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

Oh whoops, I hadn't made the saturday zeepza.com game, all good now if anyone tried and was confused why it said no games available

I'm hosting this year's Oktrollber, a game jam about making "Troll games"! itch.io/jam/oktrollb... #itch #gamejam #oktrollber2026

Do you think if grok existed in 2022, Elon would have vibe coded a different letter for X

"hmm, I need to catch up on the latest infowars" is not a thought my brain was expecting in 2026

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 want to make a joke about this maybe being where they are filming the next fallout season but it feels too on the nose

New game in preview at zeepza.com/games/word-g..., a spatial game disguised as a spelling game

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

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

instead of using the lorem ipsum text for test content, it is more fun to use the wikipedia page about lorem ipsum

This is amazing also, bluesky desperately needs better self-reply threading for this type of content

My quick other app take: I wish discord let you fork the app like bluesky does

can't get over the Analogue Pocket port of Quake using bespoke-developed single-game hardware accelerators on FPGA, this is incredibly cool (and exactly what FPGAs are good for) but also so fucking silly github.com/thinkelastic...

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.

this account is run by a human at NASA JPL who only posts real images with their receipts. it only has 11k followers compared to the 200k the ai slop space account has

This is like when everyone was taking pictures of the moon and the AI was just giving them nasa photos, and they'd say how great it is at astrophotography... but worse petapixel.com/2026/03/28/r...

Released this chaotic thing! I don't know!! jakeout.itch.io/rupert-and-o...

workin' towards a game jam submission

Wow, Claude has finally caught up to Godot

Has anyone ever written an Ayn Rand "fan fic" of Atlas Shrugged from the perspective of the atlas

I have honestly thought about making something like this, cool to see I'm not the only one

Let's do this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtQ9...

it's so much worse than i even thought tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-i...

Why do some cognitive biases have the vibe of prompt injection attacks

This answers the question no one had previously thought to ask, “what would have happened if you gave prime Hunter S Thompson Claude 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

A thread of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) that look like record covers... because that's EXACTLY what the world needs 1. Huey Lewis and the News: link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

yikes

forgot to actually post about this whoops. i've released my entry to the #FallingBlockJam, in which I believe I have incurred the wrath of God for my crimes. introducing Project Omni, the *other* kind of game jam: itch.io/jam/falling-...
