I also switched the image for the CppCon 2021 talk to be the one from
the slides for the CppCon 2023 talk, because it's funnier.

> NOTE: This open-source version has been significantly improved from what was presented in the
talk: both in its user interfaces, _and_ under the hood! The one downside is that matrix and vector
support hasn't yet been implemented. See [#70](https://github.com/aurora-opensource/au/issues/70)
for more details, and subscribe to that issue to watch for progress.

## ...and, at CppCon 2023

After CppCon 2021, we found that telling people what to look for in a units library wasn't good
enough, if they couldn't find one that met those criteria. We saw so many people struggling with
problems that we had already solved robustly! So, we set about sharing our work. With a clean
slate, we made a new library that was a drop-in replacement for Aurora's internal library, but with
zero Aurora-internal dependencies, so that we could easily open source it. The result was Au, and
we shared it at CppCon 2023. Check out the video below, and follow along with [the slide
deck](https://chogg.name/cppcon-2023-au-units) if you like.
