Karl Stiefvater is a graphics programmer who&#x27;s been involved in, among other things, Riven (Myst&#x27;s sequel) and The Matrix. He&#x27;s been playing with the neural algorithm of artistic style on his blog recently (e.g. [0]). In 2015 he also started a YouTube series, &quot;The Joy of Programming&quot;[1], although as far as I can tell only two episodes have been released.<p>[0]: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.qarl.com&#x2F;qLab&#x2F;?p=144" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.qarl.com&#x2F;qLab&#x2F;?p=144</a><p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=pRL9J6DoCgs" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=pRL9J6DoCgs</a>
