Due to Overwhelming Demand From Our Zero Customers, the Hieroglyphics Generator Has Been Improved

Generate genuinely new hieroglyphic inscriptions with GlyphGPT

The people have spoken. Well — not actual people. Nobody emailed, DMed, or sent a carrier pigeon demanding better hieroglyphics. But I could feel the disappointment radiating from our estimated zero active users every time the model spat out malformed gibberish.

So I fixed it.... Or Claude did...

Using autoresearch running on Google Colab GPUs, the model saw a 43% improvement across 89 automated experiments in about 8 hours. The old model? Honestly, most of its output was nonsense. The new one almost always translates to something reasonable:

Our zero customers are thrilled.

The technical challenge: getting autoresearch to run on Colab

This was the real puzzle. Colab's default security settings block Claude's code tool from running properly. And if the GPU session shuts down — which it does, because Colab is temporary — it forgets its own research history.

I fixed this with a Google Drive rsync loop that saves learnings from both good and bad experiments, plus an extra step to commit the good code to GitHub.

One funny moment: I interrupted the research flow to check on progress and Claude seemed genuinely annoyed, then started right back up again without asking for confirmation. Relatable.

The whole thing is open source. So if you want to run your own autoresearch experiments — maybe to start writing in Ugaritic cuneiform, or Wingdings — go for it: github.com/JLansey/EgyptGPT

Here are a couple more good ones that might come in handy:

Instrumenting the Popcalypse: Analytics Insights from Bubblewrapture

The million bubble countdown to the popcalpyse:

While on holiday break I did some "digital crafting" and shipped a massive multiplayer game about  popping every bubble in a giant roll of digital bubblewrap... seriously. After sharing it on new years eve (reddit), people around the world didn't stop until all million bubbles were popped.

https://bubblewrapture.com

People from 78 countries stopped in to pop some bubbles.

Where did the idea come from?

After stumbling upon the million checkboxes website which had gone viral, I was thinking that checkboxes were SO boring. As a mathematician - my way of thinking is to always transform problems into equivalent things; and so it struck me that bubblewrap popping is fundamentally the same as this sheet of checkboxes - even to the point where a popped bubble maps to a checkbox that's become grayed out. Because the creator (Nolen Royalty) has open sourced the project, it felt like the hard part was already done, and it just needed a little face-lift.

I did a quick google and found that existing bubble wrap popping games were deeply unsatisfying. Specifically they both appeared to have no discernible end, like this fractal bubblewrap.

The making of Bubblewrapture

The concept was already underway before choosing a name. Actually first called it 'bubblewrapped' leaning in to the new year finale that spotify does etc. .. but in discussions with Aleeza Howitt "bubblewrapture" won out due to the story behind why we are popping bubbles .. to bring about the popcalypse of course!

Every AI tool imaginable has made it's mark on the site - mostly cursor (Gemini 3 and Claude Opus), a bit of Codex and Claude Code. ChatGPT for the social card and some copy/editing brainstorming, Claude for the svg graphics including the svg bubble rolling animation.

The spinning bubble roll was the hardest to prompt; my first attempts at "think hard about the physical geometry of the roll spinning" failed in amusingly horrible ways (see below). To get it to work I had to spell out the formulas: y position = cos theta, eccentricity of the bubble = sin theta etc. It kept wanting to make the bubbles partially or entirely visible when coming around the back side. The final version isn't perfect still - but it is good enough!

And the final version:

The front-end is deployed on netlify, the backend go server on render and the the data persisted on an upstash redis store.

Data science

We recorded every bubble pop - along with the IP that popped it. After the first 10 thousand or so pops I included a separate log for the roll actions. Recorded with second level precision, but that leaves us with a lot of questions we can ask and answer.

How many people participated?

About 3000 people tuned in and popped at least one bubble. Most people popped only a few, but a few users popped a huge number of bubbles. Of the top poppers: 39 IPs, accounted for 575993 pops while the other: 3075 IPs, has 573132 pops. Note that the total pops: 1149125 was higher than a million because of duplicates in race conditions - and a bug from the checkbox days that made is to a race condition resulted in an un-popped bubble (which happened actually a lot - up to 27 times in one bubble).

How much time did people spend?

Collective minutes people spent: 10,344 minutes, or 172.4 hours. Defined by counting a minute any time that at least one bubble was popped in that minute (so not counting any extra minutes spent searching). Below is a list of the top poppers by time spent, note that folks on mobile were necessarily a lot slower (since clicking and dragging is not possible), but it seems the people who spent the most time were on desktop and popping tens of thousands of bubbles. I tried to separate the mobile from desktop poppers but it wasn't easy because the majority of desktop poppers were actually going slowly too; so although we can be sure the fastest poppers were on desktop - there isn't a clear boundary.

	location	hours_spent	num_pops
0	Lonsdale	6.32	122,082
1	Denver	4.43	64,218
2	San Diego	3.22	53,140
3	Plainview	2.58	13,111
4	Loughborough	2.00	44,629
5	Bayville	1.98	16,510
6	Anderson	1.93	26,852
7	None	1.62	7,514
8	San Francisco	1.60	29,650
9	Toronto	1.52	8,489

Naturally, the time spent distribution follows a power law; y = 323 · x^(-0.72) minutes

And here are the top ten poppers by number of pops, including the shocking winner with over 120K pops! 

	city	num_pops	hours_spent
0	Lonsdale	122,082	6.32
1	Denver	64,218	4.43
2	San Diego	53,140	3.22
3	Loughborough	44,629	2.00
4	San Francisco	29,650	1.60
5	Anderson	26,852	1.93
6	Skövde	21,291	0.95
7	Houston	17,703	1.27
8	Bayville	16,510	1.98
9	Plainview	13,111	2.58

Ranked by number of bubbles popped - also pulls out a power law distribution - but only for the top 1000 poppers

Wondering if the reason for the non-perfect power law here is because it would be two distributions mixed together (the desktop and the mobile people). There were ~80% of people on mobile/tablets and ~20% of people on desktop.

How fast can a popper pop if they pop fast as they can?

VERY fast.

We have some rate limits on there to prevent auto-popping; and it seems from these distributions of pops per minute that people aren't up against that limit. The fastest popper has an average of 17.77 pops per second over a minute! This split here again is the 39 fastest folks who accounted for about half of the total pops.

and for completeness - the total minutes popping was correlated nicely with the total number of bubbles popped.

How much cleanup was needed?

Since we have the timestamp AND location of every pop - we can see the timeline of what happened. Below is a heatmap showing the density of bubble popping that happened from the bottom to the top of the roll over time. Not much happened from when I started sharing on social media - until shortly after reddit post was 11:30-EST when bubbles started getting seriously popped. You can see the trend work its way up to the very end of the roll; actually doing a pretty good job cleaning up behind - until the very end when just 40k or so bubbles were left at the time the roll was finished rolling. The very last bubble was the most exciting - and probably took about ten minutes for something to find it.

We can also look at the time patterns of our top ten users.

And the top ten regions, you can see the majority is the US with the UK pops almost completely owned by the Loughborough person.

And the top ten countries.

Did people pop or roll?

A lot more people popped than rolled. Nobody exclusively rolled.

Number of rolls followed a nice power law as expected.

	city	hours
0	Lonsdale	5.78
1	San Diego	1.55
2	Bayville	0.97
3	Concord	0.92
4	Houston	0.83
5	Poughkeepsie	0.73
6	Denver	0.60
7	Powell	0.43
8	San Francisco	0.40
9	Loughborough	0.37

Our top popper shows up here again as having really done more than enough to help with rolling, but a few other spending close to an hour rolling.

Response

People seemed to enjoy popping digital bubble wrap - just like in real life.

Not everybody was a fan of collaborative mode:

Not everybody was a fan of the ending:

The plan

The idea now - is to run it in reverse on Dec 1st, where you are inflating the bubbles; then the roll is auto-rolling up. Then on Dec 31st again run it forwards and see if we can get to the popcalypse faster. Other ideas are to use the same dynamic but be popping popcorn or cracking eggs and have chicks run away.

An important update about Icarus Theme Park

 

Back in 2021 I proposed we build a hotel on the moon where people can strap wings on and fly around, as well as swim like dolphins jumping out of the water.

This update isn't actually important - just that now I have a fancy graphic for promoting the idea :)

Flight of the Timid Gull

Resurrecting the poetry tag on the blog to share a recent poem. The inspiration was the difference between the seagulls in Turkey (martı), and the ones in Patagonia. In Turkey - they are crazy - swooping like crazy and catching Ottoman bagels in mid-air (Simit).

In Patagonia it was pathetic, this is the specific seagull - it keep circling around looking at, but not even getting close to eat the bread until the tourist got frustrated and tossed it in the water.

Genesis, the Torah / Bible in Hieroglyphics 𓏴𓂝𓇴𓃾𓁶𓉐

It is generally accepted that the Paleo-Hebrew alphabet that the Torah was written in was derived from the ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics via Proto-Sinaic script. The modern sounds for the glyphs often come directly from the word, for example the Hebrew ע (ayin) which means eye is derived from the ancient hieroglyph for eye 𓁹. While the shapes became totally morphed, the order and meaning is unmistakeable. Note that the ancient Egyptians likely had different phonemes for each of glyphs and a different order. But the order of this "Aleph Bet" was passed on through Phoenician to Greek and spawned off most of the written scripts in use today (including this very one: AB[C]D).

We can write the Torah / Bible in hieroglyphics because of this ancient (nearly) 1-1 mapping from Paleo-Hebrew to ancient hieroglyphics, and because some awesome people have labored to expand unicode to include all the needed hieroglyphics!  For example: בראשית becomes 𓏴𓂝𓇴𓃾𓁶𓉐

You can download the complete genesis in hieroglyphics here, and see the first parsha / chapter below.

Note a few things to note:

• The Hebrew came from sefira.org, Tanach with Text Only (Hebrew). text without tags.
• Processing was done in python; can be done for the other books if needed.
• I wasn't fancy enough to get the right-to-left thing working, so the text here has all the characters in backwards order.
• There is some ambiguity in the mapping for example ו (vav/upf עוף) could be 𓅱 or 𓌉. In these cases I tried to choose the cooler looking glyph.

Websters Hieroglyphics Dictionary - new and updated

The Latin script we use in English can be traced back to logograms of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. Given the way that language is moving back to logograms 🤪 I thought it would be wonderful if we brought the original hieroglyphics back into common use 𓀠. Lucky for us, in 2009 about a thousand actual ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics were added to unicode meaning you can easily copy/paste them into your favorite chatting apps. The only thing stopping us is understanding what they mean - and so here I present a brand new and totally modern:

Hieroglyphics Dictionary

These definitions are mere suggestions; the important thing is that you use the symbols and keep the 5000 year old tradition alive! (Websters in this case means a dictionary for people who use the web).

If you want to participate: Here is a living document where you can suggest new phrases and definitions.

Note: just copy/paste to use hieroglyphics, never been easier
