I wonder is there a version GoL where every bit on a computer-display or LCD TV is one cell? How does it look?
Should be easy to do on my phone: https://itch.io/post/15723528
Totally off-topic, and I may be wrong, but I immediately loved the non-LLM writing-style and felt glued to the content just through the writing alone. It's getting rare.
I have not felt that it was becoming rare. Certainly on platforms like YouTube you can see automated processes cranking blandness at scale. I haven't found it encroaching on the topics that interest me like toy electronic projects, how some ancient game rendered its Sprites, colour space analysis, or a compiler that fits in a tweet, I'm sure there are an abundant source of 'How I hustled a thumpawangy into $1000 a mo…

Personally, I can barely stomach reading LLM writing. I find myself closing lots of articles after a sentence or two. I wonder how this plays out longer-term regarding engagement.
In probably another year or two I expect the metrics will show that it is a positive turn off. Unfortunately we're on the cutting edge of this particular movement and there's still a lot more "value" to be "extracted" from the general public before they all get wise to it too. The next problem we'll face after that, with the 1-2 years newer AIs of the time, is that the default LLM voice is just a particular affectati…
This is fantastic. I happen to own a physical pong table. Everyone loves it. [0] There is something magical about material and only-does-one-thing instantiations of digital things. —— I am really looking forward to a flat table top screen consisting of millions of magnetically-controlled vertical-extruding rod pixels, with actual color controlled pixels along their length. For an amazing table display/extrusion of D&…
And optimize for repair when one of the thousands of actuators gets stuck or burns out… Here’s a thought, though: you’ve seen the sand table + kinect projection mapping demo? What about that, plus a two-axis moving magnet sand mandala marble drawing table? The actuator could draw the path /sculpt the terrain, then release the marble and grab the figurines?
Yeah, that would provide a much richer environment for table top role play games. And allow for telepresence meet ups.

In my case a $300 camera that produces worse photos than an old flagship $50 camera from eBay

Novation Launchpad used to be exactly that: you send MIDI CC messages with proper values and you can light up the grid (with different colors). Did that a few years back, i guess this might still be possible
> used to be Looks like they are still around? https://novationmusic.com/launchpad Also seems to be in stock locally. The device that I think popularized that design (citation needed) was the Monome ( https://monome.org/ ) that looks like it is also still around and it has (always had?) some kind of open source license ( https://github.com/monome ).
Yes Monome was this initial inspiration then followed by many, but it was way more expensive and niche IIRC
