I have a UW (user wave) version. It doesn't look like they implemented some of the more interesting parts of the MD. I wonder if this was a firmware R/E effort? I don't see any details on what's behind this and I can't read the non-english parts of the app. Anyone have more details?

Good to know I'll still have the reassurance of a 9:30 standup even though AI is reading my thoughts.

The MIDI sequencer that launched a thousand 90s EDM careers. Unique workflow that I wanted to preserve so I reversed it and built a simulator with Claude.

I always wanted to pipe `ps -a` to something interactive using vim key bindings to select the process to kill. Maybe now someone in the comments will tell me how to do it with xargs and a complicated vim script instead of vibe coding my own.

The authors mention the possibility of holographic curing of multiple simultaneous layers. That seems significant although they haven't demonstrated it here.

Since I moved to California I no longer wear socks at all. I find that there is little need given the climate. Maybe this is the real reason for the miracle of Silicon Valley?

You can prefix your command with pasuspender to temporarily disable pulseaudio. This is usually what I do. It's kind of inconvenient and half the time I forget to do it, so sometimes I just write a little launcher script that includes it.

To get true understanding of what you're working with you need to be able to trash the configuration of your gear at will. I learned a lot buying up some big old Cisco Catalysts and EMC Clariion SAN boxes back when I was doing data center work. Later on though, when I was in charge of buying new stuff I'd rack the stuff up first and go crazy with it before it was in production. Either way works. I don't miss having those fans running in my house though.
