You are advocating for prescriptive use of language. However, when you take prescriptivist definitions to their logical conclusion, they end up being incoherent. It would also indicate that language lacks malleability, which is demonstrably false.

"Are games art?" is, in the end, a defintional question and not that interesting. But if someone's designed a game so that if you play it as it's supposed to be played, you'll appreciate the action of gameplay, the game is acting like an artwork does. (This applies to Mario, but what about chess?)

It's the end of days

What the hell kind of ouroboros argument is this, they're already doing that in other states, this is what the bill was trying to fix.

Oh, this will haunt him. We need to make sure of that.

The bottom line is people will only retain information that they actively use after they finish studying. So it is down to themselves to remain informed or remember stuff. Trying to create ever more prescriptive curricula just ends up with bun fights in which we end up with a mismatched incoherent

On Tech Criticism, Techno-optimism and why I wish STS was also prescriptive

First up is "Claude 4 Opus with extended thinking", one of two Kagi models that output their "thought" processes - which I like, and which is why this is the one I usually use (if I'm not using ollama locally).

Pretty reasonable advice, if a bit generic. I'd give it a solid C.

The others schools are in the end more prescriptive about when and where to write tests. Some use fakes, some go outside-in, some try to solve the integration test scam. It’s a fascinating read.

At the end of the day, alignment is just another tool you use to make a character. Its descriptive, not prescriptive. Its messy, vague at times, and not obvious in how it works.

I think there's a distinction between using it in a way that is disrespectful and one that is e.g. playful. I'd put your examples more into the former. I would prefer that people use the field in an informative way, but in the end, being prescriptive about presentation (which this is) isn't great.

Alas, there was another banger on the next page already 🤣 So hard not to highlight the enture book! 7/

Great talk by Matthew Lanham (@MatthewALanham). Key in how to teach predictive and prescriptive analytics: Beginning with the end in mind, use @INFORMS CAP, do not extrapolate beyond the range of typical values (convex hull constraints). #ORMS #informs2023

i find myself frustrated by thin-skinned people who dont ask "what do you mean by that"

in healthy communication, language is more descriptive than prescriptive — you cant dictate someone else's intent in word choice for them

to do otherwise is to use motivated reasoning toward some different end

Lovely, incidental, public seating and play in Munich.
It ticks all the boxes - social seating, non-prescriptive playful feature which can be used by everyone, and a range of spaces so that different groups can use it.
