Reminds me of novel locomotion policies discovered in MuJoCo environments, except that they work in the real world!

I was looking for an "immediate-mode" way to work with differentiable vector graphics. Ended up developing a small lib, Dpy5, which provides a Processing-like API around DiffVg, where all primitives are differentiable. Code and examples here github.com/colormotor/dpy5

Introducing MorphoHDL, a minimal language prototype for growing boolean circuits! paradigms-of-intelligence.gi… Early this year I wanted to design a size-agnostic graph rewrite rule system that could build functional boolean circuits. First I thought about "chemistry"-like reactive systems, but rules were too complicated with many different node types carrying multiple indices... Then I realized, that cell division is much more natural way of building complex structures, and once I started to treat graph edges as buses instead of single wires, everything clicked. No new formalism — just taking good old recursion and seeing how far I can push it. Ripple-carry adder, Brent–Kung adder, multipliers ... and some Haeckel-esque creatures along the way! Hope you enjoy the report of my journey and the demos.

Love this online ASCII banner generator (a FIGlet interface). It has been online for decades and keeps being useful network-science.de/ascii/

A rungler-inspired vocal synth that speaks in tongues. An envelope-shaping effect with polymeters and time you can skew and bend. Meet the new every something plug-ins (AU/VST3)! cdm.link/every-something-art…
