Hmmm I think you're sort of right but not entirely. It's true that a novel consists of a valid organization of tokens, and that this sequence can be feasibly made to be output from a model. But when you say this: > So there sho

Thank you! Definitely an inspiration, sort of like a human proof-of-work canvas

Yup! A fairly simple deterministic RNG such that it can be generated both client and server side. This strategy greatly reduces the burden of transmitting all the letters as you scroll around, only needing the subset of found words

Oh that's not a bad idea, and easy enough to implement! I'll definitely get to it later today - I think because I play it on my phone the contrast is less obtrusive, but on a big desktop screen it's a bit boggling to look at

Thanks for the feedback, I've heard similar before and meant to make a lower contrast option - I'll definitely get on it.

Fantastic idea! I didn't see my https://words.zip game here so I'll submit it, even though it didn't get mucht traction on HN - it's up to 288,000 words found now!

I'm okay with it being neutral, neither good nor bad.

Take a look around the map! Some people are making drawings, some are just trying to fill a dense area as much as possible, some restrict themselves to only 4 or 5 letter words. Just interesting little projects people are working on

A lot of people have called out some interesting things - one thing that I notice is how the cold water ports shut down in the winter (in the northern hemisphere). It's one of those things I've always heard and known about, but to

Pre-ordered one! Price point is great. Does TTS happen on the companion device or needs Internet access?

If 100% of the fuel we use comes from this technique - where it is imbued with carbon that was atmosphere-bound (flue gas) then we have decreased emissions significantly, since the alternative was that we release the flue gas CO2 AND the bu

Electrolysis is one of the most promising paths to CO2 utilization - not just collecting and burying CO2, but using it. With a feed of CO2 plus electricity, you can make a number of chemicals. Some companies look to make fuels - but there&#

Still supporting https://monkeys.zip - my pet art project where users simulate thousands of monkeys on typewriters for silly rewards. After which, moving on to a music creation app.

I never even strictly enabled it, but I'm a big fan. My pixel 5 from 2020 still easily gets a full day of battery life, and without direct evidence, I suspect always slow-charging has helped with that.
