@simonwillison.net to evaluate jev you should ask it how good each pelican svg is from Claude's last matrix

Probably needs more tuning, I think today's puzzle felt easier, actually, but I added spoiler letters that show up occasionally on hard mode wordbox to try to make it so you can't assume every location had a word attached @ zeepza.com/games/wordbo...

I had some feedback that some of the UX bits of zeepza weren't landing for the younger end, I added a new "Jr" difficulty that is simplified for folks. My daughter enjoyed it :)

Yesterday's letterdrop had a couple glitches, so I added some systems to (1) prevent proper names (2) validate unique answers and (3) give "partial credit" for to make it easier to tell which words are part of the (ideally) single valid solution.

I'm a big fan of that logged out dinosaur thing in chrome, I made the "error 404, page not found" page on my daily puzzle website a secret stacking puzzle zeepza.com/404

404 FOUND!! (this is a screenshot of 404, the secret stacking puzzle game on zeepza)

Feedback has been super helpful on zeepza so far! My favorite thing of giving it to other people is how quickly they find things that should have been obvious to you

My kids and I do daily puzzles, like the NYT puzzles and such... but connections is kinda hard if you're a kid. I made a daily puzzle website that is kid-accessible, parent-fun, would love feedback zeepza.com

This is like one of the worst security vulnerabilities I've ever seen, they hard coded the root password identically in every single mower and the firmware resets it back every single time you update it. It can shows you the wi-fi credentials, address and email of every user. Great piece by Sean.

It was really fun submitting a game jam game last weekend. I got a bunch of positive feedback!

A favorite so far! There was just enough challenge to make it interesting for me! Loved the look and feel of it, all the sound effects gave it perfect feedback.

A student & I got a 4 page review on a manuscript we submitted to a peer reviewed journal. It’s hard not to suspect AI. But however this was generated, this line was so troubling: "There is mention of limitations to the research, which also undermines transparency and credibility of the manuscript."

c. Limitations of the study and future research: There is mention of limitations to the research, which also undermines transparency and credibility of the manuscript. The conclusion briefly states "further research is required" but does not explain what questions remain unanswered or how future studies could address limitations.
d. Overstepping in policy/practice recommendations: The authors should be mindful that their policy and practice recommendations currently go beyond the data and analysis provided. The study did not examine policy implementation or effectiveness, and have not provide evidence that suggest which interventions would work. As currently framed, the recommendations read as prescriptive rather than grounded in the analysis. In revising the manuscript, the authors should temper their recommendations by framing these as potential implications and link each one explicitly to a theme.
e. Conclusion: This final part of the discussion is fairly generic rather than a tightly written set of conclusions that synthesises the key findings and provides a strong closing argument.

It's ZZT's 35th birthday, I got back into making games in it recently as a hobby (bottom right game is mine!) -- but, it's what got me into coding. ZZT, tools like Scratch, Minecraft mods even, all fill a place in my heart, for giving people, esp kids, a chance to tell stories with code.

Happy #dosember! I made a textmode (ZZT) game, jakeout.itch.io/botdown, for a dos-themed game jam, inspired by that old flash game "motherload". Kudos to @emmfoolery.bsky.social for organizing the jam. Lots more folks are also streaming old-school games if you're feeling nostalgic, at dosember.com

Sharing @jay.bsky.team's discourse over the last few days, feeling disappointed.

Jerry: bluesky user bursts into waffle house oh so you hate pancakes

Jay: too real, we're going to try to fix this, social media doesn't have to be this way

Lucas: have y'all banned Jesse singal yet, or

Jay: WAFFLES

Darryl:
Dear CEO, there's an active subset of Bluesky that routinely harasses trans and queer folks, even dozing them. This person in particular is a huge problem and even was cited in federal documents harming trans folks. What are you doing to address this?
