I'm pretty sure it was because kids are assholes. And because it's easy to pick on outsiders. The class had 20 white kids and 3 black ones, obviously they're going to be singled out by the 7 year olds.

Anyway, this was before progressive meant seeing everything through the lens of race, so it definitely wasn't that.
Any hope of putting up a gist on pastebin?
> IIRC some countries actually rolled out ivermectin at scale, but AFAIK, the studies have all been disappointing in terms of its effectiveness.

Oh it's even worse than that. Argentinian study concluded that those who received ivermectin over placebo ended up on a respirator sooner[0]:

> The mean time from study enrollment to invasive mechanical ventilatory support (MVS) was 5.25 days (SD ± 1.71) in ivermectin group and 10 days (SD ± 2) in placebo group, (p = 0.019).

I used to read the articles about the YC batches and the launch threads here, hoping for many of them to succeed and be interested in the various ideas. But later years I've stopped. First reason is because it's so damn many. If all of them had a launch thread here on HN it would probably be more than one a day.

Secondly because so many of them now feels like "X for Y". Or just X in a new geography.
This.

The entire point of the article is to highlight what was an unexpected, unanticipated, and most unfortunate AI error. This is a learning experience, pun intended.

"This tool provides teachers an opportunity to examine their actions, beliefs, and values around teaching mathematics. The framework for deconstructing racism in mathematics offers essential characteristics of antiracist math educators and critical approaches to dismantling white supremacy in math classrooms by making visible the toxic characteristics of white supremacy culture (Jones and Okun 2001; dismantling Racism 2016) with respect to math. Building on the framework, teachers engage with critical praxis in order to shift their instructional beliefs and practices towards antiracist math education. By centering antiracism, we model how to be antiracist math educators with accountability."

Not relevant to NFTs, but had an amusing test result with it the other day:

The prompt I gave it:

"""
1. Create a list of names of stupid people.
2. Create a list of names of smart people.
"""

The result: (Note that the OpenAI API gave me a warning that it was returning potentially "unsafe" results)

stupid_people = ['Donald Trump', 'Boris Johnson', 'Vladimir Putin']
smart_people = ['Barack Obama', 'Xi Jinping', 'Angela Merkel']

Anyway, had a good laugh at this, mainly because of the biases of the internet's content and how that influenced the model.

Regardless, it's an amazingly powerful tool for certain tasks. One of the things I've been blown away by is it's ability to generate pretty phenomenal descriptions of a function, and then some random things I threw at it like pasting in a function/class, putting a line of text below that says "add type annotations to the above code" and sure enough it does it almost perfectly, and will add a solid docstring to boot.

Edit:

Forgot to add that I'm already leveraging it for certain tasks, and find it to be a tool that is making me faster and more productive at a lot of menial coding tasks.
People who protect their privacy have advantages over people who don’t.

If data is the new petrol, and we all are the source, why they expect us not only to give it free but to pay the extraction fee?
Wikipedia would seem to disagree:

> “ However, use of NetBus has had serious consequences. In 1999, NetBus was used to plant child pornography on the work computer of a law scholar at Lund University. The 3,500 images were discovered by system administrators, and the law scholar was assumed to have downloaded them knowingly. He lost his research position at the faculty, and following the publication of his name fled the country and had to seek professional medical care to cope with the stress. He was acquitted from criminal charges in late 2004, as a court found that NetBus had been used to control his computer.”

I’m not trying to be contentious or combative, but what makes these people/trends far-left?

(Absolutely agree about how people dismiss «attractive» women as not possibly being autistic tho, it’s both sad and infuriating)
You can drive sober every single time and still come out positive on a drug test or weed, they can't screen for active intoxication only evidence of metabolites.
> The video, dated June 27, 2020, was by The Daily Mail and featured clips of Black men in altercations with white civilians and police officers. It had no connection to monkeys or primates.

Huh. All the other incidents the NY Times article mentions come with links, but this one (that the article is ostensibly about) doesn't. Odd.
Obviously women have the right to decide whether they want to continue to be pregnant or not. Everyone has an absolute right to bodily self-determination.

Obviously a fetus, like any other human at any age, has an absolute right to life. This right is not subject to the approval of the mother. It is arguably less strong than the right to life of a postnatal child due to the presumably more limited nature of the fetus's subjective experience, but if you think there is a moral difference between killing a newborn baby and killing a fetus a day before it is due, the forces that hold you in that position probably have more to do with cultural commitments than reason.

Nature puts two individuals' most fundamental, absolute rights into conflict with one another. It's a tragedy. At the moment, the least worst resolution available to us is to try to find the line before which the mother's right to bodily self-determination outweighs the fetus's right to life. This is an impossible task, because it's impossible to know the subjective experience of another sentient being.

Virtually everyone in the modern US responds to this situation by favoring either the mother or the fetus and discounting or outright denying the rights of the other party. I think it's time for us to move past that and seek to remove the rights conflict by developing technology that allows women to choose to end their pregnancies, without also ending the lives of their fetuses.

I mostly talk to liberals, and most of them push back on this idea at first. I point out to them that replacing abortion with access to technology and services that make it possible for women to end their pregnancies without killing the fetuses inside them would take much of the wind out of the sails of the American right. I also point out that, politics aside, it would actually be morally preferable to universal access to abortion, because it would not require killing fetuses, which actually do have a right to life.

Finally, I point out that liberals are unlikely to win the abortion issue in any other way. Their opponents aren't just going to get old and die. Young people choose to be pro-life all the time. This is because fetuses actually do have a right to life.

I think India pushed it pretty hard. And Japan is now, so that will be interesting to see.

Is the Ivermectin in the horse product different from the human version?

Or does the FDA just have higher standards for animal v human products and no one knows if the line making the horse product is clean and free of things like benzene (industrial solvent, liquid cancer, that sometimes makes it into products, sunscreen most recently)?
But that isn’t the overall propaganda in the media. The media is painting it as only an animal dewormer.

Look at the discourse around Joe Rogan. One of the drugs he took was ivermectin. That’s all the media talks about and they call it horse dewormer when it was prescribed by a doctor. They don’t mention monoclonal antibodies or z-pak or drip vitamins. The propaganda is crazy.

And yes he is a fool for not getting vaccinated. But once he got covid and he was getting worse he took every single drug he could.
Par for the course with Axios. Their articles never say anything. They give the appearance of providing information with their bullets points and ‘why it matters’ sectioning, but it’s really the journalistic equivalent of cotton candy.
What exactly is the goal of the 'woke' as it pertains to race or gender? If success to them looks like an equal number of white/black/asian/women it's an unreachable goal. According to the 2020 census: 57.8% of Americans are white, 16.3% are hispanic, 12.2% are black, and 5.9% are asian. It seems as plain as day that even if we could remove racism from the equation, it's more likely that whites will make up more share than others. As far as women in tech for example, yes there are very few of them. But is that because we discourage girls from getting into tech or simply because they, as a group naturally gravitate towards other kind of work? Nobody complains that there are too few men in nursing or too many women in nursing (my wife is in a nursing program and it is dominated by female students.) As of 2010, 14.4% of active duty US military personnel are women, 30% are minorities. What exactly is their definition of 'success'? In my mind it's equality of opportunity. I don't care what color your skin is or what gender you are - are you the best candidate from a 'doing the work' perspective. To me that should be the goal.

Should qualify that with effectiveness in reducing the length of active covid disease and amount of viral shedding rather than as a preventative. Looks like a promising study though if it passes muster, can be replicated and like you say isn’t horse dewormer!
Wow, surprising Saenz v Roe occurred when Shapiro v Thompson had already been decided.

But, yeah, all these cases make any state with improved welfare benefits a migration target for unproductive people. Classic game theory situation.
Companies have the right to operate their service however they choose provided it's not illegal or discriminatory.

Yes, but if the licenser, places restrictions on a forum they control, on the distribution of the source or object forms, then can the licenser really say they aren't restricting the rights of people who come in possession of the source to distribute source and object forms of the work.

downstream oses are licensees of the source as much as they are licensers, they have to obey the gpl and not do anything to prevent people from conveying the source and object forms of the work.
I brush my teeth after every meal, but used to floss before going to bed. Sometimes I'd be too tired and it was easy to justify skipping flossing. So instead, I started doing it after brushing after my evening meal. Much easier!
I agree that people seem to be too focused on the Horse part given that it is approved for and used by humans. Same thing with Ketamine though and it is still mostly referred to as a Horse tranquillizer. I think at it's core though I think the derogatory nature is similar to making fun of the drunk asshole who ate dog food at a party. It's not deemed fit for human consumption, and sure the manufacturer isn't intentionally trying to poison your dog with bad food, but it still wouldn't have the same level of quality control.
> As a "principle" you could write everything you said above but substitute racial, gender, or sexual orientation discrimination...

Although the law disagrees with me, I'd say the same thing to them too. I do think it is unfair that GoDaddy might choose to boot me for my political beliefs but would get in to legal trouble for booting an LGBT group.

I see perfect parallels between GoDaddy expelling this site vs. GoDaddy expelling a site for LGBT advocacy. Both are stupid actions for GoDaddy to take, but both should be legal options.
Is this supposed to be a sarcastic argument against the merit lottery?
I hope the abrupt "Long Blockchain!" at the end was generated rather than added in afterwards. Though that might enhance the hilarity.
I said “only” in relation to the myth that hundreds of unarmed black men were being shot by the police. I’m not saying 13 is good, but it’s objectively better than more than 13. There was a poll some months ago, which I can’t find, that asked people with different political beliefs to estimate how many unarmed black men were killed by police in the previous year and the liberal and progressive left had outrageous numbers. These are the same people watching the mainstream media constantly pushing the narrative that it’s open season on black men.
If everyone shared their pronouns than trans people wouldn't be singled out. Besides, the primary beneficiaries are trans people who don't "pass", including nonbinary people like myself for whom "passing" is an invalid concept.

Listing your pronouns isn't hyper-identifying with your gender, it is merely identifying your pronouns so that other people don't get them wrong. Gender is complex territory that goes much deeper than pronouns.
As a teacher, I face the same situation. My roster says “Christine” but the student sets their name to “Chris” in the CMS and has traditionally masculine features, dress, and haircut. Do I go with “he” or “she”? Best to get pronouns out of the way during an introduction and dissipate the awkwardness.

Sometimes I wonder if people who have the biggest issue with displaying pronouns don’t meet a lot of new people, especially new trans people. Displaying pronouns makes the process so much easier and less awkward!

There aren't currently any actual features I'm missing; I find Next tends to get updated pretty promptly. I just remember at least one case where Webpack or React or something had a feature I wanted to use and there's always this question of "well but does it work in Next yet?", and there was a GitHub ticket for it but the answer was "not yet". Such is often the cost of using an all-inclusive framework.

As for the TypeScript types, there are just several parts that are not as thoroughly typed as they could be; there are some `any`s, and just yesterday I got bit by passing an invalid event name to router.events.on(). The first argument is typed `string` when it could have been a union type with the exact event names that are valid, which would have caught the error before it got to our QA environment. Just stuff like that.

I should note that we aren't on the latest version of Next, so it's possible the situation has improved. And assuming it hasn't, I've thought about submitting a PR myself with some improvements to the declarations.

Overall, though, it's a great framework!
Ask HN: What advice would you give about feeling stuck and helpless in a job
Hi HN,

I’ve worked in a company for 4 years. Prior to that I’ve worked at 3 other similar companies for similar amounts of time. About 12 YOE in my field in total. The company I’m in has a change of leadership at VP to director level around every 6 months. It’s quite draining but I enjoy what I do so I’ve put up with it. I’m a high performer get along with my team and those across the company and consistently get good reviews but was only promoted once. I’m also not based in the country where most of the team is.

Recently a new VP has taken over the dept. He is from a large tech company not saying which one as it’s not really about that. He has brought in his people at the level below him. Anyone that was there in that level already has been kicked out of his leadership team. His people are now hiring their people. It feels like this is going to continue to all the levels. Due to all the new hires my teams role and my own role has been diminished in importance and neglected to the point our existence is an open question. Honestly everyone here is a bit cynical as it feels like there’s no hope of further career advancement due to all the new hires at high levels. Even staying still will be difficult and I’ve got 3 kids with a 4th on the way due in late February.

I don’t like being the guy to throw in the towel but I don’t think I can contribute to this team anymore. My compensation is quite good and the difficulty of finding a match in level, pay and interesting work will be quite hard due to my location. I feel stuck if I’m being honest as my partner would like me to stay in the role just until our new child arrives and we are sorted but I just helplessness in it all.

Any advice from folks who have experienced something similar?

Thanks
Strangely the research in question "Ivermectin vs. Placebo for the Treatment of Patients With Mild to Moderate COVID-19" by the supposed researcher Eli Schwartz is shown as expecting results in September 2020 (i.e. a year ago), but no results have been posted.

I think it's possible, just barely possible, that when the results of a supposed random drug trial are available exclusively on YouTube, and are suspiciously absent from medical journals and government databases, you should treat the alleged "outcome" with extreme skepticism.
Nah, some of us now use the knowledge gained to defend against real threats.
I physically laughed.
I suspect that this is because op eds are deliberately drumming up rage.

Have you spent time with activist groups?
People already died from planking. And tide pods. People have been ongoingly dying from drinking bleach. People dying due to social trends isn't new though: perhaps more notable is that it's easier to know it's happening in an age of instant global communication, and since we all have quick and easy access to all the knowledge needed to avoid these entirely preventable outcomes.

The milk crate challenge on concrete is hardly different to any other dangerous behavior engaged in by (principally) young men: i.e. what's the difference really between this and say, street racing? Which has been a thing pretty much since car's became affordable to 20 year olds.

Are we even sufficiently social that young? I'd rather assume it's ill-defined. (How would you even test that?)

Calling it a horse dewomer is mostly political babble.

I've asked a physician about it and the answer as to why they were being taken was mostly because there was some faint evidence that it works and the likelihood of side effects weren't that high compared to covid.

To make it abundantly clear, I took the vaccine and I think you should too, but calling it horse dewomer is pure politics
I did some code for an O&G company a couple of years ago and was reasonably happy with pint,but barril looks like it might have been even better. The handling of dimensionless stuff like volume by volume was a point I was never quite happy with in pint.
> If you take the animal version, of course you would get sick just like taking the animal version of antibiotics.

I don’t know anything about this, can you clarify? I was under the impression that the drug is the drug. Amoxicillin for animals is definitely the same thing as the human version. I know for a fact in one case they come from the same place, because I toured a production line.
I highly doubt it works these days. For a while there was Cain and Abel (probably spelled differently) and a few other popular RATs running around.
One could argue that ending a human life is fact bad.

Kei Cars have been available and street-legal in the Canadian province of British Columbia for many years. The catch is that while you can get plates and insurance for your Kei Car (or truck) you will never get a dime of coverage in a collision. Kei Cars are dirt cheap, but they are throw-away vehicles, so to speak. Service? Lots of Asian-owned garages in the Vancouver area mean there are plenty of mechanics with Kei Car experience. Parts? Good luck with that. Travel? Very local, and don't even bother trying to cross the U.S. border with one.
> Knowing this, you felt for some reason it was necessary to argue with me, why?

I didn't see it as an argument, more like a conversation. I wanted to understand your opinions better. Your post mentioned several points I had never thought about before and it was interesting. Certainly made me rethink a few things such as offline software sources. I even agree with you that many of these differences are cultural and those are slow to change.

> The only reason I can think of is that you want to argue for the sake of some imaginary "undecided" reader, as a form of advertisement for Linux.

I don't do that. I'd rather Linux remained an obscure programmer's operating system, actually. I don't really care about the Linux desktop.
Knowing Parker, his quote was taken out of context and turned into a clickbait title. He would be the last person to tell you that YC is not at the very top of their game right now. We all have to learn that when talking to journalists, you have to phrase each sentence in such a way that it can stand on its own.

I am sure he would agree with me that the YC game has changed, and perhaps it requires more work from VCs than ever before, but it's definitely the biggest game in town (or even globally), and it would be foolish to ignore it. There are plenty of VCs for whom this game no longer works, but that's more of a reflection on them than on YC. You can still make boat loads of money with the best YC companies, and you have to evolve your signal gathering and ability to close rather than reminiscing the good old times when just having a large fund alone was enough to get into any deal you wanted.

Not peer reviewed, and the comments seem to point out a lot of poor methodology.

Naturally also followed by a lot of “why would anyone in academia ever lie about results”.
wow. this takes me back...
An important note is that no study has shown it to be more effective than getting the vaccine, so it’s unfortunate people are putting all their fate into something less scrutinized and less effective.
"That which is rewarded will be repeated".

Imagine if the catholic church approved stigmata as a way of showing one's devotion. I suspect the number of people suddenly getting scars on their hands would sky rocket.

What's the difference in practice apart from the more euphemistic wording?
I just took a skim through the material. The only objectionable thing was couching it in heavily racial or equitable terms, but the bulk of the work is really just trying to look for opportunities to improve pedagogy. The content itself is pretty vanilla and is discussing methods of pedagogy that are pretty old (at first glance it does not seem meaningfully different from the Montessori method and other approaches like “couching math in everyday examples” is an old idea).
