The idea is basically to write or extend a drawing application with a "magic pen" that allows configuration through a text prompt. E.g. "pixelart mid-age mossy stone" and then draw on an existing graphic to adjust the details. Work is currently superseded by the CLIPig2 implementation in nn-experiments.

tool and website for graphing the top shareholders/insiders in (north american) capitalism

I was following some crazy stream of desire to once and for all point the finger at the true enemies of beauty, creativity and well-being of nature and mankind... using the nasdaq.com API. Not the official one of course, but their internal website API which is not restricted by quota. Still it was days and days of downloading to get (probably) the whole graph of shareholders and insiders from the nasdaq database.

Can i point the finger now? Sure! Blackrock, Vanguard, Fidelity, T. Rowe Price, Morgan Stanley, Wellington, Bank of America ... simply the big bubbles.

It is actually super creepy! The only fun fact i got from this experiments is this: Amazon is a little kitten compared to those investment funds. But thinking seriously about it: If Amazon already dictates prices and work conditions how f**king mighty is Blackrock?

Same purpose as the teletext-archive-unicode - analyzing trends in news. Here the titles, teasers and image texts of a number of different german papers are stored.

Learned: That committing a hundred html pages every 15 minutes makes the repository grow to over 700mb in two weeks. That's what happened to the predecessor. And i didn't really wanted to wait for github staff to examine and close the repo. The predecessor still collects a snapshot every month. Just to be able to take a look at the raw data and measure the development of applied scripts, ads and tracking.

web-utilized react synthesizer test

Just stumbled over the Web Audio API. Actually i wanted to see if it's possible to program an efficient synthesizer in javascript. As it turns out, this API provides an interface that is exactly for building synthesizers...

So then i wanted to see if React can be used to drive the event-loop of the step-sequencers. Did not want to use redux this time and learned about React Hooks and especially useReducer and all these magic functions.

As to be expected, the timing of setTimeout driving the react dispatchers is not good enough to drive an audio machine correctly (where 20 milliseconds off are already perceived as not in the beat). It's fun though! Have a try...

Thought: If i write the raytracer (in this case a sphere-tracer) in python, there are endless pythonian things i can do on top to create amazing images.

python elasticsearch query module for easily accessing nested aggregations and such

This is a library for Elasticsearch queries. They provide their own library for that but it does not help with either generating the right query or accessing the results in a sane manner. Elastipy has a fully typed interface and tries to be smart with aggregation responses, converting them into simplified dicts or pandas DataFrames.

Learned: Generating documentation and examples from jupyter notebooks. And that the whole documentation system in python is good only on the surface. Actually it's painful, not well documented and time consuming. No surprise, why all the major libs have their own documentation infrastructure (hacked Sphinxes).

In an amazon fulfillment center near you the job application turns out to be against a bunch of newly designed super-efficient robots!

Started reworking the pickpack idea into python to experiment with Maximum Expected Utility described by Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (Russel & Norvig). But it's still missing a straight game design.

Basically, you are picking and packing in an amazon fulfillment center against a bunch of super-efficient robots. The idea is, that the robots would actually need to cheat (stay in your way, put wrong stuff into your parcels, ..) if you are really good. Of course, if the ever-present fulfillment center's performance measures are too low, the manager should come complaining.

Learned: In python you won't get millions of search branches checked per second so you have to rely more on heuristics and cheats.

momentarily a django using the shadertoy public api

Another personal plaything related to shadertoy.com. Besids the official API it also allows crawling the shadertoy website / internal API to retrieve comments.

One of the goals is to be able to somehow search for specific formulas / syntax trees, by parsing all the GLSL in python. The parser somewhat works by adjusting an old Backus-Naur for C-- that i found and adding the few GLSL specific things (glsl.lark) and run it in lark. But it exponentially explodes in runtime when shown long and complicated formulas.

Botlove python server and client + webclient

Inspired by the original Botwars for which i don't find the link right now. But this seems to be a somewhat worthy predecessor. Basically it's about playing a competitive game by providing source code. The original Botwars was simply a grid of memory cells which are executed and which try to overwrite and patch each other. The winner is the one with the most occupied cells.

My version is more the classic 2D environment, using signed distance functions which allows for easy implementation of distance sensors and the like.

It's a cool game and Francis has been working for decades on efficient alpha-beta pruning for this particular rule set.

We forked ChessX which is a Qt/C++ project, mainly for archiving and studying chess games, and extended it to both Shatra versions and added a play mode.
