...and the Nvidia Shield.

"...came to widespread attention in the late 2000s..." Weird. I thought we were all living in the year 2026, which seems like the early 2000s to me. Huh...

Shuang1 · 2026-05-25T21:58:07 1779746287

I think it's pretty obvious that we refer to more recent times like this, e.g. 2000s, 2010s, 2020s.

hank808 · 2026-05-25T22:08:48 1779746928

Nope. 2000s would refer to the century. We're still in the 2000s and still early. The Wright brothers flew the first plane in the early 1900s. Accurate. Ford introduced the Model T in the late 1900s, inaccurate. 1908 was not the late 1900s.

It's all relative. In 2110 I'm sure 2026 will be referred to as "the early 2000s". But in 2026, ~2000-2010 is "the early 2000s".

hank808 · 2026-05-25T21:56:52 1779746212

I watched this until I saw the first down vote, 5 minutes later. Would anyone refer to the year 1909 as "the late 1900s?" Nope.

account42 · 2026-05-26T12:01:35 1779796895

In 1926 or now?

hank808 · 2026-05-25T21:36:01 1779744961

Ehhh. None of this sounds right. Translation problems maybe. Lack or technical detail understanding maybe... I don't know. Probably not news.

"Writerdeck' or simple word processor? They were first sold in the 1960s or 70s. Why? Buy, not build I'm thinking.

kibwen · 2026-05-23T20:10:23 1779567023

The author already had the hardware, better to not buy than to buy.

hank808 · 2026-05-23T20:23:14 1779567794

You're not gettin' the point. There's nothing here if you think about it for 10 seconds. Any ancient anything, could run vi, or vim, or Emacs, or friggin' wordstar, natively or via emulation or WHATEVER. There's nothing here.

You seem to be missing the entire point of the exercise and perhaps you should go back and read the article again to understand what you're missing.

hank808 · 2026-05-23T21:11:50 1779570710

Nopes. I'm strongly suggesting that we already had a frigging word for these things, that's also still valid AF today, and it's "word processor." Not f'n writerdeck or whatever. Dumb.

tonypapousek · 2026-05-24T00:02:29 1779580949

> valid AF

Nope. We already had a frigging phrase for that, and it’s “completely valid”, not “valid AF” or “cromulent” or whatever. Dumb.

Full title, that wouldn't fit into the HN submission box: 'FULL SHOW: After "Late Show" ends, Stephen Colbert hosts Monroe public access show'

hank808 · 2026-05-23T18:23:03 1779560583

Steven Colbert apparently can't take a day off. This is great! If you like him, you'll probably love this video.

Oh good! Training your AI on the human interactions between people at a failed company will lead to success, right? Great!

Very cool for anyone with flawless eyesight!

hank808 · 2026-04-20T02:56:47 1776653807

iLearningEngines? I guess we're all familiar with them and have thoughts and concerns about them. We don't. We're not.

Most records these days use CDs as masters, sadly.

hank808 · 2026-04-20T22:38:57 1776724737

No. A friend of mine worked at United Record Pressing. The majority of the masters they received from customers were commercial CDs. No special master.

Are you referring to the loudness wars?
