‘The push against datacenters speaks to the frustration of people who don’t feel they are making the choices in their lives’ The Stanford ethicist Rob Reich was once invited to a dinner organized by a Silicon Valley mogul to discuss what a state designed to maximize science and tech powered by commercial models might look like. The gathered technologists were drawn to the idea of building a small nation-state dedicated to the endeavor, Reich recalls in “ System Error : Where Big Tech Went Wrong and How We Can Reboot it”. When Reich asked whether this state would be a democracy, he g…

I originally started experimenting with reconstructing real world objects from images with GPT-6 Astra and Blender. One of those experiments was this chair: https://simulationcorner.net/chair/chair-evolution.gif That made me wonder what would happen if I tried the same idea with old computer game graphics instead. Maniac Mansion seemed like a perfect test case. The DOS EGA version consists of a set of very recognizable rooms, shown from fixed viewpoints. So I started feeding the original screens into Astra and asking it to turn them into 3D scenes. This eventually grew into a reconstruction o…

Hi guys, A few months ago, I've been training several simple models as a side hobby. I tried training N models at once on a single GPU, but OOM spikes kept crashing my runs. So I built my own simple way to manage this kind of training. At the time, I also wanted to make some sort of interface that AI agents could use to dynamically allocate GPU resources and train models on their own. It's been quite fun working on this, so I wanted to share it in case any of you are looking for something similar. Claude helped me write most of the code, but I've made sure that the stuff works as described (I…

Hi all, I wanted to share a recent library I made for myself since I continually have to work with large-scale point data spanning millions of rows. I generally found existing IDW tools are insanely slow and unreliable with the datasets I commonly work with. ppgrid is an open source GIS tool and it is intended to create beautiful visualisations that don't take an absurd amount of time to process. It uses a modified Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) approach: instead of having to traverse every single point for every single grid O(N*M), it precalculates which points intersect which grids. This…

The App has two modes - Tamil (for native Tamil language readers) and Tanglish (for those who understand Tamil, but cant read the script). The Game is inspired by similar puzzle games out there, but highly customized for Tamil pop culture. Would love to hear feedback and comments!
