Sure. The models are still not open source and should not be called open source.

As I said, for non-technical people, software en masse has always been difficult to learn and use. I don’t think it’s getting “worse” or that it was “good” back in my day.

I am adjacent to UX as a field, and, IMO, it’s in deep crisis itself. I don’t know when or how “ergonomics” in tech became “how to sit in front of a computer” and “design” became “…

As a non-technical person compared to the rest of HN, I think this has always been the problem of software made for non-technical audiences. The design was driven by programmers’ h…

There platforms like this. I subscribe to Nebula, for example.

Can you share how AI helps here? I am learning a bit of 3D modeling in Blender so I can mod games that I like (just for private use), I do get stuck sometimes on the silliest thing…

I see. Well, I already outlined why I thought the situation was happening — if you were trying to teach, I think you did it poorly and oscillated in your messaging from “this just …

I did, I didn’t have a problem understanding your goals as I said in one of the comments in the beginning: > I understand you were writing about your own process of filling the gap…

>I wouldn’t blink an eye to that And I said that, in my opinion, this is where your post failed to communicate what you intended to communicate and you have a crowd of “aktshually,…

No, that’s just rigorous writing. Rigorous pedagogical approach implies helping other minds to solve problems and obstacles with acquiring knowledge. Your approach results in coinc…

As I said in the comment above, I do enjoy it as well, what I am pushing back is calling it pedagogical approach or teaching. If you taught, you know that you and your mind don’t m…

Well, if it’s teaching, it’s not very good then as you don’t seem to know much about your supposed students struggles with learning this concept. You only know your own. E.g. the v…

Someone learning from your journey is not you teaching them. Teaching is a very particular skillset and craft, especially teaching languages. It should be grounded in a teacher’s o…

You don’t explain conjunction in such details as as well and it is not universally present feature in all the languages though. Writing about learning languages is tricky because y…

As an unrelated tangent, I love seeing it when the “thinking” in a native language leaks into the writing in another, I find it so endearing and intriguing. My French colleagues so…

I wonder what the author’s native language is as they seem to struggle with the concept of alternation. For me, the first half of the article could be removed and the learning coul…

I can image that because of motivation to sell his ideas and writing, he is in incentivized to sensationalize the research he refers too. Not that the author claims to be a scienti…

Oh god I love how quiet European trains are. I used to take trains a lot in my childhood and until my 20s in Ukraine. Sometimes trains were buzzing with voices during the day, espe…

I am autistic. I can’t even count the number of times I got into dangerous situations because of my crappy social skills when strangers chatted me up. I don’t know, maybe strangers…

Ah, I see, sort of like figuring out the boundaries of your knowledge base and seeing if you have missed any connections between concepts? I suppose it might be useful for learning…

Thank you for sharing! I don’t personally use Zettelkasten but I can see how it benefits from the visualization — the system itself is basically building a graph (cards are nodes a…

I always wondered what people use these maps for. Does it help you find things faster in your notes?

Because modern tech and modern tech support has a terrible UX in general built by engineers around their engineering heuristics. By the time a non-tech user reaches the point of se…
