I wouldn't call it a shortener, since most of the links it creates are longer than the originals. What would be a good name here? A URL redirector?

"If you offer to pay people to kill our people, we will do our best to make you lose this money" is IMO a pretty fair statement when published. Not only it calls the bluff of depending on mercenaries performing the Russian war mac

The moment slop becomes more HN-esque than original HN content, it tells you a lot about the quality of HN posts. That is very reflective to me.

Maybe HN needs some reflection, and satire is one of the best ways to provide it.

Yes. I'd prefer comments that have intent, not just high statistical probability.

I really enjoyed using CherryTree on top of Git with automatic commit and sync. Getting readable diffs (via using XML as an output format) is meaningful.

These aren't "job losses", these are "firings". They aren't unfortunate accidents of external origin that happened to them, they are conscious internal decisions to let people go.

Speaking for CL, it seems so for me. The whole magic about CL's condition system is to keep on executing code in the context of a given condition instead of immediately unwinding the stack, and this can be done if you control code gene

"Version control systems", in case of AI, mean that their knowledge will stay frozen in time, and so their usefulness will diminish. You need fresh data to train AI systems on, and since contemporary data is contaminated with gene

Which effort? Learning a language is something that can't be eliminated. Everyone needs to do it on their own. Writing grammar checking software, though, can be done few times and then copied.

by phoe-krk 1y ago
At this point we're already using different definitions of grammar and vocabulary - are they discrete (as in a rule system, vide Harper) or continuous (as in a probability, vide LLMs). LLMs, like humans, can learn them on the fly, and,

by phoe-krk 1y ago
When you do writing as a form of art, rules are meant to be bent or broken; it's useful to have the ability to explicitly write new ones and make new forms of the language legal, rather than wrestle with hallucinating LLMs. When writin

Yes, precisely. This "less than a decade" is magnitudes above the hours or days that it would take to manually add those words and idioms to proper dictionaries and/or write new grammar rules to accomodate aspects like skippi

by phoe-krk 1y ago
Natural languages evolve so slowly that writing and editing rules for them is easily achievable even this way. Think years versus minutes.

Truth be told, you can intercept the reader in Common Lisp, too, and here it actually makes some sense since the 2D value is immediately visually grokkable as an ASCII-art table. The proposed 2D sexpr notation does not have this.

Lisp programmer here. Traditional S-expressions, by their definition, ignore most of whitespace; additionally, reading sexprs is always a linear operation without the need to backtrack by more than one character. The suggestion from this po

Yes, it is indeed a risk. It is much better to only allow people "not of sound mind" to kill themselves the way they currently do - via brutal, goresome, and unexpected methods, which also often endanger others as well. /s

It's certainly a crisis in the Lisp world; everyone seems to be writing fewer comments.

Any such leftover behavior is going to be a reportable and fixable bug then.
