News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Totally inane post. Why does he need to justify his opinion by gambling on the stock market? Having a belief about the way things are going doesn't mean he knows when the tower of corruption and graft is going to collapse

Massive controversy in historical linguistics, singularity2001 on hacker News doesn't buy the age of proto-Indo-European
Because it's interesting? At least the grammar is better than your ESL word salad post
really soulless comment, nice job
Re:The Dark Night of Mathematics on Saturday July 25, 2026 @06:22PM (#49052289)
I agree. As someone involved in (non-mathematical) research I think the author is grossly overreacting. Nothing that comes out of an LLM means anything until it's assigned a meaning by a human being, just like anything else in the world. All this millenarial panic just plays into the hands of the psychopaths running the AI companies

Re:China Moon Mission: Aiming for 2030 Lunar Landing on Wednesday February 04, 2026 @02:22PM (#46890382)
Moon landings stopped because the US stopped spending something like 2% of GDP on them. "surely technology advanced to put there at least one man in those 50 years" does technological advancement preclude the need to allocate resources? This is about the level of critical thinking I expect from a conspiracy retard
Did you even read the article bud

It's the linkedin writing style, the idea is to make a bland anecdote with some vapid "insights" sound interesting by making it all enthusiastic and breathless like a TED talk

Mate what were you hoping a kid would get out of Ingmar Bergman and Antiononi movies and Javascript? Imagine forcing a child to watch Red Desert lmao. And now you're writing off her curiosity because she's not interested in AI architecture or whatever. Let people develop their own interests jfc
Re:The Dopamine Trap on Sunday January 04, 2026 @11:12AM (#46489316)
I'm instantly suspicious of anything online that uses the "dopamine" buzzword. The name of the neurotransmitter seems to just be used to mean "good feeling" so the grifter writing the article can make their self help content or specious moralising sound scientific
god russians are pathetic lol
What's woke about using the Polynesian name of a Polynesian island? Retard
Re:Grambank shows the diversity of the world's languages on Monday April 24, 2023 @04:29PM (#35692752)
I see 8 out of 195 "unknowns"which seems to be pretty good coverage. The remaining unknowns are things like serial verb constructions and reduplication, which are very uncommon in European languages. I'm not sure why these are uncoded but based on my knowledge of the methodology for Grambank it's possibly that these typological features aren't mentioned in any source. I agree it seems like these should be straightforward to code however, I'll ask someone

Re:Linguistics and Programming Languages (2006) on Wednesday March 29, 2023 @12:45PM (#35359810)
"it" has two functions in English. the first is what you described. The technical term is an anaphor, basically a "syntactic variable" pronoun that stands in for a previous noun phrase in subject or object position. This inspired anaphoric macros in Common Lisp: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaphoric_macro

The other function is as a dummy subject, as in "it rained", "it's cold". English grammar requires a subject (unlike many other languages, where a pronoun in subject position can be ommitted without the sentence becoming ungrammatical). So here "it" doesn't refer to anything, it's (haha) just there to fulfill a syntactic requirement
