Author of "wake up" here. Yes, that one reactivated me again. We thought (as size coding community) that we found every cellular automaton trick years ago, but then Plex came around and showed us otherwise ♥
I'm really impressed. Those are the things that made me love programming and computing. It's all so beautiful, it's TRULY art. It's a shame that in the industry we don't usually have the opportunities to make something like that, with AIs and all that...
This sent me on a one hour long rabbit hole that ended with two guys building a Sierpinski triangle with recursive PowerPoint presentations

Thank you for that. Refreshing! :)
One of the linked demos, "rainbow surf", got me hypnotized. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKLhH_ANwIc

Makes me wonder how many bytes the shortest possible Mandelbrot implementation would need.
Author of "wakeup" here. You would would need between 32 and 64 bytes. I have something that almost looks like one in 32 but it's not published yet ;)
I did NOT expect this 16 bytes demo to also have sound! What an outstanding piece of art.
Some other time, I really thought that a 32 byte demo I saw is the limit of how small the binary can get and still look good.
That other demo didn't even have sound.
This is hell of a good work. A masterpiece to retire after. (or more realistically, chase it on other architectures)
Definitely thought this was a 16b parameter llm, not a 16 byte demo.
Same! This is way cooler tho!

If this was made in Electron it would probably be a 300MB download and around 1GB of RAM.
i can barely accept this is possible
i'll upvote this each time it's submitted
love the sign "This text is handwritten" at the bottom, that's awesome
This is absolutely obscene. I am floored. Sweet hack.
But big model is really better
