Would be fun if it also worked the other way. A group of people could have their own secret language and dictionary.

Re: This word does not exist
#362Sorry to the author but this one doesn't pass the sniff test for me. Generally, the syllable breaks for these words are not quite correct. The two words that I got were Paulotomy and systerectomy. These were broken into Paulo-tomy and sys-terec-tomy. That generally goes against length-of-syllable-in-English rules that... I can't articulate. I would break these into pau-lo-to-my and sys-ter-ec-to-my (sys-trec-to-my wo…
Syllables should always have only one vowel (technically nucleus) in them, which means that the bogus "syllables" the website is producing can't be real syllables - that might be the rule that you can't articulate. However, the website actually does not use GPT-2 to produce the syllables, it uses the library "pyhyphen".
This library provides (misleadingly) a function claiming to create a list of syllables from a word, which does not actually do that and instead splits the word up by all possible hyphenation points - and not every syllable break gets or indeed should get a hyphenation point. (For example, you do not want to break up prefixes or suffixes during hyphenation.)

#364The word I got was "flink", which actually does exist, in German, it means 'nimble'.
Also exists in Danish, meaning "nice" when describing a person.

thiscrossworddoesnotexist could be fun and perhaps devilish.

Alright! Someone shilling on my behalf. Say what you want about NFTs, every time I see one of the homers sell it brings a big smile to my face.
Frankly, I'm mocking it. Or trying to. Riffing on it? NFTs strike me as obvious nonsense -- why not use all that energy for something more useful, like piping /dev/urandom to /dev/null -- but NFT sales of obvious nonsense, of an algorithmic corruption of an artistic representation of a shared cultural totem, are almost high art. Like, unpleasantly high art. Way too high art. Art that makes me want to go lie down for…
Lately HN feels like just recycled Matt Levine.

Ahh, and you've made the wise decision to NFTify the fucked up Homers! Nothing says "investment vehicle" like-- hey, wait a minute!! That's a fucked up Bart ! Good day , sir! [0] https://opensea.io/assets/0x495f947276749ce646f68ac8c2484200...

Given the rise of Loot and other text-based NFTs, you might want to NFTify this too. I know Loot does this by creating a URL with the text in it that points to a text image generator.

Which is a bad strategy as dictated by signaling theory [1]. There's nothing rare or costly about them when you can keep hitting refresh to get a new one. Instead, if there were only a few produced in the world, and you owning it give you some kind of status, then you'd have a real potential NFT. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_theory
It is worse. Anyone can own it. NFTs don't avoid copying, and they are in no way recognized as copyrighted material. Its like having a proof of ownership of a public good: worthless.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I just bought the NFT for the SF Golden Gate bridge, which surely means I own it.
The fellow who sold it to me said so.

It would probably be good if this had a filter applied to filter out words that already are defined.
