Source? As a counter anecdote: Madrid, where most people live near traffic, has the highest life expectancy in the EU at 85.4 years.

I'm pretty sure IKEA has been legally Dutch for a while now.

Peer-reviews have been broken way before GPT. People are expected to do it for free in a publish or perish academia...

Compared to his contemporaries? He is possibly the most influential sculptor of the Renaissance. Michelangelo wasn't even born yet when Donatello died.

What exactly did I write that is wrong? UG argues a universal grammar exists, and that humans innately posses knowledge about this grammar. It's this grammar that enables humans to learn a language (according to UG). They (UG linguists) have created a system of syntax rules that attempts to describe any language, but failed at doing so once they step outside of Indo-European languages. This is partly because Chomsky was hired by MIT to solve machine translation and putting language into a set of neat boxes was his best idea and partly because Chomsky himself had little knowledge of other languages. It's pseudoscience.

grammar as we know it was devised for the Latin language and linguists spend most of the time attempting to fit other languages into neat boxes that the Latin grammar wasn't designed for. This of course leads to absurdity. Chomsky attempted to solve this problem with his universal grammar, but that too stops working quickly once you get outside of European languages. That is, ignoring linguistic tools is one of the reasons GPT is successful.

The first thing that depresses wages in Southern Europe is lack of value creation.

I prefer Stimulus vs htmx + hyperscript for two reasons:
1. You can easily reimplement all htmx and hyperscript functionality and fine-tune to your liking
2. You are not limited by htmx and hyperscript

If you set the width/height to 12px, set the image's left padding to 0, and center things vertically with flex, it looks significantly better.
image.width = 12
image.height = 12
image.style.marginRight = '0.25em'
//image.style.paddingRight = '0.25em'
//image.style.paddingLeft = '0.25em'
document.querySelectorAll('.athing > td:nth-child(3), .titlelink').forEach(e => {
e.style.display = 'flex',
e.style.alignItems = 'center',
e.style.marginRight = '0.25em'
})
