Did he cheat at other games too? I knew of the Path of Exile 2 incident, but I'd hardly call that a zero-skill game.

The problem is Google's AI results get even simple factual questions wrong all the time.

Earlier today, I searched "pixel 10 wifi 7" because I was confused that GSMArena showed my Pixel 8 supports Wifi 7, but the Pixel 10 only Wifi 6. Gemini confidently claimed that the Pixel 10 does support Wifi 7 -- but that's not true at all. Only the Pixel 10 _Pro_ supports it, as I discovered when actually reading the non-AI search results.

And this is a question about a Google product!

> Libraries that were made independently usually fit together like a glove because they are all just maps/vectors in -> maps/vectors out.

This is also the biggest weakness of Clojure (IMO). When everything is "just data", you spend a lot of time digging deep in libraries trying to figure out exactly what shape the data should take. Additionally, the shape of input data is almost never validated, so you spend lots of time debugging nasty type errors far from the place where bad data entered the program.

There have been some abortive attempts at solving this with things like spec, Prismatic Schema, etc, but nothing that has taken hold like TypeScript did with JS.

I'm still waiting for my dream language with the flexibility and immutability of Clojure, but without the pain points of an anything-goes attitude towards typing and data shape.

This is so sad to read. Knowing that the people actively making every aspect of life more monetized and addictive are acutely aware of the harm they create, yet are motivated by such base selfishness that they can ignore all that for the paycheck.

To be fair, risk calculus does not appear to be this administration's strong suit.

I think you would be hard-pressed to find any human who has been 100 pounds overweight for any amount of time that doesn't have an obesity-related comorbidity.

Hypertension, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, etc are all common in the general population and exacerbated or even caused by the physical and lifestyle conditions that beget obesity.

If you haven't used it, how can you judge its quality level?
