this is so brilliant - a writeup of an oldschool demo running on 4096 gates of a tiny tapeout chip www.a1k0n.net/2025/12/19/t...

interesting - this spectral renderer is a hop, skip, and a jump from simulated crystallography (someone I know recently did some work related to simulated crystal growth jbaker.graphics/writings/cry...) - this is a physical, real process used to identify crystals via their diffraction patterns

A rant in the face of the industry's continued neglect and outright hostility towards digital accessibility and care for users.

Made a site comparing the sizes of living things :)

The great Julius Csotonyi spent 5 months painting over 60 illustrations for the site, no ai used

May I interest your ears in a little auditory to-and-fro? A little hither and dither?

My new album: prickly tracks made over something like 6 years on my laptop, generally describable as some sort of "16-bit romplercore progslop". Enjoy!

Server Charms are tiny, portable microcontroller setups made with recycled vape batteries. They create their own Wi-Fi network, inviting curious people to connect with their devices where a captive portal opens, leading to small webpages.

codeberg.org/actinomy/ser...
"To serve is to offer something, a name, a website, a document, an idea –something to be shared, something that connects us. But who serves whom? Serving can be a painful experience. It is a relation that carries histories of gendered violence, histories of slavery, serfdom and oppression as we are taught by archives of resistance, black feminists and anti-colonial scholars. This violence extends to the materialities of the earth which is made to serve as resource, ready to be extracted for the minerals that make up the very chip that carries these thoughts as binary strings of information. Serving does not have to manifest as violence if we insist otherwise. Serving can become an act of empowerment when we build infrastructures that serve the needs of local and remote communities evolving around situated knowledge of those around us – while keeping in mind privilege often determines who has access to a community and its resources. The complexities of the internet with its corporate and state entanglements, its huge data centers, relentless data crawlers and transatlantic fibre cables can feel inevitable. To delink from time to time means to shift our focus back to the local networks and groups that we are already part of. We know that the internet is much more than its corporate occupants, it is about forming connections and sharing resources. Independent, selfmade networks remind us of the physical connections that are the base of all kinds of signal transmissions. Intimate networks that make us share and mitigate our vulnerabilities through trust and kinship. In the smallest scope, networks such as this ones."

My latest creation with Geotoy, built using the alpha wrap function from the CGAL library

I've been getting a ton of value out of this; it's really useful for creating organic-looking structures

You can see it in 3D here: 3d.ameo.design/geotoy/edit/62
(takes ~30 seconds to run)
A screenshot of a 3D model created and rendered with Geotoy. It depicts a multi-layered folded shell enclosed in a spherical area, textured and shaded to look somewhat copper-colored. The surface appears rather shiny and metallic with colors ranging from orange/brown to pink, peach, and crimson. It consists of several separate thin layers of material that warp and curl in roughly the same way as each other, yielding an organic look reminiscent of a smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

what if we hilighted every 4th line of my text editor and then put tidal mininotation in every line and then... called it a tracker.... 🤔 wcgw

A nice shift in perceived colour between central and peripheral vision. The fixated disc looks purple while the others look blue.

The effect presumably comes from the absence of S-cones in the fovea.

I've built a tiny hand-held #keyboard. It's like Meta EMG wristband (www.youtube.com/watch?v=wteF...) but actually working.

Also comes with instructions on building your own one! github.com/mafik/keyer/

I'm playing with visualization of the nand-based circuits. I'm using the awesome graphviz, but sometimes they're too much for it...

... but it's really fun to make absolutely unreadable graphs!

Here's one: the flattened nand viz for a 4-Way 16-bit wide Multiplexer.

I absolutely love it <3
Graph visualization of a 4-Way 16-bit wide Multiplexer. The graph is an absolute mess: nands placed haphazardly, edges crossing everywhere, jumbled inputs and outputs.

I finally merged a branch in my NAND experiments!

I focused on reducing the size, by bit-packing the base encoder

(Almost) all basic logic gates and adders up to 8 bits can be encoded in 78 bytes! zlib and lzma can't even compress it further.

Here's what it looks like:

Here's an update on my small-voxel renderer, inspired by the look of games like Doom and Quake. The work I shared last year focused on handling simpler environment geometry. Since then, I've greatly expanded the scope of what I can depict in this art style. More info in thread.
