Thanks for the feedback! And there's now one-square-only fences you can turn on in the settings.

Thanks for the feedback! I would have responded earlier, but I wanted to actually implement something you suggested: different walls. Alternative wall sprites, which don't occlude …

Just added this, check out "Optimal as overlay" in the settings.

So far, I haven't had the heart to deceive people with red cherrings. All levels with cherries use at least some of them in the solution.

I tried to match what Wordle does, so it should come out midnight in your local timezone.

All the daily levels are built by hand. I struggled to come up with a good random level generator. You can see my feeble attempts in the Edit page (via the hamburger menu) by givin…

Just vanilla canvas + Typescript.

This is now implemented on daily levels! Click the link below your score after submission.

This article does such a bad job of criticizing an already-unpopular theory that I found myself defending it. "The evidence is clear," "studies have repeatedly shown," and "analysi…

Alas, it still fails at my favorite music theory question. I've yet to see a chatbot get this right, even though it isn't a trick question at all. I ask: "Consider a tenor ukulele …

But Epstein did in fact kill himself.

I am incredibly skeptical of the hypothesis that this might be a murder. Asking a few key questions makes it clear how dubious it is: Most importantly, who's gun was it? If it was …

Key part of the article: though this measure was passed by the council, the mayor promised to veto it.

Disappointing to see the various crow garbage vending machines not pan out. I wonder of it's actually impossible or if it's just been poorly executed.

Reminds me of Omphalos by Ted Chiang.

Weird that it doesn't even name the porn site in question. Overall this seems like pearl clutching. It's just pixels and text. Perhaps the easily horrified should avoid trying to r…

Move fast and break things sounds the opposite of Orwellian.

I feel like this is exaggerating a bit. Spam exists, but the internet is still very usable. It could certainly become worse in the future, but I find it pretty easy to sift through…

This list is so ridiculous, it's not even worth responding point-by-point.

This was quite disappointing. It would be interesting to see what are actually the loudest cities (via measuring sound at various spots), but this doesn't do that. It doesn't even …

Maybe the rescuers should try texting.

You asked.

I feel like people are drawing the wrong conclusion from this. LLMs aren't perfect, but I would vastly prefer to be assisted by an LLM over the braindead customer service chatbots …

Sounds like a win-win then.

You make a good case, but I cant help but wonder if the people who will die from lack of a transplant agree with UCSF's decision.
