restoration, salinity, and software addiction

Shiva burned me to nothing for one poorly timed arrow.

1. Amazon buys rare books, scans them for AI training, then destroys them
2. Restoring a 1984 Mac 128K for daily office use — the hidden contradiction
3. The South Atlantic is getting saltier — and it threatens AMOC stability
4. Terence Tao and a Fields Medal theorem — born at a preschool dropoff
5. Why do liberals have fewer children than conservatives?
6. 80% of developers call AI coding addictive — not actually helpful
