If this interests you, it’s worth taking a look at Genetic Programming. I find it to be a simpler approach at the same problem, no math required. It simply recombines programs by t…

There is also a Python implementation in the repo. I’m using Kubelka-Munk for pigment mixing, but the gradients it produces are so lovely that it really should be used in generativ…

Click bait, the article is written about a median of 500 sampled rivers and lakes in the US. Those could be anything (such as one of numerous superfund site runoff waterways). If y…

My dad works in the Molecular Foundry division at LBNL / Lawrence Berkeley Labs (Dept of Energy and UC Berkeley), and loves it. He started there 40 years ago working in electron mi…
