This is getting quite a lot of press in the UK https://dominiccummings.com/ - talks quite a lot about Bret Victor

Yeah I am seeing alot of this guy. What is the impact here and what does it mean?

To be honest it seems like a load of rubbish in terms of actually helping government, but if it means he'll throw a few million £ at a Bletchley Park for FoC then it'll be worth it

For reference, Dominic Cummings was previously discussed here: https://futureofcoding.slack.com/archives/C5U3SEW6A/p1567003312002200 and just yesterday in #CGMJ7323Z

What he's up to appears to be a variant of Technocracy: government of a country's resources by whatever are the latest and best rational and technological algorithms or processes, with a goal of high efficiency.
