The MyST flavor of markdown is not the same as GitHub flavor, especially about embedding highlighted/replaced content.

Dang, how do they implement the “parse text strings and generate types immediately available in auto-complete” thing?? I can see how you could do that with Rust Macros, but how do they do it in TS?

Eg. this thing:

blah.select(['pet.name as pet_name'])

is inferred to return a type with a `pet_name` field, parsing the contents of the SQL expression?

[Update]: whatafak lol TS has way more juice in it than I realized: https://github.com/koskimas/kysely/blob/master/src/parser/se...
Well here's what the people who said reddit is great and Twitter sucks yelled at me:

- They went down in Australia for a day.

- The "For You" tab keeps selecting itself.

- The Twitter feed keeps injecting randos that aren't followed.

- Nothing is there when you click on a notification sometimes. There are phantom likes and retweets.

- For a while people were unable to change their display name or 2FA would break.

- The view counter doesn't match the analytics view counter.

- Latencies are high

Apparently nobody can agree if a website is bad. Depending on whatever you're arguing, one is great and the other is terrible.

As for reddit, I've been getting phantom notifications, incorrect comment counts on posts, and a 10-15 minute block of "Reddit is down" pages on a monthly basis for years. So as far as I'm concerned, they're both pretty bad.
There's a hundred million neurons in our guts. It makes me think arguments about being brains in a vat, and treating the brain as a biological computer with inputs form the senses misses the fact that the brain is part of the nervous system extending throughout the body, and not some isolated system. An envatted brain isolated from the body is likely not going to function properly. The brain can only properly be understand as being part of a whole organism.
We don't know that it's true, but what kzrdude described is definitely part of the mental model (or, if you like, the DNA) of the site.

Ah my mistake. Maybe the answer lies in combining podcast searches with filtering options within your app? I've recently started using filters on my searches in various applications/file systems/etc and it has really improved my UX across the board. Switching from "sort by relevance" to "newest first" might be the move. I've also had a bit of luck trying out podcasts outside of my normal areas of interest.

Good luck on your hunt.

> you can't live in a dense community

Not everyone does, 99% of the world exists outside of cities. You can't apply urban reasoning to the majority of the world. Sure, all actions have consequences but that doesn't mean you need a policeman to supervise every step you take. The only reason societies function is because individuals decide for themselves that they will abide by societal norms. The laws enacted by societies are a tiny fraction of the rules we use to govern our behaviour and none of it would be any use if people simply decided to ignore those rules, hence why crime still exists, sometimes people just DGAF and do what they want for their own reasons.

It's pretty funny being accused of having an immature viewpoint when you are literally appealing to authority to solve all of your problems. Adults need to solve their own.
> Need I remind you that the US is one nation _under God_?

I refused to recite that fascist bullshit in school, and "under God" was added by Dwight Eisenhower in 1954. I disagree that the US is "under God". What's your point? You're going to come to my house and wreck the place if I don't kneel for your God? What are you even talking about?

That is because governments attempts to raise birth rates are like fat people trying to lose weight: "We've tried nothing, and it didn't work!"

Just increase the tax burden X-times the default rate for those without Y kids. If you aren't willing to repopulate the nation then you should be subsidizing those who are.

For the record, that's not what the article is saying.

A better TL;DR might be:

There's a success sequence which makes people not be poor (97% effective) regardless of IQ. Elites hide this sequence from the masses perhaps because they believe it will make more people blame people for being poor. The article argues that the success sequence is easy enough that substantially more people would complete it and live better lives if they were made aware of it, and especially if it were tied more to social status rather than other things being tied to social status which decrease their probability of success in life.

> as well as the right to be assured of your next meal

No such right seems to exist, in my view. That said, we have a duty and obligation as a society to help out those in need, but this is not the same thing as this being a human right. That meal requires the labor of another, and there is no human right in my viewpoint that causes the enslavement of someone else.
Yes, there is a general push by the Biden administration to beef up antitrust enforcement, including in tech.

That's why you see this lawsuit, which you are right wouldn't have happened under former administrations. "there was a months long DOJ investigation before approving the purchase. The conclusion was it would not harm competition." And they were wrong, right?

I am not a pro-Biden sort of person (I consider myself to the left of Biden, by a wide margin), but the antitrust direction is encouraging. And hopefully will get some things done before he is out of office... we'll see.

> In a July 2021 executive order, President Joe Biden articulated the administration’s broad antitrust policy. That order instructed the antitrust agencies to increase enforcement to prevent a rise in consumer prices and competitive harm in labor markets, and preserve nascent competition. Additionally, in what the order calls a “whole-of-government competition policy,” it charged more than a dozen other agencies to protect competition using their authority under a range of statutes.

— "Biden’s Broad Mandate Has Altered the Antitrust Landscape, Making Merger Clearance Process Less Predictable" https://www.skadden.com/insights/publications/2022/01/2022-i...

That essay happens to be from from a corporate perspective that does not like that the administration has made mergers "less predictable"! I approve of making monopolistic mergers harder, but it's interesting to see it covered from the opposite bias. You can google for more, but another source, a brief American Bar Association update:

> Biden administration steps up antitrust enforcement: Antitrust enforcement in the Biden administration is about o change, according to Timothy Wu, who played a key role in the executive order President Joe Biden signed in July aimed at limiting corporate dominance and making American businesses more competitive...

> Wu serves as the Special Assistant to the President for Technology and Competition Policy, National Economic Council. He is a key figure on the White House Competition Council, which was created in Biden’s executive order to bring a whole-of-the government enforcement effort to promote competition in the U.S. economy.

In addition to the July 2021 memo, it can see in who he has chosen as appointees to key roles -- various people who have been pushing for stronger antitrust enforcement and new legal theories:

I've started to 'learn' the ChatGPT tone (you can even give ChatGPT some text and ask it if it thinks it was AI written). Now I know the general structure and language it uses I've been spotting it all over Reddit, HN and some blog posts.

I have noticed it makes me get bored of reading content, and I start to skim through it assuming it's just AI generated waffle.

Or maybe you've fooled yourself into thinking that "strong AI"/general intelligence is actually not just a bunch of tricks that mash together into a smorgasbord that usually works quite well. That includes human intelligence.

More generally, I don't care for how education and social-status assessment is conflated. School shouldn't be a competition. Education is compromised by the assessment aspect.
I think that finding gaps as Paul Graham says is a good approach to finding ideas.

My approach to finding ideas is to think, write and use words I like to explore creatively and join arbitrary ideas together. Writing and talking IS thinking itself!

I even journal all my ideas in the open on GitHub! I share all my ideas with everyone, including startup ideas. Links are on my profile. I LOVE SHARING IDEAS.

I enjoy reading people's problems to encounter inspiration for problem solving. I would read Slashdot when growing up to learn about computer issues people were solving.

Some words I enjoy are "mesh", "parallel", "multiplex", "multi", "schedule", "marketplace", "tree", "additive", "auto", "query", "traversal", "graph".
I did terrible in high school and ended up going to university 6 years later and did very well. High school is barely a faint memory of my past and being judged on that would definitely irk me.

Hmm, but AFAIK the performance didn't radically improve in P/S/E - and anyway, I had assumed that this whole discussion also covered them because B/P/S/E are still all using the same architecture - for instance : doesn't TFA apply to P/S/E ?

One-page-only is great for new grads and people with a few years of experience.

I’d expect someone with 10+ years of experience to use a second page. My résumé is about a page and a half. Old (but relevant!) job experience has already been cut down to a single-line description for each job. At some point, there’s just too much content for one page, even if you ruthlessly edit your résumé down and just give the most essential details.

IQ is just one thing. I've scored highly on similar tests of math and verbal aptitude, but I have poor memory and have very little energy. These two (especially the energy) limit me to only the simple and, most importantly, non-demanding coding jobs, i.e. enterprise software backend work.

I am German and support the degradation of this "crime" to a delict, but even if 1/3 of the emprisoned is there bc of riding without a ticket, which I can hardly believe without a source, you leave out a very important aspect. Most if not all of those aren't emprisoned because they were caught 3 times without a ticket, but because they were on probation when they were caught. Most of those got probation immedeately in court.
The law was created in the 1930s by the Nazi government because people "hacked" the new ticket machines, which weren't as secure as today. This wasn't an issue before when selling tickets was done by humans. Sadly western Germany always has been too conservative to change it, the reunification would have been a good chance to overthink every law that originated from the 3rd Reich.

Yes and that's probably the one thing that would get us to rework the HTML. That or if we could significantly reduce its size.

It's both IMO. It will change everything but is also overhyped at this point.

Tell HN: Coinbase is experiencing a wave of account takeover attempts
I kept getting emails that somebody has contacted Coinbase support having account access issues. Obviously, it wasn't me, and my account is secure, so, somehow, they've tricked support to file their issue. Meanwhile, I keep getting text messages and calls from scammers pretending to be from Coinbase. Seems like there's a glitch in the support system allowing unauthenticated ticket creation. And obviously there's a PII leak if scammers know both my email address and phone number. Support is useless, they use some cheap headsets, and you can barely get what they are saying, and they've even hung up on me and didn't attempt to call back although their system says they will in case we got disconnected. The heavy Eastern European accent of the support lady didn't sound very reassuring.
> In 2017, Lina M. Khan, at the age of 27, published Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox. It said everyone was getting antitrust wrong, and there were other ways giant conglomerates were harming competition. Traditionally, unless the consumer was harmed through short term price fixing, just about anything was allowed to fly. The paper took the legal world by storm, and two years ago, she was nominated, confirmed, and appointed as commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission.

> So largely, someone new, with new ideas, took over a regulatory body that has been coasting along on its lorals. The FTC will now behave non-traditionally, disregarding what has been a very consistent school of thought (defined by Yale Law School professor Robert Bork and University of Chicago Law School professors Richard Posner and Frank Easterbrook) since the 1977 Continental Television v. GTE Sylvania Supreme Court Case redefined the Judicial Systems perspective on anti-trust, neutering the Sherman Act.

> In 1978 Robert Bork wrote the book The Antitrust Paradox and Richard Posner wrote Antitrust Law, summarizing the previous decades shift in attitude towards government intervention in the marketplace. Khan believes the those three people influenced the government to become too lenient and hands-off, when it should have been doing more to protect the marketplace from harmful entities that threaten competitiveness.

This is a straw man, I did not say any such thing. I am just pointing out the limitations that people like the author of this article seem to be blissfully unaware of.

Also I would argue that your premise of AI vs a Jr eng is pretty bad. Junior engineers are not writing things to 85% correctness. If they are, they should be let go basically immediately. That's a 15% error rate. I would posit that even the worst human programmers have error rates well below 1% for code that actually ships.
