I was reminded of this book today when I read some comments here about the popularity of “sailing log” manuscripts.

This one is written by Paul Lutus, of Apple Writer fame.

Your color correction is incredible - the frames you selected look much better than the original video.

The matrix of vehicles is my favorite part. If you drive down these same streets today it's a sea of black, white and grey.

You'll be happy to know that Les Girls is still there today, advertising burlesque, go go dancers and "full nude". They finally replaced the sign earlier this year, but it still looks very much the same.

Les Girls is the feature of a fascinating podcast, too: https://www.kpbs.org/podcasts/stripper-energy

The introductory blog post has a lot more information

and the model card

The broader announcement of 7 MAI models seems to be where the 5B active in the title comes from

Agreed. Farmer's O for the P (provide a preferential option for the poor in health care) was clearly central to his life. I think about it often.

On top of that he was incredibly competent at navigating the combination of hostile bureaucracy, apathy, and disorganization. It's incredible what he and PIH accomplished.

The Soul of a New Machine really grabbed me in college. Tracy Kidder wrote with a unique style that (to me) really drives the narrative forward while making you stop and consider the forces behind the story he's telling. The characters he writes about are real people and they seem like it.

Moutains Beyond Mountains[1], another book by Kidder, is even more compelling to me. It's a fascinating story of Paul Farmer, who dedicated his life to fighting infectious disease, especially in Haiti.

Show HN: Graph:Easy ported to TypeScript with GPT-5.2

AntiRush — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 02:21:22 +0000

Over Christmas, I read a blog post here about attempting to port Graph::Easy (a very cool Perl module) to TypeScript using LLMs:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46318080

The author didn’t get the results they wanted, but I was nerd-sniped into giving it a try with some different tools.

The link is a web page where you can enter Graph::Easy graph descriptions to generate graphs in the various supported formats. It runs both the TypeScript and the Perl versions and compares the results.

The code is available: https://github.com/fairfieldt/graph-easy-ts/

I also wrote a longer post about the process: https://tomisin.space/projects/graph-easy-ts/
