Dopamine
Framework for prototyping of reinforcement learning algorithms
Dopamine is a research framework for fast prototyping of reinforcement learning algorithms. It aims to fill the need for a small, easily grokked codebase in which users can freely experiment with wild ideas (speculative research). This first version focuses on supporting the state-of-the-art, single-GPU Rainbow agent (Hessel et al., 2018) applied to Atari 2600 game-playing (Bellemare et al., 2013). Specifically, our Rainbow agent implements the three components identified as most important by Hessel et al., n-step Bellman updates, prioritized experience replay, and distributional reinforcement learning. For completeness, we also provide an implementation of DQN (Mnih et al., 2015). For additional details, please see our documentation. We provide a set of Colaboratory notebooks which demonstrate how to use Dopamine. We provide a website which displays the learning curves for all the provided agents, on all the games. -

Hypernomicon
Hypertext-infused philosophy personal database software
Hypernomicon is a personal productivity/database application for researchers that combines structured note-taking, mind-mapping, management of files (e.g., PDFs) and folders, and reference management into an integrated environment that organizes all of the above into semantic networks or hierarchies in terms of debates, positions, arguments, labels, terminology/concepts, and user-defined keywords by means of database relations and automatically generated hyperlinks (hence ‘Hyper’ in the name). Hypernomicon keeps track of all these things in a highly structured, thoroughly indexed and user friendly relational database, automatically generates semantic hyperlinks between all of them, and presents this information in many different forms so that you are constantly informed of ways all of your information is related that you had not realized. -

Acoustic Research Tool (ART)
Acoustic Simulation Library for Frequency and Time Domain Simulations.
ART is a flexible simulation framework for wind instruments. It includes a growing library of modelling elements. So far bore discontinuities, branches, tone holes, cylindrical and conical tubes, Bessel horns and bent tubes are available for frequency domain modelling. In the time domain generic bidirectional propagation elements, scattering elements, fractional delays, convolution with reflection functions and general z-domain networks are available and can be described using MuParserX expressions. Cylindrical and conical ducts can also be defined based on their geometry. Available models and their parameters can be enumerated and combined to form simulators for complex acoustical structures. Parameters can be specified symbolically by expressions containing other parameter values or global variables. Dependencies between parameters are resolved at run time. However, MuParserX expressions are compiled at design time. Zero-delay loops are detected and reported. -

ThingPulse ESP8266 Weather Station
ESP8266 Weather Station library supporting OpenWeatherMap
This code works best with the NodeMCU V2 ESP8266 module and an 0.96" OLED display. To get you up and running in no time we created a kit that contains all the necessary parts. By buying this and other kits from us you are funding the maintenance and development of this library. Make sure you use a version of the Arduino IDE which is supported by the ESP8266 platform. If you are using the PlatformIO environment for building, choose one of the available IDE integration or the Atom-based IDE, install libraries 561, 562, and 563 with "platformio lib install", adapt the WeatherStationDemo.ino file to your needs. The simple class uses the header date and time to set the clock. NTP-based time class written by Fabrice Weinberg. We fixed many bugs and improved performance and changed the API a little bit. Either compare your code to the updated WeatherStationDemo or read through the upgrade guide. -

VXUG-Papers
Research code & papers from members of vx-underground
VXUG-Papers is an archive of security research papers, proof-of-concept code, and technical experiments contributed by members of the vx-underground community. Its contents focus heavily on malware research, operating system internals, persistence, process behavior, propagation, and offensive-security techniques. The repository mixes written papers with source files, demonstrations, and project folders. Topics span Windows, Linux, Android, virtualization, credential research, loaders, and other low-level subjects. It serves as a historical and technical reference rather than a single executable application. Due to the sensitive nature of some material, the collection is intended for legitimate research, education, and controlled analysis environments. -

nanoGPT
The simplest, fastest repository for training/finetuning models
NanoGPT is a minimalistic yet powerful reimplementation of GPT-style transformers created by Andrej Karpathy for educational and research use. It distills the GPT architecture into a few hundred lines of Python code, making it far easier to understand than large, production-scale implementations. The repo is organized with a training pipeline (dataset preprocessing, model definition, optimizer, training loop) and inference script so you can train a small GPT on text datasets like Shakespeare or custom corpora. It emphasizes readability and clarity: the training loop is cleanly written, and the code avoids heavy abstractions, letting students follow the architecture step by step. While simple, it can still train non-trivial models on modern GPUs and generate coherent text. The project has become widely used in tutorials, courses, and experiments for people learning how transformers work under the hood.
