I'm sorry, but four errors within the first sentence is just not good enough - did the author even read this themselves just once before hitting publish? Show just a little bit more respect toward the people who give their attention to what you've written.
- mparramon 6y agoMaybe the author's first language is not English?
- m12k 6y agoSure, neither is mine. But if you don't have the skills to proofread what you've written yourself, then get someone to help that has. I don't expect to be able to write something in Chinese deserving of a wide audience all on my own either.
- Klathmon 6y agoA lot of people write content like this for nothing or next to nothing. If the bar to publish a blog post is "needs an editor" then there's a lot of content that simply won't exist any more, because people don't want to pay money to read blogs (at least I know I won't).
- jonathanstrange 6y agoPersonally, I don't care about form if I find the content interesting.
- ClearAndPresent 6y agoForm is content, content form. How you do anything is how you do everything. Errors in grammar and syntax indicate errors in thought and care.
- jonathanstrange 6y agoNot really, but the way you put it sure sounds nice.
- dynamite-ready 6y agoThat is quite probably untrue, and I'd wager many best selling and critically acclaimed books contained a number of 'howlers' on the publication of their first editions.
- satorii 6y agoThanks for pointing out the errors. I got them fixed in the blog. This is also a good use case of GPT3, checking grammar and spelling. I might build an application for this.
- m12k 6y agoThanks for fixing them - and sorry if I was overly harsh. Sharing your writing with the world is nerve-wracking enough already without having the spelling and grammar shot down on HN. Truth be told, my first thought was "maybe this is some example of text created by GPT-3?" But I think you're right that it would actually serve well as a combined spelling and error checker to catch things like that - I hope you do build an application for it, that would be neat.
- jkinudsjknds 6y agoProbably not. Current spelling and grammar checkers are quite good and are deterministic. A black box neural net could hide huge unexpected edge cases.
