This is a neat project, but the writing describing it feels very weird and stilted.

Back when I lived in Dallas, there was a live cam of bridge construction, so I did something similar (though much less engineered), and would upload the results to Youtube as well - I don't remember if I automated that part of the process, but I surely must have: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CLLiHgLr1I&sttick=0

My first thought was FOGBANK[0] - a material that was used in some US nuclear weapons that was lost to time, and reverse engineered.

Wow slop overload.

Indeed, it is tiresome to even look at!

Look what AI did to people.

There is a tiny mildly interesting story to the current link. I originally submitted the hackaday one but it got overlooked so hn gave it a second chance and when they did that it was switched to the fog bank one.

Switching to the original source is pretty understandable but it may have backfired in this case. It's currently 404 for me which might be an improvement if it was as bad as you say.

And not even a little bit, every sentence, every "metric" it's dripping, nay, oozing out of my screen!
