A friend turned me on to asking Fable to wireframe different options when I have a tricky UI problem with a lot of requirements and too many possible paths. Game changing. Gives me flashbacks to what @bmoesta taught me about using orthogonal arrays when an engineering problem has too many variables. It's not about one-shotting the answer. It's about getting enough contrast between options to clarify which variables (aka "factors") are most important. Not which solution is best -- which variables matter more. THEN I can use that knowledge to decide to fix certain variables and narrow the space… Related

I said I’d do politics differently. So these are the facts: The UK has seen the lowest number of summer small boat arrivals since 2020. We’ve returned more than 80,000 people with no right to be here – and annual returns are at their highest level since 2016. There are half the number of asylum seekers in hotels than there were last year. And today, we go further by bringing the total number of deployed French officers tackling small boat crossings to nearly 1,050. But I know that we can’t be complacent on this.

Apple's market cap was about $351–360 billion when Steve Jobs died. On September 1, 2026, Tim Cook's last day as CEO, it was $4.75 trillion. When Ballmer handed over to Satya Nadella in Feb 2014, Microsoft market cap was about $315B. It’s $3.7 trillion now. Similar outcome with Sam Walton and Wal-Mart. It went the other way with GE and Jack Welch. So, it cuts both ways, and I think the deciding factor is whether the underlying business quality, moat, and capital-allocation discipline survive the transition intact.

It seems intuitive that a solved problem is unquestionably better than an unsolved problem: a magic button which, when pressed, turns the latter into the former at no cost would thus seem to be a "free lunch" that there would be no hesitation in pressing. But even such a benign-seeming operation as answering a question can have irreversible costs.

The Superlogical server is built to run anywhere and everywhere and serve a level of scale (terminals+clients) unmatched w/ prior solutions. So let's start talking about that, starting with memory usage and comparisons to other popular multiplexers. I want to start by talking high level: why does terminal/client scale matter? This matters because we're seeing unprecedented terminal usage and client attachment mainly due to AI. They like to spawn more sessions than we've ever seen, and they are all their own clients.
