One-shotting a Raccoon Heist game using Claude Fable 5

Back in 2024 I tweeted screenshots of a game concept generated by GPT-3 and some concept "art" created using DALL-E. Today, on the fourth anniversary of that tweet, I decided to see if Claude Fable 5 (running in Claude Code for web) could build the entire game from the conte...

The code that didn’t break

Last week I wrote a post on hiding cryptographic keys in decks of cards. I wrote some code for that post that shouldn’t work, but before fixing I noticed that it in fact did work. The code computes logarithms for integers larger than the largest representable float. For example, the largest float is on the […]

Proxmox officially supports Arm, with some caveats

Proxmox today announced their Proxmox Virtual Environment is now available for 64-bit ARM.

I tested it on my Ampere Altra Dev Platform—the same machine on which I've booted Windows on Arm the first time, messed with multiple GPUs, and most recently tested Houdini's native arm64 support.

Proxmox VE running on Ampere Altra Max workstation

Install was easy, as the Ampere Altra uses UEFI / ACPI for its hardware, meaning Proxmox didn't have to tailor it's ISO to specific platforms, like you have to do with Raspberry Pis and most SBCs using a Device Tree setup.

Enumerating trees and circles

A few days ago I wrote a post on counting rooted trees. That post looked at the sequence c(n) which counts the number of rooted trees with n nodes. Here one node is distinguished as the root, but the nodes below the root are not distinguished from each other; all that matters is how the […]
