## [My Score Said None for Three Weeks and I Believed a Number I Made Up](https://alanscottencinas.com/pokemon-tcg-ai-rating/)

_2026-08-21 · Alan Scott Encinas · Alan Scott Encinas_

For three weeks I thought my agent was rated around 709. It was 784.9. The number had been unavailable the entire time and my own code had quietly replaced it with a guess I stopped questioning.

## [My Pokemon TCG Agent Won 95% of Its Games and I Learned Nothing](https://alanscottencinas.com/pokemon-tcg-ai-agent/)

_2026-08-19 · Alan Scott Encinas · Alan Scott Encinas_

I built a clean general search agent and it beat every opponent I had. Then I pointed it at a 400-line hand-written bot and lost three games in four. The opponents I had been measuring against were the problem.

## [I Entered the Pokemon Trading Card AI Battle Challenge](https://alanscottencinas.com/pokemon-tcg-ai-battle-challenge/)

_2026-08-17 · Alan Scott Encinas · Alan Scott Encinas_

The Pokemon Company put the Trading Card Game up as an AI problem, and I entered. Here is what the competition actually is, why this game is harder for a machine than chess, and what you are going to see over the next few weeks.

## [The AI Reset](https://alanscottencinas.com/ai-as-a-crutch/)

_2026-08-15 · Alan Scott Encinas · Alan Scott Encinas_

Anthropic started watermarking Claude's text and people reacted like someone had announced the end of AI. I think they are asking the wrong question. The better one is what we became while AI was becoming normal.

## [Four Months, and the Thing That Would Have Fixed It Took an Afternoon](https://alanscottencinas.com/kaggle-competition-post-mortem/)

_2026-08-14 · Alan Scott Encinas · Alan Scott Encinas_

This is where the final score lands, and what it says about four months of work. I finished four tenths of a foot from a medal, and everything I built in the second half was worth less than that gap.

_2026-08-12 · Alan Scott Encinas · Alan Scott Encinas_

A consultant sold us a six page strategy report that was generated, not written. The interesting question was never why he failed. It was why the company was so confident about what it was buying and so unclear about what it already had.

## [I Was Right About the Risk and My Hedge Was Useless Anyway](https://alanscottencinas.com/kaggle-final-submission-selection/)

_2026-08-12 · Alan Scott Encinas · Alan Scott Encinas_

Six weeks before the deadline I worked out exactly how my models would fail, and built a hedge against it. The hedge was drawn from the same family as the thing it was hedging. Here is the question I should have asked instead.

## [My Metric Was Valid. It Just Stopped Putting Things In Order.](https://alanscottencinas.com/kaggle-leaderboard-shakeup/)

_2026-08-10 · Alan Scott Encinas · Alan Scott Encinas_

For two months I optimized a score that had stopped ranking my models. It was still a valid measure of quality. It had just gone blind at the resolution I was working at, and three lines of code would have told me.

_2026-08-07 · Alan Scott Encinas · Alan Scott Encinas_

The competition closed and I pulled my final rank. The number was internally consistent, completely plausible, and wrong by nine hundred places. Here is the two-word API difference that caused it and how a competitor's blog post caught it.

_2026-08-06 · Alan Scott Encinas · Alan Scott Encinas_

Building on the Moon means making what you need from the dust already underfoot. A permanent settlement cannot import every beam and panel from Earth, and the materials to do it may be designed by AI before anyone builds them.

## [Three Times I Measured Nothing](https://alanscottencinas.com/three-times-i-measured-nothing/)

_2026-08-05 · Alan Scott Encinas · Alan Scott Encinas_

I pointed a 22-agent review at my own competition endgame expecting notes about the code. It came back with three errors in my reasoning instead, and all three were experiments that could only ever confirm what I already believed.

## [Your AI Sounds Certain. Look at Where It Learned That.](https://alanscottencinas.com/ai-training-data/)

_2026-08-04 · Alan Scott Encinas · Alan Scott Encinas_

These systems learn from the open internet, and the open internet is getting worse on purpose. The quality of what goes in is falling while public trust in what comes out keeps climbing. Nobody is watching that gap.

_2026-08-02 · Alan Scott Encinas · Alan Scott Encinas_

Someone used our business information to make a fraudulent transaction look legitimate. No malware, no stolen passwords, no alert. They studied how the process worked and walked through the front door of trust.

## [Everyone Knows It Scores Half. Nobody Checks Which Half.](https://alanscottencinas.com/which-half-the-leaderboard-scores/)

_2026-08-01 · Alan Scott Encinas · Alan Scott Encinas_

The public leaderboard scores half the test set and says so on the page. I measured which half. It was not a random sample, it was the first 1,974,995 rows in time order, and that one fact invalidated six weeks of tuning.

_2026-07-31 · GAINSHIN · AI 素養與隱私體驗_

序言：當公共接送或軟體系統用「安全規格」或「不相容錯誤」單方面拒絕服務時，真正的風險往往藏在規格表背面。若量測方法不公開、沒有重判前通知與過渡安排、也查不到申訴程序，這張看似中立的規格表就會成為免責擋箭牌— 斷裂的成本則落到已在替系統補位的人身上。

_2026-04-02 · Abhijith C. · abhijith0505_

I cannot pinpoint exactly when this started. At some point over the last two years, coffee stopped being background noise and became something I was actively paying attention to. I went from “just give me something with caffeine” to having a fairly specific answer to the question — what do I actually want to drink, and when? This is my attempt to document that. What I Drink and When There’s a…

_2025-11-24 · Abhijith C. · abhijith0505_

I was talking to a friend the other night — someone who spent five years in the tech industry before deciding to move into academia. We started out chatting about random things, but at some point, the conversation drifted toward work, purpose, and what it means to spend your life in front of a screen. He said something that stuck with me: “Dunno, feels kinda odd to be thinking of going back and…

Tickets to my next automation workshop are on sale! It s a familiar tale: you ve set up an expensive and time-consuming playtest, and just wanted to squeeze in one more feature. You cook the build, give it a quick sanity check, and send it off. The playtest starts well, but as players start to hit level \[ \]

_2025-08-21 · afray · Andrew Fray_

So this graph is pretty famous, especially in quality circles. It s meant to convey that fixing things earlier is better by orders of magnitude. It s a pretty stark visual of something we feel is intrinsically true. Only problem is, it s bullshit. This specific visual is from The Journal Of Information Systems Technology And Planning \[ \]

I ve been exploring automated testing more in Unreal recently, and one thing that won t surprise Unreal users is there s a million different ways to do it, each with their pros and cons, and half of them are undocumented. I thought I could do a useful overview of the different automated testing tools at your disposal \[ \]

Introduction If you’re considering the Online Master of Science in Computer Science (OMSCS) from Georgia Tech, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most well-known and affordable online master’s programs in CS, and since finishing my Machine Learning specialization, I’ve had a ton of people reach out with questions about admissions, coursework, workload, career impact, and whether it’s actually worth…
