg 2024-04-25 21:18:14 J. Ryan Stinnett 2024-04-25 21:31:16 I've heard of it and watched a few videos I think... I haven't attended yet though.
Ivan Reese 2024-04-25 21:47:18 Yep! A bunch of community-adjacent folks presented there. I think it was just a one-off, though. @Zeeshan Lakhani, any plans for a second go?
Zeeshan Lakhani 2024-04-26 01:34:08 Ivan Reese Boris and co helped set up a regional/local CI in LA and some others are brewing in the vein. I think future ones will be more informal than what we did w/ the first one (which I led curation on).
Zeeshan Lakhani 2024-04-26 01:34:49 But, possible theyāll try another bigger one (and combine that with smaller, community-led ones)
Joshua Horowitz 2024-04-25 23:19:10 This year Iām helping organize LIVE, the Workshop on Live Programming. A lot of folk here in FoC are working on projects related to livenessā¦ I encourage you to consider submitting your work!
(Here, ālive programmingā means āgetting immediate feedback on the behavior of your program even while youāre programming itā. That includes āLearnable Programmingā-style interfaces, spreadsheets, notebooks, REPL-y stuff, interfaces for live performances with code, many interfaces for making art with code...)
LIVE is an academic conference, but itās attracted great work from people both in and outside the academy. Submitting a project to LIVE might be an opportunity to communicate about your work in a new way and get thoughtful feedback on it from a new community. (We have some tips for non-academics in our FAQ.)
The submission deadline is July 7 . The workshop will be some day TBD October 20-25, 2024 in Los Angeles .
Feel free to DM me if you have questions or concerns; Iād be excited to help out. š
