“The whole prison would sing for two or three days before the hanging, to ease the terror of the victims
[...]
‘Senzeni-na? Senzeni-na? What have we done? What have we done?’ It was the most beautiful music on earth, sung in a vile place.”

Re: phones before they became attention sucking rectangles
I had one that had infrared connection so you could use it as a remote or, as we did, use it to send mp3 files very slowly. We would place our phones so their ir sensors aligned and carry on with life as an mp3 made its way across the void

Fires have been raging in Pearly Beach and Stanford. Started on the 4th of Jan and as of this evening still visible from Hermanus
A separate fire broke out on the mountain in Hermanus on the 10th and I saw an Oryx helicopter dumping water which was a new experience

"my favourite online metronome has monetized"
"my favourite online metronome has monetized"
My favorite online metronome has monetized and while I understand that one cannot expect useful resources to be free, $3 a week seems insane.
And the new free 'default' setting is different to the default of the previous free version I've been using so I can't even use the free default anymore.

"Math is one of the few areas where truth can be automated"
You may not know this, but a cool thing for math AI is that there are now logic software systems where you formalize a proof and it tells you if the proof works. The downside is it's laborious, but the upside is automatic verification. Math is one of the few areas were truth can be automated.

If you hit a neutron star with a hammer it would ring like a bell
resting on a neutron star... the gravity pulls down like a weighted blanket, the surface is warm and the little millimetre-scale deviations are fun to run your fingers across, the view above is a hypnotising cascade of blueshifted starlight rushing overhead
