bkil vs. programming

Generating music, a novel or program source code character by character, simulating a photo sphere by interpolating between still photos, single frame superresolution: http://fastml.com/deep-nets-generating-stuff/ Illustrating what happens inside the mind of deep networks by depicting what it is dreaming about. Nice art. https://karpathy.github.io/2015/05/21/rnn-effectiveness/

[ unwords [ "I wish", who, what ] | who <- [ "you", "your loved ones" ] , what <- [ "Happy Holidays", "a Happy & prosperous new year" ] ] Here's a drawing I've made from a tiny photo. I needed to retouch almost every part of the original after quantization. I also did great effort to make it tile. I have first tried experimenting with gimp-resythesizer to no luck, so I had to do it by hand. I've cut&pasted the top 100 rows and the leftmost 100 columns to the other side of the image to a temporary black stripe, have made the modifications and put it back afterwards. As the last phase, I have also vectorized it using potrace. Sadly, Blogger does not allow uploads in any vector format at all.
