Open-sourced my implementation of AlphaZero and various other MCTS policies to play Tetris. In contrast to other Tetris-agents, this implementation does *not* rely on observation- or action-space simplification. It trains an agent with the same information a human has. github.com/Max-We/alpha...

🥳 50k score achieved, TetrisZero is working! Here's the viewer-site with a replay (actually, the replay became so long that the site is lagging a bit, lol). Full details on the algorithm will follow, once I evaluate it against AlphaZero... max-we.github.io/tetris-zero/

Have you ever wondered if the Deutsche Bahn train you booked is typically on time? Unfortunately, Deutsche Bahn offers no API for historical train delays. That's why I built an app to collect and analyse it! Check it out: github.com/AlexW00/zugs...

Apparently, you can now run Linux in a PDF: linux.doompdf.dev/linux.pdf

🚀 Launching BrainForge - and IDE for your brain! (okay - that sounds exaggerated, it's pretty much just an @obsidian.md clone I built in ~7 days) Everything is local, no database; File > App! github.com/AlexW00/brai...

Day 7 You can now open & edit files

It was one of those bugs...

Day 5 of building an IDE for my brain. Implemented: Drag & Drop for Panels! Things are coming together...

Playing with mouse shimmer effects

Day 2 of building my own Obsidian I think I should stop LOL

Would anyone else be interested in an Anki Handheld? Basically, a dumb device you can use to review flashcards. Sync via Ankiweb, no editing, just 4 buttons for reviews. Low quality mockup:

🀄 Kanji-Vault is now available: An @obsidian.md vault, connecting Japanese Kanji by their components. Check it out: github.com/AlexW00/Kanj...

🇯🇵 I created an @obsidian.md vault, that links together all Kanji & their Radicals. It's great for exploring relations! (used my obsidian-note linker and anki-patcher for this)

My local supermarket introduced Cashierless Checkout a while ago. It's great, and yet I almost never see people using it. Instead, the line at the regular checkout is as long as ever. Why is are people not using it? Are people really that lazy? Or just scared of innovation?

Built a little utility script to source environment variables from 1Password. Goodbye plain text secrets in my .zshrc! github.com/AlexW00/secu...
