Can you elaborate as to why, actually? What specifically makes this the case

Why not use an open source spreadsheet in javascript and html that you can host yourself? You can whip up whatever you want now with an LLM. And with JS it will save whatever you want in indexeddb or pouchdb and export to whatever formats l

No, you aren't supposed to put the chats on a blockchain. You're supposed to settle the micropayments (done over trustlines, state channels) to a blockchain. Here are the deets: https://qbix.com/ecosystem#Decentral

I am speaking in generalities, over years of experience seeing what gets downvoted and defended Web3 and blockchain - downvoted without engagement with substance Any criticism of AI - both downvoted and has a comment: “it was always like th

Perhaps now my response to Moxie Marlinspike from years ago is as relevant as ever, including for people on HN: https://community.intercoin.app/t/web3-moxie-signal-telegram... I guess Moxie “found out”, because being c

Ah, color me shocked that capitalism leads to enshittification over time. Why would people embed a for-profit third party platform in their Web 1.0 site and let them do whatever they want? Because they don’t have the software to do “social”

But notice how I got automatically heavily downvoted by merely mentioning legitimate downsides of AI

Most of my anti-AI takes are either: 1) Bad actors using AI at scale to do bad things 2) AI just commodifying everything and making humans into zoo animals

Why would selling your emails to the highest bidder be a bridge too far? Your ISP already could sell all the data they have on you that way…

No, you don’t get it. Hosting or possessing CSAM has criminal penalties even if no children were involved. For example AI generated imagery. In fact, even if zero children are ever trafficked or abused going forward, and pedophiles only use

So basically, it is what you should be doing with users of your apps too

Funny thing is Since neural networks are differentiable, they can be homomorphically encrypted! That’s right, your LLM can be made to secretly produce stuff hehe

“The only way around it is for the government to…” This isnt the only way at all As a technologically literate libertarian, I will say that word HN hates: “blockchain”. Yes, a lot that you think you need to place trust in large institutio

The real question is, why is TicketMaster allowed to strongarm venues into essentially perpetuating its monopoly forever?

This is good but I feel it can somehow be made better! I like the idea of motion revealing things out of randomness and screenshots are random. You can just take a screencast though hehe

Python’s “there should be one obvious way to do it” slogan often collides with reality these days too, since the language sprawled into multiple idioms just like C++: for printing you can use print("hi"), f-strings like f"hi

Exactly. I always tried to keep the dependencies to a minimum. Another thing you can do is lock versions to a year ago (this is what linux distros do) and wait for multiple audits of something, or lack of reports in the wild, before updatin

It’s right there in the name: Chat Control . Take them at their word! Look at Australia’s “hacking” bill. It was about letting the government hack (take over) your account and post as you. The “hacking” referred to ahat THEY would do — to
