I implemented my own VOX ADPCM (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialogi...) encoder and decoder in Rust! The purpose is to apply the sound quality of a codec to a sample—in this case, it's a 4-bit telecommunications algorithm that sounds fizzy and crackly

The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

So OpenAI just dropped $3B to buy Windsurf, the IDE formerly known as Codeium. The dev world’s collective sigh is so loud you can almost hear it over the hum of GPU farms. We wanted better tools, not another layer of AI feudalism.
