Lawrence Lepard, "fix the money, fix the world"
Paulson doing this at this moment is a huge clue. Think about it. He has been silent for years. Now he comes out and foams the runway for some grand plan to do YCC. Coincidence? I don't think so, this cements my belief that they are cooking up a Big Print plan. Bessent and Warsh probably put him up to this. Fascinating stuff. A major trial balloon. @SimonDixonTwitt @LukeGromen

Wow. A former US Treasury Secretary suggested US authorities prepare a back-up plan in case of a collapse in demand for Treasuries. This is the same guy who served during the Great Financial Crisis. Nothing to see here...

Ken also ported a subset of Unix that ran on top of DOS, called it The Thompson Toolkit. Funny story, I was building a DOS-based scs that ran on top of Ken’s port. Had a question about it, found a phone number for Ken, called it and ended up having a nice conversation with his wife. Did get the question answered too!

No disrespect to Linus Torvalds, But Ken Thompson might be the biggest geek who ever lived. 🫡 And almost nobody knows his name. At 28, he created Unix. > The OS that inspired every modern operating system on the planet. At 66, the age when most engineers retire, he co-created Go. > A language millions of developers love, and used to build most of modern Devops tools like Kubernetes, Terraform, Prometheus, Grafana, etc. But that is still not the full story. - Dennis Ritchie built on Thompson’s B to create C. - Linus built Linux inspired by Thompson’s Unix. - He co-invented UTF-8, the encoding behind every website you visit. - He built grep, a tool developers still use daily in 2024. The internet you are scrolling right now exists because of him. And he did everything without Claude, cursor, ChatGPT. Ken Thompson. Remember the name.

USAF Pilot Training is a slog. One year of waking at o’dark thirty. Flying 2-3 times a day and being evaluated. “Finals” week every week. And you lose half of your friends to washouts. It’s challenging. One morning, I was the first aircraft to takeoff on a solo in the T-38. I trained at Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi. At 6 AM, I was #1 for takeoff. I lowered my canopy and locked it. I plugged in my Walkman and played “Sailing” by Christopher Cross. It was a gorgeous morning. Low clouds were hugging the glens and the rivers. Sun was coming up. Gorgeous. I took off and climbed out. I looked down on the houses and farms thinking “here I am.” At about 1000’, I snapped off a quick aileron roll. Why? Because I could.😎

@SemiAnalysis_ We almost missed our flight out of SYR on the day the deal was announced as all the top politicians flew in for the announcement and dog and pony show. President Biden, Senators Schumer and Gillibrand, Gov Hochul, they all wanted to get in on it that day. That was October 2022

"Johnny Bench had tremendous durability, never got uptight and had a great sense of humor. At an All-Star game, I was on the mound and Frank Howard came to bat, all six foot seven inches and 255 lbs. of him. Frank was a terrifying sight at the plate, hitting wicked line drives down the third base line. As I stood on the mound to face him, I noticed my third baseman, Tony Perez, had cautiously backed up into short left field. So had the shortstop. I thought to myself, 'What am I supposed to do, standing just 60 feet away? I can't move back into a safe area!' I knew I'd have to try and throw him fastballs inside or he might kill somebody, probably me, with a liner. I looked at Johnny Bench, my catcher, for a sign. I saw three fingers for a slow change-up. Couldn't believe it. I looked again, and there were the three fingers. I looked up through his mask and saw him laughing at me. So I started laughing, too. Right there on the mound at the middle of an All-Star game!" Tom Seaver

October 25, 1986 ⚾️ "Little roller up along first..." NBC's Vin Scully calls the dramatic, unforgettable conclusion of Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. The #Mets' Ray Knight scores on Mookie Wilson's roller that slips under the glove of Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner.
