For some super arcane deep cuts, I've ported JT Nimoy's "Textension" vector font (1999) and Douglas Hofstadter's "Letter Spirit" gridfonts (c.1987-1996) to p5.js, now available in my archive of p5-single-line-font-resources: github.com/golanlevin/p...

genuinely everyone should read this 💕

It is now clear to everyone that the federal government wields immense power over both public and private universities. Past administrations could have used the same leverage to lower tuition and curtail student debt. By doing nothing, they only fueled the populist backlash against academia.

... and (as a longtime event organizer myself) I can affirm that Jer is the most compelling presenter about data storytelling and visualization I've ever seen.

Hi friends - do you have any examples of artists creating their own image datasets from scratch, specifically in order to train ML / AI models? For example, in order to produce her "Leaves of Manifold" series, Helena Sarin scanned 1000 leaves from her backyard to train a GAN.

It took me a while but I finally finished to recode the 300 programs of Jean-Paul Delahaye’s book "Nouveaux dessins géométriques et artistiques" with p5js. The book was published in 1985 and features classic generative algorithms. github.com/v3ga/nouveau...
