Thanks for the advice - and if this weren't a completely bananas project, I'd be doing that instead. However, part 3 is a thinly veiled excuse to play with neural nets and I learned a ton (code is done, post is about 1/3 wri

Yeah, most of my work in this series is ever-better interactions with the game itself via code. If Calculords had a comprehensive API, I'd be able to build a smarter AI than what I currently have instead of working through things like

Title of HN post and actual blog post fixed. Thanks! Good catch, didn't think of that as I was writing it. I'm awaiting the release of Calculords 2 as much as you.

If an intern is 'working' for free, then it's considered educational. They're not allowed to contribute materially to the business. For example, I can have an unpaid intern shadow me and watch what I do all day, but I
