This is a very important concept and reminds me of the space shuttle's 5 computers mirroring each other when only 1 could suffice: "Absolute authority or unmitigated control vested in a single entity invites disaster. Distributing

I would be chasing altcoin revenue - those worthless things nobody wants. Hold those but encourage their spending too, with an app, is the road to riches in a world where one's IP can be immediately negated by a disgruntled robotic emp

Great point. I think the key is differentiating between "prompt generated" content vs "AI as a Topic" content and then being able to toggle them at will. I am not averse to prompt-generated content, but it should be mark

"One self-contained HTML file." That's a good idea. Would be great if people can use these apps once done. Also, leading up to the Round, can people submit tasks or ideas that people want to see built? Try to make it as relev

It's an interesting idea - like having a whiteboard that you use with C3PO whenever you interact with him. Screenshots would be good - a before and after comparison of how it's used. Another idea I had, is having a "just push

Yeah, I would move the top bar to the side as that is valuable real-estate for the news and I would also make the shifts instantaneous. See here: https://tinkeri.ng (use enter key) - note the layout-switcher top right About ful

OK. One final idea would be to have a single river-of-items in a readability presentation of full articles. No summaries, just scroll down or jump through each item. Best of luck with it, thanks.

Yep, then from that I would have an options panel to toggle only the things you want to see. The other thing I would do on AIbriefs is have spacebar shift the card-list viewport right to the top and hide the top-most card. This way reading

Yeah, long-term I also would look at building a viewport into the local-first Fediverse, which seems to look like an email client. https://gemini.google.com/app/5bf267d0285b01a1 And promote sharing through it.

I recently launched a hackers' blog aggregator at http://tinkeri.ng (note the layout switcher top-right) The thing about Tinkering is it's a place to pickup on people's passions. It's still important to be a

"As AI slop saturates the web, with the same token (pardon my pun), the economic value shifts entirely to an authentic human voice." In that respect, I'd be more than happy to read more direct quotes from Gemini and then read

It can be enraging. Checkout https://tinkeri.ng/ - I just added a layout-switcher "Neubrutalism" at top right. The existing theme is standard fare. Both look alright. I told C3PO to follow the guidelines set at h

Keyless entry using an "unpowered keypadded card key" is an application. A key needing a PIN to work is useless to a thief. If someone finds out your PIN, you quickly disable it on your car too. Regarding robotaxis: "The side

I don't know a lot about this area, but I like the [1 doge = 1 doge] thing where people completely stop thinking about dollars and crypto-to-fiat conversion. The card can work with Lay-buy/lay-by: _____ You go into a store, pick s

Yep, good point. Another interesting use case would be using the card as part of a crypto escrow. The problems being solved here are: - walking around with a device that can access a large wallet that could be accessed under duress or coerc

"The card never actually transmits a message back to your phone. Instead, it changes how much energy it absorbs from the field, and your phone detects those power dips and converts them to binary data. Most NFC tags use this harvested

Population density is the problem/challenge I think more so than absolute population. For cobbled villages, there are farms in Japan that use Yamamoto Transport to move fresh produce across the country overnight, cheaply, and now acros

So when you sign up for a CC the address is used by the bank/institution, but when you tell a merchant they don't even cross-check with the bank... ever? They'd have to, otherwise what's the point in asking for it? Maybe

Yep, attempted signing up to Claude recently, wanted cc number, name and address directly on site. No paypal. Wow. In the end my card was rejected and I couldn't even sign up. Wow++. Increasingly, I'm seeing crypto as the best thi

Great point. The unique thing about HTML apps is that there could be a "directory download" of say the best 1000 apps every month for people to run locally with imports also downloaded and security audited beforehand. That would b

No probs. Yes. Ideally that box would be in a sidebar. On that note: Gemini Chat Sidebar, Sidebar with Gemini and the official Gemini in Chrome all come to mind, for example. Also, have you seen these: https://greasyfork.org&#x2F

At the moment, there is a toggle switch between own proxy and direct (requiring CORS Unblock extension,) but really having multiple methods can work. Other mentions were using a CloudFlare worker proxy (needing Cloudflare account and Node.j

It's a good idea. Also just getting the top few comments of a video grants ketchup without any inference. Have you seen DeepMark... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49288896 ? Looks well done - people may bookmark
