[#]genuary31 prompt: pixel sorting.

This took a lot of effort since I have zero experience with GLSL, but it's a success in the end. The pixels are sorted, indeed.

[#]genuary26 prompt: symmetry.

[#]genuary27 prompt: something interesting with no randomness or noise.

If there's gotta be no randomness, you need to introduce control. I made this cute discontinued device called the #Monome Arc work with #PyScript. This is usually driven by a UDP server, but turns out browsers can't use UDP, so I wrote a WebSocket bridge. Looks like it works 😎

[#]genuary21 prompt: a collision detection system.

[#]genuary25 prompt: one line that doesn't intersect itself.

The line segments really don't intersect. The first few seconds don't explain it, but things get more obvious later. Sound on.

It's been a while, huh? The core․py podcast is back with an episode about reference counting! 🎙️

I know y'all are waiting for the GC episode but we need to eat the veggies first. Pablo and I hope it's fun anyway. We bet it is! 🍀

[#]genuary18 prompt: What does wind look like?

[#]genuary22 prompt: Gradients only.

Looks more like a plant or urchin than wind, but this is where I ended up 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is a breakneck pace. I'm falling behind the submissions, but hopefully things will get smoother from now on.

[#]genuary17 prompt: What if pi=4?

[#]genuary19 prompt: Op art.

I couldn't come up with anything impressive for just pi=4 so I combined it with op art, then it came to life, especially if you have a comparison right away. This is why the video contains the Python prompt on the top and you can see the drastic change when pi becomes 4 for a while.

Apple Intelligence must be pretty embarrassing for them. So much hype and such underdelivery so far.

The screenshot shows an Apple Intelligence summary of some #Mona (Mastodon client) notifications. In reality, #Mona uses the image in notifications to visually denote whether the push is a like (orange star) or a boost (green recycle icon). So most Mona summaries are like that.

It's just one example in a string of inaccurate summaries, many of which to the point of being misleading.

So to post on Pixelfed you need an account on a Pixelfed server. But you can follow Pixelfed accounts from Mastodon, which means my timeline's gonna become much more beautiful.

[#]genuary14 prompt: Pure black and white. No gray.

An animated GIF demonstrating realtime webcam processing with #PyScript and Three.js. Should work with your webcam, too:

https://ambv.pyscriptapps.com/genuary-prompt-14/latest/

Yeah, there are 4 colors in the resulting animated GIF, but that's only because it was scaled down from 1080p.

[#]genuary11 prompt: Impossible day.

[#]genuary12 prompt: Subdivision.

I combined the prompts since what I wanted to do for ages now is frequency-aware realtime audio visualization. This is the result. Makes most sense with the volume up.

As you can confirm in the source code, the lighting action is all driven by the music.

[#]genuary8 prompt: Draw one million of something.

[#]genuary9 prompt: The textile design patterns of public transport seating.

Not much time so combined two prompts. Efficiency! In Poznań 🇵🇱 my most memorable bus and tram upholstery had weird bright shapes on deep green. I made 1 mil spheres, added a halftone filter to the rendering pipeline so it looks more like fabric. Et voila.

[#]genuary7 prompt: Use software not intended to make images.

I wrote a Python program that takes an image and produces a .WAV file. This audio file sounds TERRIBLE, but viewed with an audio editor's spectrogram capability... shows the image 😎
