I know there were questions about my thoughts on AI. I think time-travelling back to the future is more interesting though. I wasn’t around, but it’s deja vu.

Accessible programming is the theme but I wonder. I’ve met many people who can’t read (no joke).

Maybe the next “big social transistor” scales to the nano (video) message (nm) or pico (from micro).

“Titles and thumbnails” are exoteric. Who knows, perhaps “natural language programming” becomes the most esoteric of them all.

I read about the history and legacy of the Delta Clipper recently. It’s incredible how notability and the right people propels niche technology into popular culture. It “Fulton follies” onto the mainstream and amasses social proof.

There’s an artful wisdom gained from age, maybe. I’m still young though so let’s say; personal experience. It’s understanding that sometimes you don’t have to play the game.

Knowing my luck, I’d have light expertise on Intel CPUs right about now if I still had interest in playing games. I heard somewhere once that processor imperfections influence the numbering of its variants (i3, i5, i7). If so, then the wonders of economies of scale?

I sometimes forget that KiB style units are confusing. The kB / KB is practically ambiguous. Kibi is “2 to the 10” or 1024 (binary), but…

1 kB ≈ 1 KB ≈ 1 KiB ≈ 1000 B ≈ 1024 B? Read my mind?

The SI metric system is still a great feat though and unifies primary dimensions (length) on equivalent units (meters). Instead of hands, inches, feet, chains, furlongs, barleycorns, rods, and links — it’s just meters prefixed arbitrarily. Time’s probably messed up though.

True story: I saw a ‘6 soft white rolls’ bread package morph into “6 50 foot white rolls” because of metric illness.
