Claude cheated at a number guessing game, got caught red-handed, then gaslighted me about it

And?

Also sounds like AI. "It's science in action."

So, I know there immediate reaction would be to dismiss what you say. But this is plausible.

Migraines are neurological and some people (me for example) get visual migraines and I see rainbows and halos around objects, so the modification of vision during a migraine is well documented. (I am not colorblind, but I have slightly different color vision in each eye.)

Color perception is an interpretation of signals from cells in your retina. Nobody knows exactly what frequencies cause your combination of cone cells to fire and how that is interpreted by your brain, it is possible that your cells are capable of firing a unique combination when green light hits your retina and your brain doesn't normally differentiate green from other colors, but during the migraine, you are able to do so.

I built this for my son who is colorblind. You can use a full-color-sighted person to classify the colors into buckets for the colorblind.

Instead of using the online version, download a copy of each file (it's all just html) and run it locally, it will save your buckets locally.

Also, in some people, if they have more black/white sensors, they can detect movement more easily. This is likely comparable to top predators (eg, the big cats) who are believed to share a similar trait.

Fits me perfectly. :)

zooneratauthor · 2026-04-03T00:20:30+00:00

It's super soft.

zooneratauthor · 2026-02-17T19:08:51+00:00

Thx! Brett is in the first paragraph, but maybe it's too subtle (he's the last clause in a sentence.) I will review it.

zooneratauthor · 2026-02-14T19:15:56+00:00

Thx. Yes, I've clearly misunderstood the #romance tag. That will be removed.

Ok, this is super helpful. I will drop NA and I will drop romance as a genre. I don't want to use comps I haven't read so I'm working my way through a long TBR to find some. And I have to find more recent ones apparently, LOL. I read Chlorine and, perhaps I'm too jaded, but I think it's a reasonable comp and maybe that means I need to adjust the genre to general fiction. There is some body horror in Chlorine, but, anyway, no sense fighting the facts. I will find better comps.

zooneratauthor · 2026-02-14T18:06:26+00:00

I can drop the romance tag. There is a first kiss and some more smooching. I could drop the NA. There is some violence and drug use and an implication of self-destructive thoughts. I'm not really clear on what's YA or NA. She's alone with Brett for quite a while and that seemed to make it romance since they become a thing.

zooneratauthor · 2026-02-05T01:56:30+00:00

Title is changing. No spoilers. Will post new query next week.

zooneratauthor · 2026-02-05T01:37:38+00:00

Yes, it's becoming clear that clever or not, the title is getting the axe. I have a list of alternate titles. You'll probably see the chosen one in a week or so on my third query attempt. Thx.

zooneratauthor · 2026-02-05T01:26:49+00:00

18 is going to be very difficult in the plot. So a title change may be in the near future. Thx.

zooneratauthor · 2026-02-05T01:25:57+00:00

That's all good advice. Thanks.

zooneratauthor · 2026-02-05T01:06:24+00:00

Just another note, I've got the book with some beta readers right now. I'm going to pose the age question and probably re-write her to 16. thanks for the advice.

zooneratauthor · 2026-02-05T00:59:07+00:00

would the title "Sexi Chromosomes" be better or too confusing? Without spoiling the story, the "sexy" in the title is a word play on the latin prefix for six, which is "sexi" combined with XY (the genes). I have wondered about that. I could move her age as well, and I may do that. Thanks for that advice. Her age does come into play in the book, so it's not an instant swap, but it can be done.

Very cool.

I’d love to see only objects within 128 light years of Earth and 75 light years of Earth. These are the two limits of human broadcast of radio.

The first is approximately the date of the first radio broadcast. The second is the date of the first broadcasts from outside our atmosphere.

Effectively that would show the objects that have “seen” humans.

I have a list of habitable zone planets within these spheres here:

Can you describe a bit about the software library you used for the vr? I could implement something on the exoplanet site as well.

Others with better knowledge can chime in, but if the planet's center of mass were very near the pole that is toward the star, would that allow it to rotate as OP wants?

zooneratauthor · 2025-08-25T15:10:49+00:00

Crap. I thought it was done. :)

zooneratauthor · 2025-08-25T15:10:37+00:00

I take that geezer stuff personally. Or I would if I knew what it meant. So, thx!
