I think that's good logic about suitability, but it shouldn't mean it's universally the only language that programming languages use. By the same logic, I think an argument could be made for Japanese. Or Korean!

That's not actually true tho. Chinese Mandarin has ~ the same number of speakers as all English speakers, it's just your Englo-centric bias that makes you see the world in your skewed way, where English is the center of everything

Really? You're gonna fight over some discrepancies in sources, as if that changes things. The main point is that there are huge numbers of people who speak these languages and there's nothing special about programming and English

Now to everyone else, because it sounds like you will find this very hard to listen to right now, I think a good antidote to the fake narrative that "the Chinese government does not represent the Chinese people" is history. China

Triggered sounds like irrational and unhinged so...if it's what you need to say about other people's views to (in your mind) censor them and protect your own views, I get it, but I'm afraid it makes you a less trustworthy ass

Sorry actually it's not an extension, it's a "controller". It attaches to the debugging port of your Chrome instance. I tried implementing it as an extension but there's a lot of (undocumented) differences to using

Only ~5% of Earth speaks English natively. Another 15% speak it as an nth language. I think English based programming is an anomaly that came out of the post-WWII US/UK cultural world order, and from that sustained economic boom came

THat's probably the best fucking explanation in a HN comment I have ever read. Mind expanded. I actually feel like I get this stuff, which I didn't study at college, a little bit. I took chem... physics always seemed impossibly st

Yes, but it's not "the singularity". Saying AGI will be like iPhone and therefore underwhelming, is not to demean iPhone. But to place in correct perspective the overinflated ( I think ) sense of self importance and impact of

I think it's possible. Certainly when they draw the timeline in history textbooks in future, GPT-3 could be somewhere at the start, like one of the "ape men" to human transition species. :)

I think there will be some limit that means it's not about speed. I think we can't just scale up the speed factor (even if we reach speeds that are fast enough for this in the first place). Maybe it's related to experience&#x

iPhone is revolutionary, but it's productized revolution, which feels smoother. It's not "the singularity"

I think this is wrong (not to say you are wrong but this idea which is very common). The idea that we develop AGI and it is this program that is what we run on a regular device, and then we can make it 10x smarter effectively by running it

That's what I'm questioning. I don't think it means that.

I think it 's part of controlling the narrative. What if the big corps were actually behind the fetishization of and obsession with privacy and data collection? What if it acts as a distraction or cover for whatever other negative init

I think one of the issues of nolocode is it doesn't actually help people think like programmers, but the tools are often created with the implicit need to do that, a need which the creators don't see because they are coders. Peopl

This can't be true. YC clearly prefers multiple founders, and YC is the leading early stage investor.
