Re:Ask HN: Observations on the Language of HN

A ton of hedge words. Example: "You probably wanna consider looking at that book" instead of "Take a look at that book". There's also some pseudo-math language I love such as "It's orthogonal to the point I made earlier modulo the given event".
At least that's how HNers used to talk years ago. I dont look at comments anymore.

I havent used mathstackexchange in a couple of years. I am glad I grew out of that phase. Now DeepSeek is killing that sort of math socialization. Nobody has to deal with that sort of ego.

ChatGPT started replacing Google and StackExchange sites for me. Sometimes when GPT gets confused by some math questions I ask Claude and vice versa.
