This will probably be my last run (2:49): https://youtu.be/zIyZJjyPy8U Kudos on a great game! If you ever expand or open source this, let me know. The mechanics and design are grea…

Each box is a torch module[1], which can technically encapsulate any amount of computation or contain sub-modules. The smallest boxes or leaf nodes are those that contain no sub-mo…

I wonder how people’s learning habits will change with AI tools like GitHub Copilot. I used it for several months but randomly got logged out and am now finding myself valuing the …
