And WTBS the radio station was also purchased by Ted Turner!

It was originally "Tech Broadcasting Service" and run by an MIT student group.

For the $50k purchase, the newly-named WMBR purchased a new transmitter.

There’s something lovely about this.

To my eye, it is like the patina that your favorite tools get.

I’m looking at you, 40 year old tape measure.

I’ve noticed that this only occurs when I use a two-prong adapter for the power brick.

If I use the 3-prong, which is usually tied to a long cable, I don’t feel the buzz.

I assumed that the additional grounding helped.

> Branding is centrifugal; design is centripetal

So they’re the same thing but from two frames of reference?

I’m not sure this metaphor holds.

This is lovely! Can I suggest make sure that the board is solveable?

Can I suggest putting a strand of Christmas lights inside the completed structure? They get a little diffused and look really cool.

For bonus points, get pics of your kids' faces lit by only that light.

Boom: next year's card.

> Yes, AI assistants can hallucinate and give you garbage. So I didn’t rely on it. I spot checked by looking up its big findings myself and found it was right.

Hard disagree.

At least in my domains, the "battle-tested" UX is a direct replication of underlying data structures and database tables.

What chat gives you access to is a non-structured input that a clever coder can then sufficiently structure to create a vector database query.

Natural language turns out to be far more flexible and nuanced interface than walls of checkboxes.

This reminds me of the (excellent!) book by Jamie Buck: https://pragprog.com/titles/jbmaze/mazes-for-programmers/

They write a maze algo in any new language they learn just to learn bits of the language.
