Your color correction is incredible - the frames you selected look much better than the original video.

The matrix of vehicles is my favorite part. If you drive down these same streets today it's a sea of black, white and grey.

You'll be happy to know that Les Girls is still there today, advertising burlesque, go go dancers and "full nude". They finally replaced the sign earlier this year, but it still looks very much the same.

Les Girls is the feature of a fascinating podcast, too: https://www.kpbs.org/podcasts/stripper-energy

The introductory blog post has a lot more information

and the model card

The broader announcement of 7 MAI models seems to be where the 5B active in the title comes from

Agreed. Farmer's O for the P (provide a preferential option for the poor in health care) was clearly central to his life. I think about it often.

On top of that he was incredibly competent at navigating the combination of hostile bureaucracy, apathy, and disorganization. It's incredible what he and PIH accomplished.

The Soul of a New Machine really grabbed me in college. Tracy Kidder wrote with a unique style that (to me) really drives the narrative forward while making you stop and consider the forces behind the story he's telling. The characters he writes about are real people and they seem like it.

Moutains Beyond Mountains[1], another book by Kidder, is even more compelling to me. It's a fascinating story of Paul Farmer, who dedicated his life to fighting infectious disease, especially in Haiti.

This is an announcement of time-based billing.

This was a 24 hour task from a single prompt, GPT-5.2

The second half of the article is entirely about kibibyte and the other IEC units.

The Charles Schulz museum in Santa Rosa, CA is a must visit if you’re in the area!

StarCraft was actually built by Blizzard Entertainment (formerly Silicon and Synapse), Blizzard North (Condor) were the team behind Diablo and Diablo 2.

There's at least one implementation, a Mac Plus:

I'm guessing it was Hugs:

As mentioned in the article, there is a 10 second value in Tokio - the default thread timeout.

I think you're underestimating the influence of R.E.M. on their peers and those that follow. The first 3 that come to mind:

Nirvana - Cobain famously said "If I could write just a couple of songs as good as what they’ve written".

The National - Toured with, worked with, still bring Michael Stipe onstage every once in a while.

Radiohead - Thom Yorke: "I’ve ripped them off left, right and centre for years and years and years and years."

The article is about compiling and running a program inside the emulator. When the unexpected behavior occurred, the author assumed it was a bug in the emulator.

The most common scams around home buying are wire fraud - contact the buyer pretending to be the title company and steal their money. The data in a mortgage is exactly what you need to enable these scams and you're getting people to hand it to you and at the same time tell you they are about to wire money.

There’s someone on Reddit who is building some real Jonathan modules:

Yep, it has the telltale MZ header at the top. Either a DOS or windows executable. [1]

The pdf appears to be a readable formatted version, to get the actual executable you’ll need the raw text sans newlines (as described in the paper)

It reminds me of this book:

It's been that way since 2005. It's pretty much indistinguishable from TSA other than the badges on the uniforms.

That's 0-100kph (0-62mph).

There’s an awesome write up of some of the tools written specifically for this demo.

This book was so bad it inspired a new word:

Worldcom happened within 6 months of Enron and it was at least as serious.

That's great to see. Thanks for sharing! It's been almost 20 years since I read the first part.

There's a great paper from 2004 about reverse engineering the CMS of the Crusoe:

To my knowledge the foreshadowed followup was never released.

It was much talked about on slashdot when Walmart started selling a PC with Lindows pre-installed.

This is a cool stack, thank you. It’s not the one I remember, but I’m enjoying it nonetheless.

I had a HyperCard stack of paper airplane designs that I must have printed hundreds of times. A cursory search didn’t turn it up and I have no idea where it came from. Maybe it’s lost to time.

Decriminalization and legalization are different things.

Decriminalization is removing criminal penalties - there may still be fines or other non criminal penalties.

The F1 engines are sealed by the FIA. They are not rebuilding them and doing so would result in disqualification.
