Anyone can build a platform now. Almost nobody can get people to find it. ยท ClaudeFolio

๐Ÿš€ Read this must-read post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ“Œ **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: I want to start this post with an admission that's a little uncomfortable, which is that the platform I built specifically to help other people solve their distribution problem is itself struggling with exactly the same distribution problem I built it to solve. ClaudeFolio is live, the submissions feature works, the upvoting works, the design is clean, and the rules are exactly the rules I wanted them to be.

Under the hood it uses a bunch of really cool numbers for encryption. Some numbers are considered private and need securing; some are considered public and are fine for sharing. You can mix your numbers with other peopleโ€™s numbers in such a way that you can verify a chain of trust. Ultimately, at the top of this chain there has to be an…

๐Ÿ”ฅ Discover this trending post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ“Œ **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: I know the technology, I understand what it's doing and I know the impact, so I am vehemently anti-AI. I do not believe any positive outcome is possible with this form of AI that is worth the harms that it has already done and is continuing to do. Nor do I believe that โ€œjust one more model broโ€ will make something that is โ€œintelligentโ€. Of course โ€œAIโ€ is a marketing term so it doesn't mean anything, neither does GenAI or the latest buzzword โ€œAgenticโ€. This…
