> a "deterministic language model"

We already have a tool for that: it's called "code written by a programmer." Being human-like is the exact opposite of being computer-like, and I really fear that handling language properly either requires human-likeness or requires a lot of manual effort to put into code. Perhaps there's an algorithm that will be able to replace that manual work, but we're unlikely to discover it unless the real world gives us a hint.

Ask HN: What Is hackernews.hn?

overlisted — Sun, 19 Mar 2023 20:41:40 +0000

So there's this website that I came across: hackernews.hn. I found it by pure chance while simply browsing random TLDs. I saw ".hn" and thought, "oh, that would be fitting for HN," then finding a real operational HN proxy under hackernews.hn. I don't know who operates this or with what intent—perhaps some of the regulars on here might know? I'm genuinely curious, although I understand that this is pretty silly. Whois doesn't reveal any interesting information, neither does the HN search.

I came across this hackernews.hn domain while looking at random TLDs. I saw ".hn" and thought, "oh, that would be fitting for Hacker News," then opened it to see an actual HN proxy. I know this is pretty pointless, but I'm wondering who owns this and why; perhaps some of the regulars on here might know. Whois doesn't reveal anything interesting about it at all.

From what I can tell, this language builds on the learnings of Eve[1] without any investor money (Eve ran out of funding[2]). The state of the project is questionable, as can be seen by the dates on this page. Their active repository seems to be on GitLab[3] despite the links on the landing and in the README. It doesn't look like it has a lot of contributors or even people observing it, so I thought the HN crowd might want to look into this. I tried to find a Discord server or something like that, but it looks like they just communicate over email, so I have no clue as to what use they're making of their potential community involvement.

Same experience here, although I only did one year of Montessori before my parents luckily realized its ineffectiveness. I would quickly find all materials "boring" and didn't want to do them anymore. I guess it could get me to hyperfocus occasionally, but definitely not enough.

The city drawings have very obvious underdiffusion in them.

It's easier to phrase your speech in a charismatic way when it's written. Plus, you're probably not reading a lot of downvoted/ignored comments, which actually represent most HN readers.

That's what I was thinking, too. Maybe also add some content-addressability or timestamp IDs into the mix to make renaming a safe operation. And just FYI: there is a reason why Git puts objects in subdirectories. Filesystem-based operating systems are surprisingly bad at handling extreme filesystems, so it might be wise to do what Git does in the main directory.

The linked 2013 Notion demos look incredible. I really wonder what made them drop all of those features.
