Today I implemented simple-jax-nn, a simple neural net for the MNIST dataset, written with JAX. I managed to get it to use my MacBook’s GPU/Accelerator through the Metal support in jax-metal

This week, whilst troubleshooting video encoding discrepancies for a film, I was reminded of the immense wizard power of debugging: the art of systematically bisecting your way to the root cause of a problem, then devising the cleanest fix. | 1\n

I recently released 🎶 Music Melee 🎶, a high-speed parkour FPS for making beautiful music and high scores in your browser.
I'm pretty happy with how it turned out for a few day's work. I focused on making it feel, sound, and look deeply satisfying.

Aside from the interesting new friends, S-tier programmer memes, and new work opportunities, why would someone want to spend 6–12 weeks at the @recursecenter.bsky.social ?
Because it’s one of the most potent environments for growing both your taste and agency as a programmer!

I whipped up `richify`
It brings the capabilities of Rich and the power of Astral's uv to streaming output. So using LLMs in your terminal feels and looks better than any GUI now.

What does it mean to have agency? To be an agent?
In Reinforcement Learning, an agent is formulated mathematically — some set of actions it can take, some goal, some way of understanding how actions interact with the environment to achieve the goal.
