Friday Links!

A busy, busy week, and one even busier following.

A terrific read about a private detective with a complicated life: The Talented Mr. Bruseaux

This is encouraging, pending independent verification: Google says it dropped the energy cost of AI queries by 33x in one year

A very fun read: 99 Problems: The Ice Cream Truck’s Surprising History

A fascinating read: For some people, music doesn’t connect with any of the brain’s reward circuits

Excellent: Take away our language and we will forget who we are: Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o and the language of conquest.

Ha, what a surprise: College student’s “time travel” AI experiment accidentally outputs real 1834 history

From Wally, and this trend has made me incredibly sad (but what haven't they taken over, really?): Space Racism: How the Right Captured Science Fiction. This is awful: The Fantagraphics “We’ve Been Robbed” Sale. I can't imagine why a 25% tax on books would cause a "reading crisis" /s:Denmark scraps book tax to fight 'reading crisis'
