#genuary Day 6: "Lights on/off"

Implemented a little ray casting in
#p5js. It's fun how things like brightness falloff "just work" automatically! ^_^

#genuary Day 4: "Lowres"

#tic80 is already pretty low resolution, so… let's go lower, I guess!

Had a lot of fun with this one – so many parameters to tweak! :D

Time for #genuary! I really love the prompts each year, see https://genuary.art/prompts for the full list.

The first prompt is "One color, one shape" – here's my li'l
#tic80 sketch, based on the Pythagorean tiling.

This poll uses plurality voting, and was supposed to demonstrate the "vote splitting" problem, where similar options (different chocolate flavors) reduce each other's chances of winning.

At #39c3, @piko@chaos.social and I gave a (German) talk about different voting systems!

I just published our slides. They contain links to many example polls – feel free to try them, even after the event!

What were some of your favorite talks at #39c3, and what did you like about them?

I thought
https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-51-ways-to-spell-the-image-giraffe-the-hidden-politics-of-token-languages-in-generative-ai was really insightful and well-made! The authors analyzed the behavior of popular text tokenizers, and report some fun discoveries!

(Also, does someone know what the talk with the ~170 slides mentioned in the Infrastructure Review was?)

My "slides" for the "Draw your own mouse cursor theme" workshop are now available here:

If you try it, I'd love some feedback on how easy it is to activate your own themes in the desktop environment/compositor of your choice!
