Safari is the new IE

Consumer solar has been a game changer, so doing the same for wind would be a huge innovation. But the reasons everyone doesn't already have wind generators on their roof is it's a…

There are two sides to this with companies automating hiring with AI as well, so the whole interface between employers and job seekers seems to be getting an ever thicker layer of …

Appreciate the feedback, thanks for checking it out. To be clear, LLMs were not used to design this game, just to edit my post talking about creating the board generator. And I do …

Thanks for the feedback. The premise of the game is you solve each individual word in order, so greyed out cells are places that aren't the next letter for any of the words right n…

EDIT: I used an LLM as an editor, and clearly that stank. So I just touched up my original draft and updated the page.

Yeah that's fair. I might dust off my draft and re-edit myself, I foolishly thought this would lead to a better post, and I guess am not as attuned to the AI smell as others.

Seems like others feel the same. I guess getting an LLM to help with editing was a bad choice. Thanks for the feedback.

Well it certainly was a wall. That's how I kept describing it to my partner, I was hitting a wall.

Sorry about the turn off ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I tried to put my best foot forward by reading about prose, engaging story telling, and did use an LLM to help me edit and reword parts of the po…

Yeah no criticism of the devs here, it's a great project. I meant to point at Apple. Though I'm a customer and like many of their products. I do hate their rigid clearly profit dri…

Information theory has been a really fascinating topic to get more acquainted with. Not really related to the crossword, but I highly recommend 3Blue1Brown's video "Compression is …

Yeah I understand. But there are plenty of good headphones that work with Android and include most of the features. That's kind of the point of Librepods right? To bring AirPods up…

If I wasn't certain Apple will do their best to patch every avenue to this working in the future it might be motivation to buy AirPods.

Fair enough. I appreciate the feedback regardless. Thanks for sharing.

FWIW I was aiming for this to be a "connections" level of difficulty. My sample size is small but the past week win rate is about 65%, which is actually very close to connections. …

Really great idea. And not going to ding it for kicking off with an LLM. But it might be worth thinking about how you could build a community of human contributors in a future stag…

Thank you! Glad you liked it.

My family plays a lot of word games, some are board-game style and of course we all love the NY-Times catalog of puzzles. The idea for this game came to me when I played bananagram…

Motplot and has the vibe of Sudoku if you played it with words instead of numbers. I made it so I would stop losing at bananagrams to my 99 year old grandma, but she beats me at th…

The idea was fresh in my mind because I watched this yesterday. Great video, the illustrations and intuition-building of the compressability of information was so good! I'm so grat…

Reminds me of when I tried to use the library of babel as a data compression tool. It led me down a fun rabbit hole and was my first introduction to information theory. The conclus…
