AlgoMIDI: A Musical Studio Powered by Cellular Automata and Graph Traversal

AlgoMIDI is a virtual music studio built as a spiritual successor to Cellular Minimata. Instead of just visualizing cellular automata, each 'living' cell triggers a musical note. Using Vue 3, Vite, TypeScript, Web Audio API (via Tone.js), p5.js, and Cytoscape.js, AlgoMIDI lets you create music using Conway's Game of Life, graph traversal algorithms (BFS/DFS), and custom rules. Features include adjustable playback speed (60-240 BPM), a virtual piano displaying generated notes, and various layout options for visual representation. It's a unique approach to music composition.

Pornhub Title Evolution: From 'Hot Blonde' to 'Incest'

Pornhub Title Evolution: From 'Hot Blonde' to 'Incest'

This paper uses language embeddings to analyze the evolution of Pornhub homepage titles from 2008 to 2023. The study finds a shift from simple descriptions like "hot blonde" to content with more violent and incestuous themes. This change is linked to Pornhub's professionalization, commercialization, and changes in relevant laws and regulations. Using yearly centroid calculations and t-SNE visualization, the researchers reveal three distinct periods in title content and analyze keyword trends, such as the declining market share of terms like "Latina" and the significant increase in terms like "incest" and "rape." The research raises questions about the commercialization of the pornography industry and the direction of its content.

Running GUI Apps Directly in Containers: No Extra Software Needed

This tutorial demonstrates how to run GUI applications directly within containers (like Docker and Podman) without installing extra software. By cleverly mapping the host's Wayland and PipeWire socket files and setting appropriate environment variables, GUI apps inside the container gain access to the host's display and audio. The tutorial provides detailed instructions on building Docker images for GUI applications, including complete launch scripts and Dockerfiles. This is handy for running untrusted apps, testing software, and running applications incompatible with your distribution.

Minecraft LCE Decompilation Project Launched: Reviving a Classic

An ambitious project has begun to decompile Minecraft Legacy Console Edition (LCE) for the Nintendo Switch. The Switch version was chosen due to its inclusion of function symbols and the use of the easily-matched Clang compiler. Challenges include a lack of complete symbol information and the need to reconcile code across different platforms. The team is overcoming these by leveraging symbol information from the Wii U version and type information from the Switch version. The project aims to provide a foundation for game research and modification, and to offer insights into similar decompilation efforts.

Playing Pokémon FireRed with GPT-4: An AI Adventure

This project details an attempt to get GPT-4 to autonomously play Pokémon FireRed using RetroArch. The author implemented methods for reading game memory, using OCR for text recognition, and creating a game memory database to allow the AI to explore, battle, and interact with NPCs. However, programmatic input control proved a major hurdle; RetroArch's UDP input system was unreliable, and keyboard-based input required window focus, limiting automation. Despite this, the project showcases the potential of AI in gaming and provides valuable insights into future LLM applications in this field.
