It may be a Claude specific thing. I tried to ask Claude to various tasks in machine learning, like implement gradient boosting without specifying the language, thinking it will use Python since it is the most common option and have utilities like Numpy to make it much easier. But Claude mostly choose Javascript for the language and somehow managed to do it in JS.

Paper enables non-vision based(scroll bar) random access to content, when you keep going back an forth between two pages, it is very annoying on all current devices except paper. Vision pro/VR/AR or a particular multi-screen set-up can achieve that, but so far all alternatives are not as good.

For me bookmarking does not mean that I want to read the article, it usually mean that I think it may be useful for certain task in the future want it to be in my search result some times. Since sometimes I want to read in depth about something that I read briefly long ago, it is really hard for me to find it back.

'source available' also implies the case the source is only available upon request. e.g. Microsoft provided the full source code of Office to China, it is also "source available".

I don't consider the comments helpful as well, but quite contrastively, because of the over optimism.

Lots of the comments contribute the failure to quite a few reasons, and emphasize on the effect of the reasons. But the real thing is this actually can imply that the failure can be narrow down to "a few simple obvious fixes".

To me it make me feel good since "a bad title" can be a very simple excuse to think that "what if I fix that, things would get better" and ignore more problem in depth.. Since I can never go back in time and retry it in the exact same setting.

Things like "It's OK, you have tried your best" is the real negativity to me, since it implies that I have reached the best I can do in potential/capacity, and can be quite discouraging. But it is quite helpful sometimes since I can recogonize my limits and try to improve myself or pivot.

So the questionis: how to determine the meaning of the words?

A. If you mean that there is some authority that can do that, what authority other than a dictionary?(not rhetorical question)

Alternatively, B. if you mean that there shouldn't be any authority that can define the meaning of the word. In this way you can't stop people to understand it as it's literal meaning and blame them.

I think people just don't understand that end user API design is a user preference thing, not a universal thing... And exposing what kind of level on a hardware is just the same as API design... And some people just keep having the ideas of "I'd like API to be like A, so there wouldn't be possible any people liking another API B..."

“Open Source” is in the name only.

Hard to imagine this can be upvoted to this high.

"Open Source" just means that the source code is open, not closed.

Some people just like the source code to be open (e.g. for security reasons to examine the source code.).

It is just as simple as that.

Interesting that you call them "fixer"s, but the point to "fix" is that the meaning is not the same and they want to change it right? If they are the same, why would they have the incentive to "fix" it?
