This is a novel idea. Somewhere between the extremes of being useful vs being an overkill. More towards overkill because of its dependency on a new app/browser that needs to be installed. But I'm looking forward to more development on this idea, making it a production-ready automation.

Your post is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/shownew?next=46038606&n=61 third page of /shownew, at number 79 right now.
If you were expecting it to show up in the front page or in /show those get ranked on various "interest" factors. Your post has just a single point (the default submission point), which means people didn't find it sufficiently interesting and so it won't show up there. Sorry.
Noted. I can see it on the link you shared.
Earlier, I did check until the last page (90+ items) and did not find it. I then checked couple of more times thinking I made mistake. I see that you're using /shownew, I used /show link.

A simple word2vec embedding with continuous bag of words (CBOW) training is enough and beats all other complex solutions at rhe performance as well as cost

Claude team has been killing it with the new impressive releases since last week. And this one looks most promising.
Why is featured as #1 on the frontpage. I get it, nice piece of satire and a bit controversial. But it is not productive at all.

I dunno man, I migrated to the Netherlands and our digital ID is an amazing system that literally makes my life easier anytime i need to interact with something.
An open standard for the world to use for this seems like the ideal way you would want it to happen.
I also personally think we are going to need some form of digital id and hopefully some sort of attribute based credential implementation à la the DECODE project[1], where we can start raising the barrier of entry for all of these bot farms to require at least a felony in identity theft to start.
Curious what others opinions are :)

Does Decode project overlaps with Solid project (Sir Tim Berners Lee's project with similar objective)?
P.S. Thanks for sharing Decode, it looks good, I will be diving deeper into it this weekend. TIA.
