Its too bad Team Blind doesn't support a dev api to their auth service. Work emails are a good candidate for a simple "blue check mark" system for the HN crowd, but with a layer preserving anonymity. Ex. Generate a token, add to profile, browser extension performs verification.

Otherwise agreed with the sentiment.

Alfred hitchcock was ahead of his time.

I'm just disappointed in crypto. It was supposed to be internet currency, but became another meme stock instead. Maybe someday we'll be able to reboot it the right way so it can actually provide something of real value.

I too was in the market recently for a NAS, downgrading from a 12 bay server because of yagni - it's far too big, too loud, runs hot, and uses way too much energy. I was also tempted by the jonsbo (it's a very nice case) but prices being what they are it was actually better to get a premade 4 bay model for under $500 (batteries included, hdds are not). It's small, quiet, power efficient, and didnt break the bank in the process. Historically DIY has always been cheaper, but that's no longer the case (no pun intended)

I'm under the impression that AI is still negative ROI. Creating absolute value is different from creating value greater than the cost. A tool is a tool, but could you continue performing professionally if it was suddenly no longer available?

It's not exactly a science, it's the aggregate trend of many distinct players allocating capital where they think it will be most productive. AI isnt't "taking jobs", but it might be taking the capital that would otherwise go towards sustaining and growing headcount.

The current education system is going to collapse. Teachers and students alike won't be able to resist the ultimate cheat code.

Schools need to become tech free zones. Education needs to reorient around more frequent standardized tests. Any "tech" involved needs to be exclusively applied towards solving the supply and demand issue - the number of "quality teachers" to "students per classroom."

I admire Karpathy for advocating common sense, but none of this will happen because SV is full of IQ realists who only see "education" as a business opportunity and the bureaucratic process is too dysfunctional for common sense decisions to prevail. The future is chrome books with GPT browsers for every student.

Fantastic - you can improve on the realism in the next iteration by simulating voting based on comment alignment. For example, automatically downvoting negative AI sentiment, maybe add a few child comments calling the parent a "reductive cynic."

VPN?

That's a hell of an endorsement by the French govt. I use GOS as a daily driver and it's fantastic - it's what android was supposed to be before it enshittified. It's refreshing to feel like i control my smart phone again and not the other way around.
