10-15 years ago HN was the place where everyone showed off their new shiny toys and people would jump over themselves to try some new framework or db or tool. Now, so much negative sentiment about AI coding. I bet if LLMs came 15 years ago, HN would be brimming with excitement. What happened?

I love math but the symbology and notations get in my way. 2 ideas:

1. Can we reinvent notation and symbology? No superscripts or subscripts or greek letters and weird symbols? Just functions with input and output? Verifiable by type systems AND human readable

2. Also, make the symbology hyperlinked i.e. if it uses a theorem or axiom that's not on the paper - hyperlink to its proof and so on..

Do you need to know internals of a database or just use them as a tool. If you hit some bottleneck, you go deep.

My favorite conspiracy theory:

After Tiananmen, the CCP planned many contingents next time something similar happened.

Cue, the [2019 Hong Kong Democracy Protests][1]. The MSS releases Covid19 at the peak of the protests (actually they do pick Wuhan so they can use lab leak as a plausibility if needed) in Sep 2019 and later they use the lockdown laws to completely clamp down the protests.

Most likely he realized once the authorities have his name - he can't run forever.

That being said - some obvious stuff he could have done like grow a beard and shave it after and fly out of the country to somewhere cheap like Thailand with $10k
