🗨️ Denny Vrandečić: 📔 Architecture for a multilingual Wikipedia

🧵 conversation @ 2025-10-07

I think I shared this before, but Ivan told me to share this again because he thinks it is fascinating: I am working on a project called Wikifunctions. Wikifunctions was built in order to support Abstract Wikipedia, as described in this paper introducing Abstract Wikipedia and Wikifunctions. It is a short paper (here's the PDF), but there is also a long version with far more details.

The goal of Wikifunctions is to allow for the creation of Abstract Wikipedia, to create natural language text from a language-independent notation anyone can edit directly, using functions from Wikifunctions. These functions are aimed to be writeable and maintainable also by non-programmers.

So far, Wikifunctions has collected a catalog of more than 3100 functions, in diverse areas such NLG, chemistry, maths, colors, etc.

📔 Architecture for a multilingual Wikipedia

Wikipedia's vision is a world in which everyone can share in the sum of all knowledge. In its first two decades, this vision has been very unevenly achieved. One of the largest hindrances is the sheer number of languages Wikipedia needs to cover in order to achieve that goal. We argue that we need a new approach to tackle this problem more effectively, a multilingual Wikipedia where content can be shared between language editions. This paper proposes an architecture for a system that fulfills this goal. It separates the goal in two parts: creating and maintaining content in an abstract notation within a project called Abstract Wikipedia, and creating an infrastructure called Wikilambda that can translate this notation to natural language. Both parts are fully owned and maintained by the community, as is the integration of the results in the existing Wikipedia editions. This architecture will make more encyclopedic content available to more people in their own language, and at the same time allow more people to contribute knowledge and reach more people with their contributions, no matter what their respective language backgrounds. Additionally, Wikilambda will unlock a new type of knowledge asset people can share in through the Wikimedia projects, functions, which will vastly expand what people can do with knowledge from Wikimedia, and provide a new venue to collaborate and to engage the creativity of contributors from all around the world. These two projects will considerably expand the capabilities of the Wikimedia platform to enable every single human being to freely share in the sum of all knowledge.

I've been working on an app that provides a user-friendly interface to Linear Programming solvers, specifically for resource allocation problems. I have a UI that works, and it is getting data into the solver, however I don't think I'm setting up my solver correctly yet :0

🗨️ Daniel Harris: 🎥 shopping interface

🧵 conversation @ 2025-10-11

What the hell am I doing? I've built (with AI) a mock up of a shopping interface where I can make it more complex and more simple. But in a usable, production version of this I'm imagining nothing in the user interface is hardcoded and the UI responding to a variable quality of complexity. But how would we go about encoding the interactive elements so that we could filter based on the quality of complexity? And how do we do this for other quality vectors? How do we take a slice through a set of interactive logic? How do we represent the logic of interaction? I don't really know how I got here. But now that I have I need your help to figure out how we do this without AI. Because I want to do this not just for a shopping interface but for all my computing. I want malleable interfaces and interactions where I can filter qualities of the interface easily. If you don't know, then take a guess because I'm after any threads I can get. Cheers!

Y'all may appreciate this new indie game whose development I've been following, where you get to build a subway system based on modern US census data! The dev manually recreated the Apple Maps style in WebGL too.
