This was written by Fable 5 over the course of a day in summer 2026 because I wanted more Firefall books to read. I'm hoping Peter Watts can see the irony of a machine of indefinable selfhood writing a Firefall story. The Afterword by

I can say from direct experience doing research with hollow-core fibres that they are not easy to splice either to each other or to standard fibre. Imagine trying to use heat to melt together a pipe and a solid cylinder without creating a m

I must be missing something. This is recommending folders are numbered. Is that it? Is this a "system" now? I think that may have been used previously - for example by humanity for the last 5,000 years or so.

"the BIPM collects time measurements from national timing laboratories around the world" I'm really interested in how this is done with multiple clocks over a distance. Can anyone explain? It feels like it would be very diffi

It's mad that this even needs said. A company's aim should be to be sustainable and profitable, not to be a receptacle for capital. Some companies need external capital to get to that point, particularly hardware or those operatin

As another commenter says, it's actually easier the more generators you have because the rotational inertia of all the spinning masses is larger. This (and the storage problem) is one of the reasons that wind and solar destabalise grid

Thanks for the post. On reading it I couldn't help but wonder if burnout might follow you to running your own company. From personal experience, it can be intensely bad for mental health after the initial excitement turns into endless
