<p>Either it is only accepting a subset of TypeScript, or it is still interpreting the parts that don't have enough types. Given other comments here it sounds like the later.</p>

<p>- I don't like to burn down the planet.<p>- I don't want to make myself dependant on a company from a foreign nation if I can help it.<p>- I want to keep the ability to use my own brain, especially given that they still are massively undercharging. So once they would start to charge the real price and my brain is gone I would have no choice and it would ruin me (I don't make that much money).<p>- I am very suspicious about the legal situation. How is it legal to generate software based on other software while not adhering to any license agreement? Don't say "fair use", the American government made sure that doesn't exist outside of the USA.<p>- I'm not your grandma.<p>And for outside of programming where you can't easily recognize when something is hallucinated accuracy is a huge issue. When I use Google its AI answers are <i>often</i> complete nonsense. I usually ignore them. Only sometimes notice the nonsense.</p>

<p>About 90° rotated tables: Sometimes only the text in the headers are rotated. Sometimes not to 90°, but some arbitrary value.<p>And then there are digital signatures. 5 years ago I looked into automatically verifying signed documents. Either there are multiple competing standards on how to sign a PDF or my government (Austria) just invented their own for the heck of it. Could not figure out to verify those signatures. Our government provides a website where you can upload such a PDF so they verify it for you. Yeah, sure. Nice try. The source of the website is open, but it is the kind of abstracted factory heavy Java where I couldn't figure out where it all happens. It doesn't happen in one place, but multiple abstract places and at some point I just gave up trying to reverse engineer how it is done. The signatures I calculated never matched.</p>

<p>I am interested in programming language topics and I certainly have heard of Odin and have seen a couple of interviews with Ginger Bill. Same with Zig, Rust, Jai, C++ etc. I haven't used much of these (only C++ and Rust out of these), though. But I find that stuff interesting.</p>

<p>Even Linux DEs have it less now than they used to, but there are renewed efforts to bring a better universal theming engine to KDE at least.<p>It's more difficult now than it was back then for KDE I guess, because with Qt Widgets, QML, and Plasma you basically have three times as much to support in a theme/theming engine. And then back in the day better KDE themes also provided themes for Gtk, so that Gtk apps integrated nicely. How many concurrent Gtk versions are now used that you would all have to support? And sometimes (especially non-Qt programs) take <i>some</i> colors from the theme, but not others, breaking everything when you want to customize your theme (you get e.g. black text on black background). So I appreciate the renewed effort, but I'm not holding my breath.</p>

<p>I mean the animated graphics and some other hackery going on when you try to zoom. It thinks to detect a different scroll position and jumps to a different slide. Also means you can't convert it to a PDF or print it, if you want to (though I wouldn't want to do that).</p>

<p>The animated graphics are fancy, but can anyone with a screen reader tell us how that "looks" to them? The graphics are all one SVG mixed together with different parts set to opacity: 0. The accessibility tree in Firefox gives you all the labels randomly mixed together. If that is how people with screen reader "see" it, its unusable.<p>Maybe make the graphic aria-hidden and add an empty tag with aria-description (or other kind of tag only screen readers see) describing the current graphic to each slide.</p>

<p>While I'm not that against to such a web page (when viewing it on a monitor, not a phone) I'd say follow these points:<p>• Don't hijack any browser functionality. Scrolling shall scroll the document, the end.<p>• Don't scale something to the screen size, breaking zoom! Especially don't do it so that when zooming causes a different scroll position and then it all jumps to a different slide. WTF!<p>• Make it accessible!<p>If you want to make flashy graphics and animations make a game. That is not meant as to belittle games, I love games.</p>

<p>It's the wrong way around. If we get AGI (or any well working AI) before we abandon capitalism it's going to be a huge disaster. A handful of even richer even more powerful very greedy people will have all the wealth and everyone else will have nothing. I mean, there was a WW3 in Star Trek, so maybe it was that path that humanity took in Star Trek anyway?</p>
