TIL that William Herschel, the ICS officer who first introduced fingerprinting as a formal contract identification method in Calcutta 1858 was the grandson of the William Herschel who discovered Uranus in 1781. The interesting thing was that somebody had to figure out that fingerprints are not just unique but stable over time, required for use in long-term contracts. Uniqueness alone was known since antiquity in China and use for authentication seems to date back to like 200BC, but the long-term stability seems to me to be the key insight since it’s not obvious, given how much we change physically over a lifetime https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerprint#History Also, not many people know this but the modern fingerprint classification system used in criminal detection was initially developed in Calcutta. This should be considered one of the founding events of modern cryptography. The og hash function. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Classification_System

Like desi egg frittata muffins. Reminds me of Filipino dish Puto, made with fermented rice dough and eggs, it's a little sweet, served with a salty cheese. 🤌

What's the first fiction you encountered that had some kind of AI in it? I think mine was Short Circuit (1986 film), which I just learnt was directed by the War Games guy.

Meerkat was mind-blowing. First day on, someone was taking a ride on an open tour bus in NYC, another was at the back of a country music concert, another smoking a joint on a hike. Felt like you were there with them.

S2 was not bad, felt a lot less cyberpunk lone wolf detective solving a murder and a lot more like starwars bigger planet-scale political story, which wasn't as satisfying. Also felt like anime-style storytelling (which is there in S1 too), not surprising that they made an anime movie too.
