I can't concur enough. We don't teach, "how to design computers and better methods to interface with them" we keep hashing over the same stuff over and over again. It gets worse over time and the effect is that what…
If I had children I would force them to sit and play this for an hour every day. Bravo pal.
I just want competent search of my history. I just want some way of exporting my history in a visually appealing way so I can share my research paths with colleagues in a meaningful way. Vannevar Bush described features…
As a Smalltalk dork (Jaya Dan Ingalls!) and a former UNIXtard this really gets me moist as hell. Semi-related; anybody have an old NeXTcube they'd be willing to part with? I'm a student and I need it for school and…
I wonder if the AI can teach you how to use commas correctly.
Hey Rick. Excuse me for the long reply time. Our cinema program at our local university has been eating up a lot of my HN time. I appreciate your response in turn. 1) The relevant portions come in 1973. By 1969 we see…
A few more that young developers need to read: Computer Lib by Ted Nelson. This used to be the, "Bible" before Nelson fell into relative obscurity. Ted Nelson was the first to coin the term, "Hypertext" in the 1960s…
As pointed out by Scotty Kilmer on YouTube we currently lack the infrastructure both in terms of mechanics trained to work on EVs and the necessary electricity infrastructure to make a full transition possible. The…
What is going on good cats! Mah kittahs; you are some good ass men I am thinking. :3

The issue is that law enforcement personnel are going to do combinations of both. Corruption is real and companies are just made of people. Things can be done in relative secret without arousing controversy. This is the…
Going into the specifics of what motivated Mike Mansfield requires going beyond the conversation we're having about R&D into the domain of politics and ideology. I want to stick to relevant realities related to people…
Dichotomizing the world as either UNIX based or Windows is pretty myopic. I want the computer architecture Douglas Engelbart dreamed of. I want a realization of the ideas of Seymour Papert and Brenda Laurel. We're still…

UNIX is for dorks. We needed a Smalltalk style, "everything is an object and you can talk to all objects" but thankfully we got Java and, "object oriented" C++. The Alto operating system was leaps and bounds ahead of…
Ubiquity for Firefox/Chrome. Hit, "ctrl + spacebar to search for anything with simple typed parameters for search" was a killer product in 2005 and now Microsoft finally got wise to copy it in 2025.…
The people that are proprietors of these institutions count for less than 1% of the social economy in a large state where guns are legal. Please keep being greedy. You know where this is going.
I'm going to laugh and shit my pants in that or some order when we realize the models that produced ALL the code has sleeper protocols built into the code that's now maintained by AI agents that might also be infected…
Why the fuck did you capitalize, "emo?" You've got a tremendous writing style. It's like Thomas Pynchon if he capitalized the word, "emo" in his books.
Thanks for the coherent response jayw_lead! I too dislike the term but I'm coming from the Noam Chomsky, "language models are a nothingburger in terms of applied linguistics" angle. As far as I can see this still seems…
My feeling is that the tech industry has been in, "hot water" since at least 2018 and has been using private equity and bullshit hype-trains to garner interest in new technologies in lieu of the public getting hip to…
Explain to me how the, "Technological Singularity" isn't just Christian eschatology for dorks? As a Neon Genesis Evangelion fan this really gets me going but that's kind of why I ask.
This is the kind of thing I've always thought, "man you could totally do this if you needed to" and you did and here take your damned upvote. Rock on doener.
I know your type.
Perhaps the AI can teach you how to use commas properly.
