Somehow this was really difficult!
I already glossed over the word a few times, but it sounded very different in my head (stupid English and you ghoti[^])

This doesn't look good. Hurricane Otis has undergone rapid intensification. In just 12 hours, it has grown from a tropic storm into a category 4 hurricane. It's located in the Eastern Pacific and appears to be heading toward Acapulco, Mexico making landfall as a category 5 hurricane. Mexico isn't prepared for this. Every weather model has failed to correctly forecast its rapid intensification. I've never heard of that happening before.
I wish they would make a point of including a hurricane's barometric pressure in the updates.
According to Wikipedia, the pressure is reported to be 927 mbar (hPa); 27.37 inHg. For comparison,
the lowest barometric ever recorded for a hurricane was 882 mbar. The lower the barometric pressure,
the more powerful it is.

I don't mean to undermine the rest of what you wrote, but isn't that like saying "Japan isn't ready for earthquakes", or "[country in area prone to natural disasters] isn't ready for [natural disaster]"?

I wish them luck. I am still fighting my Homeowners Insurance company from Hurricane IDA 2+years later. 
There is NO way to prepare for a Hurricane. Take it from me I have lived through many hurricanes in New Orleans.

That's cool. It's a little bit scary, too. AI is an amazing leap for mankind, but what happens to us when a computer outperforms everything a human can do? What happens to your sense of accomplishment, purpose in life, dignity, and your ability to make a living with your hard-earned skills? What happens when we render ourselves obsolete? We will give up any control to machines, and I don't want to ponder what that leads to. I really wish I had evidence that substantiates otherwise. Will humanity be able to adapt to such a massive change in such a short amount of time? I can't predict the future, but I wish I had reason to be more optimistic. I hope I'm wrong. The alternative presents an existential threat to humanity which I'd rather not ponder.

I don't think we'll render ourselves obsolete, but rather stand on the shoulders of our robots and free us up to build more.
Expanding the "leisure class" (in this context I mean those that do not physically toil so I'm including scientists, academics, coders, even managers, etc) is a net win for humanity because that's where our innovation comes from. I should caution you that I'm not saying those who physically toil cannot innovate - more that they are otherwise occupied feeding themselves + feeding me and you.

In the same way that "AI boosts robot teaching" (work task analysis), AI should also be able to tell how humans can "labor" more efficiently. Fine tune quotas and such.
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

Seriously, maybe it's me but wtf?
Boss asked me to send him the release notes. I'd already done so, but hey ok. I send him the release notes (it's a word doc) via teams. We are now live editing the document with comments and what not. It's so f'ing confusing, I'm authorizing a tactical nuclear strike on MS headquarters.
This is progress? This is why you canned the default messaging app to come up with this monstrosity?
My boss made changes. I said, where's the doc? He says, "You own it, it's in your messenger." At this point I have no elephanting idea where the #$%%$^%^%^% document is.
This is utter bs.
<edit> The best part is that all of the content in messenger expires in one week. Joy. I will not miss this crap.

Myself that doesn't sound like an efficient use of time?
Last time I tried it MS Word has a very useable editing tool that allows for adding review comments, making changes, etc. And then the original author can review those easily.
Why not just send it to him. Then he makes edits on his own time and schedule and then sends it back?

Well, the corporation has drunk the kool-aid and gone full in MS. Which is fine, but I should have just emailed it. Instead, I dragged the file to Teams and off it went. So the boss made his edits, and was waiting on me to complete the doc. I had no idea I SHARED the file. I have three computers and a dozen VMs. I actually do not know where the file is....
The last time I sent a file through messenger, it was just a copy, not a live doc. I guess it makes sense sort of... but it would have been nice to know

The code below successfully draws a rounded pushbutton (without text since my SVG engine doesn't support text directly and i haven't added the text drawing code yet)
I just fired it up this morning and wrote it and it worked. Last time it didn't. I have no idea why. I've changed some things but nothing that should have destroyed it to where it silently failed.
I'm not sure whether I'm happy about this or not.

if(m_doc_dirty) {
gfx_result res;
svg_doc_builder builder(ssizef(destination.dimensions().width,destination.dimensions().width));

si.stroke.color = color<rgba_pixel<32>>::white;
si.stroke.type = svg_paint_type::color;
si.fill.type = svg_paint_type::color;
si.fill.color = m_pressed ? color<rgba_pixel<32>>::red : color<rgba_pixel<32>>::purple;
srect16 b = this->bounds().dimensions().bounds(); res = builder.add_rounded_rectangle(rectf(b.x1,b.y1,b.x2,b.y2),{10,10}, si);
