"New movie breaks box office record" headlines are annoying. They should go by tickets, not dollars. Currently they're mostly just tracking inflation

Neat trick for merging hash tables: 1. Run a HyperLogLog over each (fast) 2. Merge these to get the total unique count (very fast) 3. Use this for sizing the result 4. Merge tables in Memory friendly, and just one allocation!

oh just a thought if your plan for overthrowing the Iranian government depends on the Iranian public rising up, you likely shouldn't have defunded the American government run news agency that speaks in Farsi.

“Unlike human intelligence, it lacks the humility to acknowledge uncertainty...When unsure, it doesn’t defer to deeper research or human oversight; instead, it often presents estimates as facts.” They present it as a deep thing, but this is just "point estimates have limitations". Which, duh?

Getting around Rust's trait limitations with type-level first order logic 🔥

/// Type-level boolean trait for compile-time boolean values
pub trait TypeLevelBool {
/// The boolean value at the type level
const VALUE: bool;
}

/// Type-level representation of `true`
pub struct True;

/// Type-level representation of `false`
pub struct False;

impl TypeLevelBool for True {
const VALUE: bool = true;
}

impl TypeLevelBool for False {
const VALUE: bool = false;
}

// ============================================================================
// LOGICAL OPERATIONS
// ============================================================================

/// Type-level AND operation: A ∧ B
pub trait And<Other: TypeLevelBool> {
type Output: TypeLevelBool;
}

impl And<True> for True {
type Output = True;
}

impl And<False> for True {
type Output = False;
}

impl And<True> for False {
type Output = False;
}

impl And<False> for False {
type Output = False;
}
