AI가 어려워하던 기술 도면 문제를 해결하는 사례로, Quiver AI가 CAD 같은 이미지를 SVG로 생성·벡터화하는 기능을 공개했다. 시각적 프로그래밍 기반 접근으로 설계 도면 자동화와 변환 워크플로를 크게 개선할 수 있는 흥미로운 도구다.

New lesson plan created last summer by one of our very own students, Nathan. It's a fun one that combines the iconic chord progression of "La Cucuracha" with programming and creative musical choices. Check it out!

A few years ago, we hosted a Pi Day concert with MAP instructors. Programmer-teacher Walter Bender shared a way to calculate Pi using visual code.
Check out a snippet from the concert for Pi Day today: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxfIWFNJ6xbsQyMmjZaZmJxgdT7nlCIMyP?si=DG1gwDBgQsdBXj8F
New article published! It's on alternative ways of making software more understandable to humans without LLMs, including literate, visual, and natural language programming.
"Programming sucks. Code sucks. It's hard to read, hard to test, and hard to maintain. Only a handful of people can understand any particular software project. These are major problems. I'm here to explain how we can fix them."

"We should embrace visual, literate, and natural language programming in order to better communicate our intentions with machines and with each other. ... Every form of software at every level of the software stack should become accessible to programmers and non-programmers alike."
On Saturday I will be publishing my article about making software development more accessible without LLMs!
Some snippets:
"Layers of abstraction are meant to be predictable and reliable. This is not the case with LLMs. Instead, LLMs stochastically interpret their prompts and predict intentions. If LLMs are a layer of abstraction, they're an incredibly lossy one at best."
"We should embrace visual, literate, and natural language programming in order to better communicate our intentions with machines and with each other. Every form of software at every level of the software stack should become accessible to programmers and non-programmers alike."

A very happy birthday for Music Blocks creator Walter Bender. Uses Pitch Number, draws notes, and has balloons from another project merged into it.
