Might not look like much, but I trained an RBM I wrote to automatically generate Pokemon:

I also wrote a convolutional layer, but I'm not done debugging it. When that's finished the output should be cleaner. Surprisingly, a mean filter didn't do much to improve quality.

The median is the 'middle value' of the set (i.e. the one in the middle when all values are sorted based on some criteria) wheras the (arithmatic) mean is the average of the set.

Since the median value will match one of the adjacent pixels, there will be no interpolation/blurring, so you'll preserve sharp edges in the data set. This is good if you're upsampling something from a limited palette and want the output to stay in that palette, for example. Of course you can only really do this if you have a reasonable way to sort the set to find the median in the first place (and that can be the tricky part for a median filter) but in your case it would be an easy implementation since the image is already black-and-white.

Volte: Oct 4, 2004; woosh woosh

I am writing my master's thesis in LaTeX and I need to typeset both Haskell and Scala code inline in the document, literate style. Normally Haskell is handled by lhs2tex, but it's extremely old and kind of lovely, and is a bitch to integrate into your main document if you only need a few pages typeset. So I spent two days porting the useful functionality of lhs2tex (which is only a very small part of it, turns out) to Python and integrating it with pygments to make it handle any language rather than just Haskell. It also simply processes text so you can process two paragraphs out of your whole document, rather than producing a full separate TeX document. The desirability of non-monospaced typesetting of code may be controversial but I thought it was an interesting pursuit anyway and I'm pretty happy with the result.

The important feature is the column-based alignment from lhs2tex. It's not as fine-tuned as lhs2tex but I'm just going to tweak it ad-hoc to fit my needs as I write my thesis.
The Scala part mostly works but I haven't written a token spacing algorithm for it yet so everything is all mushed togther (other than the column-based alignment).

I dunno why that object keyword is not highlighted, pygments knows about it---I checked.

A while back I posted about a K interpreter I've been writing. Last night I started tinkering with a project I call iKe:

It's a browser-based IDE for writing games and interactive graphical sketches using K. It's very fun to see how much can be written in a few lines of actual code and some arrays of static data. If there's interest I can show some additional screenshots as I develop more involved examples with the system.

This is cool! Yeah the language is ridiculously expressive. I've been trying to learn K and KDB for a while now. There's some documentation of course but I found most to be quite dense and difficult to follow. Are there any learning resources you could recommend?

# ? Aug 27, 2015 14:29

Internet Janitor: May 17, 2008; "That isn't the appropriate trash receptacle."

mobby_6kl: It is a bit difficult to find good resources. I learned most of what I know about the language by poring over the K2 Reference Manual as I wrote my K interpreter. The Wiki for Kona, the other open-source K interpreter, has links to a ton of articles and other material. No Stinking Loops is another great place to find interesting K programs, although some are presented without much discussion and thus rather cryptic.

For my own part, I have written a brief but reasonably comprehensive manual for oK which describes the verb and adverb behaviors I have reverse-engineered by studying k5. I also wrote a bit about K programming techniques.

iKe is coming along nicely since my last posts. A guy who works for Dyalog wrote an asteroids game, and I have been tinkering with an implementation of breakout:

In the Pixel Art thread I wrote a quick one-off image processing program to experiment with animation effects:

And I also whipped up one way to implement conway's game of Life:

FIrst I define a function which calculates random iterative successors:

Then on each frame I add a new point by taking the floor of 80* 20 iterations of applying i, starting from (1,1):

I imagine it would look pretty much the same- I only floor at the end of my calculations. iKe is designed for working with relatively low resolution bitmaps. 160x160 pixels is all it can draw at for the time being.

Pretty interesting! I often turn to Javascript to tinker or prototype, but this sounds like a good thing to use as well. By the way, I tried round if I did it correctly: _ 0.5 + whatever

I made a nicer looking one than what I had before using low alpha pixels and rendered it during my lunch break:

Now I want to make a huge one overnight and print it 300dpi. My life is exciting.

Wrote a Twitter Bot for parsing the Leper's Colony. It scans it every 5 minutes or so, runs a query using another library I wrote to see if there are new entries and, if so, posts them to Twitter.

I'm trying to think of how to get the reason and actual post in there too. I can't fit the reason into a tweet, unless I post it elsewhere. So I was thinking of just making a screenshot of the post and adding the reason on top of it. Not sure if I can render HTML in a console Web Job, but it's probably worth a shot.

Their ImageGenerator library works... kinda. The forums have pretty hosed up markup, so their generator only gets some of the css properly, so it won't get the full post. I made a makeshift post generator of my own (a weaker version of what I have on my forums app) and it worked better.

However the bigger problem is that it won't work on Azure. The image never finishes processing

. In their FAQ it says it should work, so I'll have to ask them. But thanks for sending me in the right direction

So I hate how paint.net has like no sprite or animation support in it.

So I hated it so much, that I made a thing. It loads .pdn files, and lets you turn on/off layers and specify animation stuff. It also watches the file you open, so you can make a quick tweak in paint.net, and it will automatically reload it and start animating the new changes.

A while back, I was fiddling with image manipulation. These are old, and I've developed better filters, but these are the screenshots I have handy.

Most of these are just two-dimensional plus/minus matrices applied to the image. I don't know what I'm doing, but it's fun.

Yeah, iPad. I'm seeing excessive retain / release of my models while I iterate through them to update the physics. If I were using Obj-C, I'd turn off ARC to solve this. But I'm not sure what to do in Swift land.

Programmer Humor: Nov 27, 2008; Lipstick Apathy

After reading The C++ Programming Language 4th edition and watching a bunch of 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown, I decided to code a couple of cheat programs to check out the new C++11 features.

The words part was pretty easy. Take a dictionary, copy_if every word that can be formed with the given letters (using a map<char,int> to keep track), and sort by length.

code:

$ ./words sterdoaem
...
smarted
sedater
dearest
roseate
torsade
roasted
redates
tsardom
oersted
oedemas
demotes
emerods
emoters
meteors
maestro
8
mastered
moderate
modester
seadrome
streamed
9
moderates

The numbers part was a bit more tricky. I ended up checking every possible combination of operations using a recursive function, taking all possible ways to split up the remaining numbers, getting all the possible sub-expressions using those numbers, and combining them using every operator. Using reverse Polish notation made it easy to express the expression in a simple vector<int>, with a few special values representing arithmetic operators.

The huge list of possibilities was then sorted by accuracy, numbers used and operations used to create the most accurate result, using as few numbers, and as simple operators as possible. A simple print function evaluates the best result again, converting the RPN to a more familiar form.

code:

$ ./numbers 4 10 8 3 25 100 336
...
8 4 10 + * 3 * = 336
8 10 4 + * 3 * = 336
4 8 + 100 + 3 * = 336
3 8 4 10 + * * = 336
8 4 100 + + 3 * = 336
3 8 10 4 + * * = 336
3 10 4 + 8 * * = 336
3 8 4 100 + + * = 336
3 100 8 4 + + * = 336
8 4 + 25 3 + * = 336
8 3 10 4 + * * = 336
8 3 4 10 + * * = 336
8 4 100 + + 3 * = 336
8 100 + 4 + 3 * = 336
8 10 4 + 3 * * = 336
100 8 4 + + 3 * = 336
8 4 10 + 3 * * = 336
4 10 + 8 * 3 * = 336
Best one:
4 + 10 = 14
14 * 8 = 112
112 * 3 = 336
checked 3263127 possible solutions
