Most (ly Dead) Influential Programming Languages (2020)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-26 21:50:56

The other day I read 20 most significant programming languages in history, a “preposterous table I just made up.” He certainly got preposterous right: he lists Go as “most significant” but not ALGOL, Smalltalk, or ML. He also leaves off Pascal because it’s “mostly dead”. Preposterous! That defeats the whole point of what “significant in history” means. So let’s talk about some “mostly dead” languages and why they matter so much. Disclaimer: Yeah not all of these are dead and not all of these a

Hierarchical Modeling (H-Nets)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-02 10:35:15

The best AI architectures in use today treat all inputs equally. They process each input with the same amount of compute, without explicitly grouping related inputs into higher level concepts. While these architectures have achieved impressive results across domains, this lack of hierarchy has some fundamental limitations. Models have difficulty learning from high resolution, raw data, requiring inputs to be pre-processed into meaningful tokens for strong performance. The use of hand-crafted p

Iconic NASA Probe That Visited Pluto Could Go Dark Thanks to Trump Cuts

On July 14, 2015, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft flew past Pluto, revealing unprecedented close-up views of the complex icy world. The iconic mission is still returning data from the far reaches of the solar system, but a lack of funding now threatens to end the mission prematurely. As NASA celebrates the 10th anniversary of the historic Pluto flyby, the space agency is also bracing for budget cuts that threaten the historic New Horizons probe.

My Favorite Way to Make Cauliflower Takes Less than 15 Minutes

Corporate inadequacy has rendered my favorite rediscovered gadget useless

I went for a run this morning while holding my iPhone, which was connected to a cable that attached to my earbuds. I’ve exercised with wired headphones for years, but today, the cord, with its persistent jostling, was especially distracting. That’s because I was previously running with a pair of Bluetooth earbuds, EPOS’s GTW 270. They came out in 2021 for $200, and I received them as a gift. They typically sat in a drawer until this spring, when I started running outside (rather than in a gym o

The FBI's Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Had Nearly 3 Minutes Cut Out

Newly uncovered metadata reveals that nearly three minutes of footage were cut from what the US Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation described as “full raw” surveillance video from the only functioning camera near Jeffrey Epstein’s prison cell the night before he was found dead. The video was released last week as part of the Trump administration’s commitment to fully investigate Epstein’s 2019 death but instead has raised new questions about how the footage was edited and a

Could the Galaxy Z Fold 7 really be the world’s thinnest foldable after all?

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR A side-by-side comparison shows that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may actually be thinner than the Magic V5. HONOR claims the Magic V5 measures 8.8mm, while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures 8.9mm. The unique way the company measured the Magic V5 may explain the discrepancy.

Discoveries keep pouring out of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Researchers observed an unusual cluster, which they dubbed the Infinity Galaxy. It appears to support a leading theory on how some supermassive black holes form. Although "Infinity Galaxy" sounds like a place Thanos would hang out, it merely describes its appearance. Two compact, red nuclei, each surrounded by a ring, give the cluster the shape of an infinity symbol. What's inside is more interesting. (After all, this is a
