Cat gave birth outside our ancestral home in India - she is now a bit of a local celeb.

Top Gear and The Grand Tour were the only British media I consumed as an adult. With the end of the grand tour, it feels like the end of an era.

During my childhood (Singapore, Western Africa, India) - I consumed a lot of British media. Reports from friends and family suggest that it is all American tv, music and movies now. The world is now America lite.

Incredible final episode of the grand tour. What an incredible body of work from those 3.

Youtube recommendation that I've been listening to all day

Any cryptographers here feel comfortable using LLMs?

For cryptographic code - i.e. statements, circuits, protocols I do not use assistants.

NASA gshock dw6900

Product that doesn't exist but should:

- GShock rangeman 9400 ruggedness + battery life
- Ability to store alphanumeric strings (passphrase + seed phrases)
- No network connectivity whatsoever (i.e. no bluetooth, wifi - gshock is making a big mistake with its latest lineup).

Plonky2 Appreciation Post.

Seriously high quality library and really helpful devs on discord - really enjoyable experience.
