OverGrid is Go-like territory strategy in three dimensions. On each turn, build one connected 15-cube construction from three five-cube blocks, then claim territory, capture space, and score exact-height tiles. Play locally, hybrid, or online: https://overgrid.swyx.io/play OverGrid is an unofficial, not-for-profit fan-made game heavily inspired by Strata.

Go had a baby with a spatial-reasoning benchmark. OverGrid is a fast 3D strategy game for shape rotators: rotate five-cube pieces, build one connected construction, and claim territory and height. Play locally, hybrid, or online with custom maps and new AI opponents. Play: https://overgrid.swyx.io OverGrid is an unofficial, not-for-profit fan-made game heavily inspired by Strata.

This conversation delves into the concept of legibility, exploring its implications in technology, society, and personal branding. The speakers discuss how legibility affects understanding and control, the balance between authenticity and visibility, and the role of AI in shaping our perceptions of legibility. They emphasize the importance of creating a legible online presence while navigating the complexities of personal identity and social dynamics. spawned by https://x.com/stevekrouse/status/2013645140129206675 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seeing_Like_a_State https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2010/07/26/a-big-little-idea-called-legibility/ https://flocrivello.com/software-the-tough-tomato-principle-and-the-great-weirdening-of-the-world/ https://www.swyx.io/mimicry-reflexivity Takeaways - Legibility is crucial for understanding and control in society. - Illegibility can serve as a protective strategy against control. - Cultural and historical contexts shape our understanding of legibility. - Online communities often struggle with balancing legibility and authenticity. - Personal branding requires a careful approach to legibility. - Legibility can enhance professional opportunities and networking. - AI and technology are reshaping the concept of legibility. - Creating a legible online presence is essential for visibility. - The interplay of legibility and personal identity is complex. - Legibility can be both a tool and a weapon in social dynamics.

Dillon Mulroy, a staff engineer at Vercel, shares his experience using Effect to rewrite core registrar services, highlighting how it addresses common scalability challenges in large TypeScript monorepos and engineering organizations. The discussion emphasizes Effect's approach to treating errors as values, its lazy evaluation model, and its comprehensive ecosystem, which includes state management (Effect Atom), RPC, and platform-agnostic APIs. 00:00 Introduction to Effect and Vercel Domains 02:02 What is Effect?

a lightly updated version of my talk given at OpenAI DevDay - with new additions from Dec 2024. done for hugo anderson's Maven course

I saw it opening night 2 weeks with my sis again, and have just done the second viewing when my friend Barr booked out a whole theater for her friends (surprisingly cheap - only $300 to do this for a couple dozen people!). I figured I would write down my thoughts on it for an hour or so. here goes.
