That's nuts. Someone has solved the algorithm of fish and this is it. But I thought I recognized his name and workstyle before. This guy is literally a genius.

That's nuts. Someone has solved the algorithm of fish and this is it.
But I thought I recognized his name and workstyle before. This guy is literally a genius. Some other works I've seen before:
https://github.com/LingDong-/rrpl https://github.com/LingDong-/rrpl - a "radical" new way to describe Chinese characters as a composition of parts
http://nonflowers.lingdong.works/ http://nonflowers.lingdong.works/ - procedurally generated flowers in style of classic Chinese watercolor paintings
https://lingdong.works/ https://lingdong.works/
And don't forget more classics on his GitHub profile:
https://github.com/LingDong- https://github.com/LingDong-
including "A programming language for ancient Chinese, and procedurally generated Chinese landscape paintings"
I want to see a gallery show in Beijing.... This guy's work is so fucking good. It's really cool how he puts all the code on GitHub too. Fuck yeah! :P ;) xx
- audiometry 5y agoYeah I recognized him from his Chinese landscape prod gen. I fried my axidraw’s pen lift servo trying to print one of them out. So much stippling. Need to learn JavaScript so I can understand what he’s doing.
- graderjs 5y ago:) Thanks. Cool story. Just perusing your other posts and saw your son wanted to learn linux? Not sure how advanced he is or his inclination but could you go with the OS course from MIT? There's a good PDF book that covers the basics of a linux-style OS to give a good overview. I crammed on it for a system internals interview with FAANG. It was fun! :) The parallel and distrubuted operating systems group operating systems engineering course model operating xv6 https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2018/xv6.html
- sellyme 5y agoSo my current "people who consistently do really cool niche stuff" list contains foone, Neil Cicierega, jan misali, and now this guy. Any other suggestions?
- shrikant 5y agoA favourite around these parts is Fabrice Bellard: https://bellard.org/ https://bellard.org/ Take a look at the JSLinux project -- so effin' cool!
- ethanr2000 5y agoDefinitely Tom7 (suckerpinch on youtube)
- hummusandsushi 5y agoYeah, it just can not be understated what an absolute gem that man is. I almost wish he'd post more often, but I'd always take quality over quantity, and he delivers.
- sellyme 5y agoThat was a mistake on my part, definitely meant to include him! Very familiar with his work and it's all exceptional.
- mrec 5y agoInigo Quilez, the Shadertoy wizard.
- gregsadetsky 5y agoAgreed. Check out his incredible videos! Such as this mind-blowing one... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8--5LwHRhjk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8--5LwHRhjk "Painting a Selfie Girl, with Maths"

- sellyme 5y agoOh cool, I've used his Rush Hour solver before! Small world.
- NelsonMinar 5y agoWhy Beijing? He lives in the US. Agreed his work is excellent. I particularly like that he brings different aesthetics to generative art. Traditional Chinese brushstrokes, these 19th century European themed fish drawings.. It's nice to see something calm and classical.
- graderjs 5y agoRight. Pa, CMU. Is that current though?
