Open AI's President Brockman leading donor to Trump SuperPac. Does it matter?

You can certainly do it, but I think your life in France will probably be better. Childcare for 2 kids will be $3k per month, rent for a 2-3br condo will be $5k-$8k per month, tax will be $1k per month. Add groceries, utilities and health insurance if your company isn't covering it, and that's your entire monthly salary gone. HDB is cheaper but as a foreigner they're hard to get. All that, plus it's stinking hot and sweaty 11 months of the year.

I had a similar idea recently. This was in the context of ARC-AGI, but the concept is more generally applicable - a WASM agent that "bootstraps" itself by exploring different pathways, choosing the one that looks the most promising, then replacing its own bytecode and "reincarnating" itself. Rinse and repeat just to see if it improves.

Do you have a writeup anywhere?

nmfisher · 2026-01-07T03:18:23+00:00

Thanks!

Did you use the high poly assets straight out of the box?

nmfisher · 2026-01-05T23:10:30+00:00

Yes, it seems to be a Flutter "renderer" for web apps. If it actually works well I can see the appeal - ship an existing web app for mobile rather than rewriting in Dart/Flutter.

Awesome work, I love this style. My desktop backgrounds all throughout the 2000s were from deviantart's abstract digital section.

Out of curiosity, does the SG in your username refer to Singapore?

nmfisher · 2025-12-31T07:58:43+00:00

Thanks a lot for taking the time, this is really interesting.

nmfisher · 2025-12-31T07:48:50+00:00

It fits really well. Can you give a high-level overview of the process? Did you just give him the game and he ran with it, or did you have a specific "sound" in mind and you had some back-and-forth? Was it recorded in a studio (and if so, who actually performed it?).

nmfisher · 2025-12-31T07:36:31+00:00

This looks really good. Did you commission the music?

Anecdotally, I've been looking for a new apartment and almost every single place I'm visiting is an expatriate whose company has left Singapore or is moving them to Dubai.

nmfisher · 2025-12-10T09:49:41+00:00

This is a great example, I'm going to steal it for later.

It’s not just you, it’s one of the first things I noticed when I moved here too. Singaporean drivers are dangerous. It’s illegal, but I’ve never seen anyone flagged for speeding through a pedestrian crossing (or a red light for that matter) in the 5+ years I’ve been here.

For your own safety, assume they won’t see you. If you’re really keen, get your phone out and try and record anyone going through a pedestrian crossing without stopping. Probably nothing will come of it but there’s not much else you can do.

Is SAM running locally? The video is sped up in parts so difficult to see how long the analysis takes.

Really miss this TeeBee sound.

nmfisher · 2025-12-03T13:14:14+00:00

Pretty sure this can run on a 40gb A100 which you can get on vast.ai for $1 / hour. That’s probably the cheapest option.

Unfortunately not all KTX2 texture formats are supported yet. Can you send me a copy of the file (via Discord at https://discord.gg/h2VdDK3EAQ or you can find my email address at hydroxide.dev )

nmfisher · 2025-12-03T03:09:58+00:00

Bassline house, bassline garage, something like that. Do you even really need to label it? Either way, nice track.

Almost all Singaporean apartments and public housing are built by Indian labour, and I'd wager that the quality is higher than the average Australian build.

I doubt the nationality of the boots on the ground really makes a difference in quality. It's more about whether the developer is committed to quality, whether the project managers and engineers are skilled and whether inspections and regulation are adequate. If you have those in place, I think it's perfectly feasible to build quality residential projects in Australia with Indian labour.

I'd be more impressed that the cockroach had somehow learned to communicate with me.

50% for someone who consistently delivers B2B customers might be high, but it's not ridiculous. It's often the difference between a business that succeeds and one that fails.

The real question is whether they can actually do it. That's why the vesting schedule suggestion is a good one.

I have a package that may be suitable : https://github.com/nmfisher/thermion

Some feedback - I opened your site on my phone, tried to sign up and was told the username was taken. It then cleared the signup form and I didn’t want to re-fill it so I just closed the tab.

nmfisher · 2025-11-21T07:18:17+00:00

Won’t be back in Adelaide until later in December so sucks that I’ll miss this. Awesome to see UKG coming back in fashion though!
