magicjosh··on I made my first web0 website today. It's so cool it just works
IPFS is still super slow, but can work well for raw HTML sites like this. For example http://vitalik.eth.link is hosted on IPFS. It's a simple text blog and is pretty fast.
magicjosh··on What Problem Blockchains Solve
I would like to read a more thorough and thoughtful analysis of this perspective.

Am I indeed inside the bubble of a giant pyramid scheme? If so, what does that say about me and my judgement?

On the flip side, what if all this blockchain/Bitcoin/web3 stuff is the next big thing? Does it mean HN has passed its prime and innovative people at the cutting edge move elsewhere? I wonder what someone like Brian Armstrong from Coinbase would say, being in both worlds.

The OP article itself is banal, it reads like a high school book report. How is this at the top of the ranks?

From "Hacker News: Welcome" [0]: "HN is an experiment. As a rule, a community site that becomes popular will decline in quality. Our hypothesis is that this is not inevitable—that by making a conscious effort to resist decline, we can keep it from happening."

magicjosh··on The only hedge against inflation is quality
This seems like one of those GPT3 articles assigned to take a quote about "quality" and shoehorn it into a narrative about recent stock prices. For those who upvoted what did you like about the article?

Actually is there any kind of GPT3 detector algorithm? Would be interesting to run it against article and get a score.

magicjosh··on Painful Lessons Learned Building a Blockchain Game in 3 Weeks
Sounds like they enjoyed the process of building it. I would have appreciated more points at the end about recommendations for building.

The takeaways #1 and #2 at the end are about marketing. Sure, you didn't market it but who cares, was that the point? Either way I'm not interested in blockchain marketing. This is a learn by doing project.

Or are you trying to say the game is amazing? Seems like milliondollarhomepage on the blockchain.
