Apropos of nothing, I just launched Spelt, a daily word farming game!. Spelt is a web game about vocabulary, strategy, and pushing your luck. It rewards thoughtful play, but won't outlast your morning coffee. Give it a try, and challenge a friend. Link in the comments.🌾

I get lots of questions about the visuals and animations. If you're interested in that stuff, look no further than @JoshWComeau. I've benefitted enormously from his blogs posts and CSS course. (Thanks, Josh!).

If Nabber isn't your jam, you might enjoy one of my previous games, Tile Tizzy and Triq.

If you're a trick-taking fan, you should check out @TrickstersTable (a cornucopia of trick games!) and @TrickTalkers (the premiere trick podcast).
Nabber is so much fun:

Do you enjoy trick-taking games like Spades, Hearts, and Oh Hell?. If so, I'd love it if you tried my latest game Nabber!. Each game only takes a few minutes. The rules—a twist on traditional games—are simple, but not easy. I bet you can't get 100%. 😁. Link below.

This repost is an endorsement.
"To give you a sense of how far a dollar goes at @FTC, I'd love to describe just one month in the life of our agency.". Striking moment from @FTC oversight hearing: @BedoyaFTC runs down 30 days of accomplishments, starting with preventing a monopoly on a lifesaving drug. (1/2)

I made a new game!. Tile Tizzy is a daily dice game with a slot machine aesthetic. Balance competing priorities, push your luck, and make it rain coins. Come back each day for a brand new theme. No login, no ads. I'd be thrilled if you gave it a try. 🙂. Link below.

this is fascinating.
This is, of course, a big fault line in the debate about LLMs — one camp says it's all just statistics, regardless of the complexity of the behavior. FWIW, I'm in the internal representation camp. The good news is it's empirically testable! Early work:
