Kinda funny that in an article about translations, the author gets signal-to-noise completely backwards. A high signal to noise (over 9000) is very good. It means you are getting a lot of signal with very little noise. Decreasing signal to noise means getting more noise.

The author also used domain specific language when they meant jargon.

I noticed this too, although to be fair, “domain specific language” is a remarkably good definition of “jargon”
