Is that you Molesworth???

Carry on, old boy.

And still fatal

In this case it was a bicycle and not an ebike. That said, anecdotally, many ebikes I see regularly travel faster than the people powered versions


The Amanda solution is the intuitively obvious to even the casual reader. The Einstein solution is quite succinct but takes years to understand all the nuance in the one liner. :-)

I appreciate both for different reasons.


I kinda see the original proposition as similar to a RGB framework. The same way we mix RGB to have a whole spectrum of colors, I assume we can mix Mort, Einstein and Elvis to get whole spectrums of engineers profiles.

There will be people looking at pure Green and pure Blue and ask for an Emerald color to get RGBE instead, but that's not how the RGB framework works. And I can't get rid of the feeling that Amanda is that Emerald color people are clamoring for.

I also kinda get why Microsoft got rid of the system for something more abstract.


Pretty much bang on. I do have to remind myself that discipline in commit messages helps future me.


Claude Code produces pretty good commit messages, IMO. Just tell it: "commit".


Except it likes to put itself as the co-author in every commit message.

Even asking it repeatedly and putting not to do so in Claude.md has no effect. So I have to keep deleting that manually :)


Add "includeCoAuthoredBy": "false" to your settings file: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/settings


Cool thanks!! This has been bugging me for a while..


exactly. I tell it to commit roughly every 3-4 minutes :) small incremental changes, commit, next


Admittedly only gave a quick skim but essentially looks like Deutsch-Schorr-Waite.


Thanks for the chuckle - you know there's more than one marketing guy out there who will say in all seriousness "I can do that for you" :-)


I checked in with Scribble as he did the typesetting. He apologizes for the error but says working without opposable thumbs makes the work more challenging.


I have some ethical concerns here. footnote 6 clearly states that Scribble did not do enough work to merit coauthor credit, but if he was one of the primary researches for section 5 of the paper and was responsible for typesetting the entire paper, denying such a good boy sufficient credit for his work is a serious breach of scientific standards.


Not to be confused with the protocol :-)

There was Coyote Linux which may have been a fork: https://www.coyotelinux.com/ I ran it on an old Pentium with a cheap dual port 10Mb NIC off eBay.


Say it aint so. I learned all about lasers from Britney.

Great stuff! I always enjoy seeing websites from the 90s still being served to the public – even if they haven’t been updated in decades. Hedy Lamarr’s story was very interesting: https://britneyspears.ac/physics/intro/hedy.htm
