Ok the good news is that after all these months, I do still actually remember how to knit.

The bad news is I need to figure out which bits of this chaotic pile of floss were supposed to go with which WIP cross stitch project 🤦‍♀️

A couple of weeks ago I showed a preview of a new mode for Mines, in my puzzle collection. I'm pleased to say that the new Mines is now completed and live! You can now play Minesweeper on a wide range of tilings in your browser
https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/mines.html
or download a desktop version from the parent page which supports the same set of grids.

As well as the support for lots of grid types, there's also a new user preference (off by default) to make it easier to play on them. When you click on a clue square to potentially clear around it, the existing flags adjacent to the square light up, to make it easier to count them and work out how many more mines you're still expecting. Particularly useful in the hat tiling, where it's easy to mistake exactly what is adjacent to what!

I expect different people will prefer different grids. Personally I think the triangular grid is particularly tricky and puzzly; the hexagonal honeycomb makes a gentle introduction; the Cairo, Floret and Kites tilings are a nice set in between those extremes; and of course the aperiodic tilings are there to keep you on your toes and ready for anything.

Many thanks to Anders Höglund for this excellent piece of work.

The Internal Office of Cats (IOC) has confirmed that 5 pounds of dry cat food in a sealed bag has been taken out of storage and relocated to the kitchen, citing "increasing geopolitical unrest".

The IOC said on Wednesday the cat food bag is now being stored in the kitchen because it can be more easily accessed "in a crisis situation".

Breaking, exclusive and spicy, from me:

A new identity theft service launched on the dark web this week is selling digital scans of more than 153 million drivers licenses from people in the United States and Canada. Based on interviews with individuals whose licenses are available for purchase on this service, it appears to be siphoning images collected by a widely-used identity verification company based in Louisiana. KrebsOnSecurity also has learned that the New Orleans field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) today launched an official inquiry into the source of the images.

RE: https://social.lol/@brennan/117182194255361262

Everyone wants to be "punk" because of the cultural capital being "anti mainstream" can give but doing that with LLMs really misses the whole point.

Punk is about _DIY_ and LLMs/"AI agents" are the opposite of that.

The pitch of "You know three chords now you're in a band" and "make a zine on a copier and staple it together" was about you being able to do what you want your way. To actually empower you to explore what you can, want to, have to say and change in the world. The "output" is an accidental side effect of the exploration of self and (very importantly!) community. LLMs are about isolated creation of artifacts without relation to the process and the self.

LLM usage is by definition _anti-punk_.

And this Saturn decagon seems to be new, taking shape as we watch. Weird winds are wiggling on the ringed planet!

Oh remember when we said the PATRIOT Act would be used against people domestically?

"HSI — DHS’ investigative agency, housed under Immigration and Customs Enforcement — used NSPM-7 to justify a wide-ranging investigation into the financial records of unions, climate groups, and more."

If you're following at home, NSPM-7 says antifa is a "domestic terrorism operation" and if you oppose this government, you're antifa.

BREAKING: On a 212-205 party line vote the US House passes anti-BDS (Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions) measure to federally defund any college or university that boycotts the apartheid state of Israel.

FYI! People have rights. States do not have rights! Boycotting Israel is just as valid as boycotting Saudi Arabia as was boycotting apartheid South Africa.

Boycott is protected free speech. Banning boycott of apartheid Israel is an indefensible First Amendment violation.

So I released something!

My favorite VR game in the world, SUPERHYPERCUBE, has been ported to the Playstation®VR2, by… ~me, actually~ (with support from the original developers)!

It is currently half off if you owned the PS VR1 version.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwPJOcEoofk

This is an arcade-style spatial reasoning game, kind of like "Tetris" from the perspective of the Tetris block. It is an audiovisual feast and has an incredible sense of presence.

If anyone you know has a PS VR2, please let them know!
