The beginners’ guide to Redcode, v1.21
Core War (or Core Wars) is a programming game where assembly programs try to destroy each other in the memory of a simulated computer. The programs (or warriors) are written in a special language called Redcode, and run by a program called MARS (Memory Array Redcode Simulator).
Lenna 97: A Complete Story of Lenna
Engineers, researchers, and students who are familiar with image processing or compression has most likely used the picture of “Lenna” or “Lena” in their experiments or project assignments, as the Lenna picture is one of the most widely used standard test images. Today, the use of Lenna image has been recognized as one of the most important events in the history of electronic imaging. However, very few people have seen the original picture and know the complete story of Lenna.

As the user, you have the ability to configure many aspects of this evolution, including the size of the population, the probabilities for mutation and crossover, various parameters that govern restrictions on creature bodies… etc. You also have some flexibility in specifying the “fitness” measure that will be applied to your population of creatures.
A toy call-by-push-value language « Mathematics and Computation
The more interesting new animal is levy (written by Matija Pretnar and myself), an implementation of Paul Levy’s call-by-push-value language. If you only know about Haskell’s call-by-name and ML’s call-by-value, I invite you to learn about call-by-push-value.

nude.js | Nudity detection with JavaScript and HTMLCanvas
nude.js is a JavaScript implementation of a nudity scanner based on approaches from research papers. HTMLCanvas makes it possible to analyse image data and afterwards decide whether it should be displayed or not. The detection algorithm runs at the client, therefore it’s possible (with user interaction) to display the image even if it’s identified as nude (false positive)

Russell’s Paradox (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy/Spring 1998 Edition)
Some sets, such as the set of teacups, are not members of themselves. Other sets, such as the set of all non-teacups, are members of themselves. Call the set of all sets which are not members of themselves S. If S is a member of itself, then by definition it must not be a member of itself. Similarly, if S is not a member of itself, then by definition it must be a member of itself. Discovered by Bertrand Russell in 1901, the paradox prompted much work in logic, set theory and the philosophy and foundations of mathematics during the early part of this century.

An open-source filter software that can detect rampant stupidity in written English. This will be accomplished with weighted Bayesian or similar analysis and some rules-based processing, similar to spam detection engines. The primary challenge inherent in our task is that stupidity is not a binary distinction, but rather a matter of degree. To this end, we’re collecting a ranked corpus of stupid text, gleaned from user comments on public websites and ranked on a five-point scale
