12yo son is doing dedicated research on gaming PC parts and binge-watches videos on how to build (he's not a native English speaker and has no real electronics skills, so this is quite impressive tbh). Me the dad, however, fears that I'm witnessing a FPS addict being born.

What's a good Middle Way here? Kid actually building the machine all by himself -- 100% yes, even if it's quite expensive; kid then Counter Striking, Call of Dutying etc for hours on dat 27" screen -- ugh!

What complicates things is that I myself am more of a "computational minimalist" using 15 year old machines in a cli-only environment etc. I've tried to show him That Path also ("dude, here's some Turbo Pascal for ya!"), but, well, obviously he's preferring those addictively engineered and GPU-hungry multiplayer games with his friends any day.

He's a good kid all in all, actively engaged in competitive rowing, with good grades etc. Plays chess also (but all the other folks are FPSing or Minecrafting, so there's that).

Being a gamer (and using ridiculously overpowered hardware) may well be just a stage of a teen's life, possibly even necessary to go through in order to understand that you don't really "need" all of this in you adult life. I do feel, however, that the fear of growing a computer gaming vegetable out of one's Good Kid is a little more than just overprotective dad syndrome these days. (I'm afraid the gaming industry mostly wins. And, with real-world war going on in Ukraine, I fooking can't stand watching him actually using those ultra-realistic knives or pump action guns for, well, killing "terrorists" as a recreational activity...)

Those of you facing (or having faced) a similar situation, what have you done? Thanks!

Pretzel is an experiment in live AI agents for music. It's a web synchronized music sequencer that is controlled by an AI agent. Everyone chats with the same AI agent and hears the same music at any time. I'm no audio engineer so it's a pretty basic tune, and turns out audio is a pretty complex 3d function.

I went to Google's IO hackathon yesterday without any idea of what I was going to work on. I thought of building a live DJ agent that people can tell what they feel and it would update the music live. This is like 50% of the way that vision.

I've been building a Rust agent harness called [Talon](https://github.com/impalasys/talon) that is easy to self host on a micro VM (~100mb RAM). Pretzel connects everyone to the same session in a Talon hosted DJ agent.

I'm curious what y'all think.
