It's crazy what you can do now with state of the art AI audio and video generation. If you combine the output with some clever editing it's hard to discern what's real anymore.

Someone needs to spread the message to Europeans that the US went through a food revolution in the last 20 years. Their opinions are woefully outdated. Yes you can still buy weird junk, but that's mostly a novelty.

Algebraic number theory sounds like it should be simple if you don't know anything about math.
math subjects by minimal required IQ:
90 trigonometry
100 linear algebra
110 real analysis
120 category theory
130 Italian algebraic geometry
140 prismatic cohomology
145 advanced calculus

Many years ago on HN I made a comment about boom. Something along the lines of the only way they will succeed is if they build their own engines. Glad to see that they're making progress.

Stage one and two blisks for the first Symphony engine have arrived.
We’re finished building the turbine rotor and now we can start building the compressor.

If I were to rate Fable's performance so far I would say "solid junior dev". Shows promise, still needs strict guidance from someone who knows what they're doing.

I'm surprised that there's not a greater movement around stopping usage of Tylenol. If you can take NSAIDs there usually is a better OTC medicine you can take. It only really helps with fever, and there are clear liver failure issues with its use.

One of the reasons I think AI's writing quality has lagged behind coding, is that commercial writing isn't particularly valuable. I haven't met many professional writers who make six figures and are bad at their job. I have met programmers who are highly paid and incompetent.

Some of the worst code I've ever seen still makes a ton of money because it solves some problem. No one pays for bad writing.

The funny thing about developing software is that if you ever use a substantially similar product to one you have built, you can find bugs in it quickly because you have previously run into them.

A lot of people just cannot separate the signal for the noise. If you want to run any sort of tech company at scale you're going to have some furries on your team. Who cares?
Rust will become a boring language.
Bold prediction from @vlad20012, but hear him out since boring might be exactly what Rust needs.

For the worst tornados your house would be lifted off the foundation and become a projectile. Many brick homes have been reduced to rubble. There's just not much you can do to stop 200 mph wind.

Here's the thicness of a wall in my European house, cat for scale.
Of course it would survive.

A lot of people have opinions about a car they cannot afford and would likely not be allowed to buy even if they could.

The oil and gas industry uses a clown car unit system. WTF is a Darcy? How is everything not broken all the time?

"We use barrels per honk foot, because a machine in 1903 used to make a honking sound whenever a drill deviated by more than 1 degree every 52 feet." How do you live like this?

If anyone in the future gets angry with me about PDF accessibility I want to let you know that the accessibility checker built by axes4 sucks and I tried my best to make things work based on the spec.

I find it ironic that an accessibility checker only works on windows. I'm going above and beyond here because this thing is a nightmare.

I've been working on version 2 of the elixir cbor library. The new version gives us compatibility with RFC 8949. Test it out in your applications with `{:cbor, "~> 2.0.0-rc1"}` I don't expect there to be many issues but will give some time to test before cutting 2.0. #MyElixirStatus

The benefit of not being a super genius is that I don't get nerd sniped by super complicated engineering ideas. I always think "This is too hard to understand, we should find a simpler solution" and the simple version usually works and can scale.
