I continue to be extremely impressed with our bankers at @MorganStanley. To be able to submit a wire transfer, while on a call with the team at @remote, confirm in the app, and have it all wrapped up before hanging up? PRICELESS 🏆 Related

I restomodded a 1995 GPS Time & Frequency Server, and learned wire wrapping, a little GPS history, and how to avoid the Telstra back-to-2006 bug. Video: Related
Wire wrapping is neat. Never tried it before, but now I have and I love it for prototyping! (And no that is not AI-generated, somehow the physics of wire wrapping results in these beautiful little towers of gas-tight low-resistance connections!) Related

I’m trying to reattach interior pieces of a decades-old violin case. The pieces were originally affixed by staples that have a 4.5mm crown, 10mm leg length, and are made from wire that’s 0.75mm thick. I have searched a bunch permutations of those dimensions (metric and imperial-converted) with various terms (“narrow crown”, “upholstery”, “trim”, etc.) and am still coming up empty for what these staples are and where I could get new ones, and what kind of device I would need. Anyone here know? Related

. @yurimilner was that world class investor. After one meeting he said he wanted to invest and asked me for a valuation. I threw out a number 10 pct below what i figured our next round would be. He said he would wire the money next week. I think it was $150m. Never asked for board seat or any terms. He ttly got what the founder of a high growth company cared about. No meetings. No terms. Dont bother us. Let us cook! Quoting @kevinleeme Whenever other founders ask me who my best investors are and who I’d recommend they work with, I name the handful of VCs who rarely bother us and trust us to operate. It’s funny how simply doing nothing as an investor can put you in the top 1% of a founder’s book. Related

Same Playbit program running on a Mac and a Raspberry Pi, local-first multiplayer over internet relay (not LAN; real-world latency) and webgpu. Exact same wasm running in both places. @playbit_ for Linux (Wayland) coming soon! Linux Related

i really can’t fathom what github would have looked like had we had LLMs in 2010. the amount of automation built into hubot was staggering anyway. the company was already being run fly-by-wire. LLMs Related

Is there a service where I can rent access to Linux desktop machines with actual displays? We're implementing the Playbit runtime for Linux and it's surprisingly difficult to test various desktop configurations. We need a real GPU with a display connected, for testing dawn/webgpu, vsync, display sleep, etc. We use Modal and AWS, neither have had machines that I've been able to test with properly. Ideally there's a way to test a variety of systems (like ubuntu, arch, alpine etc) × GPUs (nvidia, amd, intel) × window managers. Linux Related
Pseudonymous reviewer who publishes measured, standardised flashlight and knife reviews at zeroair.org, including runtime, output and tint measurements.
Their words
The Reylight Dawn Max titanium flashlight is very throwy, but still identifiable as a Dawn. I always liked Dawns, so this is a very good combination.

Long-time Debian developer and free-software maintainer (remctl, INN, pam-krb5) who has published book reviews on his personal site since the 1990s.
Their words
The best book I read this year was also the last book I reviewed (and yes, I snuck the review under the wire for that reason): Bethany Jacobs's This Brutal Moon, the conclusion of the Kindom Trilogy that started with These Burning Stars. I thought the first two books of the series were interesting but flawed, but the conclusion blew me away and improved the entire trilogy in retrospect. Like all books I rate 10 out of 10, I'm sure a large part of my reaction is idiosyncratic, but two friends of mine also loved the conclusion so it's not just me.

Their words
Few will deeply read as many works of literature across the Western canon as Barzun did, given his exceptionally long career in academia, but From Dawn to Decadence grants the humble reader an extraordinary vantage, thanks to Barzun’s vast corpus of knowledge and his perspicacious observations about cultural currents across half a millennium.

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.
