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]:{valu…

Buffalo buffalo.

Good work, the github repository is also clean and easy to follow.

May I ask : What is the size of the live model of the website, in MByte ? (or maybe it would be nice to add that info in the README, just to have an idea)

Also, would be interesting to see how it compares to the recent GPT-2 (https://github.com/openai/gpt-2)

NN-generated text has this really weird uncanny valley feeling to it, where the words are well organized but there’s no cogent thesis or point to be made. I feel like I might be reading schizophrenic ramblings. No point here necessarily, this stuff is fascinating but creeps me out. Words from generated comments (using this website) are organized in a way that cause me to second guess my own reading comprehension abil…

Interesting that is what I felt without being able to put words on it.

When you read the text's beginning it feels like real text but after reading some sentences you feel something is way off. And it's abit creepy.

> Smoke seen for miles as SpaceX Crew Dragon suffers anomaly at Cape Canaveral

The problem is that it was a sign of an unstable airplane, as in the case of the original comets. The only way to protect it is with the helium and oxygen and liquid nitrogen.

I don't really care, but I can see no reason to be afraid to do that.

For the first 10 minutes there was a huge difference between the reported issue being a bug in the test software and the SpaceX failure.

The second time that happened was a second time to the SpaceX crew with their tests and another second time to the Space Shuttle team with their test suite. It was a different time to the launch of the test software, but that's it.

The two times the SpaceX crew did that, the first time they did this, they would have to run their tests with a new test/test suite.

I am wondering if it's the first time the SpaceX crew received a test suite with the mission at all.

I was always in the Space Shuttle business and they had a shuttle that would burn and land the crew on a very low orbit and then use it to do the launch. They were pretty upset that if they ever came back to space, they would probably still be at SpaceX, at least for the rest of my life.

I find it strangely realistic. When I skim it kinda sounds like HN. You have to actually read to suspect anything. If I was a bit mischievous I might actually post one of these in the other article.

So how is this done?

> pace.js : pacemaker controller software implemented in javascript

out

> Looks interesting, although I'm still waiting for a way to make my own pacemaker using Javascript

> For anyone else who wonder what the fuss is with the pacemaker API, I wrote a library that was ported to iOS, Android and the iOS platform back in 2012. It was a very fun way to play with pacemakers in iOS. The codebase is just small so any time you try to use it on your Android or iOS device, you want to check it out and watch your progress. The idea is to add a couple of API calls to the iOS code to access pacemakers, then use another library to access the pacemaker software on your iOS device. This is the kind of thing that makes the browser a bit better. This way you can use the API to do everything you want via a browser widget, and then use the API to generate pacemaker apps.

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

Did you just...respond with a comment generated by the site about its own title? Or is this a real comment that I just don't understand.
