I found a hidden name in the Intel 8088 processor. The 8088 was a derivative of the 8086 processor introduced in 1979 and best known as the processor in the IBM PC. I dissolved the chip's metal layer and found "רפי", the name in Hebrew of Rafi Retter, the chip's engineer.

Thinking, as I often do, about Stephen Hawking's voice, which began as a hardware synthesizer card connected to an Apple II and ended up as a software emulated version of that same card because he rebuffed all well-intentioned upgrades for 30 years because *it was his voice*.

Exclusive: The Silicon Valley quest to preserve Stephen Hawking’s voice

Eric Dorsey, a 62-year-old engineer in Palo Alto, was watching TV Tuesday night when he started getting texts that Stephen Hawking had died. He turned on the news and saw clips of the famed physicist speaking in his iconic android voice — the voice that Dorsey had spent so much time as a young man helping to create, and then, much later, to save from destruction. Dorsey and Hawking had first met nearly 30 years earlier to the day. In March 1988, Hawking was visiting UC Berkeley during a three-week lecture tour. At 46, Hawking was already famous for his discoveries about quantum physics and black holes, but not as famous as he was about to be.

"Freedom to tweet and write comes with responsibilities," she said. "Unfortunately, that's not something that everyone abides by. There is no lack of clickbaits and messages designed to get attention. Everyone can create sensational stories and headlines with or without merit, and we've all become trigger happy..."

Twitter helped kill Silicon Valley Bank. Are other banks at risk?

An academic paper establishes a link between tweets about withdrawing money and the bank's collapse.
