Maybe try Odin. Based on what I have read, it’s basically C capability-wise with better ergonomics - a simple language; no objects and limited compile time shenanigans.
It's not about managing unknowns. It's about low information speculation taking up all the information bandwidth crowding out high information factual stuff.
The last few weeks with the LK-99 hype combined with the usual ChatGPT stories, I actually started feeling that maybe the site should be renamed Hype News.

IMHO it’s best to treat any extraordinary claim as BS until proven otherwise as it’s very easy to concoct BS claims. If we take every one of them seriously, it will consume all of our attention and destroy the signal (actual facts) to noise (unproven claims) ratio on this site.
Reading is a perfectly fine way to increase one’s vocabulary. It’s not the only way - TV and actually conversation would work too. I don’t see why it’s a bad way. It’s cheap and doesn’t require manpower per session.
Reading helps build vocabulary and probably helps improve her use of the language as a whole. It’s like running to lose weight but you decide to cheat by taking a cab instead.
With math, when you are first learning the very basics it helps to do a few problems by hand to get a feel of things. Sure if you have a degree in STEM have have deal with advance math you can probably get away with just reading the theory only.
Slashdot is really more like HN's predecessor. Mostly tech news focused. It faded in popularity after Digg became a thing and allowed all sorts of topics.
Is Apple’s AI adding hallucinated details? The last I read it’s just used to merge multiple images - up to 8 or 9 images - to form the final
image. While I could see details getting lost or artifacts being added, I don’t think it can add actual “feature” details that don’t exist.
The changes the AI makes are perceptually noticeable though when compared to source.
No one complains about image or video compression either if the quality is good enough - because it’s not perceptually noticeable vs uncompressed; people can do A/B testing to be sure.
I want game content generation by AI, like for dungeon generation in an ARPG - it likely won’t be as good as hand crafted level by a developer but it should be more interesting than the current techniques where prefab pieces of a dungeon are randomly put together.
