Also can add "Cache-Control: no-transform" header, which prevents modifying the payload.

It’s provably load-bearing.

I think the advent of world models is going to open up a lot of interesting 3D applications with related graphics & rendering challenges. That intersecting with WebGPU general availability across browsers IMO makes graphics programming a very interesting domain to get into now. I certainly see the need in my dayjob.

The most cited research studied wolves' affect on elk populations in Yellowstone restoring riparian habitats(1).
Wolves' impact on the spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in deer has also been studied(2). “CWD prevalence could be halved within a decade and eliminated within the century if a pack of wolves consistently and selectively removed 15% of deer in a closed population” (Waldner, 2016)
I don't know if wolves' impact on tick populations has been explicitly studied, but you can find research on habitat diversity reducing ticks(3); and it follows that the lack of predators contributes to deer population explosion, which in turn provides an unbounded vector for the tick epidemic.

A healthy wolf population is the proper (trophic cascading) solution to the tick epidemic.

Funny, I just today merged our migration from Next (with turbopack, page router, ~200 pages) to Vite + Tanstack Router. Builds went from 2.5m to 25s.
But even bigger was the improvement to dev mode compile times. With Vite it’s near instant. With Next running our e2e tests in development was utter pain.
So happy to leave next & vercel behind.

Now animate it with SMIL

Bravo, that’s a seriously impressive undertaking, and a great demonstration of the augmentation potential in agentic coding. There’s so much focus on replacing entry-level work it gets missed what these power tools can do in the hands of people who know what they’re doing.

A filter for how it looks in 3+ years too would be nice.
