Before people get up in arms about iA patents, see this tweet where they announced that they're dropping their patents pending: <a href="https://twitter.com/iA/statuses/416393539182796800" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/iA/statuses/416393539182796800</a><p>That aside, this is pretty cool. I'm not sure if I'd ever use it, but it would be cool to see a vim plugin that offers similar functionality.
See <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6966528" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6966528</a>. This is pretty much the best response I can imagine.
Couple of `git` points: why are you committing binaries to your master branch? Personally, I also won't be moving anything from a random git repo into /usr/local/bin...
That's <i>natural language</i> syntax, BTW. And just part-of-speech tag info at that, not full-on syntax-tree-aware stuff. Still, cool. Didn't know OS X had that stuff built-in.
What's the point here? Is this a demonstration of prior art? Or is it just demonstrating that a patent's technology is easily re-implemented?<p>Because if it's the latter, that doesn't really prove anything. Patents are to protect technologies/inventions that are far easier to produce after invention than before. That's the <i>good</i> part of a patent, when the patent system works as designed.<p>If it's a demonstration of prior art though, that's pretty cool - it might help to make it more obvious, though.
