Author of "wake up" here. Yes, that one reactivated me again. We thought (as size coding community) that we found every cellular automaton trick years ago, but then Plex came around and showed us otherwise ♥

I'm really impressed. Those are the things that made me love programming and computing. It's all so beautiful, it's TRULY art. It's a shame that in the industry we don't usually have the opportunities to make something like that, with AIs and all that...

If this was made in Electron it would probably be a 300MB download and around 1GB of RAM.

Definitely thought this was a 16b parameter llm, not a 16 byte demo.

There are only 2^128 of such demos. How much of those are valid DOS programs? If we narrow it down to ones that generate both video and sound, I guess there are much less, which should motivate more people to try and find one :)

2^128 is still a huuuuuge space.

I swear watching this kind of projects occasionally is the only thing keeping me from dropping tech and going to work as a mailman or something.

Makes me wonder how many bytes the shortest possible Mandelbrot implementation would need.

Author of "wakeup" here. You would would need between 32 and 64 bytes. I have something that almost looks like one in 32 but it's not published yet ;)

At the same event I released "Broccolori", a 32 Byte fractal for old-school PCs.
I did NOT expect this 16 bytes demo to also have sound! What an outstanding piece of art.

16 bytes equals immediate “black magic” and “it’s a witch”. I get it in the abstract - generative art and CAs and fractals have infinite depth. But this is madness. I love it so much

That other demo didn't even have sound.
This is hell of a good work. A masterpiece to retire after. (or more realistically, chase it on other architectures)

Related to the Dragon Fractal, with a twist:)
