I trained an AI to navigate through asteroids in Godot 4.6 using reinforcement learning

⋅

Hey! Been working on this in the past two months. The AI (Rookie) learns to fly through asteroid fields using PPO, no scripted movement, just raw thrust/rotation inputs and a reward system. Everything built in Godot 4.6, models in Blender. I’ve experimented with RL in Godot before, but this is the first time I actually got it to work well enough to be worth showing. The reward shaping process was so fun and interesting that it inspired me […]

Anthropic-Pentagon AI feud escalates

Anthropic-Pentagon AI feud escalates

⋅

Read Online | Sign Up | Advertise Good morning, {{ first_name | AI enthusiasts }}. The Pentagon may soon label Anthropic a “supply chain risk” in response to the company’s limits on how the military uses its AI. The feud, which only appears to be escalating, highlights a deeper tension now shaping the AI era: who controls how frontier models are deployed in military operations — the labs that build them, or the governments that use them? In […]

2025 AI News Wrapped: How AI Went Mainstream in Engineering

⋅

2025 is the year AI stopped feeling like a “tool you try” and started being treated as something engineering teams have to operate. In January, most engineering teams experienced AI through copilots and chat assistants. They were useful, sometimes impressive, but still easy to keep at arm’s length: a tab in your IDE, a prompt window on the side, a helper that sped up the parts of the job you already understood. By December, the center of gravity […]

From LLM to Agent: How Memory + Planning Turn a Chatbot Into a Doer

⋅

The Day Your LLM Stops Talking and Starts Doing There’s a moment in every LLM project where you realize the “chat” part is the easy bit. The hard part is everything that happens between the user request and the final output: gathering missing facts, choosing which tools to call (and in what order), handling failures, remembering prior decisions, and not spiraling into confident nonsense when the world refuses to match the model’s assumptions. That’s the moment you’re no […]

Evaluating Federated Learning for Cross-Country Mood Inference from Smartphone Sensing Data

⋅

Mood instability is a key behavioral indicator of mental health, yet traditional assessments rely on infrequent and retrospective reports that fail to capture its continuous nature. Smartphone-based mobile sensing enables passive, in-the-wild mood inference from everyday behaviors; however, deploying such systems at scale remains challenging due to privacy constraints, uneven sensing availability, and substantial variability in behavioral patterns. In this work, we study mood inference using smartphone sensing data in a cross-country federated learning setting, where each country […]

How I Built a Hot-Swappable Backend Proxy for Claude Code

⋅

Claude Code is my daily driver for coding. It’s an agentic CLI tool from Anthropic that reads your codebase, edits files, runs commands — and it’s genuinely good at it. But it has one limitation that kept bothering me: it only talks to one API backend at a time. That’s fine until Anthropic is rate-limited. Or down. Or you want to try a cheaper provider for routine tasks. Or you want teammates on a different backend than your […]

Prompts Are Overrated: I Built a Zero-Copy Fog AI Node Without Python (And It Hurt)

⋅

Why I ditched the standard Python stack to run Qwen3-VL on an OrangePi 4 — and the hardware-specific “horror stories” that nearly broke me. Let’s be real: the AI world is currently high on “clever prompts.” Everyone is a “Prompt Engineer” until they have to build a safety system for a warehouse robot or a real-time monitor for a smart city. In the high-stakes world of Industry 4.0, a prompt is just a string. To actually do something, […]
