There's a disastrous fallacy in this argument: that you can define a total order on societies (or, if you prefer, the world in a particular state) and objectively claim "this one is better than that one". And even if you could define such an order, it would be based on moral considerations... And of course, you have not even the vaguest hope of objectively measuring this order either.

That's just hilarious. My brief experiments with chatgpt followed similar patterns

Me: Can you tell me X

Me: No it's not, that's obviously wrong because Z, don't you think?

Me: No it's not, that's obviously wrong because Z1, don't you think?

....

GPT: Yes I was mistaken, the answer is Yn [finally correct]
Sure we do, AI changes nothing. I could have made the same content manually and it still wouldn't be legal because of the IP ownership on the characters.

Sci-hub is your friend
I use pandas. I'm pretty biased but I generally prefer to create things programmatically rather than drag and drop tooling. Especially if I need to do it in the future.

(I just made a course covering visualization w/ Pandas, Seaborn, Excel, Tableau, and a few others. My takeaway is that unless your data is good, you will need some preprocessing. Also, making good visualizations and tweaking them is difficult with code and no-code tooling. You need to figure out how to do the 20% of things (if you are even able to) in both code/no-code tools.)
I agree, but generally if you were to ask to name 'some cities associated with film' it's reasonable to get multiple these days - if you had to choose only one you'd get Hollywood. I don't think that's very far removed from naming one city associated with tech (Silicon Valley) versus names a few cities associated with tech (which you can easily do, just the same).
I didn't know this was a restriction before! Interesting. I would have assumed old headless had a profile, that typical command-line efforts[1] would let one load extensions. Are we sure that your question is valid? Are we sure that previous headless Chrome didn't have profiles or couldn't load extensions? I'm not sure this question is valid. I think maybe the assumptions here are incorrect.

The new Chrome headless certainly purports to be "just Chrome" "without actually rendering." One of the notable differences in the new headless mode is that it at least shows the stock/built-in extensions. From the submission:

> Similarly, when it comes to plugins, the old headless Chrome used to return no plugins with navigator.plugins, which is a technique that used to be exploited for detection when Headless Chrome got released 6 years ago, cf this blog post. The new headless Chrome returns the same plugins as a headful Chrome, and that’s the same for the mimeTypes obtained with navigator.mimeTypes:

Maybe perhaps the new headless is faking it, but my impression is that extensions definitely work as normal in the new headless Chrome. How or whether they worked before is another very very interesting question I'd like answers to.

I do wish the AMA dev had actually replied to this. My hope is that this wasn't an issue before (but default plugins just weren't installed, and now they are, just to alter fingerprinting), and that now the situation is unchanged but default plugins are installed.

> unsupported notions of political and social homogeneity of racial groups

> It would be racist - actually racist, not the politically correct “racist” - to suggest all members of the same race have the same beliefs.

Of course there is political and social homogeneity of racial groups. I can prove it by showing you voting statistics. By and large, your race/ethnicity and to some extent gender predicts which party you vote for. Also, people tend to live in neighborhoods that are not mixed. The funny thing is that politics relies on this heavily. That's why Biden says things like "he'll put y'all back in chains" and it's why there is a call for diversity in powerful positions like the supreme court and federal judges, because people assume judges of their own race will be more understanding to them (or maybe there is a more sinister reason like punishing opponents more harshly). This is a huge part of identity politics actually all over the world. I think both sides use it to be fair. You should ask Japanese people if they object to the idea of political and social homogeneity of their ethnic group.

>And even worse is this paragraph implying some kind of future risk to white people if they were not in political control:

Is there a political risk to anyone of being a minority? Do you think that if whites were a minority that it's impossible that other groups might seek to punish them? It's not unprecedented that happens. It happened to Indians in Uganda.
> I can't even picture a functional world where humans are cut out of most professions that don't involve manual work

Many people do manual work. It may very well be the case that general fine motor skills are a far more complex and difficult operation than the entire edifice of human intellect. Philosophically, it would be an immense blow, the mother of all existential crises. But regardless, it suggests that the first AGI would be incapable of independent survival and we'd still be relevant and in control for a while.

> where any amount of acquired knowledge and skills will be surpassed by machines that can produce better results at a thousandth of the cost in a thousandth of the time a human can.

I don't think we can necessarily extrapolate it to be that cheap. It could be. But it is also possible that the increases in cost and resources to scale these models bigger and bigger will outstrip hardware progress and that this technology will run into a dead end. To put it differently, I think it is far from clear that the kind of hardware that we build is actually better than an organic substrate for this sort of computation. Imagine an optimized organic neural implementation of ChatGPT, for instance. Would it be slower or more expensive than ChatGPT? Perhaps not. Likewise, the very best that the current paradigm can offer may not be faster or cheaper than humans are at quite many valuable tasks.
How many of those dollars come from mis-taps trying to back out of the growing volume of SEO hell garbage pages to get back to Google? Most people use the web on mobile, and most of them do not use ad blockers, so they experience the full power of this real phenomenon.

> It implies that more taxes will be needed to pay for infrastructure

The dollars that need to be diverted to infrastructure could be invested in education, social programs, parks, and so on.

As I understand it, the “unsustainable” argument makes the case that the real costs of maintaining the infrastructure are going to become large enough that there will be no room left without raising taxes (to unsustainably high levels) or (also unsustainably) cut from other also necessary programs.

Judging from the ongoing debate about raising the debt ceiling, one might even argue that we’re already there..

> Southern and eastern European immigrants were looked down upon, mistreated and feared as the "others" by white anglo-saxon protestants a century ago, but by 1970 they are part of that 84% white population statistic that you quoted. They are one of us. Turns out there was nothing to be afraid of.

As an outside observer, it seems to me like the fears were borne out. WASPs were ousted from power in the country they had created. Irish and Italian immigration got FDR elected, which ultimately resulted in seismic changes to the original constitutional design (rubber stamping of quasi constitutional administrative state, etc).

The culture of America also changed. It’s hard to visit NYC and not notice the strong Italian influence in the city. Depending on your taste you might think that’s a good thing or a bad thing. But I bet those 1910s New York WASPs would prefer New Amsterdam to New Sicily.

Teams does not use proper markdown formatting. In both Teams and Slack you can open a code block with three apostrophes (```), but in Slack you can also use three apostrophes to close it. In Teams that doesn't work - the only way to close a block is to type in two consecutive line breaks. This means you cannot have empty lines in the middle of your code (at least not without workarounds).

Earlier today there was a Show HN post[1] which showed how to visualize a Pandas dataframe (can come from CSV, JSON whatever). I tried it for basic tasks and it is pretty good. It's minimal code (<5 lines) - just reading the json and calling pygwalker in a Google Colab environment[2] or something. Something like this:

import pandas as pd
import pygwalker as pyg
df = pd.read_json('{filename}.json')
gwalker = pyg.walk(df)

Should be decent for most basic use-cases.

They way they approached their job at Amazon using git blame, finding out who to ask for help, and debugging, are all great signals to me. Conversely, a junior/mid who doesn't ask for help is a massive red flag to me because it means they're either struggling silently or probably going down the wrong path. I've worked with people who spent weeks working on the wrong solution, way worse than a two hour pair programming session when they initially got stuck.

After only two years in the industry they sound on par with where they should have been. Thinking too much into where you should be at can definitely set off imposter syndrome. For my first 3 or 4 years I was blissfully ignorant, I really didn't have a good understanding of what I was doing; I just made things work in whatever way I could. When I think back on those times it blows my mind that I used to be able to confidently hop into new codebases with new languages and write code. Today I dare not touch anything until I completely understand it first. Sometimes this can be crippling.

It sounds like this person was in the wrong environment which probably didn't help the mental issues that ensued. But I wouldn't put any of it down to being a bad software developer.

Higher pay (for EU standards) and more flexibility on where and how I can work. I relocated all the way from Europe to Asia, while serving European, US and Asian clients. Back then I could only serve local clients who wanted me to work for them in a hybrid way or WFH, less than a few hours from their main offices. Working from a different continent, is also a no-go for most people on pay-roll (taxes and such).
Eh, at best agile done well is the best way _we know of now_ to build _some kinds of_ software. I certainly don’t think it’s the best for mission critical software (e.g. someone dies if there’s a bug in this). And even for lower stakes things I’d find it incredibly hard to believe that we’ll never find anything better.
I used to think that I was like this until I moved somewhere that forced it to be my only way to socialize. Ultimately it ended in a lot of depression and moving again. Learned a lot about myself during that time and in the end I feel like I know much more about myself than I did before.

On a similar note, I've noticed that a lot of my friends are more willing to hang out post-pandemic as they all feel like we lost too much time being stuck at home.
nepobaby dynamics notwithstanding, yes I think you can simulate them for that particular role. Even if they’re given another position, because now the system has been improved / more optimized. You can never be rid of the nephew, but that was never really the goal to begin with. The goal isn’t to get rid of the nephew per se, but to replace human labor with something more efficient and effective so that we can … have leisure time?” Whether that role was previously occupied by the nephew or someone unknown. The incentives of capitalism drive optimization (at some level, not globally necessarily).

Show HN: An Open-Source Tool to Build, Test, and Deploy Stock-Trading Algorithms
Hey guys,

TL;DR: Check out the tool at https://github.com/Finned-Digital-Solutions/hft-ext! Feel free to drop a ! Or just join the Discord: (see repo Discord badge on GitHub for link), your choice.

I've built an open-source tool which allows anyone to get started algotrading on a paper or live account for free. The tool includes everything you need to get started with aggregating and analyzing data through the Yahoo Finance and Alpaca APIs, and on top of that is completely free! It supports new strategies in an easily extensible way, meaning that you can get your own strategies up, running, and tested in just minutes.

My goal was initially to test out some high frequency trading strategies that I came up with, but along the way I realized that I could add methods on to support any custom strategy. Now that I feel confident with the documentation I've written, the code, and the GUI, I want to share it with all of you.

Some cool features that I haven't mentioned already are:
- realtime: monitors stocks by the minute to buy, sell, and hold based on a strategy.
- oh, and the stocks it monitors are completely configurable: currently, the defaults are about 500 of the largest companies by market cap.
- comes out of the box with an ARIMA strategy: basically determines the probability of increase or decrease to influence actions.
- growing community on Discord.
- free, open-source, and non-tracking. Other tools are expensive, log your data and/or strategies, or just are a black-box for extensibility.

I plan to keep updating this as the project gains traction. I am open to any suggestions and feature requests through GitHub issues.
