Nod. AQ2 was so damn fun!!

Outstanding! I cannot wait for a quake engine book. I'm sure a few hundred of us would be happy to pre-pay so you can take some time off work and write it all up :)

Yep, ShinkaEvolve described here: https://sakana.ai/shinka-evolve/ and available here: https://github.com/SakanaAI/ShinkaEvolve

Agreed, not mentioned. Nevertheless, I see a link to github for the OpenEvolve project [1] that in turn states: > Open-source implementation of AlphaEvolve [1] https://github.com/a…

Great post. My gut reaction is something like: "don't wait around to be picked, get out there and do great stuff" Want to help the world get the most out of claude? Go out there an…

You can brainwash yourself with some wild sh*t if you spend too long in the wrong heads/books. "Go consume this form-factor because it's better" has always bothered me.

My kids read plenty and I am indeed always telling them to "go talk to the LLM". It's more work than reading (I suspect), they have to engage more with the topic - ask good questio…

maybe this time really is different. Low cost, high capability, wide adoption, and the graph of each aspect continues to progress monotonically with each release.

Well done! Immediately interesting.

This tripped me up too until point 3 in the piece: > If you are wondering whether or not something counts as weird nonfiction, consider its weirdness. Modern mockumentaries do not …

Lots of writing to my future self. 1. Trello with columns for the week, month, and quarter, year. 2. Open notebook next to mouse 2a. Left page: daily todo checklist with pen and pa…

Love it! I built a similar alife simulation but as a Quake 2 mod using the monsters as the agents and plants and stuff with neural nets and genetic algorithms. My piece was titled …

I spit my coffee :)
