Thanks to Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, my first attempt at a blog is forever preserved on the web. As with most first drafts, it’s embarrassing! Here is an archive snapshot from May 2006 of “Tim Ferriss: The Human Experiment.” The domain name will probably give you a chuckle…
embarrassing preserved drafts
The the words it uses that this site has seen
least often elsewhere. Posts are matched on those words alone —
nothing here is a summary of this one.

As the view from Moscow becomes increasingly embarrassing, it seems increasingly likely Putin will start a new more desperate phase of his war against Ukraine. Experts expect him to start a quiet mobilization of troops shortly after tomorrow's parliamentary elections. He seems to want 300,000 - 500,000 new soldiers. Despite increasing payments, recruitment has been failing to keep pace with the rising casualties. We can also expect Putin to step up attacks against Europe. More drones flying into European air space, and more stuff like this: • On August 4, 2026, a bomb squad at Leipzig/Halle A… pravda.com.ua

Sorry this is very embarrassing. Why write about a literature you haven't read at all? American novels have one of the strongest comedic traditions that runs from Mark Twain to Percival Everett. And if you don't Moby-Dick is hilarious you should probably try reading the book Quoting @alysdenby The Great Flatsby: why American novels aren’t funny 🇺🇸😐 ✍️ me in @spectator America Related

Latest little 3D printing life hack: print drafts of new models in white PLA. Easy to scribe, mark up with a pencil, see dimensions in any lighting, etc. So much easier sticking pencil marks on the model than making notes on a sticky. Related

✅ Yes the code matters In experiments we ran, well-named and organized code can dramatically improve agent outcomes: - fewer tokens spent/more context window preserved - fewer confidently wrong answers developed Verified against 14 model/harness combos incl Sol, Fable, GLM 5.2 and more Quoting @benv.ca 👋 New blog post: "How coding agents read files – and how to write for them" In it I explain how code optimized for agent-discovery can lead to major token savings on search + retrieval, even with frontier models like GPT-5.6 Sol Plus other important findings ⬇️ Related

Western civilization has collapsed before. But a few scholars preserved the ideas that once made Rome great. They made a backup, and it did eventually come all the way back. It just took one thousand years. Quoting @cremieuxrecueil Sneak peak of a small handful of the evidence from my forthcoming manuscript (summary coming to @palladiummag!) on how there's A LOT of quantitative evidence for the European Dark Ages. There are so many more graphs than these ^^ Related

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.
