Introducing MorphoHDL, a minimal language prototype for growing boolean circuits! Early this year I wanted to design a size-agnostic graph rewrite rule system that could build functional boolean circuits. First I thought about "chemistry"-like reactive systems, but rules were too complicated with many different node types carrying multiple indices......

𝐈 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧. Something that once felt far away, almost unrealistic at some point. This is not just a win, but a reminder of what consistent effort can actually turn into. few years ago I didn’t have a clear direction. I just knew I wanted more. More than where I was, more than what I was seeing, more than what felt possible at the time. So I started trying things. Failing quietly, learning, starting again. No big announcements, no validation, just me showing up every day and figuring it out as I went. At first my only goal was simple. Just get better, earn something, prove to myself that I could actually make this work. And I did. But like most people, there were moments where it started to feel like that was enough, like I could slow down a bit. That mindset is dangerous. Because the moment you tell yourself this is okay, you stop pushing. And when you stop pushing, you stop growing. I had to change that. I shifted my focus. I stopped just trying to get by and started building something real. I leaned into Web3, started putting myself out there, connecting with people and creating opportunities instead of waiting for them. And that changed everything. It made me realize something. A lot of people don’t lack motivation. They’ve just outgrown their reason. When your goals are too small, your effort becomes small. When your vision expands, your actions follow. Right now I’m not where I want to be yet, but I’m far from where I started and that gap means everything to me. So I’m raising the standard again. Bigger goals, more visibility, building things that actually matter and not getting comfortable too early. If you’ve been part of my journey in any way, I appreciate you. If your direction feels small, it’s probably time to expand it. The bigger the life you want, the bigger the standard you need. Web3 did this, God did this, see you at the top 💙🦅

Before the open edition tomorrow I wanted to share more on how this new collection came to be. Last year we've all experienced a major shift in the algorithm. Our reach was severely impacted and art posts seemed to be gone in favor of junk/rage posts. Around June last year while sketching in my notebook I doodled a Mickey-esque character with its head squashed by an old monitor. I came up with a rough result in after effects and dismissed it quickly as a nice experiment and nothing more. A couple of months went by and I reopened the files. Added some sounds and once again, in my head it was just a little detour before I make a new piece. Showed it to my wife and she loved it. But still I wasn't sure what to do with it. It looks different next to my other pieces. Thought it's cool but moved on. End of the year was very hard on me, I won't elaborate too much here but If you've been following me you know I had a personal loss. For a while I couldn't even think of creating anything new. Then I reopened the files for this one, and slowly worked my way into refining it. And while doing so I started liking this style more and more. Figured an accessible new collection would work perfectly for this. Getting my art in more hands is the priority here. Seeing your replies that you can finally get an edition of mine really warms my heart and makes this whole thing worthwhile. Hope you'll take this journey with me to see this collection grow over time as I make more and more editions with a fresh take in the Vintage Distortions series. Thanks for reading all my mumblings. Oh, and FUCK THE ALGO! 🖤

🐰 more than thinking that people misunderstood me, i just wondered, “why do people hate on each other that much? why go to the trouble of making up lies just to hate?” that’s what i thought, so i thought that sharing my thoughts right away back then could be an action seen as pouring oil on fire. so i thought that i should talk about when the right time came. when i went for the biodance event, the fans came and i had a fansign. while doing the fansign, a fan came and asked me, “doyoungie kept telling us to dream a lot during the yours concert. what is your dream, doyoungie?” but for me really, there were people who took it as a joke, but i really hope that everyone can get along well, peacefully. that they can listen to each other’s reasons, and try to understand each other’s circumstances. i hope that everyone can get along well with that kind of relationship. i really hope that /everyone/ can be like that. and i hope that the company, me, and czennies can get along well like that too! that’s why i said that (during the fansign). anyway, you may have complaints about the company, like for a plan or something like that. you may also have complaints about me, we could be unsatisfied with each other over various things. but i think it would be good if you could think, “there must be some reason/circumstances for this.” so rather than asking you to not hate, i just hope that all of you can get along well without any discomfort. that’s just my dream, and i don’t have any intention of forcing it upon anyone.

Seokjin, you can come to us any way u like 🥺 🐹So yesterday, I really wanted to post something right at midnight, but I was not sure how to put it into words. So I just wrote something with a heart full of gratitude. I did. But then, the way I feel is that I always end up writing something that just conveys my gratitude to you all, and ah… I actually wish I could talk to you in a lighter and more casual way, but I feel like I haven’t really been able to, and I find that a bit disappointing/sad. It feels like I always come across too serious (than I meant to be). I want to be lighter and more easygoing with you, not approaching you in a heavy, formal way, but rather in a friendly and casual way. But these days, even when I try something lighthearted, there have been various things going on and with the group activities and everything and so….. So it feels like the sense of closeness has become a bit distant. I’ll try harder to connect with you in a warmer and more approachable way.

A little throwback story tonight 🌙.. in 2008 I was to give one of my first keynote speeches in NYC but the sound system broke ( they were smaller events back then 😂). But I didn’t want to let everyone down so I told everyone to go outside and I gave the speech on the side of the street in nyc 🏙️ .. then I did Q&A and this came up … too many of you are looking for “the moment” the “tipping point” people thought I had “made it” in 2008 … 16 years ago … and yet I didn’t think I had even started .. I don’t feel I’ve started as I type this .. to me my personal and professional journey is a forever game and I’m not looking for a breakthrough moment or the stats to show me the way .. I’m focused on building .. brick 🧱by brick 🧱 … day by day I build VaynerMedia and VeeFriends and everything else I am associated with .. and that’s how it will always be ❤️ share this with a kid who has a dream 💭

900,000 followers on Facebook… WOW! This family of ours has gotten BIG, and I still can not quite believe it. I am so grateful for this journey and for every single one of you who has chosen to be here with us. Thank you for every follow, every like, every comment, but even more than that, thank you for every smile and every “hi” I get on the roads of Ala Igbo and beyond. It genuinely blows my mind that simply sharing our family life can connect with so many people. With everything happening in the world, with so much war, division, and racism, I hope that sharing our ordinary life as people from different backgrounds simply living, loving, and raising a family together could be a small reminder that we have more in common as humans than what divides us. I am simply grateful that so many of you choose to be part of this journey with us. And of course, a special thanks you to the one that has been with me from the beginning of this journey Ezenwa Isuofia

[wip] growing organisms using hypergraph rewriting I'm exploring generating organisms using string forces and I was wondering about which class of algorithms could be used to generalize the growth of such structures. I wanted a system which can produce a wide variety of outputs, while allowing for stable and controlled growth. That's when I thought about Stephen Wolfram (yes again) Physics Project, which proposes to explore a solution to the fundamental theory of physics using a hypergraph rewriting system ( TLDR; Growth of graphs using simple permutation rules. It's similar to cellular automata but for graphs. Could be what I'm looking for. I started to experiment with this system to grow my organisms, and it's definitely a promising approach! Below is a video of the following rules applied to an initial {{0,0},{0,0}} graph: rand() {{x,y},{x,w},{y,w},{z,w}} : {{x,y},{x,z}}->{{x,w},{y,w},{z,w}} There's a lot of areas to improve this exploration, notably: - localization of rules (instead of applying a same rule to the whole system, let each node have its own rules) - spawn control rules (when a new node is created, a rule can define which rules will be applied to such node) - mutation rules (rules which alter rules of adjacent nodes) - conditional rules (many rules can be attached to a node, the one being executed subject to localized conditions) Super exciting, will certainly be the basis of my next project.

🐥: Anyhow, because there were also some types of performances that I thought you guys, ARMY, might have been waiting for, and wanting to see for quite a while... I think I was worrying about that part more. 🐥: But this time, I really, really wanted to try something new, with cool performances as well... I came here with the thought that even if there are some parts that I felt a bit disappointed about, it would be a cool performance anyway... 🐥: so I'm very curious and worried about what you guys, ARMY who were the audience, felt about it. I hope you enjoyed it, and that's how I feel.

#SEONGHWA about making memories in Europe 🥹 ⭐️: The UK is much nicer than I thought. My memories of this country were usually just from coming here on tour but the more I come, the more my memories seem to get nicer. Same with Paris, same with the UK and well, Spain too. Probably it’s like that for all countries, really. Anyway, maybe it’s because I’m getting familiar with them. I’m turning each one into a good memory. Ease? Maybe I’ve gained some ease too. When I first went to Paris I wasn’t feeling well physically so I couldn’t go see things. But as time passed, like, on the last night (this time) I saw the Eiffel Tower and even though I’ve seen it many times, I realized it feels different every time I come. During this Paris schedule, the time I saw the Eiffel Tower was my favorite I think. It was the most romantic. Strangely, “I really want to go see the Eiffel Tower.” This thought came to me. Strangely. I felt like I had to go see it. Of course, taking photos there can be risky but I just really wanted to take photos at the Eiffel Tower. So after meeting Mingi and Jongho, I rushed there, saw it, and at exactly midnight it sparkles like this, you know? I saw that too. And this time in London too, I watched a really fun musical and at a big festival, as a headliner, I performed in a cool way. I like it. I really like it. #SEONGHWA #성화

G-Dragon opens up about the 2023 drug controversy: “I didn’t want to hold a press conference and ramble on about my position, it was painful, and when I thought of it as just a process, the fact that I had to endure it felt suffocating, I started wondering if making a comeback was really the right thing to do, maybe I should rest more or even retire and just live as a regular person, but honestly I didn’t think there was any real reason to do that, I thought I should just be grateful that it all passed, but I kept thinking if it really passed or if I just forced my way out of it, that thought stayed with me for a few months, the only thing I could really turn to was music, around that time I had already started preparing for the album, and as I wrote based on everything I’d experienced, I ended up choosing POWER as the first track, it felt like a song that said I’ve found my owner.”

q. it’s an obvious question but when you came back to be in the band, it’s an interesting thing because you’re the youngest and they’ll always think of you as the youngest but you’re also a solo hitmaker. how did that affect the way that you approach things for the new album and maybe the way the other members approach things with you? 🐰: i’m just a very carefree and open person and I don’t think too much during my day-to-day unless I really have to. so when it comes to work process or choosing songs, I’ll express myself, sure, I’ll speak up and share my opinion, but I don’t stress about it. rather… well I don’t know about the others, I guess some of the members were pretty stressed but I just thought it was fun! I enjoyed it. I did what I wanted to do

“Because I think a lot of people are familiar with you know, pop stars have these alter egos on stage and then they're also a little bit potentially different behind the scenes. Can you talk about what the difference is between those two personas?” ROSÉ: I think, you know, like I started off as, my whole career started as Blackpink and I feel like it was so much fun creating this character on stage because I'm just from like Australia, like in my bedroom, but like it was so much fun creating this like pop star, like character. It was so much fun. And then I think creating my first solo album, it was my discover of like, you know, who am I? And like when I was naming the album, I really thought a lot about it. There was like options like, you know, number one girl. And then a lot of people did like, what about Rosie? And at first I was like, it seems a bit like narcissistic. I'm not sure. And then it slowly grew on me. And then, you know, just the idea of it being Rosie because Rosé has been such a big part of my life. And that's what we present ourselves as Blackpink, Blackpink Rosé. And I felt like this was very opposite. And so I noticed that it was closer to kind of introducing a different version of me, like because it combined all the stories I would talk about with my friends and family. And they call me Rosie at home. And of course, the online name that the company had made for me from at the beginning of Blackpink, I remember when it happened was like the day before they released my picture, profile picture, they were like, Rosé. And like the name got announced.

Lady Gaga reflects on her 2016 album, Joanne, and how it’s different from MAYHEM: “I think that was a hard time for some of my fans, because it felt so different from the “me” that they knew. But it felt so needed for me. It was like I just wanted to strip everything away. I just wanted to understand and get much closer to who I was before it all. It’s so interesting because it’s the most stripped-away that people feel that they’ve ever seen me, but I know how far away from me I was. On this record, I’m much more confident and sure of who I am. I also didn’t feel the need to completely reinvent every part of who I am, because I’ve started to become proud of who I am and feeling like I can own my personal approach to pop music, my style, my vision, that these are things that I made that belong to me, and that I don’t have to put so much pressure on myself to be somebody else, to be great.”

Can you talk about what the difference is between those two personas?” ROSÉ: “I think, you know, like I started off as, my whole career started as Blackpink and I feel like it was so much fun creating this character on stage because I'm just from like Australia, like in my bedroom, but like it was so much fun creating this like pop star, like character. It was so much fun. And then I think creating my first solo album, it was my discover of like, you know, who am I? And like when I was naming the album, I really thought a lot about it. There was like options like, you know, number one girl. And then a lot of people did like, what about Rosie? And at first I was like, it seems a bit like narcissistic. ..I'm not sure. And then it slowly grew on me. And then, you know, just the idea of it being Rosie because Rosé has been such a big part of my life. And that's what we present ourselves as Blackpink, Blackpink Rosé. And I felt like this was very opposite. And so I noticed that it was closer to kind of introducing a different version of me, like because it combined all the stories I would talk about with my friends and family. And they call me Rosie at home. And of course, the online name that the company had made for me from at the beginning of Blackpink, I remember when it happened was like the day before they released my picture, profile picture, they were like, Rosé. And like the name got announced.”

Yves via Billboard France on Instagram Reels “Back when I first started as a solo artist, I had a lot of meetings with different companies, and there were also certain perceptions from the public. I heard a lot of things like, “It’s hard to succeed as a soloist”, or “You only did well because you were in a group”. Hearing that so often really affected my self-esteem, and I think I had a strong desire to prove myself to those people. But now, I try to see those perspectives as a form of interest and accept them with gratitude. By taking in different kinds of feedback, I feel like my mindset has shifted to enjoying the process itself. I think I’m able to work with less stress and more happiness now. These days, the K-pop industry is changing very quickly, and so are the systems within entertainment companies. When I was promoting with LOONA, it felt like our role was mainly to carry out concepts that the company had already decided for us. But now, it feels like artists are much more involved and have an environment where they can actively participate and create something more creatively. When I first finished working on the song ‘NAIL’, I had already recorded the full version myself. It sounded good, but I kept thinking that if I collaborated with another artist and created synergy, the song could become even richer. The company agreed with that idea, so we started thinking about who would be a good fit to collaborate with. Around that time, we actually received a collaboration e-mail from Lolo Zouaï first. I listened to the demo she sent, and there were so many unexpected melodies that we hadn’t even imagined. In the end, we scrapped our original second verse and fully incorporated Lolo Zouaï’s demo into the track, creating the song together. Through that process, seeing how she came up with melodies we hadn’t thought of made me realize, ‘Oh, you can approach top lines like this’, and ‘You can play with rhythm in this way too’. I was able to learn a lot, and I’m really grateful for that experience”
