I'm not sure there is much more relations to actual chemistry than what I put in the "Prerequisites" section. You can also look the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction, which is (at a very basic level) a real world instance of a re

Emergence is mesmerizing in the literal sense. For me, I think the fascination takes its roots in how all biology - from the apparition of life to how brain works - happens thanks to emerging behaviors. Anyway, thanks for the share, it make

You're right, how did I miss this ?! Thanks for picking this up

Another commenter shared https://github.com/GollyGang/ready which may be what you have in mind. I clearly see the fun in building such a thing from scratch though, and I intend to make a simple web-based one. Let me kn

I tried making fluid dynamics in a similar way right after making this, but I gave up as well. As far as I remember, I got stuck on managing non-miscible fluids (such as air and water) which introduces some edge cases where they meet.

I just took a look at your Shadertoy profile and I liked it a lot I want to try my hand at writing such a general case continuous cellular automata engine, but I first need to dive into the literature around Lenia, and this is only one of t

The section you're referring to is meant to first give the update rule for the general-case of a reaction that is not autocatalytic. I'm not sure what made you think it should have 4C, but if you want to explain me the reasoning t

Hey! I'm the author of this article and just noticed the huge traffic spike. This was my first time writing a shader. I was just playing around on shadertoy when I realized I could implement this chemical model that has fascinated me f

Hey there ! I'm the author of the article. Thank you for sharing it here ! If anyone has questions, I'll be happy to answer them

What i meant when mentioning input devices is that the Pi would have it's own cursor, and I would have needed to handle the forwarding of inputs from the laptop's X server to the Pi's. This would have been a lot more difficul

Lol, if the OS sees it as a screen recorder, it must be much closer to what I made than I initially thought !

I'd love to get your feedback (in Github discussions or issues, depending on your results), especially regarding the installation scripts. I somewhat tested them but did not take the time to start fresh and check if they actually take

Hey ! I hope you didn't forget my blog already, because I added the RSS feed as you suggested. You can find it at https://pierre-couy.dev/feed.xml

Yeah, someone else mentioned this on reddit. When taking the time to think about it, I as surprised as you are that it worked. I'll update the post when I have more time to take care of all the things people suggested

I don't think that would allow me to seamlessly move workspaces and windows between monitors. From the top of my head, your suggestion would imply the Pi running it's own desktop environments and having its own input devices

This is done by configuring the X server on the host computer. The method I used only works with Intel integrate graphics using Linux though.

Stop, you're making me blush! On a more serious note, this is one of the main points that drove me to start such a blog. I've been the one learning from other people's posts for a long time. Now that I've reached a point

That would be one nice way make the whole thing cleaner on top of turning it into a deb package. For now, it's really hacky but has proved to fulfill my needs. I may or may not take the time to polish this up in the future. In the mean

For me, the main issue was the proprietary software I needed to run un the host computer. I also read somewhere it doesn't play well with Linux. To be honest, I didn't even consider it before rolling my own solution because it was

Looks really interesting. I'll make sure to check your notes and plog posts out.

Thank you for actually making me laugh out loud ! :) Makind this indeed felt like hammering on a screw at times.

Yes I am, and I clearly remember the D3.js project. It has been almost 10 years, crazy how time flies! It's nice meeting you again on HN :)

The hard part for me was getting the latency low enough that I can comfortably type and move the mouse. But I may look into is as a 4th screen for logs would be interesting

Somehow I did not come across this when researching existing solutions. Looks interesting though, I'll look into it

Yeah I noticed that. The "Lol" was not even in any of the original comments. Very odd indeed

You should be able to adapt the writeup to a macOS host, but I have no idea how you configure a virtual display on it

Thanks for being so kind. It indeed takes a lot of time and energy, but it is incredibly rewarding when you finally share it with the world and people find value in it (far more than I expected)
