Echoing sibling comments to add that I know for a fact that archaeologists get rather upset about being mistaken for palaeontologists.

Presumably this sort of thing was rampant pre-internet? News outlets would _have_ to receive embargoed information so that they could publish papers on time. I believe government budgets are a good example of this happening. I think the weird shift was when online journalism started, and live reactions became the norm, no?

Human rights are routinely revoked from those that impede on the rights of others. This is the premise that underpins prisons. Privacy being a human right still holds true.

In principle I’d agree usually, but I think this specific case, it’s reasonable to highlight that the “experts get value” argument doesn’t really add much to the discourse anymore. We know this and you just need to look at what’s happening with LLMs in maths to see it’s true. It doesn’t add anything to the verification point however.

This is awesome, and exactly what I've been looking for recently.

Noticed the demo won't let me add spaces in table cells however.

> It doesn't take much to convince them that Google et al don't have their best interests in mind. They already know it and have experienced it.

I think with Apple in particular, this is the issue. Apple have largely demonstrated that they _do_ often have the users best interests in mind (or at least at some point have had) on the basis that the users are Apple’s primary customers. Yes, Apple lock down iOS functionality but this has often been to deliver innovative features. Users don’t mind that they’re in a walled garden because, they like the walled garden.

This is where Google is a different case. Google’s interests are aligned with mass data collection rather than products people love. Most Google users have experienced how this impacts them negatively at some point, usually with the degradation of their products, and constant advert spam.

Google is an example of a company that the mass majority assumes to be in the wrong. Apple often isn’t.

We can make an ETF out of this…

In most circumstances, I’d absolutely agree. For Art Galleries and museums, I’m far more inclined to be lenient. It’s art. It’s okay for the api to be characteristically vibes based. Especially because the downstream use-cases probably only really care if it’s something that’s been accessed “much”.

This looks great, and I’ve bookmarked to give it a go.

Any reason you’ve opted for custom markdown formats with the @ syntax rather than using something like frontmatter?

Very conscious that this would prevent any markdown rendering in github etc.

I love this. I’ve always considered doing something similar with a traditional recsys model.

The only feature I’d love to see, is there are many posts where I’m more interested in the HN comments, rather than the articles themselves. It would be great to see this incorporated somehow.

Awesome work though. Will bookmark!

I did. My idea has preceded me seeing that article for a while now, but reading that was definitely a push finally try it out.

Where I am, BPA receipts are banned, fortunately. Also making sure to buy BPA free alternatives.
