In response to the many requests I have received for introductory performance-programming materials, I will be posting a serialized course on Substack starting February 1st: computerenhance.com/p/perfor…

Order of the Sinking Star has been out for a week now, so I decided to run some stats on Steam where it's easy. The Witness was our previous game that was very successful when launched 10 years ago. Order has sold 45% more units on Steam in its first week than Witness did. Order is 25% cheaper (Witness was $40, Order is $30 with some bundle discounts, and there's been some inflation), so you would expect more units at the lower price. But regardless, it looks at least as financially successful as the Witness was, maybe a little more eventually, depending on how the tail goes. Thanks everyone for supporting the game, and I'm glad you are enjoying it!

This is cool. We have a CachyOS install here that we've been trying and it's been good so far.

After TEN LONG YEARS, Order of the Sinking Star is out Now! On Switch 2, PS5, and ... it's at the top of Popular New Releases on Steam, already! Thank you everyone for your support during this long, long, long, long, long development!

A big day! It is a beautiful, densely-packed game, made with an amazing, brilliant team. I am honored to have played a small part in this masterpiece. The hard work shows!

Without focusing too much on it being the biggest copyright-laundry scheme ever, and also not speaking as a teacher & how AI harms the learning process by removing obstacles that are vital for deep/healthy learning, the main argument is mostly related to control and technological dependence. A technology can make you more efficient while simultaneously making you less capable of functioning without it. With AI coding, the concern is that if you outsource the planning, debugging, architecture, and implementation often enough, you may gradually stop developing those abilities yourself. Eventually the tool goes from "assistant" to "something I cannot work without." The burning question here is... is the technology increasing your capabilities, or replacing them? Most people were already slop coders and did not care about the underlying understanding of their code before 2025 anyway, but we still need kids that know every inner detail of how technology works to make contributions to real breakthroughs and proper creative innovation in the future.

For those who enjoyed our "Wading through AI" chat with @cmuratori on Math and AI, I recommend the discussion below (I am not involved). Three professors, including a PDE/Navier-Stokes expert, explore many topics we touched, but from a perspective inside academia.
