I enjoy probabilistic inference and modeling, gamedev and building robots. Currently working in the industry. Used to work on TensorFlow Probability.
I also maintain the Allegro game library.

Repercussion 3
This game was made for a 3 day gamejam (TINS) (+ some post jam fixes). I made all the graphics, music and code (no AI this time!). I did a lot of coding, but sadly, the game isn't that good! There's always a next time, I suppose!

I switched to a more rule-based system for random map generation (RIP Gibbs). Here, the level "shape" is: start → long hallway down → fork, fork → long hallway left, fork → short hallway right → exit. The hallways can still meander, but the coarse layout is learnable by the player.

Development is slow and manual, but also... that's what makes it worth it... the alternative is literal plagiarism, and all to generate something empty and souless...
Why would I as a developer want to skip the process of developing? yes there are parts that I hate, but every hobby is like that.

I don't want to use codegen for my games any more than I want to use textgen/imagegen/audiogen. But, many tool builders have no such reservations; is it okay for me to use those tools? It's basically ethics laundering.
I should stick to developing for DOS using time appropriate tools.

I feel like I broke up with someone after I declined the AIStats reviewer invitation. I don't feel like it's right for me to review papers if I don't write them myself these days. Sucks.

In ML land if you find your model not doing well on a task, you just increase the size of the model and the amount of training data. What's the equivalent move in Bayesian Inference? Is misspecification a self-imposed limitation driven by the computational expense of our inference methods?

Trying to learn how to draw faces. I feel like I have a decent understanding of how solid mechanical shapes work, so I'm trying starting with a polygonal blockout. Not sure I'm sold on the idea though.

When we talk about the costs that LLMs impose on society we should not forget the fact that nothing works anymore because everyone is so scared of getting their shit scraped.
I can't even use google scholar from my university or starlink because they send too much traffic.

Working on speeding up bitmap drawing in Allegro game library. The old (legacy) code was either skipping vertex buffers or nuking them every draw call (drivers are somehow okay with this...), the new code is a lot more careful. This is only a start, but promising so far!

Need for Speed 2 is a fun game.
Personally, I always preferred the non-SE version since its cheat codes were slightly better.

Quick sketch. Quelaag, but instead of a spider, it's a giant stoat. The lore is that this witch was paraplegic, and hated not being to move her legs, so she lobotomized a giant stoat and grafted herself onto its head. The ethereal swords are inspired by Henry's broadsword from No More Heroes.

I am against vibe coding, but I needed a quick test for my local AI (Qwen 3.8 27B on AMD AI PRO R9700). Here's a (nearly) one-shot Lunar Lander, using the Allegro 5 game library. Took 3 hours, 400 Watts. A charming attempt at a game, all things considered.

My "limited edition" DT 770 PRO plastic brackets broke; evidently, limited referred to the lifespan of the parts. The rest of the headphones is metal, and this part fails often, so I could get measurements for a 3D printed replacement (glow in the dark PLA). I think it will be stronger.

After a lot of effort, I finally got an RL trained locomotion policy working in the real robot. It's noticeably smoother than my manually constructed gait. A simple one line bug stymied me for the longest time, but is now fixed!

The Rust coreutils rewrite is an embarrassment to the Rust community and programmers in general. In their blind hatred of the GNU ideals, they stripped user freedoms while introducing bugs. Permissive licenses are tools of corporate oppression. All my Rust software is (L)GPL.
