OUR NOTEA black hole renderer Fable 5.5 wrote from scratch in Python: every pixel is a light ray bent by the Schwarzschild metric, with no engine, stock footage or textures, rendered on two CPU cores in about an hour as the camera orbits the disk.
I asked Claude fable 5.5 for the hardest edit it could make. It wrote a black hole renderer from scratch.
Every pixel is a light ray bent by the real equation for a non-rotating black hole. No game engine, no stock footage, no downloaded textures. Python, 2 CPU cores, about an hour.THE PROMPT
