Highly recommend the Wired story about Lee: https://www.wired.com/story/lee-holloway-devastating-decline...

Long but totally heartbreaking.

Hmm, the Wired link is not behind a paywall.

Repeating myself here but anyone who has not yet watched the whole 2024 series of Prof. Sapolsky "Human Behavioural Biology" lectures series... really should.

seconding the wired piece — worth noting he's not dead, that's the awful part. FTD, in a care facility, personality gone years before the body.

I can't read this. The writing style is awful. Could be machine translated or just AI filling in from notes.

It's machine translated. You get the original Japanese if you remove the query param: https://note.com/masakazu_urabe/n/n7815f5b64fab

had no idea anycast at cloudflare traced back to him. does part 2 get into what happened after

Anycast is hardly unique to Cloudflare. It's been around since the late 80s (before BGP), and has been used commercially for much longer than Cloudflare has existed. In fact, the root nameservers have done anycast for about 25 years or so and they're much more critical infrastructure.

What is with the bold sections? Is this just AI or are you trying to make sure I didn’t fall asleep reading the bland plaintext?

Stylistic choice / tradition; it's a (machine?) translated version of a Japanese text.

American comics have bolded words too.

They don't. Note is a blogging platform like Medium, but more popular in Japan.
