After having many years of experience running successful tabletop role-playing games with and without relying on prewritten scenarios, I was able to craft a successful formula to generate original, fun and engaging scenarios for the kind of rules-light games with an emphasis on actual role-play that…| Guillaume Fortin-Debigaré
The following are the rules of the Liar's Deck card game, first introduced in the Liar's Bar video game, based on its in-game tutorials, observations I made from gameplay sessions, and comments from the game's developers. Note that I have made the following presentational changes from Liar's Bar…| Guillaume Fortin-Debigaré
That's not what the law says. And if it does, that's not what the constitution says. And if it does, that wasn't the intent of their authors. And if it was, the case has no merit due to a technicality. And if there isn't, I will delay my decision. And if I can't... It's not my responsibility.| Guillaume Fortin-Debigaré
The hype for generative AI is real. It is now possible for anybody to dynamically generate various types of media that are good enough to be mistaken as real, at least at first glance, either for free or at a low cost. In addition, the seemingly-creative solutions they come up with, and the…| Guillaume Fortin-Debigaré
Storing data. Transmitting data. Processing data. These fundamental topics of computer science are often overlooked nowadays thanks to the historical exponential growth of processing power, storage availability and bandwidth capabilities, along with a myriad of existing solutions to tackle them. So…| Guillaume Fortin-Debigaré
The following is a compilation of pretty much every single mathematical topic that I learned throughout my life, covering topics from all levels of education, along with external links for each of them for quick reference. I have compiled this list after extracting all of the relevant information…| Guillaume Fortin-Debigaré
Roaming throughout the countryside, dangerous desperados are awaiting in their hideout for the perfect opportunity to rob their victims in silence. Powerless, the authorities have posted wanted posters on public boards with cash bounties for any information that could lead to their arrest or death…| Guillaume Fortin-Debigaré
While there is no denying that Scrum revolutionized the software industry for the better, it may seem a little strange to read about someone that dislikes it despite strongly agreeing with the Agile Manifesto, considering the creator of Scrum was one of its signers. However, after having experienced…| Guillaume Fortin-Debigaré
As I am continuing my personal journey into deep learning research and development, I wanted to try out PyTorch, a machine learning framework with GPU acceleration primarily designed for the Python programming language. However, I couldn't find any good introductory resource online for it. So I read…| Guillaume Fortin-Debigaré
"Everything must be done now. Let's re-use existing proven solutions and build over them so we don't waste time." And thus, people will look at the top 2 or 3 most popular solutions they already know about or can easily find on the Internet, compare them, pick the best one, and maybe add or change…| Guillaume Fortin-Debigaré
Detective fiction, and particularly whodunits, have been really good at being engaging people in attempting to solving the mystery presented before the final reveal. Video games allows such stories to thrive with a level of interactivity that can directly engage the player in this process as an…| Guillaume Fortin-Debigaré
You can now watch yours truly explain the basics of quantum programming and how to execute a custom quantum program on the IBM Q Experience in less than 10 minutes! The following video summarizes my very first blog post Quantum Programming 101 in a dynamic format, and appends to it a real-time…| Guillaume Fortin-Debigaré
Are you in a loving relationship? Personally, let's just say that my social interactions with women in general have been rather limited, which may or may not be related to having geeky interests, working in an industry dominated by males, not drinking, and avoiding places with loud music because I…| Guillaume Fortin-Debigaré
A few months ago, I started to study deep learning, a branch in computer science heavily inspired by biology that allows programs to learn arbitrary concepts without explicit programming. How good is deep learning? Well, good enough to play Go with super-human performance, a significant milestone in…| Guillaume Fortin-Debigaré
