Something cool

I wonder how much compute was wasted on this

So, about a month ago, I built Akshara-Mantapa, a Library of Babel for Kannada. Pretty simple, not too fancy. Was fascinated by the Library of Babel (which I re-read again), and wanted to have some fun replicating it.

There’s some really cool extensions I’d like to do for it, like multi-lingual support, maybe even a wiki page or something. Also been thinking about different word frequency distributions to make the output feel more language-like (blog post on that sometime soon), but that’s for later.

Wrote a bunch of blog posts about it. You can start reading here. Have fun. Ciao.
