Had not heard of it, thanks for sharing! I tend to think it’s good to follow one’s muse and make something useful for oneself and friends rather than over focus on “competitors”
I took this approach for my last two projects (Water Cooler Trivia and Twofer Goofer) and ultimately was able to scale and sell both with a lot of elbow grease!
Like someone else said, 2024 has a "total eclipse", but its path is more central, largely avoiding the solar-heavy west. It will still hit Texas (ERCOT), but since the date is early April the grid conditions should be relaxed enough that it will be another event where some planning should mitigate potential issues.
The next eclipse that would hit in the summer (which would have tighter conditions and more reliance on solar to serve demand) won't be until August 2044. Who knows exactly what the grid will look like by then, but you will certainly see a massive dip in solar generation.
I doubt that a total eclipse would actually have much more effect than an annular eclipse - in an annular eclipse like the one a few days ago the sun is still very nearly covered.
The 2044 total eclipse is the next one in summer in the contiguous US; I wonder if some sooner ones will also be interesting for this question. (I don't know enough about the worldwide geographic distribution of solar power to pick out candidates.)
There will be an eclipse across the midwestern US up through parts of New England in 2024- you can show its path if you click "2024" in the "Track path of eclipse" widget near the bottom of the page.
Ethan has been an excellent source for keeping up with the advances in AI on his twitter account, through the lens of both academia (he's a professor) and "industry" (he professors in an MBA program).
In the article, I mention that Twofer Goofer requires perfect or strict rhyme. Perfect and strict rhyme require that all syllables are pronounced identically in the speaker's tongue (for me, American Midwest accent), except for the first sound of the word which can vary.
Hence pooh-teen and proh-tein do not rhyme. Skell-ih-tin and Gell-ih-tin do rhyme.
A game like this requires a pretty tight rhyming definition to not annoy players in a given day!
Hah - we only made the blog over the weekend and don't have any nav or menu for now. But yep we link the prior article a few times in this article, that article goes into more detail!
I tried it both ways; with individual prompts and prompts in bulk. I ran both tests the same way. There's a tradeoff in writing a legible/interesting blog post and relating step-by-step the way the evaluation was ran! Appreciate you reading and the feedback :)
From Chicago ... and with more than a thousand solves on that puzzle we've never received a single complaint about the rhyme on that one (plus the stats say users find it an extremely easy rhyme to solve)! Curious how you pronounce that one such that they don't rhyme?
According to the dictionary (and matching my own non-native pronunciation), cactus is /ˈkæktʌs/, practice is /ˈpɹæktɪs/
The terminal /tʌs/ is not quite the same thing as /tɪs/; since they are both unstressed, the difference can be hard to notice in fast speech, but becomes clear when enunciating.
