I've been having this weird dream (nightmare?) where I'm driving a car, and it's out-of-control. I hit walls and things on the streets (no one is there) because I can't control it. Somehow, I don't die. I eventually wake up feeling anxious and distressed...

Gosh I love music. Gosh I loved playing the Demo of Dead as Disco. Loved? Dude, I am still playing it. It's relaxing. Beating the shit out of enemies while FRITANDO in the most awesome songs. (Yes, the DEMO songs are already so good, but you can also use yours.) WHY DON'T YOU DANCE WITH ME?

Did another stuff. Game of Life but transitions play notes from pentatonic scale of two instruments. Z to pause/unpause the simulation. X when paused to clear the board. Use mouse to click on cells when paused to change the cell's state. non4to.itch.io/game-of-sounds #pico8 #gameoflife

My student Théo de Pinho (University of Lille) made this video showing the dynamics of a multi-agent simulation showing the evolution of speciation. youtu.be/GJsBIk-9iyE?...

How/Why did giraffes evolve to have a big neck like they have? My simplistic mind only thinks about eating from high places. I've been thinking about unique animals. #evolution #NaturalSelection #EvolutionaryBiology

Have been completely off this year... Lots of mistakes due to things that I didn't see, thought of and then looked pretty obvious. Forgetting stuff too... ugh... 🥲

This week I asked my friends if they had a "pirate vybes" game to recommend me. Little I knew that what I needed was En Garde! Not only I get to be a parry god, but I also felt like inside one of Jackie Chan's movies using any stuff in the environment to help me during the fights!

SCRIDDLE #14 (23⨯ - 19:45) scriddle.net Gotta love when you have no idea it worked out and then get to experience a facepalm when you read why it worked! HAHAHA! Loved this! @pyrofoux.bsky.social rocks :)

Today is the first time my bike was stolen in Japan, so I had to walk to the lab. The culprit, a huge spider, decided that my bike was its home. F

I initially thought the joke was funny (maybe because I don't even drink coffee...) but he makes such a good point

I started reading "Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned: The Myth of the Objective" (Kenneth O. O. Stanley and Joel Lehman) for research purposes. Didn't expect to find the message in the first few pages liberating in a personal level.

Come work with me!

Two days of headache. Taking the medicine helps, but the heat doesn't. Meh.

AGI and Super Intelligence were achieved in 1980.

I have been sleeping bad for a while... this summer hasn't helped at all. 😞😥
