Twitter is the “hype machine”. It’s basically the advertising arm disguised as a social media company. At SpaceX’s valuation, even a 1-2% increase in share price due to some astrot…

We're also shareholders in all other publicly traded stocks (assuming you're referring to pension schemes etc), which means competition in the AI model market is better than a few …

The main reason for adding a daily puzzle (or really the seeded RNG) is that part of the game loop is retrying the same seed to find the best lines for that map. Since all pieces a…

Admittedly some of the auxiliary features were made with Claude's help, but I'd argue that's not what makes this interesting. The game (core loop, sprites, etc) were all made by ha…

There is some polish with Claude over the past few weeks, but we wrote the engine over 10 years ago actually. Each piece moves using a modified version of A* to simply find the sho…

But wallets aren't associated with a real person by default, unless it's created through some service that does KYC. If you can get anonymous tokens in an anonymous wallet, who car…
