This looks interesting. Now if somebody could explain how I was supposed to realize there was something interesting behind that crappy New York Times article (short of already knowing?) My original post got modded into oblivion, but I stand by it. The article looks like press material provided by IBM and lightly worked over by the Times writer whose name appears on it.
- wmf 17y agoI know where you're coming from; I love writing cynical "buzzword alarm" comments. This time you got unlucky and criticized a legitimate project; I wouldn't worry too much about it.
- dkarl 17y agoJust because marketing drivel happens to be true doesn't make it right to post it on Hacker News. A stopped clock is right twice a day. I don't have anything against the project, just the fact that the marketroids got their copy published in the New York Times and then linked on Hacker News.
- wmf 17y agoYeah, I wish people would submit the technical papers instead.
