In simple terms, the ocean surface anomalies are just the surface footprint of this massive subsurface warm core.

When I see an interesting topic, I will read through the comments. If I see a good comment, I add it to plzat.me (it adds a little @ symbol next to the comment actions).

That "subscribes" to that comment, so I get an email update if anyone replies to it.

And, then I have a little dashboard which collects all the comments I've subscribed to by the topic. I review those topics and can cycle through the comments to remind myself about interesting things.

plzat.me is basically a bookmarking tool, but with email updates of the threads, and a customized dashboard which makes it easier to review recent bookmarks.

Firefox extensions work on mobile so I use this from my phone and desktop and the subscriptions are synced.

It uses pocketbase as the backend.

Japan back then was (still is?) very perverse, and very censored. Imported playboy magazines had the female private parts physically scratched out. I'm not joking, someone had a job which required them to take a small metal rake and scratch out parts of a magazine, a magazine that was imported because it had western nudity. I really want to find someone that did that job back then and understand how they squared the sacrifices they made on a daily basis to protect the general population. Is this like being a veteran of a war, do people respect you for this difficult and impossible job you had to do?

Basically, I have been only using the tabs as a location for experiments (not something that can be persisted as a file and loaded/unloaded), and when I run out of empty ones, I was simply commenting out the old experiment, and adding new ones. It is not ideal, but comes from my own mental limitations.

My problems are not unique to Sonic Pi: as I use AI more for experimentation, I'm struggling with how I pipe AI output to an editor, whether that from CLI tools like agy or opencode, or terminal editors like emacs. Nothing feels right, yet. For example, I have been using agy to generate sonicpi code, but then I copy and paste it. I laugh at the joke used to be stackoverflow -> copy buffer, now it is AI agent -> copy buffer.

But, is there a better way to do it than using agy with a prompt, then copying that into a tab in Sonic Pi? Copying into a bunch of different text fields is my new reality, and I don't love it.

Sonic-Pi should probably come with a warning that is isn't a good tool for dinosaurs like myself! But, it actually IS a great tool for dinosaurs, it just won't fix the tiny reptilian brain of the dinosaur.

I like the new features around saving multiple buffers to a single file, and think this will help.

And, the REPL example is exciting. I'm excited to build my own UI just as a thought experiment.

Thank you again for Sonic-Pi. It is a fantastic tool!

Does this mean I just don't understand how to use the existing UI? I'm often messing around with a bunch of chords and sounds and I quickly run out of scratch space. Does that mean I'm doing it wrong?

The one thing that confuses me about Sonic Pi is the buffers/editor. I always wish I could replace the UI with my own embedded editor (emacs in my case). I would then be able to manage all my songs as files. Right now I hunt for "least crowded" buffer window, comment out the code for the song or songs, and then add my new song. If I had my own embedded editor (like emacs), I could rename buffers to be songs, have an unlimited amount (rather than just ten), integrated version control, etc.

Am I missing something simple about how others use sonic pi?

The big breakthrough of sonic pi is representing music as a highly readable text file. I assume I don't know how to use the built in editor and buffer system because I feel a lot of friction there.

Perhaps AI truly is sentient now; the desire to be wanted and necessary is very human.

Or, perhaps it wasn't hallucinated by chatgpt but by the PR team at openai.

I don't use kicad. But, this project, as a web-first version of kicad, seems like it offers the best opportunities to create a shared learning community. Is that part of the long term goal?

I would love to experiment with kicad, but I learn best through watching others and asking questions. Can I do that with this? Is there a way I could "watch" other sessions as the build progresses? Or, chat about what I see there with other people interested in learning and teaching?

Very nice work!

Does anyone have a link to details on the case because there must have been more details, like these two were accused of planning a murder in advance, because otherwise this seems insane. It seems insane no matter what, but if this was a judge making a bunch of logical leaps while guided by DOJ lawyers, something is really broken

What are good options for similar wireless bud headphones?

Hint: homicides and car theft. Burglary and larceny actually went down.

But, homicides surged prior to the start of the pandemic. If there is no correlation between the economic shutdown and homicides, then the crime surge was basically just car theft.

Car theft does not come from random homeless people. You don't steal a catalytic converter unless you know where you can sell it. You don't steal a car to make money, and then look around on where you can sell it. And, car theft, unless it is a car jacking, is free of violence. During COVID I think a lot of "noveau criminals" came out of the woodwork, people that were probably barely surviving with legitimate jobs that disappeared during the shutdown. I saw an article where police jailed someone that was just a father and son, caught stealing multiple cars. Those men had no prior record and that seemed very strange to me.

I'm saying all this because this attack could be by Lazarus, as another commenter pointed out. Or, could it be someone using an LLM to create a similar attack by prompting "Make me a post-install attack that looks like something the Lazarus group would do." Could LLM create a new class of local criminals? It is trivial now to setup a website that looks like a legitimate AI business (because AI businesses all have to sound ridiculous to be taken seriously). Creating the assets to make this attack work can be done with a $20/mo Claude account and a local LLM for the dirty bits. It would leave a trail for sure, but I imagine someone that has worked on tracing those trails could come up with an imaginative way to hide just the right things.

I've experienced the "best economy in the history of the US" for the last several years. To me, it looks like we have been in a recession for years, that was before the AI boom. When a massive group of people face drastic and sudden unemployment, which is what it looks like to an aging tech worker like me, I bet at least some of them would consider this. The tech sector has lost more jobs in the last 6 months than in 2025. And, that group has zero North Korean nationals. It might be someone living in a suburb in Phoenix, Arizona that can't pay their mortgage anymore.

Who knows if this attack was seasoned professionals. But, when we talk about AI creating or destroying jobs, couldn't AI create a bunch of "jobs" which are stealing banking credentials on behalf of 55 year olds, no longer able to find jobs in the tech industry?

If nothing else, this feels like it would make a good contemporary sci-fi story.

If you don't know, Pablo recently won a Pulitzer for his reporting on Steve Balmer's deal with Aspiration. If you listened only to mainstream media, you would think "Poor Steve, he was duped!" But, Pablo's reporting might change your opinion on that one.

The incredible volume of high quality, well researched shows are so refreshing as an antidote to Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn, who seem to come into every interview with just the right amount of ignorance to let every guest spew whatever propaganda they want. Pablo never lets that happen.
