Some obscure company cultures demand you address everyone and yourself as "leader" in third-person, irrespective of designation and rank. So fresh grads are leaders, janitors are "sanitation leaders", SDEs are "development leaders" and so on.

You are right.

How Aristotle illustrated abstraction – by extracting the definition of triangle. Reversible abstraction would mean the possibility of taking a triangle in the Cartesian space and reconstructing the actual object that includes an instance of this triangle. We’d have to be able to reconstruct its material properties.

It is precisely this impossibility that is essential to abstraction. It involves the removal of properties of a particular to arrive at the abstract – the common, the universal.

Now, it is possible to arrive at a poor, incomplete abstraction. Imagine if we dealt with red triangles and green triangles, as opposed to just triangles. If we wished to operate on the its underlying triangle, we would have to remove the colour at each operation. It would be an unused variable. We don’t want that – so we remove the property of colour from our triangle operations entirely. And thatbis the only way to deal with triangles.

Reversibility is simply a different property that can’t be attached to abstraction is if we wish precision at all.

I found this interview pretty thought provoking. I think it is still pro-Israel, but it provides a view of Hamas's strategy that I haven't seen anywhere else.

Basically, what I think Hamas leadership was thinking was to mirror the Hezbollah-Israel conflict from, what, 10 years ago, on a much bigger scale. According to this CIA officer, Hamas had 30,000 soldiers ready to engage in fighting with Israel in an urban environment, and the initial terror attack was trying to sucker the Israelis into rushing in and suffering huge casualties. Not 30,000 soldiers in uniforms and formations to your point, but nonetheless a large force. (This part starts at about 7:30 into the video).

According to the intel officer in the interview, Israel did NOT rush in, and is engaging in effective counterattacks per the Intelligence officer. I understand everyone thinks the press is owned by Israel, but in the failed conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon there was plenty of stories about the Israeli army failing.

I have not heard those stories. Just desperate stories from the Palestinian side, which tells me the Israelis are being quite effective.

Hamas is embedded with civilians by default: the Gaza strip is stuffed full of people, it has very high population density due to the insane 8 children-per-woman population expansion of the Palestinians over the last 60-70 years.
Confabulation should not be stable. Ie. you can generate answer let's say 3 times with different seed / non-zero temp and if it arrives at different answers you can categorize it as confabulation - which likely means, again, that the answer is not present and humans will likely also have different interpretations.

It may technically be logically consistent, but nobody writes this way: “meaning, for example, the official spelling of the central Japan prefecture of Aichi will replace Aiti.”

This reads that the official spelling is currently Aichi.

The Shibuya sentence is very awkward as well.
The leader, for example, has a passion for equality. We think of great generals from David and Alexander on down, sharing their beans or maza with their men, calling them by their first names, marching along with them in the heat, sleeping on the ground, and first over the wall. A famous ode by a long-suffering Greek soldier, Archilochus, reminds us that the men in the ranks are not fooled for an instant by the executive type who thinks he is a leader.

For the manager, on the other hand, the idea of equality is repugnant and indeed counterproductive. Where promotion, perks, privilege, and power are the name of the game, awe and reverence for rank is everything, the inspiration and motivation of all good men. Where would management be without the inflexible paper processing, dress standards, attention to proper social, political, and religious affiliation, vigilant watch over habits and attitudes, and so forth, that gratify the stockholders and satisfy security?

The things you seem to be worried about are configurable in the tsconfig. You can stay as polyfill free as you would like by instructing the Typescript compiler to error out instead of making the glue for you. Aside from the inescapable quirks of runtime JavaScript, Typescript felt pretty intuitive to me when transitioning to a new job from C# previously. Typescript with ESLint is about as solid as you’re going to get with JavaScript. I know that ideally there’d be something better, but in the real world right now this is the best it gets. At some point reality and business constraints are going to slam into ideations and things are going to get a bit dirty.

Aside from that, no matter what you pick, standard Typescript configs are absolutely compiling to JavaScript, not any other step in the interpreting process. It doesn’t matter if it’s taking your async/await and polyfilling it to run on an older browser engine… it’s still producing 100% JavaScript.

It goes Typescript -> JavaScript during the build, and the JS is what gets distributed to clients.

The JavaScript produced by TS is sent to the browser which performs the same JavaScript -> abstract syntax tree -> byte code -> execution, as usual

One has to love pedants. Your whole point was, LLMs don't create images (don't you say...), hence all the other points are wrong? Now go back to the first comment, assume LLMs and gen AI are used interchangeable (I am too lazy to re-read my initial post). Or don't, I don't care, because I do not argue semantics, tgere is hardly a more lazy, and disengenious, way to discuss. Ben Shapiro is doing that all the time and thinks he's smart.

I am prediabetic and I have one. It's partly covered by insurance. By the metrics my estimated average glucose has gone down from 129 to 98 or so (normal). I haven't had my HbA1c in awhile.

I think they are amazing. It's been SO HELPFUL. However I don't think it makes sense for normal people. I am on a reddit group for prediabetes and it's not unusual that people who are underweight (anorexic?) and have completely normal metrics come in and post in an utterly freaked out state. These are people who are somewhat compulsive and anxious. I think that if you are normal for blood glucose having access to all this data can make you compulsive and anxious.

However, for me as a prediabetic, it is really useful. It tells you what’s going on with your blood sugar in real time with no ideology. In the beginning I was spiking from things that a nutritionist would say was OK. I found whole grains didn’t work for me. I was shocked at how much I spiked from oatmeal. What causes blood glucose spikes does not map directly to number of carbs and also every body is different.

After 6 mo of lowered carbs, weight training, and getting down to normal BMI, I can now eat SMALL portions of things like brown rice. My health has improved. It's great. IMHO all prediabetics and diabetics should have one, covered by insurance. It would really improve health and reduce complications.
The very reason these laws are there is to protect civilians. A hospital can more or less safely operate in a war zone if both parties play by the rules and actually care for their people. If you exploit these very rules for military advantage, then why not just put red crosses on your attack helicopters as well? There aren’t too many laws to war, but this just fundamentally makes sense.

"There is no way the company could run[...]"

If there's one thing my nearly 10 years of capitalism has taught me, it's that many businesses can handle significantly more malfunction and rot than you could possibly imagine was tenable without going under. They might not soar, certainly, but "the business still exists, so it cannot be that bad" is just simply not valid reasoning.
Are you sure that stopping it will actually minimize the number of deaths in the long run? Is it better to kill 20000 people in a short time to reach permanent peace, or to save some of those people and then repeat the whole ordeal each 2 years, with more and more bloodshed?

I don’t pretend to have an answer, but war brings up very hard to answer moral questions.

> The Latin alphabet does not include J, U, and W, but the English alphabet does (see "Shinjuku")

Japanese does not naturally include distinct U/V letters and does not have a first-class concept that needs to be written with a J; the official way to romanize that place name is "Sinzyuku" and that's morally equivalent to a traditional-Latin "SINZYVKV". W does exist but is decidedly second-class and declining (only the "Wa" sound is really heard any more; I suspect it will go the way of obsolete phonemes like "Ye" and "We" soon enough).

> this would likely be better understood as a form of Japanese spelling reform rather than "Romanization".

It makes no sense as a way of spelling Japanese. It's about standardising on anglicising Japanese instead of romanising it.
> C also has a fair amount of bookkeeping hidden behind the scene

Hosted C does in the form of the standard library. C does have a freestanding variant though and its book keeping is generally limited to knowing struct member offsets.
Aceternity UI
Nicely put, thank you. What can sadly be even worse are physicists-turned-coders who think code is good if 1. everything is encapsulated as much as possible and 2. there are comments for every line.

Of course, I once was that physicist! Now I prefer working with arrays and functions that receive arrays and return arrays, even in the top-level, user-facing script.

But who knows, maybe there will be a next stage in the journey!

I recognize Kunrei-shiki as the style used in Eleanor Harz Jorden's seminal Japanese textbook, Japanese: The Spoken Language. I always thought Hepburn style was more appropriate for the goals of that book: to convey spoken Japanese in a way understandable to English speakers. But I think Jorden intended for accompanying audio materials to supply a pronunciation guide. (My Japanese professor was a native speaker, and so used her own voice, not audio materials accompanying the textbook.)
Oh, well that makes sense. I couldn't connect the dot's as I haven't heard of most of these. Thanks!
I totally can see that he copied your idea, and why you're frustrated.

But at the end of the day it's a simple idea and script. Can't really see what you can get from it, if they even wrote the actual code themselves.

That's true of many wars I think?

Doesn't your argument boil down to "wars are not moral"?

When the Iraqis and the US were besieging and pounding Mosul, was there a lot of discussion about the suffering of the innocents? Did the US or anyone else air drop supplies to them or send aid trucks into Mosul? Maybe- but I don't recall.

Let's not forget that ISIS was thousands of miles from the US and the US was under no direct threat. Contrast that to an enemy much stronger in numbers and arms vs. ISIS 15 minutes from your cities.

This is just evidence to what is the "standard" in how wars are waged in similar situations.

Before the Geneva convention, and obviously after the Geneva convention, some countries/armies would just fire artillery into the besieged city and drop bombs and starve them until there's no more resistance. This would be the Russian or Syrian approach which they copy-pasted many times in the Syrian civil war and in Ukraine (by both sides). Israel is not doing that.

All that said, I think Israel should strive within reason to facilitate aid delivery to civilians. It is doing that but it can probably do more. There are some portions of the Israeli public that think that after Oct 7th the "enemy" should be brought to their knees by any tactic but I don't think that's the majority and I don't think that's what the decision makers are pursuing. There are challenges in getting aid to people in a war zone where random people pop up with RPGs and shoot things or steal the aid for military purposes. If something goes wrong, like it did the other day, and many people died, Israel takes flak (essentially for trying to get aid into those problematic places).

The Hamas, being the elected government of Gaza, and having hoarded provisions for their prolonged battle, is also responsible for the well being of their citizens. They don't give a damn but we shouldn't forget they're responsible (in many ways) for the current situation.

In terms of "razing" there is extensive use of bulldozers, bombs and demolition to neutralize mines, booby traps, tunnel shafts. Expose tunnels. Remove positions the enemy can utilize. This is why the IDF has managed to take over most of Gaza with relatively low casualties (still a lot but a lot less than was expected). I'm ok with this morality in this context, minimizing my casualties in a conflict that the other side insists on continuing. There is a fine line there and the line is international law (which generally allows these tactics).
Romanization rules are changing. Why Kunrei won't be missed
I recently moved to Ireland, and what I noticed in the stores is that all products have a second €/unit price on the shelf label. So a per KG, per L, per gram, per unit, etc.

It makes it easy to compare different versions/brands/sizes of the same product and select the most optimum version for you. It's a nice touch. Not sure if this is a EU thing, or just a store policy.

“Aichi will replace Aiti” seems pretty clear to me.
The switch to Hepburn rules is reasonable since it's the de facto style of romanization but, if they were going to go thru this sort of effort to revise their written language it seems disappointing that they wouldn't add stress marks / accent marks to their romanization.

It especially makes sense in Japanese to remove ambiguity like, 港南. Konan, naively in Hepburn. But is it Kon-an or Ko-nan? Kònan removes ambiguity.
I'm wondering how you're thinking this distinction should apply in the real world. Would you say that if a game console is ever sold at a profit, the rules should change for that console platform?

You mean like it happens in most wars?
I’ve got the itches, too.

I make a deliberate effort to migrate away from that kind of influence in life and would rather add a dent in my résumè than stick around when a company goes scrummy.

The freedom of choice disappears, and along with it the joy of solving particular tasks. Long term planning is replaced by two-week windows, people bicker about what is a story, and what is an epic, and why can’t I move an unsolved sub-task to the next sprint. It turns the joy of coding into a march of attrition: the solution is only a multiple of two weeks from being solved if everyone marches the same way. It’s also like herding cats.

On the other hand, a company run by someone who knows what they’re doing gets to skip all of this. No need for middle managers who “know software” in the same sense anyone “knows furniture” because they also sit down.
