I absolutely love the approach, the code, and the motivation. Unfortunately, some things I read in the 'about me' page makes me worry about the author's future.
the page is somewhat sad. seems like an individual with a lot of forward looking and upbeat views on the world, but completely lacking a whole lot of perspective, some basic education regarding economics.
and well, the pedophilia thing.
he self-describes as non-competitive so probably doesn't care, but he could simply be so much more, as a person, and all the ingredients are there. but likely will waste away most of their life as a (in the best case) relatively benign weirdo.
but they are likely in a social situation where nobody will give them that perspective and education. and society certainly isn't set up to detect and help these people on its own.
I wonder why all the comments pointing this out are getting flagged. I don’t think it’s anything malicious, maybe an edge case in HN’s moderation system.
Anyway, I agree, excellent code, but I worry about this guy. His website(s) have a lot of worrying content - pro-pedophilia, misogynistic, racist, transphobic.
