I found one in a pound shop which had ink burst all over it, and the ink had eaten the tin plating away, revealing the SI body. I bought it for shits and giggles but it was damaged beyond repair and I had to dispose of it.

I am not sure of the specifics, but people report gold nibs to be smoother than steel-iridium alloys. There are also titanium nibs, but those are rarer in my experience.

EDIT: oops.
A common myth is that "gold nibs write smoother than steel." In reality, the tipping material (usually an iridium alloy ball or wedge) and how it’s ground and polished determine smoothness. Both gold and steel nibs use similar hard tipping metals, so the actual contact point on the paper is virtually the same.
Do note that it's not necessary to make all the nib out of gold if you don't want flex; Lamy for example offers gold nibs, but they only cover the "relevant part" (which is the ball and the space near the tines)

Laurent Bloch@lbloch@social.sciences.re (2026-10-02 03:06:52) Fabrice Bellard

A French engineer who lives quietly in Paris has spent 30 years writing software that the entire internet now runs on without knowing his name.

He wrote the code that streams every YouTube video, every Netflix show, every TikTok clip. He wrote the code that runs the virtual servers underneath AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. He calculated more digits of pi than anyone in history. He has no Twitter. He has no marketing. He just keeps shipping.

His name is Fabrice Bellard.

Here is the story, because almost nobody outside the systems programming world knows what one man has built.

Fabrice was born in 1972 in Grenoble, France. He studied at Γ‰cole Polytechnique, the top French engineering school. He never went to Silicon Valley. He never built a startup empire. He just wrote code.

In 2000 he started a project called FFmpeg, an open-source multimedia framework for encoding, decoding, and streaming video. He was 28. The project did one thing nobody else had done well. It handled every video and audio format that existed, in one library, on every operating system. He led it himself for years.

Today FFmpeg is the invisible engine of the internet. YouTube uses it. Netflix uses it. VLC uses it. Chrome and Firefox use parts of it. Every Android phone, every iPhone, every smart TV, every video editing tool you have ever touched runs FFmpeg somewhere underneath. If you have watched a video on a screen in the last 20 years, Fabrice's code processed it.

He was not done.

In 2003 he started QEMU, a machine emulator and virtualizer. He wrote it solo until version 0.7.1 in 2005. QEMU lets you run any operating system on any other operating system. It became the foundation of modern virtualization. KVM, the Linux kernel hypervisor, runs on top of QEMU. Every major cloud provider, AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud, runs virtual machines on infrastructure built around it. The Quick Emulator is the most cited piece of cloud infrastructure code on
