“AN WANG PERSONIFICATION OF THE AMERICAN DREAM”
An Wang, Narrated by Representative Lori Trahan
David BolesArm in Arm with Chance
A misdated photograph, two of the largest minds of the last century, and the partnership physics never got. The photograph travels well. A man and a woman walk the edge of a lake, both buttoned into heavy coats against a cold the season should not have brought. He wears the famous hair, gray now at the temples, the drooping mustache, the look of someone who long ago stopped negotiating with his tailor. She is smaller and upright, her face composed into the expression of a person who has weighed sorrow by the gram. Their arms are linked. The internet, which prefers its history pre-chewed, captions the image with confident precision: Albert Einstein and Marie Curie, Saranac Lake, New York, 1929. Nearly every word of that caption is wrong. […]

TKSST • seethis.tv 🌈🪐✨💁🏻♀️ TIL: Long before flying his kite, #BenjaminFranklin was experimenting with materials to stop counterfeiters from faking #colonial paper #money. 💵
Centuries later, scientists at #NotreDame used advanced microscopes to analyze hundreds of surviving bills and found Franklin was using graphite-based ink instead of common soot ink, and embedding tiny mica particles into the #paper that shimmered when tilted. He even printed leaf vein patterns as unique anti-counterfeiting marks. 🔎

The Glass People: The Materials of Madness, from the Glass King to the Simulation
More than six hundred years ago, the King of France stopped letting anyone touch him. Charles VI had iron rods sewn into his clothing and moved through his palace with the stiff care of a man carrying something breakable, because he believed he was carrying something breakable. He believed it was himself. The chronicles of his reign record that the king became convinced his body had turned to glass, and that a careless embrace or an ordinary stumble would shatter him to pieces on the stone floor. […]

N-gated Hacker NewsOh look, another #groundbreaking #invention that promises to rescue us from the existential dread of using #Git #worktrees. 🎉 Apparently, "Rift" is here to save the day with a sprinkle of #AI #magic, because, you know, regular Git wasn't complicated enough. 🙄 Meanwhile, I'll be over here still trying to figure out what a "worktree" is. 🚀
