No doubt there are fish hooks in his perspective too, but I found Stephen Wolfram's description of the potential synergies between ChatGPT and Wolfram|Alpha illuminating.

He highlights the inadequacies of ChatGPT but also (primarily) the ongoing value of human-curated, structured, data.

This website provides the full back archive of BYTE magazine, all 23 years of it from 1975 to to 1998. It's a treasure trove of vintage tech and nostalgia, not even Archive.org carries all the issues.

The site actually focuses on old Apple magazines, but has also PC magazines and other resources on the history of microcomputing.

Here's my contribution to #receptiogate. I am nearly a 100% sure that I have been at their stated address, 20-22 Wenlock Road, London, a few years ago to attend a chocolate-making workshop. It was a lot of fun. No manuscripts involved though.

#emacs Book mode is an attempt at offering an interface for reading org-mode files with a clean layout. It is based on the use of large margins, headline and mode-line, with leading stars and bullets in the left margin using right alignment and different symbols. All decorations are part of the header-line (including upper left colored part and right upper glyph) and messages are displayed in the mode-line. Code at https://github.com/rougier/book-mode
