If I understand correctly what this is about, one example is buffer overflows, where you write to the first symbol but end up in the second: char symbolA[10]; char symbolB[10]; symbolA[15] = 0; // actually writes t

Maybe some form of gradual typing like TypeScript is somehow possible? And also like TypeScript, a repository for declarations for popular libraries.

Atomic clocks measure atomic state transitions. There is no distance here - the oscillations are in energy states, not position. In fact, the atoms undergoing these state transitions are cooled as much as possible to prevent any sort of mov

I think this is about trading storage for computation - you replace terabytes of model/texture data with a compute heavy NN.

It's used by editors like Visual Studio Code to provide intellisense, autocomplete, breakpoints and the like. The idea is that instead of each editor writing it's own (incomplete) Python or Go plugin, someone writes a language ser

Intuitively this seems wrong to me. If the satellite is overhead, the error would put you 300m into the ground so to speak. I'm not sure why you project that horizontally, and especially why you take the distance to the satellite into

> EM already propagates across the known universe. I meant it in the sense that EM will be attenuated by gas clouds and solid matter due to the high interaction rate of EM, while neutrino (or presumably dark matter) much less so.

We know one way in which it would be superior - very low interaction rates which ordinary matter which would mean much longer propagation ranges. And their difficultly is a bonus in itself - if you want to hide your communications as much a
