Sharing some experience on developing games with the help of Claude from the perspective of a hobbyist game dev.

I'm moving the opposite direction: Altair -> Plotly. I find altair to be too "grammar of graphics" for its own good. And the vega backend makes it hard to hack around. Saving to pdf or high-quality also takes extra steps with additional dependencies.

They say "art deco is for dwarves while art nouveau is for elves." Forgot where it came from.

Highly recommend playing Pentiment. Good mystery adventure set in the backdrop of medieval Bavaria. Large part of the story happens in a monastery (and the surrounding town).

I also see a use-case for reading long fiction books. Recently, I've been reading Stormlight Archives (Book 3) on and off and there are times when I want to remember why character X did Y or what that epigraph means, etc.

I'm looking at the Fediverse explorer and I'm curious how to interpret the embeddings (or the distances between points). What does it mean when two instances are near each other (e.g., sigmoid.social and mastodon-belgium.be)? Is it related to the number of follows?

> The gap between tree-based models and deep learning becomes narrower as the dataset size increases (here: 10k -> 50k).

I am curious if there is a sample threshold where it's worth exploring deep learning approaches to tabular data. I wonder if there are other considerations (e.g., inference speed, explainability, etc.).

Same. How do you use pylint for unit testing? I only use it in my IDE.

Yes :) The Lamy 2000's been with me after grad. Even had a pen craftsman resharpen my nib!

Hi runjake, author here!

Not sure what you meant by the Twitter feed? Doing this since 2017 and it's still fun so far! Hope that helps :)

My daily driver (Lamy 2000) has a piston converter and I find its capacity quite large, i.e., I need to refill it every week or so.

Cartridges are great too, but I seem stuck with a few options. Lany cartridges are great but it's the only decent one I can find here.

Hi there, author here! Been using pen and paper (for knowledge work) since 2017. Hope that helps
