The claim that there’s no empirical evidence of “reverse sexism” is particularly absurd. Women can be just as sexist as men, especially since society deems it to be socially acceptable for women to denigrate men (“men are stupid”) or to objectify men in a way that would lead to severe social consequences if a man were to make similar comments about women.

I suspect what they mean is that they don’t consider such things to be within their definition of sexism because of their socialization. Nothing about empiricism.

This is my favourite HN post
Show HN: I built an AI that creates and publishes daily podcasts while I sleep
Hey HN! I'm Jim, and I'm excited to share Digest.fm - a platform I built that automatically creates and publishes AI-generated podcasts every day at 6 AM.

TL;DR: Digest.fm turns any newsletter or URL into an AI-generated podcast, published automatically to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

The problem: Like many of you, I was struggling to keep up with the firehose of information in the tech world. I wanted to stay updated on AI developments and Product Hunt launches but couldn't find the time to read everything.

The solution: I built Digest.fm to create daily podcast digests for me. Now, I wake up to freshly published episodes summarizing the latest news and launches.

How it works:
1. Choose your content source (articles, newsletters or any URL)
2. Our AI curates and summarizes the content
3. It generates a podcast script and narrates it with natural-sounding AI voices
4. The episode is automatically published to major platforms

Real-world proof:
I've launched two podcasts using Digest.fm:

1. Product Hunt Digest - Daily roundup of top Product Hunt launches

Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7sMxNGgMpJQUXoX4UaMNkQ
Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/digest-fm-product-hunt-di...

2. AI News Digest - Daily summary of key AI developments

Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7L4rQSRDVBLhqsS8UYYY0l
Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/digest-fm-ai-news-digest/...

Both are 100% AI-generated and have been publishing daily without any manual intervention.

Try it out: https://digest.fm

I'll be here all day to answer questions, discuss the tech, or explore ideas about the future of AI-powered content creation. Let's chat!
That's great, let me know how it goes!
The only answer to is to use rye and I mean it. pyenv, pip, venv, pipenv, poetry, it's all crap.

Yes, I have seen many of the interviews from these extreme outliers. But I am curious to hear regular people's experiences with luck, and whether they have succeeded without much of it, even if they didn't become billionaires.
Oh good, that's what I want, then.
You listed some languages and tools, and described your experience, but you haven't framed what you'd like to do in terms of adding value for an employer. Companies don't hire because they need more SQL or Python code, they hire people who can solve business problems and add value, leveraging technical skills to accomplish that. So to start you might want to think about how to present your value proposition. Can you describe what you can offer a potential employer in business terms, without the tech jargon?

Employers also don't care about what makes you happy or what you like to do, even if they claim they deeply care about your happiness and growth. Either you add value or you don't, and if you don't they will find someone who does.

The tech job market right now looks bleak. You will want to talk to every professional connection, former colleague, friends, family, everyone you know to get job leads and an inside track. If you don't know a lot of people who might help you find a job, meet more people (meetups, user groups, conferences, striking up conversations with strangers, etc.). Most jobs don't get advertised. A person who can sell their value-add and can get in the back door with a referral will gain significant advantage, and may find freelance work or an unadvertised position. LinkedIn has so much garbage and bot traffic I wouldn't waste my time there -- everyone else looking for a job goes there and every job opening (including the fakes) gets piles of applicants. Competition gets fierce at the low end, so try a more targeted job search that bypasses the automated screening systems.
Please, beginners, do not take "Best practices" too seriously. For example:

https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/Go/blob/master/strings/pali...

Can you tell how many extra memory allocations we are making to solve this problem? And how many are really needed? We could solve this with a for loop by directly comparing the characters and skipping non-alphabetical ones. This would be simpler to read and more efficient.

We should be careful with what we call "best practices for beginners", as they can sometimes lead to unnecessary complexity and inefficiency.
Yes it is that simple and it’s also not. You need financial muscle behind the fork. E.g deno vs node, valkey vs redis, etc.

The discussion got heated but I think Tim Peters is arguing for a more stringent suspension rule as opposed to a simple majority vote. CoC violations are serious and should be debated better than just setting up a vote. The debate should be publicly discussed and the findings and reasons published as well.

Why is there opposition to that?
I agree with your factual claims, many things can influence the result.

But I don't quite see how using less accurate measuring tools makes sense. At the end of the day getting across the finish line first is the only thing that really matters. Seems to me that more accuracy can only be a good thing
True. Reminds me of some negative interactions on Stack Overflow when your post is rewritten making your question into a different question. What are the reasons— it reads better for the community; you don’t know what you’re asking.
> was lower in the 1960s than today?

Absolutely! Or at least the perception of financial inequality.

In the 60s after the war, the country was industrializing which increased inequality.

Only in the 80s that temporarily stopped, known as the "Miracle on the Han River”. After the 80s, inequality has just been increasing, with increased number of the population KNOWING about it. It's the reason why you have movies like Parasite, shows like Squid Games, and the rising discontent for the chaebols.

In any case, people FEEL largely so downtrodden and without access to resources, that they don't want to have children. Solve that feeling of inequality (by investing in social welfare programs and taxing the s*it out the rich), and you solve the population crisis.

Yep, that second stream is the alpha channel. Lossy alpha channels have been used since VP8 (~15 years I think). They seem pretty well tested. You can also see examples in the article.
Not all, but some exceptionally talented people might be hard to work with as well, so that anecdote doesn't give much information---you may well have claimed such observation as a generality and argued in the other way.

What MBAs and Financists destroyed so far:

- Western Industry.

- The blue-collar middle class

- The Middle Class

- Our health care system

- Our education

- Western Economic Leadership.

- Social Mobility

Now they are busy destroying western technology, science and innovation on their never-ending selfish wealth-extraction quest.

They convinced us that our homes are investments, so they can fleece us with their usurary schemes. So, what next? our organs?

They convinced us to exchange our pensions for the privilege of being the mark on a market where the sharks like them do whatever the fuck they want, from blatant insider trading, to pump and dump schemes, to outright fraud, having for all practical purposes bought the SEC a long time ago.

What they will kill next?

How long are we going to transfer wealth to those slimmy sweet talking ignorant greedy bean counters?

Our daily work is like being in a mad house because almost everything is subordinated to the the most sacred goal of cooking the next quarter numbers to ensure we maximize executive bonuses, and fuck the long run! crazy projects started, spin offs, merges, projects cancelled, company killing layoffs, fuck long term value generation! they want more and more, and more, and they fucking want it right now! the fucking bonus gollums.

Everything is fucked in our society but executive compensation. Xerox, HP, IBM, Boeing... How many other proud symbols of our economy and civilization are we going to let them destroy?

From a security angle, I'm not sure that I want to connect every transmitter to the internet if it doesn't have a natural reason to be. It may make sense for a WiFi access point, but if something doesn't need internet connection to function, adding that attack surface comes with a cost.
> AI is the same thing. It's a means to an end. You need to be talking about what you deliver with it. Not about how you deliver it.

This is true, but AI is new enough tech that it is reasonable to say "this thing wasn't possible to build three years ago, now it is possible to build, and we built it!". That is definitely a good pitch to investors, and in some cases, directly to customers.

That is not something you can say about mobile apps - like you said, it's not a distinguishing factor any more. But it is a factor for AI, in some situations.
You can't run from problems; you need to solve them. Very good thoughts
Care.txt
No but you can just use ./mvnw instead of installing it. I have never had to install gradle as a package on my computer in my entire lifetime. I always used ./gradlew.
Besides, architectures often need to change when the implementation finds assumptions that aren’t holding.

The one benefit I see is: ensuring everyone follows a standard ‘blessed’ way, and contain the chaos a bit.

What I dislike about most architecture people is the lack of care they tend to have to handle a gradual transition from one architecture to another. This part tends to cost much more than they care.
Regular people don't change towels every day. That's probably reserved for people with a phobia, the real solution there is to seek help though.
>I want people talking to me honestly like they might off camera

The you'll have to wish for a while since no one on YouTube is "as honest as if the camera is off".
> if the CoC people are in the right the fork dies.

I would disagree with that part. Forks are highly difficult. OpenBSD succeeded, so did the gcc fork that was sponsored by Cygwin but then merged back into mainline gcc. Otherwise?

Then, the council owns the entire marketing organization PSF, which owns the conferences, which means undesirables can and will be deplatformed.

It is much much harder to do a successful fork in 2024 than it was in 2005. Open source is corporate now, and the employees will stick with the official version and not the fork.

I think you could literally write an XPython fork that is 2 times faster, has a 100% compatibility but would still be marketed out of existence.

If Python had a free standard, it might be possible. But that will not happen.

> you (and all the other commenters here) accept this rule like sheeps

What do you mean "accept this rule like sheeps"? Do you expect violent resistance? Do you want to sue someone because a security guy poked their head in the room for 30s? How would "I do not accept this rule like sheeps" look like in your opinion? How far would you go resisting it?

> you US citizens

Wrong assumption.

> So don't take this personally,

I won't. Clearly you don't know anything about me.

> appear like they find it totally normal

I can explain what is a fact of life (they have this policy) without expressing my opinion about it.

> No 24h check will ever hinder a mass-shooter.

As clearly stated in my comment.

> The criminal would just wait until room cleaning made their job, then go to his car and get the big suitcase with all the guns and ammunition one can buy entirely too easy in the US. And then he can shot from his room, minutes after this compulsory do-nothing 24h "security" check.

Yes. Exactly this is described in my comment.

> that would be null and void over here.

Thank you. Interesting addition to the conversation about how it is in Germany. Different places have wildly different legal norms and expectations.

For me it is hard o get upset about this either way. A hotel is a different type of arrangement than renting.

I think it's definitely a character-driven story.

The specific teenage-slice-of-life thing is present throughout a good chunk of it, because the POV character is a teenager, but that does change somewhat, if only because she gets older.

That said, I found it amazingly fun basically from page one, and while romantic-drama-ish moments were a focus throughout, I also felt like "cool superpowers exploration" was a focus throughout. So while I think it might "get better" about the things that bother you, I can't be certian, since I liked it from the start :)
That's why I deliberately described the pip/venv solution as a "de-facto" standard.

Is Python perfect in this regard? Absolutely not but the situation is FAR less painful than it was 10 years ago. The original comment claimed nothing has changed in 10 years. I used Python 10 years ago and disliked it intensely but I've recently (in the last 3 years) used it again and it is simply not true that nothing has improved in 10 years.
Very interesting! Excited to learn more about Narnyara.
> It's good that people scrutinize and resist corporate greed.

I agree. Problem is it didn't do anything when they were saying the exact same things that led to the closure or significant job loss of the manufacturing that was the core of these communities:

1) "Hah, my factory job is complicated. The Mexicans, Chinese, Japanese, etc will never figure it out." Racist/xenophobic but said at the time. Even more wrong.

2) Look at robotics. It also took some time for the technology to develop and many of these same people looked at early implementations and thought the exact same thing: "Oh those robots don't really work and they never will". Then their factory jobs became a fraction of the head count with a completely different skill set...

Throughout history this has played out over and over again.

> People have the power to vote with their wallets (and their actual votes), and they should do so.

Key word being /should/. Yet it has been proven time and time again that people regularly vote against their own best economic interests in the ballot box and with their wallets. The same people who laughed at and dismissed the Chinese are going to Wal-Mart everyday and buying goods from (you guessed it) - China. They're also voting for the same corporate-funded politicians.

For many of these people their best option now is working at the large Amazon warehouse down the road where they pick and pack goods largely from (you guessed it again) - China. But even then there just aren't that many of those jobs and as the horror stories reported in the media show they're routinely abused there.

> Now, I'm not American and not an expert on the Rust Belt, but I'm pretty certain this is not the reason why the Rust Belt exists.

Next time you're in the US visiting New York, California, Florida, etc come visit the rust belt in "flyover country" and see just how devastating the effects of this are. I see and live it (to some extent) everyday.

> Probably rather something to do with corporate greed and greedy politicians.

A huge factor and the ultimate root of the problem but back to voting, wallets, etc: in the real world this isn't going anywhere and from what I see it's just getting worse.

My concern comes from seeing the blight and literal deaths in MY community. My concern now is AI is coming for the white collar workforce as well.

Another old adage:

"Don't underestimate your enemy/competition".
Could you explain '...relaxing with a bit less freedom'?
No, you are misreading what I'm saying. GP clearly means the current birth rate when talking about "unsustainable birth rates". I am pointing out that the pronatalist position is the actually unsustainable one. It's not hard to understand, really: we do not have the resources on this planet to give everyone an acceptable standard of living, let alone a US one. Any effort to reduce the resource usage via sustainability measures will be completely eaten up if we insist on increasing the human population of this planet. That is quite unsustainable -- far more so than a country having a birth rate under replacement for a while.

The Tim Peters?

I dug into that link where SNL is mentioned and honestly the connection made there to me seems a bit of a stretch.

I'm not in the Python ecosystem but I've seen this sort of drama in the Node.js community and, aside from resulting in a fork, it spurred a debate about governance of the project and an eventual change.
Those are quite different lengths in practice. 99 is less than some individual humans have lived. 999 is longer than any* country has continuously lived.

If I have a 999 year leasehold, that's the same as ownership in practical terms as my ownership goes away when the government fails and is replaced/taken over/overthrown.

In tech specifically, a 99 year lease is practically permanent as well. (1925 was before the first RF transmission of a television picture.)

* Maybe Japan is an exception here.

I have lived on trail, hiking thousands of miles a year with a backpack filled with food, water, and shelter. To hear the claim that hiking with a 50lb pack has the "same perceived effort" is absolutely untrue for me. The difference between 0lb and 20lb is significant. The difference between that and 50lb is monumental. For me, rucking a 50lb pack after about 30 minutes feels like I'm taking hallucinogens, and not in a fun way! Time slows down to a crawl, I can't really understand audio language or even really form thoughts at all. It's like my whole brain stops working and I am nothing but resistance to getting crushed into the ground.

I can ruck a 20lb pack for 20 miles a day for weeks, but even that took a lot of training. Doing that with 50lb feels like it would be impossible. Maybe my 135# body has some limiting factor.

That being said, I love taking out a 50lb pack just to clear my head. It's like forced meditation.

I know the “AI label” drives me away. It means the product is unreliable and a black box.

The “AI” label also indicates the solution is way over complicated and simpler ways to improve the product have been ignored. For instance, Confluence now has an “AI” chatbot. Search is still substantially worse than grep.
On responsibilities: In my previous company the product website system was over-engineered and urgently required 50 people on-call every second night, because always something was not working.

The company has lots of cash, so they kept adding layers of teams, spreading the responsibilities, so nobody was in charged of anything. (but it was SOX etc. compliant).

It was a big mess.

The site front-end was developed by somebody else and included some CSS script from some other CDN, which had a 8 seconds time-out. It could not be fixed because nobody was in charge and nobody took initiative.

I think nobody even recognized there was a 8 second delay in page loaded and nobody cared.
Something else... US current political climate vs immigrants doesn't help. In addition to the life prospects of potential immigrants.

I'm a drop on the ocean only, but my case is the one I have: PhD in Computer Science, highly specialized and have lived and worked around the world , but there's not enough that attracts me to living in the US.

Its health system issues, the animosity against minorities and immigrants and the lack of reasonable immigration paths for professionals make it unsexy.

And as I said I'm literally nobody. How would the US attract real post Ww2 talent?
