> 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.


This is futile thinking. Like saying machines don't need to exist because human labor already does.


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.


Same experience from having a kid in Montessori. It's definitely a method that works for some. We all want our children to be able to "choose their own path" but as a parent don't feel awkward asking the question, does my kid need more structure at this point?


The city drawings have very obvious underdiffusion in them.


Their CLI is going to interfere with the other `sl` command: https://github.com/mtoyoda/sl


TLDR: Calling self-hosting inefficient is like calling homegrown food inefficient.


There are also Chrome and Firefox extensions to remove results from W3Schools specifically


For GNOME users: I recommend trying this frontend https://github.com/marhkb/pods


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.
