Prototyping Clear's pull-to-add interaction with Play
I give myself an hour to replicate the Clear app's pull-to-add-task interaction using Play, a prototyping tool. The results are somewhat frustrating, unfortunately.

How Might We Learn?
Переглядів 2 тис.Місяць тому
Presented at the UCSD Design Lab for Design@Large. May 8, 2024. When people talk about the most rewarding, high-growth periods of their lives, a pattern emerges: they learned a lot, but learning wasn’t the point. Instead, they were immersed in some purpose with real personal meaning-like a startup, a research project, or a burning question-and they learned whatever was important along the way. ...

An attempt to learn Origami better for rapid interaction prototyping. Set a timer for two hours, and tried to reimplement Arc Search's pinch-to-summarize interaction. The results were frustrating.
Studying with Dwarkesh Patel - "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths
Переглядів 19 тис.Рік тому
Dwarkesh Patel, host of the Lunar Society podcast, has been learning quantum mechanics. He was chatting with me about study methods, and we realized that it might be interesting to record a video of me studying his textbook, talking aloud about my thought process, and using my memory system prototype to help me internalize the material. This video is unscripted. You'll see me making lots of mis...

Sharing a few exciting pieces of news: 1. Our Patreon community now generates 2/3 of an NSF CAREER grant, a standard early-career grant for researchers in the sciences. 2. I'm open-sourcing Orbit: github.com/andymatuschak/orbit 3. Thanks to gifts from a few generous donors, I now have a modest budget to hire some technical help for my work with Orbit. Hooray and thank you for your support!
2020-05-04 Note-writing livestream

As an experiment, I live-streamed a morning note-writing session on Twitch.
Most promising prospect I have encountered of AI-based tool for education & learning. Being proactive, reflective, interactive & embodying real-world knowledge and awareness always seems to be the achilles heel where current gen AI tutors fall short. It always seems too cosmetic, to some degree even hilarious, taking guidance from something that doesn't partake in the highs & lows, pains & pleasurs of learning, alongside the learner. It's the journey not the destination, albeit in a planned manner !
I could definitely use a tool like this!

Glad to see you posting videos, hope to see more soon!
great video !!!
your laugh at downloaded extensive pinch nodes was heartwarming :) good to have You back with design “work walkthrough”, workthrough?. I am still hoping for more writting session in the future (especially with books on design)
I keep returning to your quantum mechanics video. I'm excited for this one too.
I think you'll be disappointed! :)
This was awesome! Thanks for showing your process. Very helpful to see the ways that you approach generating and understanding ideas.
Insanely informative video. This is a “how I do it” video, as opposed to “how you should do it video”. Worlds of difference appart.
fascinating!
This is fascinating, both in the new mnemonic Andy is demonstrating and the background quantum mechanics stuff. I'm following about 50% level (rusty in calculus) but am super curious and really dig the method of learning you guys are showing off. Good stuff!
Oh em gee, mathpix is super neat! Thanks Andy! For the super helpful video Now if only I had this pdfjs thing...
a little bit surprised how much of this i already do. when doing a tutorial, i make a google doc and write lots of questions in it, anytime i feel i don't 100% understand something - which is a lot. and then try to answer those questions, if it's answered later.
Hi Andy, Is the software used in the video part of orbit project, if so could we expect it to be available?
GULP
I’m still watching this and finding it absolutely fascinating. May I now what tool you’re using to annotate the pdf?
Idk why but watching this is soo satisfying
Thank you for this!
what is he using to identify the characters?
Ive stumbled on this stream video while reading the book "How to take smart notes", and I cannot stress enough how enriching and valuable this video was. Thank you Andy
Kinetic energy is not a type of potential energy. You can think that potential energy is related to position and by position we think of interaction. This formula is related to the Calculus in 3 variables (conservative vector fields). The magnetic force is not conservative, so you cannot derive it as minus the gradient of a potential. Equivalent to kinetic energy is the first term of the Schrodinger equation. You can rewrite the kinetic energy of a particle as K = p^{2}/2m, where p is the momentum (note that there is 2m divided into the Schrodinger equation in the first term). So later in the book you will see the moment operator (which explains why there is a Laplacian).
Hi, could you do another video about in a similar vein? From the video I understood that you are a genius in thinking, but I didn't completely understand what you are writing about. Maybe it's because I'm a foreigner, but I'd be interested in hearing you describe your workflow in a slightly more digestible way for the layperson. Thanks for your inspiring work M
@Andy Matuschak
The software used in the video looks amazing, I'm truly hoping it'll be released at some point
what is the PDF reader they are using, its on localhost
It says pdfjs.
My true education began after I graduated university and discovered Andy's work.
😂
How do you feel about using an infinite canvas to take notes? Would it be better than writing flashcards for elaborative learning?
For that example problem at the end, they do a kind of confusing (and unnecessary) change of variables to get the PDF of distance traveled from the PDF of time. The PDF of distance traveled is not uniformly distributed - the object is moving faster as it falls. However, the PDF of time *is* uniformly distributed - the object is equally likely to be sampled at any time once it starts falling. So, since distance traveled is a function of time, you can calculate expected value of distance like this: E[distance] = integral of distance as a function of time * PDF of time (The bounds on the integral are zero and the maximum height the object can fall) To do it the way they do it, you can do a change of variables with the CDF for time into the CDF for distance then differentiate the CDF for distance to get the PDF, but this is an extra and not very intuitive step. Not sure if this makes any sense in a UA-cam comment but...
Regarding the discussion of Orthodox position around 50:00, I read this in a book “The Making of Atomic Bomb”, which made perfect intuitive sense to me: “But it led Heisenberg immediately to a stunning conclusion: that on the extremely small scale of the atom, there must be inherent limits to how precisely events could be known. If you identified the position of a particle-by allowing it to impact on a zinc-sulfide screen, for example, as Rutherford did-you changed its velocity and so lost that information. If you measured its velocity-by scattering gamma rays from it, perhaps-your energetic gamma-ray photons battered it into a different path and you could not then locate precisely where it was. One measurement always made the other measurement uncertain.”
Thanks so much! I can't wait to see more 😊 Andy, have you/would you ever made your memory system available? (If you have I must be a dunce because I can't find it 😄)
This particular prototype isn't available, no-sorry.
@@andy_matuschak Thanks for the reply! 😊
Andy, can you share links to the tools you use? The clipboard Latex black magic and the setup you use for handwriting. Many thanks
The LaTeX tool is MathPix. For handwriting, I'm drawing on my iPad Pro in Notability. I display its screen on my laptop with QuickTime for the purposes of the video, but I don't when I'm on my own.
what do you use for annotating PDF?
Honestly, the high school students in india know more physics than these guys
does what you wrote strike you as particularly relevant, meaningful, or helpful?
@@ethanjkemp I get ur point. Apologies
Some high schoolers who prepare rigourously for JEE (main/advanced) perhaps. But how many of them remember that stuff years afterwards?
This is super cool. I like when people share their more-tacit knowledge over a live video like this. Thanks taking the time to do this!
So cool
How on Earth are all of us go through the school and college and all other learning and no one ever does say: do the learning this way, spend hour on a page, ask so many questions, go back and forth, etc. Or, even if some one says this in passing, they never _show_ this process like that.
Because universities don't give you time to spend an hour on a page. At least mine doesn't. It's all quantity over quality/depth.
we spend too much time consuming information in school, and too less on evaluation and deeper processing… digesting
Aaaaaaaand im immediately lost. Cya!
Does anyone know of a good revision app where you can input your questions and answers then have them asked back in a similar way to what Andy uses here?
The one I use is called Anki
I've been using RemNote for over a year. Works for me.
@@sakuragisukeluro2489 +1 for anki
Would love to try that software! Thanks for the video
What is the software he uses?
@@julesjacobs1 I second that question!
@@julesjacobs1 the note thing is a custom tool he is working on, apparently. He says it at some point in the video. He seems to be actively developing it because he says he introduced a bug before this video.
I couldn’t get past watching 12 minutes because I didn’t know where you were heading. Suggestion stay what you’re going to do and how it can help us at the beginning. Otherwise, I found it to be a waste of my time to continue. I’m sure what you have to say. It’s very valuable and I really wanted to hear it.
there is no transcript of this live-streaming? :)
I really enjoyed this livestream. I was wondering wondering what is the app you are using for Pomodoro and break?
How do you open a new note or an old note in a new window? And how are all the windows exactly the same in vertical length?
