The Anti-Pattern Game: A Modal Logic Puzzle

2025-08-13

This article introduces a two-player game called the "Anti-Pattern Game", where players take turns placing black and white pebbles on a line. A player loses if a sequence of three identical subsequences appears. The author used a Haskell program to find a winning strategy for Player 1 in under 22 moves. The article explores broader questions, such as whether cooperating players can play indefinitely, game strategies with more colors or repetition rules, and winning conditions and strategies for a three-player variant. These questions are challenging, and some answers remain elusive.

The Challenges and Solutions of Single-File Fennel Libraries

The Challenges and Solutions of Single-File Fennel Libraries

This article delves into the challenges of building single-file libraries in Fennel, a Lisp dialect embedded in Lua, particularly the complexities of handling macros and functions together. The author meticulously dissects Lua's module system, including the mechanics of `package.loaded`, `package.preload`, and `package.searchers`, explaining how Fennel leverages them for compiling and loading modules. The core of the article focuses on resolving limitations of Fennel macros, such as the inability to directly export macros and the interdependence between macros. A clever solution is presented, utilizing `eval-compiler` and `relative-require` to package macros and functions within a single file, and addressing macro loading by manually setting the `fennel.macro-loaded` table during compilation. Finally, the author outlines future improvements for Fennel's macro system, proposing the removal of macro modules, direct loading of entire modules during compilation, and adopting Clojure's approach to resolve macro dependencies.

Spirit Airlines teeters on the brink of bankruptcy

Just months after emerging from bankruptcy, budget airline Spirit Airlines is warning of substantial doubt about its ability to remain a going concern within the next year. Weak domestic leisure travel demand and increased competition have led to a $245.8 million net loss in Q2 2025, significantly higher than the previous year. Unlike larger carriers, Spirit heavily relies on domestic leisure travel and hasn't been able to offset losses through premium offerings. To meet debt obligations and credit card processor requirements, the airline is considering selling assets, including aircraft, real estate, and airport gate rights. This highlights the vulnerability of the airline industry under economic pressure.

Evaluating LLMs in Text Adventures: A Novel Approach

2025-08-12

This article proposes a novel method for evaluating the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) in text adventure games. The approach involves setting a turn limit and defining a set of in-game achievements to measure how well an LLM can progress within those constraints. Due to the high degree of freedom and branching in text adventures, this method isn't designed to provide an absolute performance score, but rather to offer a relative comparison between different LLMs. The LLM is given a series of achievement goals and a limited number of turns to achieve them; the final score is based on the number of achievements completed. Even powerful LLMs struggle to explore all branches within the turn limit, making the score a reflection of relative capability rather than absolute gaming skill.
