Hi everyone,

Thanks for your contributions to the community. I hope you like this more in the future. I was able to post a link to the blog post I just posted in the last few weeks and it has helped a lot.

I believe it will help to create a community so more people can use Hacker News to connect with interesting people. I think it also helps people get better at finding cool stories on their own instead of doing it themselves.

If I recall correctly HN has been a "mersy" forum for many years already.

Wow! Now we have the option to merge the whole HN community, even better.

I could do better with the Ad-lib library I wrote as a freshman in High School. At least those generated comments where coherent. The garbage that is being generated here is an incoherent mess. Deep learning is going to be another blow against the AI community like in the 80's when expert systems didn't pan out. Once ML is well understood a few well defined algorithms will replace all the buzz, just like expert systems.

ML as we know it today is not going to usher in Sky Net.

For the title "AI personal tutor for Auto-Didacts" this gives: ---------------- > This seems to fit the trend of people using AI as a tool as much as possible to save time. > If you want to save time, just don't try to do something about it. A good AI's ability to reap more benefit is not measured in dollars/days of training per se, but rather, a more accurate one. > Wow -- this is really interesting, I was expecting…

Once you stopped using the quote symbol, I thought it was your comment and spent too long trying to understand it as such.

Yeah, that's why put the result in between two lines. HN can have at least a bit better text-editing support though.

Getting some interesting syntax ideas from the headline "rust version 3.2 released":

----------------------------------

"For example, let's say a function is like this in C++.

- a function that has a string of type (value: value: value: value, value, value: value) - a function that returns an address in C++'s form: value: value: value: value: value[value:user]:{value[user]:}], value = value[user]}}: value[user]:{value[user]:}}

I'm still not quite clear on what does this mean to me. In Rust, you have a function that returns a value: value, value, value = value[user-]: value[user-]: value[@@"

This is really useful.

Some suggestions:

1. Add a "Download this site's CSS" field so it can't just be a "Show HN". The "Show HN" button should be a red flag.

2. "If the site is a startup, we can always add some comments to the title." That's one reason I'm not using http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
