The full story
While explaining to a friend how Woz got the Apple II to generate colour without any dedicated colour hardware, the maker realised they didn't know exactly how it worked and asked Claude Sonnet. A few minutes later they had an interactive visualiser.
It shows how the trick worked and lets you play with the values to see how the colours were generated.
