AI Bomber's training canary measured the latest network while deployment retained an earlier champion. A small tactical audit showed why those identities had to be reported separately.
Read articleThe evolved Frogger policy survived every held-out episode and crossed none of them. Its action counts exposed a gap between avoiding failure and learning the task.
Read articlePulse Court's strict smoke path could load policy metadata and then run a scripted controller. Proving the repair required tracing decisions into recorded inputs, not just checking that a model file opened.
Read articleA GitHub Pages deployment served the page text while dropping the JavaScript, CSS, and fonts under _next. The fix was an empty file. The lasting change was the definition of a successful deployment.
Read articleCaching trigram vectors made this site's search cheaper. It did not remove the document scan. A closer look at the implementation changed how I explain both the speedup and the search itself.
Read articleDino Arena separates the simulation from the browser so a missed jump can be investigated. Reproducing the course is the easy part. Inputs, controller state, and observation privileges need a contract too.
Read articleA time-series label used row distance as a substitute for elapsed time. Missing market bars broke that equivalence, and the repair required more than changing one shift operation.
Read articleMMG's daily model beat a directional baseline. Its tax-aware holding proxy still lost 1.53 million gp. The useful decision came from separating the prediction target from the action it was supposed to justify.
