At this juncture I must heartily recommend the very silly and good natured anime/manga Thermae Romae [1][2]. It's about a Roman bath architect who secretly discovers a way to time travel to modern Japanese baths to steal ideas (th

Thought of exactly the same exhibit -- love that thing! Worth a stop into NYHS to play with it. I immediately wanted to make one and I'm psyched to see on HN. Evidently it originally had buttons to control the charge, then curators upg

I didn't indulge in going too deep, but another article from the same series on The Drive explores China's filing of similar patents, imagining it could be a form of (low effort?) counter-propaganda. https://www.thedriv
