on: Painful Lesson: Always 'Show and Tell' Your Product Before You Develop It
What you have made isn't a real product in my honest opinion, so it is understandable why you feel this way. You need to make it better and I think you have a chance.

Nice tool, will check it out. I had to go through a painstaking trial and error process to generate valid and deterministic JSON for my AI presentation tool called Slide Genie (
https://slidegenie.vercel.app/). The hard part was making it work when temperature > 0.

on: Increasing abstraction is directly proportional to decreasing software quality
Yes, this was my observation, but I see a pattern with the modern engineering workflow. It's convoluted. What could be done with basic npm scripts is now Webpack, so another abstraction that the beginners have to smash their head against, all in the pursuit of making a basic todo app. Not lying, I use these tools myself, but I try to survey a technology before using it. I ask myself the questions a) is it stable, by looking at any major GH issues and b) can I do it better natively and do away with using a library.

on: Increasing abstraction is directly proportional to decreasing software quality
OOP is for helping to "engineer" software with hierarchies. What I referred to is framework/library level abstraction. Referring to Hipsters. Hard to scale, bad software, because one doesn't know the underlying technologies they're using. I mean, I am not saying use C, but try to do it natively. Most people use underscore because of some functions that are easily doable in vanilla.

on: Why Deep Learning Cannot Be Applied to Natural Languages Easily
Whenever you do /anything/ your brain may be selecting from a probability distribution over things that can be done immediately.There is no concrete evidence that the brain does math. If the brain did select things from a probability distribution, then why isn't everyone a math genius.
No one really knows how it works.

on: GitHub: Fake News Detector
a) Yes, it is not, bad naming, but can probably be used to create one, like a Chrome extension.
b) No. It's not one man's opinion. 68 people are actively editing it.
I can also verify lots of bullshit sites like Collective Evolution that I myself know about, and is on this list.
c) Show me evidence of one fake news posted by the BBC ?

Yeah but it could be used to build one. Also, disagree with it being 'my bias'. It's not my list. Many working on it.

Nice idea with Jasonette, but it only works for UI rendering, nothing more complex beyond that, right?
