Strongly recommend the Centre for Computing History in Cambridge (UK). Unlike the CHM, which should stand for Case History Museum, it has the spectacular advantage of having the computers actually switched on. I got to use a Lisa!

This is a fantastic book ! 👇🏼

On the Silver Globe (1988) es una película de ciencia ficción polaca, considerada una de las obras más ambiciosas, extrañas y visualmente impactantes del cine europeo. Contiene material de pesadilla suficiente para que no la olvides.

10 books recommend by Vinod Khosla: 1) From Bacteria to Bach and Back by Daniel Dennett "Another of my favorites this year. Long but worth every page."

Hoy querria recomendar este libro de Polya el cual es un clasico en la enseñanza de la matematica debido a justamente mostrar como es la resolucion de ploblemas en matematicas pero que aun asi no se limita a eso sino que tambien es una exposicion profunda de la heuristica.

Florence was the original skunkworks: Botticelli, Lippi, Leonardo, Ghirlandaio, Donatello, Verrocchio, Perugino, Raphael. All products of the same 2.4-square-mile lab. In the 1470s Florence had 21 guilds regulating quality, controlling market entry, and running formal apprenticeship pipelines. Kids started at age 12, grinding pigments imported from Afghanistan, preparing wooden panels, and casting bronze. Verrocchio's workshop doubled as goldsmith, sculptor's studio, and engineering lab. This system produced polymaths like Michelangelo, who painted the Sistine ceiling, sculpted the David, and designed the dome of St. Peter's. Florence housed the largest bank in Europe: Banco dei Medici. It funded the masters, but more importantly? It funded the infrastructure that produced them. 40,000 people, 54 stone-carving studios, 84 woodcarving shops, and 270 wool mills behind the same city walls. A small genius factory you could walk end to end in under 20 minutes. How will we build this again?

I remember the night before he passed, I was working late and drained and left work about 9 PM. The next morning I was coming in around 8:30 AM. Weather was dreary. I felt something was wrong. Air was weird. I was walking up to the buildings and I felt something was wrong. Didn’t know what it was, but I knew something was wrong. I was heartbroken when I heard. I’m fortunate to be able to be part of his memorial. Some people are just irreplaceable.

Watching The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) reminds me of this brilliant John Wayne anecdote. After he delivered “Truly this man was the Son of God,” the director asked him to say it with more awe. So Wayne repeated it as, “Aw, truly this man was the Son of God.” 🤣😂

Lock in, we’re Moonbound. Artemis II astronauts are more than halfway to their destination, and preparations for lunar flyby are underway. During their trip around the far side of the Moon, they will capture imagery to share with scientists (and you, too!).

Did a little spring cleaning and found some old Apple gear…

Qué divertido es Borges. En una entrevista, hablando sobre la poesía española, Garcilaso y la estructura de la frase latina, cuenta esto: «Cuando estuve en Colombia, un señor que era poeta para elogiarme me dijo: “Qué bien se lo ve, señor Borges, redondo y colorado como un queso”. Terrible pasión por la metáfora, ¿no? Y una influencia de la métrica de Garcilaso: “Corrientes aguas puras cristalinas” “Redondo y colorado como un queso”». 😂

Voy en el capítulo de la creación de los juegos de Zelda (justo ahora en Majora's Mask) Este libro me tiene muy enganchado, pero sobretodo me hace pensar de lo importante de la creatividad y los hobbies para poder tener inspiración e ideas

Ayer, Viernes Santo, murió Vittorio Messori, un periodista al que debemos muchísimas cosas en la Iglesia católica... Pero, especialmente, destacaría su entrevista con Joseph Ratzinger del año 1984, publicada con el título de INFORME SOBRE LA FE. Un libro que he subrayado y releído muchas veces, y que me ha ayudado enormemente a comprender la crisis postconciliar y a navegar en medio de aguas turbulentas. Hoy en día está accesible en la red: mercaba.org/ARTICULOS/I/in… ¡Descanse en paz!

Imagine if Steve Jobs were building AI? The Steve Job that has the ability to see the SaaS model, the rent model, the OS model and the App model ended. We know what he would have done by what he had done. He would have moved on from the failed models and built new ones.

En la Lituania de la era soviética, esta imprenta clandestina en Kaunas imprimió literatura prohibida y publicaciones clandestinas para preservar la identidad lituana a pesar del riesgo de prisión y exilio.
