Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

🐇✨ Oh, look! #Rust is saving the day with a near-perfect score on a completely obscure test suite! 🎉 Meanwhile, #JavaScript rebels by refusing to show up, leaving x.com in a state of 🤷‍♂️ confusion, all while asking you to disable everything that makes the internet bearable. 🔧🚫

I just love #TurnBased #games so much more than anything else. Especially today, where everything feels fast, loud and overwhelming, I need games that actually give me time to #think.

With #RealTime you react, with #TurnBased you #plan. That is a huge difference. I sit there, analyse the #situation, think three moves ahead, and when my #strategy pays off, it feels genuinely rewarding.

On top of that: #TurnBasedGames are almost always more #complex and #deep. #XCOM, #BattleTech, #TacticsOgre, these games demand real #thinking. No muscle memory, no reflexes, just pure #strategy.

In a world full of #notifications, #stress and constant #overstimulation, this is almost like #meditation for me.

My #pace, my #decisions, my #game.

Anyone interested in a GOG-code for #XCOM Enemy Unknown + Enemy Within?

The relaunch of the XCOM series combines base building with simplified but challenging turn-based combat in an aliens-invade-earth-scenario. I really liked it.
