I'm fascinated by the laurel forests of La Gomera, one the Canary Islands. They're full of different species of trees with shiny, waxy leaves. Mosses and lichens grow on the branches, and the ground is covered with a green mantle of dripping ferns and liverworts thriving in the permanent damp. The place has a mysterious, prehistoric air. The lower altitudes of this island are deserts, but the upper parts catch fog, known locally as "horizontal rain" (lluvia horizontal). Near-constant northeasterly trade winds carry moist Atlantic air that condenses into a persistent low cloud layer. This "sea… Related

You can build a dragon curve recursively in a simple way, as shown here by Jahobr: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dragon_Curve_unfolding_zoom_numbered.gif But there's another very different way you can get a dragon curve! It's much more mysterious, but recently there's been progress on figuring it out. (1/n) Related

A reader emailed to say he was getting tired of the setting. He was right, so I'm adding 40 chapters to Zero Knowledge - 23 of them inside the part that's already published. zeroknowledge.ink

But sometimes the house is already uninhabitable and haunted by mysterious entities that seem to come from nowhere, and it makes sense in a situation like that to shine a light on dark corners… Quoting @ClipperRen werner herzog on why he will never go to therapy "i'd rather die than go to an analyst" "if you harshly light every last corner of a house the house will be uninhabitable it's like that with your soul" he just dropped the coldest take on therapy ive ever heard and somehow made it sound completely n… Related

this old tweet is getting some likes (why? mysterious), so I re-read it, and still like it. it also applies really well to what I am working on now: I need lots of VMs for agents, but I don't need lots of CPU/RAM. hence @exedev Quoting @davidcrawshaw @danluu one of the big early ideas behind tailscale was a single computer is powerful enough to solve almost every problem, and that this is not widely understood. we need fewer distributed systems and more spreadsheet implementations.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
