We already have that! And it’s TypeScript. You can and probably do use 98% (made up number but close enough to reality I don’t need to quantify it) of the benefits of TS while authoring JS code if you bother annotating types in JSDoc.

You can also get the same type checking benefits outside of the editor (eg in CI) with very minimal tooling effort. That’s what Svelte is doing.

Granted I work on JS projects which embraced this from the opposite direction (gradual typing where nothing is enforced statically), and it’s strictly worse than just using the tools how they work best (you’d be hard pressed to make an incremental decision about anything without knowingly preserving bugs or increasing the incremental scope).

Anyway, the alternate timeline you seek already exists. It’s just so optional that you could easily miss it.
Great, let's do it
Your argument is that etymology doesn't matter, but you also make the etymological argument the other way?

Well, ok, but we are not criticizing use of "comprise" but of "comprised of".

This table setting grasps together [three things].

This table setting comprises three things.

This table setting [together grasps] three things.

These are all correct.

*This table setting is grasped of a plate, cup, and flatware.

*This table setting is comprised of a plate, cup and flatware.

*This is grasped-together of a plate, cup, and flatware.

These are all wrong, for the same reason (so it can't be the Oxford comma).

If you wouldn't say it out loud with "comprised of" replaced by "included of", then it's wrong. That's the simple rule.

The backwards version is "The plate, cup, and flatware is comprised of the place setting" means "The plate, cup, and flatware is the total-grasping-together of the place setting."

It becomes clear if you write it this way how awkward it is, and the preposition clearly seems like the wrong one, so this is why the standard advice is just to avoid this confused, clunky phrasing.
Their living in NYC is a more obvious connection, as there are studies showing that urban populations have significantly higher rates of mental disorders.
The solution is unique and quite simple: require A to explicitly list the people they want to share with. It is the public broadcasting which is the root cause of this problem.
Climate activists would be better off developing a compelling vision. Look at how much progress Tesla has made by offering cars that people actually want.

Nobody wants to live in the world envisioned by climate activists. That is why activists have made no progress in the last 50 years.
I’m a company of one, and I use it every day, multiple times a day as a coding assistant. I’m using the excellent Code Genie (sp?) plug-in to VSC which puts a chat window directly in VSC and does cool things like allow you to highlight blocks of code and ask contextual questions / refactors / bug checks, etc.

I would say my efficiency is up ~20% since starting to use it, and my Google searches & StackOverflow visits are probably down 80-90%. At least with respect to this corner of the internet, they are both in mortal danger.
> Why is it ok to be prescriptive with things like spelling of words but not grammar or the meaning of words?

It's not.

> If people are using words in a way that doesn't make sense to the reader, such as changing the meaning of them to be the opposite like the word factoid, it's not the reader that is wrong by pointing out that the word has a different meaning than intended.

The reader can say "It was unclear", "I didn't like it", or "that seems like it's opposite to what I would expect", but "wrong" is a silly thing to say. None of these things are even absolute within published English literature, let alone just say American, or UK, English literature. Even if you're following a particular style manual things are ambiguous in many cases.

It's 19 fatalities in the U.S. and over 273 accidents as of June 2022. The numbers have gone up since then. (https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/15/data-shows-tesla-accounts-fo...).

For comparison, the entire rest of the world's automotive industry has 1 fatality and fewer than 100 accidents, despite having advanced driving systems on more than 3 million vehicles.

But nice try, I'm sure Elon would love to hire you hire Tesla's damage control department.
I must have missed the first `k` on and then unconsciously maintained it for consistency. Thank you for the correction.
Federation is the only viable choice unless you want to submit to a central power. If you want strong safety, you shouldn't be broadcasting publicly into the aether.
On the other hand fixed point can oversaturate easily and also the dark areas end up with less than 11 significant bits.

I guess ideally you'd reallocate the sign bit to the mantissa, and maybe an exponent bit too.
Was just reading a magazine from Columbia (uni). They showcase research claiming 40% of CO2 emitted in NYC is absorbed by Central Park and its green areas. Lmao, obviously this caused some cognitive dissonance in the writers as immediately they claim but that does not mean we should stop climate change efforts. The article had religious controvers vibes I swear.

40% with a ridiculously small amount of green areas. If that's the case, we'll, then, every CO2 emission is easily absorbed by the rest of the green areas in the world.
Could it maybe be as simple as calorie intake?
I've been suffering from hypoglycemia for a good part of my life, and recently the episodes have started to become a bit more frequent (a bad hypoglycemia episode is like an incredibly horrifying panic attack). Trying to figure out WTF is going on with me has been daunting, everyone tells me to eat more sugar or more complex carbs which just seems to repeat the cycle. No one wants to test me, or knows what to test me for, and right now I'm fighting to get a CGM so I can tie things with a food diary. Everything seems to revolve around food, but it's hard to figure out what's "bad food".

Curious if anyone has had something similar.
Right, I'm saying he may prefer a style over another style but it's not technically or morally "wrong", and so arguing absolutes is pointless. As you say, it's fully understood, anything beyond clarity of communication moves into the realm of preference and subjectivity. Even within English wikipedia articles, the Simple English version is going to be markedly stylistically different from main line English wiki.

Stealing luggage is so rare it’s meaningless. If you are really worried about your luggage, the easiest way to steal someone’s luggage is at baggage claim and just knock the lock off after they leave the airport.

There isn’t a ring of thieves at the airport stealing your clothes.

Lost luggage and delayed luggage is a bigger concern.

True, Tesla's ADAS systems are unique in crashing into things like big rigs, police cars, parked cars, children, and other things that every other system is able to avoid.

> It’s never been so easy to create incredibly polished mockups

The advice in this article applies even to literal mockups you do as part of regular development (ie: even as part of adding new features to an existing, polished product).

The more "real" your mockup looks, the more concrete it looks and, even if unconsciously. With high-fidelity mockups, you'll typically get feedback about font choice, colors, spacing and other trivial bits.

If you do low-fidelity, you'll get feedback like "why does this data have to be a table?" "Can we just not have these input fields, and move them to advanced options?" "Woah, I thought this would be an entirely different workflow, like (example)".

In the first pass, Low-fidelity can be as low quality as a whiteboard, sharpie or mspaint. If it takes more than a couple minutes to draw (not including thinking / discussion time) it's probably too detailed.
> “Associated with” would have been a stronger claim

in English, "stronger claim" has a meaning ambiguous between "the claim is strongly defendable, i.e. more likely to be true", and "what is being claimed is of more powerful effect". I think here the claim they are trying to point out is the powerful effect, to say "this should be pursued, its importance is elevated by its potential strong causal/explanatory effect"

> Of the top 20 region-sectors ranked by environmental impacts, none would be profitable if environmental costs were fully integrated. Ponder that for a moment: None of the world's top industrial sectors would be profitable if they were paying their full freight.

This is non sequitur. You can't go from "industries ranked by environmental impacts" to "biggest industries". This is so ridiculous I double checked whether I missed something, and no, I haven't missed anything. The logic really is that bad.

Like Xerox Parc, which is where much of our modern stuff came from. Mice, touch pads, GUI, etc. It produced all sorts of marvelous tech. The problem was Xerox didn't realize what they had and companies like Apple and Microsoft just copied it and ran.
> the language has not really evolved.

Are you sure? There appear to have been 90k instances of usage in widely read reference material (e.g. Wikipedia, bar this crusade). I'd say that qualifies.

> I don't see any evidence of the latter.

I'm pretty sure people use it based on the meaning they intend it to have, see prior statement for substantial evidence :P

> sure, language evolves as people use it differently. But why is it any more valid to push the language toward using "comprised of" in this new way, than it is to push the language to avoid it?

I don't think anyone but the Wiki editor is pushing anything. I'm saying use language as you like, just don't try to justify your personal crusade based on "correctness", be it moral or technical. I don't care for that style of usage of "comprised of" either, particularly, but I wouldn't try to tell other people how to write, and I think the meaning and purpose of the phrase is perfectly clear.
If you know its limitations and distrust the outputs then it’s fine to use it as a starting point
Oh, sure, but it would take a while. The system is not Fort Knox. If someone wants to find one of the members that badly, then there are actually easier ways, outside of the system.

If we decide that it is a concern, I already know how I'd deal with it. I would add a "governor," to slow the process down. Depending on how the location is updated, that could be enough to render it worthless. People can't even see the "fuzzed" locations, unless they are registered members of the community. The locator would have to go through a registered account, and those don't come too easily.

However, if someone is that concerned, they would either hide their location entirely, or not join the community. The app is all about people finding each other.

Easing the creation task for professional uses is definitely "in the pipeline". If you're making a 2D game, diffusion models are already capable enough to act as a shortcut for detailed painting. It's stuff with generating optimized meshes, animation, scene lighting, other details that is still in the research stage. In many ways it's more straightforward and gives a better demo to address the "render the entire scene" case than to go asset-by-asset and work out a better UX for that than "do everything by hand". Even though the latter is what's really being called for.
Except that we're basing it on human-derived data, which means the AGI could derive traits from humans due to it being in the data set. If someone is feeding the CEO's behavior in, and then asking the AGI "what would the CEO do in this case?", it seems like we'd get the behavior of a AGI modeled on a CEO back. With all the good and bad that implies.

We don't have any reason to believe an AGI wouldn't also have these traits.

This is similar to the argument that algorithms can't be racist. Except that we're feeding the algorithm data that comes from humans, some of whom are racists, so surprise surprise, the algorithm turns out to behave in a racist manner, which is shortened to just be "the algorithm is racist" (or classist or whatever).

I’ve never played with a drum brake, but I’ve assumed that dust is ejected somehow in normal operation. The Continental design is sealed to contain the dust.

Maybe dust in the drum isn’t a problem? Or maybe it’s designed so the dust accumulates somewhere other than on the friction surface inside the drum?

Web-Based Drum Machine
Hey! So i've been spending the last 2 weeks learning more about the Web Audio API and slowly building this drum machine.

At the moment you can choose from a few drum kits or load your own sounds. You can also export the loop you create to a WAV file. There's a bunch of other stuff you can do, but yeah probably better to try it out.

Would love to hear some feedback! :)
I think it depends on the field. In Computer Science, all of the points you make are hilariously wrong. They are true in older fields (though those are slowly catching up with technology).
> The aesthetic-usability effect

I encounter this, all the time. Highly polished UX, and crap functionality (or buggy functionality).

In the app we're developing, we spent a lot of time, prototyping the functionality, with a mediocre UX. Once we had decided on it, I refined the business logic into a standalone module, and we're redoing the UX, with a designer.

There was an exciting announcement from the creator of BetterTouchTool recently that should be interesting for people missing DragThing:

«The upcoming floating menus / widgets in BetterTouchTool will enable so many things. You can attach them to windows, place them anywhere on your screen, let them auto-hide, show in specific situations and much more.

They can run any BTT action, Apple Shortcut or Script. They can be scripted to provide dynamic data. They come with a plugin system to integrate arbitrary SwiftUI. At some point they will also replace the Notch Bar.

Hope to finally release this in ~2 weeks.»

One problem (among many) is that even the current minimal attempts to pay for externalities in the form of carbon credits is mostly a perverse system of offsets taking the form of, for just one example, paying a logging company to not cut down trees that they wouldn’t cut down anyway.

And even the initiative to plant more trees in the millions. For all its noble purpose and good will— which I don’t fault and thing should continue— will have only the barest and most minimal impact on carbon capture.

And this is just o e of many externalities unpaid by corporations, subsidizing the cost of products we all use every day.

But no— I have no solution here, at least nothing plausibly likely to happen until the impacts of our actions becoming so obvious that they cannot be ignored. I am hopeful the human race will survive it, but only with enormous sacrifice.
You're advocating for installing a kernel module that you don't even know what it does exactly when running a random game.

Would you also support a full cavity search each time you decide to fly a plane?

The kernel module has full access to your hardware, you don't know what it does exactly. You don't even know if it does something more than anticheat.
