Probably none, just got into HN's spam filter. When you have enough points you can vouche for it and if enough people do it gets reinstated, which is exactly what happened.


Cryptographically blinded age verification with a government signed digital ID


I don't know how old your kids are and if they play video games with friends, so maybe they're too young for this to begin with.

Do you give them some kind of additional time budget that they can manage themselves over a longer period? There are things that you can do on a screen that just take more time than one hour at once, especially when you're playing with friends (or even learning something by programming etc.).


Most screens have distractions just one tap away.

Personally I also like the physics of a book a lot more for reading. Every book is a physically different object. You physically turn the page. You can physically see how far you are in the book. It's just all much less abstract and tangible.


> Most screens have distractions just one tap away.

What? I guess you mean the mobile and tablet world... And even then I'm pretty sure that's bullshit, there is surely a pdf viewer without adverts


> this is not how the model should behave

It's exactly how it should behave, without any prior overriding of system prompts.


How much of this page did you write yourself?


Honestly, hard to say.

I gave it a ~2 min voice-to-text about my concept for the memo and, after retrieving relevant context via MCP—(1) my core context (claude.md, user.md, memory.md, etc. equvalents), (2) all contexts in my library from nearly a decade of writing about knowledge management, (3) knowledge of the Github repo for the project, and (4) Karpathy's post—it generated about 99% of the post (I changed a link and some formatting). That wouldn't have been possible without years of context, but this post was very much generated from such.

The beauty of the system is that knowledge, clarity, etc. compound.


If you didn't write it, why should I or anyone read it?

This is AI slop. Opposed to your claim there is nothing clear about that page. It's really sad how ShowHN is spammed with slop that drowns out people's work. Please stop being part of that problem.


While I can understand your distaste of AI slop and appreciate your feedback, if by your own admission you haven't read it, then it's hard to see your designation of my content as slop as justified. I welcome your feedback. If you choose to read it or review it with whatever AI agent you have created to help you synthesize, but I won't push you to do so if that's not something you feel called to do.


I started reading it and found it to reek of AI slop. I couldn't figure out what I'm even reading about and found the text to be unstructured or mis-structured. It also seems to contain a lot of formatting mistakes making me believe that you didn't even care to proofread it.

Sorry to be so blunt, but I have no tolerance for AI a slop. ShowHN is for showing something you built with a lot of care, that people can try out. That can be an AI product. But it cannot be an AI slopped text post pitching your product.


The models are designed to be these fake positive corpospeak yes man assholes by fake positive asshole corporations.

Mirroring real human text is only the basis of training. Afterwards they get aligned a.k.a. lobotomized.


I just found out that in Marshallese hello, bye and love are all the same word: iọkwe

It literally translates to iọ from iia – rainbow and kwe – you: you are a rainbow.

iọkwe


You can use labels for contact scope.


You might want to read my comment again. :) If you use labels, the app will have full access to the associated contacts, not just to their names & phone numbers.


So it's not about labels, but you want the ability to restrict the fields an app has access to rather than an all or nothing – full access to a contact or none at all?


Precisely!


I'm annoyed at everyone who shares my name, phone number and any other details with Meta. I never consented to it. The behavior of their app slurping up your contacts database is despicable.

This doesn't answer your question, but in case it helps for others out there: it's possible to use WhatsApp with no access whatsoever to your contacts and I used it that way for years. Connecting with people is slightly jankier but it still works.


> it's possible to use WhatsApp with no access whatsoever to your contacts and I used it that way for years.

Yeah, that's what I do right now.

> Connecting with people is slightly jankier but it still works.

Without GrapheneOS's contact scopes, how exactly do you do that? Doesn't the other person have to message you first?


I think the key is whether they expect their underlings to be more formal or if it actually goes both ways.
