Simon’s Fibonacci function and Fibonacci counter in p5.js
Simon came up with this Fibonacci function while taking a walk downtown: f(0) = 0 f(1) = 1 f(n) = f(n-1)+f(n-2) When we got home, he used the function to … Continue reading Simon’s Fibonacci function and Fibonacci counter in p5.js

What comes before infinity?
Overheard the kids talking to each other (in Russian): Neva: Simon, I do understand what infinity is! But which number comes just before infinity? Simon: Infinity minus x equals infinity!
The Neural Nets are here!
Simon has started building neural networks in Python! For the moment, he has succeeded in making two working neural nets (a Perceptron and a Feed Forward neural net). He used … Continue reading The Neural Nets are here!
Cellular Automata
Simon’s new take on cellular automata: Some results would make fancy knitting patters! In case you wonder, what on earth are cellular automata: A cellular automaton (pl. cellular automata, abbrev. CA) is studied in computer … Continue reading Cellular Automata
Shortest path finder in Processing
Simon created a wonderful project in Processing – a path finder that looks for the shortest path to reach the green cell, avoiding the obstacles. Every time the path finder … Continue reading Shortest path finder in Processing

Simon working on a neural networks paper
Simon was working on a neural networks paper in Jupyter Notebook on Friday evening, but didn’t finish it because the Coding Train live stream started. He says he can no … Continue reading Simon working on a neural networks paper
Simon building a Perceptron in Processing
Simon has already built a Perceptron before, several months ago, while following along with Daniel Sgiffman’s Coding Train channel. This time around, he is writing his own code ad doing … Continue reading Simon building a Perceptron in Processing
Simon’s Live Streams (Speechjs and Supershape Morphing)
Simon’s second Live Stream today (in two parts, see the archived versions below) was a big success! He fixed the bug in his own Speechjs library (for speech recognition and … Continue reading Simon’s Live Streams (Speechjs and Supershape Morphing)
