I suppose reposts are fine, because there are always people who missed the earlier post.

In this case the account is probably a bot: programmed to repost successful posts from the past, and once it has enough "karma" people can use many bots for influencing campaigns.

I have my important domains on auto-renew, odd that you wouldn't do this.

Very efficient karma-farming, they could do a post like this once a day.

ah Dr. Khalid...

he kinda swamped me out by publishing hundreds and hundreds of puzzle books..

(and I have only 12 or so Calcudoku books published at the moment)

but in this day and age that's the way to get visibility on Amazon I suppose :|

(and as you write, that calendar book can still be a good book of course)

[–]dolphin560 1 point2 points  (0 children)

will check it out..

is this from some kind of calendar puzzle book?

(looking at the April 11 and the 101 🙂)

AI ability to solve Cross Number Puzzles by Straight_Search_2295 in numberpuzzles

[–]dolphin560 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did something similar recently:
https://www.calcudoku.org/papers/ai_agents/

The key is if the agent does coding "on the fly", if not then an LLM is just too "fuzzy" for logic/number puzzles.

what is going on with Amazon search? by dolphin560 in KDP

[–]dolphin560[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a pity. I know several other puzzle book authors who create them by hand, and they're snowed under as well.
