In the first lecture, Abelson says Computer Science is neither a science nor is it really about computers. Considering the current ML paradigm, maybe CS has finally earned its name as a science.

There's also this interesting study about the difficulty and time requirement of SICP's exercises:
The SICP video lectures with Gerald Sussman and Harold Abelson got me into Scheme and from there on Lisp. Although now I'm wondering if this would be better as a 'Show HN' submission.
i watched the lecture series during the pandemic and commented on many of the youtube videos. in at least one instance, a library function is used on the board that is not compatible with the current function signature in mit scheme.

would be better if you could just use AI to re-do those particular scenes in the video series..
If you are into SICP, you would probably like a nicely formatted html version of the book:

The math stuff is brutal.

Most of the code from the book is also available here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13918465
This is such a fun class!
