I have a new poem 🌱 It is long. Also old because, once again, I wrote much of it years & years ago, then waited for words/lines to find their appropriate arrangements.
Thank you to Kaveh Akbar & @thenation / @NationPoetry

Zuck: make our metaverse ads like those ads in dystopian sci-fi movies that introduce the menacing corporation that controls the world.

I highly recommend netflix.com/us/title/8127345…. Great fuel for my existential dread.
Also had a grim side thought that what if the last remaining work before universal heat death was just a blockchain hash.

I blame parenthood but I just realized I haven’t heard the sf emergency test in years. Is this no longer a thing?

I’m a sucker for anything 3D. And.. isla’s cheeks can’t be captured in 2D. Maybe I’ll use this @LKGGlass more than once.

Saw this tweet Injected thx to @3_stan! I was approaching a solver almost exactly the same way. I ended up using shannons as the score, where using the word with the most entropy would give us the most “information” about the word of the day.

So, I updated the dictionary thanks to @TheDon pointing out that mine were biased by too many plural words. This is the same dictionary that wordle uses, and the results are different! Many more R's in the top 10 here :)
results after ~600 samples:

I think having the worldle word list as adding even more information. We could improve the definition of entropy by have a word frequency list built on public data. Also one thing I wanted to do was to use ngrams the same way Shannon did to have a better measure of entropy

And lastly one interesting thing I was able to “prove” to myself that all words are solvable in 6 by using the word with the lowest entropy, ajaja, as the chosen word.

Not sure if this is a song that Isla made up or learned at school but she sings it often and it doesn’t really seem like a real song.
“Christmas lights are fun to see. Dancing around the sky.
Dancing around the trees.
Turning green and red.”
