My new bitcrusher plugin UI is coming along. #audio #plugin #vst #dsp #graphics #producer

Every single time I use GH Actions I have to make a post/rant about how much I strongly dislike it.

Finally hit the GH copilot rate limit...

UI mock-up for an analog tape wobble plugin.

"Botwatch" is an interesting idea. I've been discussing something like this for a while now. Essentially a trust network for telling humans from bots. I could see a classifier NN being useful here once there is enough data. #ai #llm 7hird.dev/3mhr2nnuhh22...

If you haven't seen this yet, Google is planning to require mandatory developer identity verification for all Android apps, including apps distributed outside the Play Store, taking effect September 2026. This affects every independent and open source Android developer directly.

I'm trying to come up with a good algorithm for sorting RSS items. The problem is that some feeds "spam" new stuff really quick, some feeds are slow and don't update often. So a chronological feed ends up with big groups of items from the same source.

It is mathematically impossible to open a bag of goldfish crackers correctly.

I'm working on a project called "AmbientLab" which is a collection of experimental generative ambient synthesizers and visualizers. Kind of like a weird DAW that only runs weird plugins. (Sound) #audio #music #art #generative

I like to keep personal notes in my repos sometimes. My new meta is to symlink an Obsidian note to the repo and gitignore it. #opensource #programming

A quick clip showing just the "orbital triangle thing" on its own. 🕪 #generative #audio #music #art

I think in an effort to make the clipping better I made it worse. This older video still has some clipping but not as bad. 2 of my new synths running side by side. #generative #art #music

In desperate need of a high-pass filter to deal with the input clipping but this is really pretty neat. #generative #audio #music #art

I'm building a framework for audio/visual experiments. This is a quick demo project but I think it came out pretty cool! #generative #art

Sometimes I forget that `ffmpeg` can do literally anything if you learn to wield it correctly. I was having some thumbnail issues when transcoding videos and Handbrake and `ffmpeg` did exactly what I needed with one (extremely esoteric) command. #opensource

I accidentally just deleted my #7DRL game release post... For the record, here is a link to my 1D cellular automata roguelike game "Rule 255" replicat.itch.io/rule Thanks again to everyone who checked it out!

I completely forgot that we used to actually build entire websites in flash.

I wanted my game to run in the browser. I was originally planning on using C+WASM4 for my #7DRL entry but I knew I wanted high-color gradients. And WASM4 only has 2-bit colors. Ended up with pixi.js for graphics + tone.js for sound. Reasonable stack but idk if I would use it for a game again.

Some more screenshots from the final form of my #7DRL entry. Link to itch.io on my profile.

Super stoked to play some #7DRL entries!

I finally watched OBEX. Such a creative and fun film.

How can you not support devs making game boy homebrew?

Making procedural / generative music is actually easier than it sounds. Even if you don't have a super strong background in music theory / composition. I genuinely wish more indie game devs would try it out.

Palindromic 1D cellular automata have rules that are the same even when mirrored. These have some interesting properties and my game lets you know when you get one. #7DRL

I did have time to add procedurally generated music/sound effects to my #7DRL game btw. It's really pretty cool.

Next year I will make a 7-dimensional roguelike for #7DRL

This is really such a neat idea.

Forcing the keyboard to show with a hidden input element is such a hacky way to add mobile support to a web game but it technically works. #7DRL #jjuhjjhhhjjjj

Honestly, I think my #7DRL entry would work better as a more traditional puzzle game. That being said, the roguelike version is really pretty fun and I'm glad I made it. Might explore the concept as a puzzle game once this is done.

Here's the "title screen" for my #7DRL. It just throws you right into the "action".

If I end up with enough time on my #7DRL game I'd really like to add some generative music / sound effects.

The #7DRL deadline is coming up quick. Kinda regretting taking 2 days off but it needed to happen. Got a ton done last night. I'll port an update soon.

#7DRL vibe check Particle systems always improve the aesthetic

I really dig the ASCII aesthetic but I've always wondered why we don't just use 2 chars per entity? That way the cells are square and we can also convey more information. For instance, "hg" could be "hobgoblin".

Quick update video on my entry in the #7DRL game jam. The world is generated (and regenerated) using elementary cellular automata rules. Recently added: - Animations - Potions - Enemies - Locks/keys (not shown)

Working on my entry for #7DRL. It's an abstract Roguelike game based on 1D elementary cellular automata. You manipulate the world, creating new generations under you, to reach the goal.

Symmetry is cool! Experimenting with post-processing symmetry effects on my cellular automata art tool. Still working on concepts for #7DRL #generative #art

A little of a late start but I think I'm going to join #7DRL. I want to try doing something kind of abstract with 1-D cellular automata for world generation. Something like this.

Organic Geometry. Forms that look or act organic but are constructed entirely from geometric shapes. #genuary25 #genuary2026

So, so stoked for this

This comic is very, very good. So sad but also so excited for the final issue.

There are so many layers to understanding how LLMs work, but it can be really insightful to try building something useful with a "raw" API like Ollama or OpenRouter.

The "ECARS" interface is coming along nicely. The goal here is to make a friendly user interface for generating art based on elementary cellular automata. #generative #art #emergence #procedural

Some treat web accessibility as a checklist to meet legal or technical requirements. But at its core, web accessibility is about people, not code or requirements. Web accessibility is about making sure people with disabilities can use websites, apps, and digital technologies.

A particularly interesting / vibey cellular automata generation IMO

Kinda funny that when you click "save image" in an app, the image is invariably already on your computer in some form or another.

More unsolicited art spam... These are just coming out too cool not to share.

I'm working on a web-ui for generating these kind of images BTW.

I'm improving the aesthetic of the algorithm generating my cellular automata art. Triangles are my favorite shape.

LLMs are fundamentally incapable of novel reasoning. If a relevant scenario isn't in their training data, they fall back to the closest thing that is. The "Car Wash Test" demonstrates this: opper.ai/blog/car-was...
