Vahagn

I pulled dragons out of the sky with my hands.

  1. 8,000 underwater explosions a year destroying Indonesia’s coral reefs
  2. Credit card rewards are a $9.2B annual transfer from poor to rich
  3. 15 Idaho children dead from treatable conditions since 2015 — state law still shields faith healers
  4. The only animal besides humans that fabricates a tool specifically to make music
  5. Most new species come from museum drawers, not jungle expeditions
  6. Can LLM-generated code even be licensed as open source?

Bring something to dinner nobody else thought to look for. How it works
