Read an interview today with a music producer who said "Apologies for all this nerdy detail but [one of the most fascinating accounts of how a record was put together I've ever read]"
Never apologise for going into nerdy detail. The ones who DON'T go into nerdy detail should apologise.

ELIZA was one of the most important early demonstrations of natural language processing... but most of us can't scrounge together a IBM 7094 on short notice. Luckily, N. Landsteiner has written an implementation in Javascript that still runs today.

O cenário de um filme é mais do que só um lugar onde se passa a história. Ele pode sozinho dizer mais do que muitos diálogos. O fio dessa semana é sobre elas, a locação e a direção de arte 👇🧶

Brazil almost had the world's first official licensed Mac, but the Brasilian government balked. Then the government decided to keep going anyways, and the devs had to make a "Mac" with some of the hardware and none of the software. This is the story of the Unitron Mac 512.

If you solder a ~10cm long "antenna" wire to a laptop's DRAM data bus, it makes it extra sensitive to electromagnetic interference.
So much so that clicking a piezo-electric arc lighter nearby can induce bit-flips.
I wrote an exploit to turn those bitflips into a shell:
