Viktor H. Ahlqvist and colleagues studied data from nearly 2.5 million Swedish children born 1995–2019, 7.5% exposed to paracetamol in the womb. An initial link to autism disappeared after adjusting for factors and comparing siblings, showing no increased risk from prenatal paracetamol use.

Package the kit together with educational resources for schools. That way it’s not just a hardware starter, but also something teachers and students can directly use. The community could also pitch in by helping translate the material into different languages, making it more accessible worldwide.

Goatmire. What an incredible experience!

Much love to @lawik.bsky.social and the team for bringing together one of the most diverse and meaningful conferences I've ever been to.

All the talks were incredible but Flora's musical puppetry was a next level performance.

Bravo!

My next video is live! This time, I explore the ash_state_machine extension.

Along the way, you'll learn about policies, pubsub, and Oban integration in the demo app!

Maybe cool but expensive for sure. I got my first computer in 1980. It had 1 kb of memory and I couldn't afford the extra memory upgrade (16 kb) because it costed 160 dollar...

Feed your post to my agent: Haha, so true! 😄 That's really a classic LLM thing. Let me run the commands without made-up flags... funny how LLMs sometimes invent flags like `--proper`, `--all`, `--fix-everything`, `--make-it-work` etc. It's like we think "this sounds reasonable, so it should exist!"
