Friday assorted links
1. The Wandering Minstrel (Irish song).
2. My 2008 post on Sarah Palin. A bit too much ahead of its time, but directionally correct.
3. AI models as historians. And how to have a career after o3 drops. And low-hanging fruit in inference-time scaling.
4. Is there a murder gang of Sith vegans? Are they a rationalist death cult?
6. The fastest-selling adult novel in the last twenty years? (NYT)
