About yoaviram

Human Rights Activist, Author, Philosopher.

Founder of ConsciousDigital.org, a nonprofit organization creating people-centered digital initiatives promoting and advancing digital human rights.

Check out YourDigitalRights.org, a free and open-source service that helps people regain control of their online privacy by automating the process of sending data deletion requests to organizations and then providing guidance on how to ensure that requests are resolved favorably.

I am currently working on a book that explores the science and philosophy of Time Travel, from Einstein’s relativity to quantum mechanics and multiverse theories. It shows how these ideas transform time travel from playful fiction into a lens for understanding the very nature of time itself. Check out timetravelbook.com.

    Ask HN: Is Anthropic Enshittifying Claude Code?

    Based on my personal experience, and from reports by others on HN, it seems that Claude Code has massively regressed over the past two weeks. This appears to be a combination of bo…

    I've been using GSD extensively over the past 3 months. I previously used speckit, which I found lacking. GSD consistently gets me 95% of the way there on complex tasks. That's ama…

    Yesterday I wrote a post about exactly this. Software development, as the act of manually producing code, is dying. A new discipline is being born. It is much closer to proper engi…

    Essentially what this article is asking for, in most cases, is a better UI/UX for one of the foundation models.
