That's fair, thanks for your thoughts.

> People are more powerful in life on the basis of their literacy

sometimes I feel it works the opposite way: I feel recently (in the last 5 to 10 years), the people who know less clamour forcefully for simplistic solutions, and end up being liked more, and being more successful. They can sometimes appear stronger and more genuine than people who know more, and therefore have more doubts (the more you know, the more you realize how much you don't know...)

Thanks a lot for the recommendations, that's useful, I will definitely have a look at that.

Yeah, that's fair.

Thanks for your thoughts. I am curious to hear more about how AI did not help in your math project, if you are happy to share. Also curious to why you think in some cases it seems to help[1], and others it does not (your case).

I also definitely notice how the value of capital keeps increasing, while the value of labour stagnates. I think your advice about making money now is absolutely fair. I strongly dislike that this is the case (it feels like it's leading to a world with little meritocracy, and little improvements), but I guess, yeah, we have to accept the reality as it is.

Regarding why I am home-schooling, there are a lot of small reasons. I guess in a short summary, there was no school where my kid was happy within a 30 minutes drive radius, where I live. I am not against school at all (I have other kids at school), but we tried several in his case and that was a strong failure.

Yes, that makes sense. I am trying to think about what the alternative is, but I also don't see it.

Fair enough, but I fear the necessary foundational knowledge becomes smaller and smaller as LLMs get better.

I hope indeed that AI stays at the shallow end. I dread a world where that's not the case, because then I think it will be a little harder to find purpose.

Fair enough. I have often the same feeling with chess though: the fact that computers are so much better than any human removes a little something to me.

Yes, I did it in the same day.

But I am surprised that they are technically able to do that. My impression was that Apple had locked down this kind of things. Clearly not.

Any random ideas as to how they can technically fingerprint the device, and therefore how I could avoid it?

Great heads-up.

This whole ego-inflated saga is mind-blowing to me. It feels like something is seriously wrong with our system.

Maybe this is the right idea : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36403974 Correlating profits to the Common Good... Definitely makes sense to me.

Well, I am under the impression that even a static page can have security flow, because of this article : https://medium.com/cyberdefendersprogram/making-your-jekyll-...

I think it might not concern a website hosted on github pages, but I wanted to confirm that with people more knowledgeable than me on the matter.

Ok, thanks. And it should be very secure, even if I never update it, right? Github pages automatically updates gems for you?

Ok, thanks. I will get a domain name for it, yes.

Ok, I will look into that. Thank you

Ok, good point. Thank you

Thanks

ok, thanks, I will look into that.

Ok, interesting. That is what I am considering. Any feedback on that? Do you feel it's worth it? Any tip?

Thanks for that. I am not sure I am ready for the jump from macOS to linux though. I will consider it, thanks for the pointer.

I do not have anything specific in mind, because threats are constantly evolving. I am clear that you can never be 100% safe. But I am looking to protect myself as much as is reasonably possible.

Thanks for that, I will look into these links.

I agree with your general point. I would just add that I personally feel too much of the blame is placed on the media companies. They should get some blame, but ultimately they are providing what the consumer wants.

I feel the consumers deserve a large part of the responsibility. Too few people want to pay for quality news, or even simply give their attention to quality news.
