Board games for Christmas! Any games on your list to play during the holiday season?

We're heading to the family home, here's *cough* a few games *cough* we're bringing.

Thanks goes to @giogix2.bsky.social for contributing an implementation of the game.

A new mRNA Bio Foundation Model designed by Helical-ai: Helix-mRNA-v0 (www.helical-ai.com/blog/helix-m...).
A light-weight model (5M parameters) pretrained on a diverse set of 26M mRNA sequences and a total training size of 312B tokens achieving SOTA performance.

I've always dreamed of building a self-evolving virtual entity that mimics the mechanisms of #evolution. There are several projects doing this, but here's one I really like: www.youtube.com/@TheBibitesD.... I've spent hours watching these videos, and it'll be available as a #game on #steam too!
The Bibites: Digital Life
The Bibites is an Ongoing project to create digital lifeforms. This means genetics, evolution, and natural selection! Feel free to stick around if that kind of stuff is as interesting to you as it is ...

I enjoy playing board games and I'm passionate about Machine Learning. github.com/google-deepm... from #deepmind combines the two worlds. I really enjoy working on this repo that @sharky6000.bsky.social created. I also built a visualization tool using #pygame on top because I like video games too 🙂.
Check out Pygame_spiel by @giogix2.bsky.social !

This is a Pygame-based library to play games from the OpenSpiel suite against AI agents. 🤩😍

I just finished reading "How to Decide: Simple Tools for Making Better Choices" by @annieduke.com. There are a lot of parallels with reinforcement learning if you're into that, but it's definitely an easier read than the book by R. Sutton and A. Barto 😂. Great book—highly recommended!

Do you like, write, or maintain open-source code or models for machine learning or science? Check out this cool starter pack, by @yoshitomo-cs.bsky.social !
Here is a list of ML OSS & Open Source / Science enthusiasts I found on Bluesky 🦋

Let me know if you find such people here!

I'm still new here and probably the list misses many must-add people, so let's built it together💪

Ok, I guess my 2nd post will also be about #Cambridge. Clare bridge and King’s College bridge (sorry for the scaffolding).

In #cambridge (UK) you find these little “libraries” around the city. @grrm.bsky.social as soon as “The Winds of Winter” is done I’m going to add a copy in this one.
