Markdown format with a comment saying what the file path is. So:

This is src/components/Foo.tsx

```tsx // code goes here ```

OR

```tsx // src/components/Foo.tsx // code goes here ```

These seem to work the best.

I tried diff syntax, but Gemini 2.5 just produced way too many bugs.

I also tried using regex and creating an AST of the markdown doc and going from there, but ultimately settled on calling gpt-4.1-mini-2025-04-14 with the beginning of the code block (```) and 3 lines before and 3 lines after the beginning of the code block. It's fast/cheap enough to work.

Though I still have to make edits sometimes. WIP.

Coal is used in (some) peaking power plants that only turn on during a surge of demand for electricity. Some also use natural gas. It's easier to spin them up/down and can deal with the strain of being used intermittently.

Individuals: Your mattress is not big enough for all your cash and your neighbors are eyeing it too...

Institutions: requirements that they hold a % of their portfolio in safe assets like bonds.

Raise money, buy competition, raise fees?

Who are you trying to prevent from taking the handle? Seems like it's either a) adults - that have a legit use for it now, b) soon to be adults that will have a legit use for it sooner than your kid does.

It drives up the price of real estate, all of it. Which means that for those Canadians that bought - it's a huge segment of their net worth. And they vote.

More democratic than China, yes. A low bar to clear.

Given a choice between two neighbourhoods, would I want to move to one that has grow ops or a high rate of social services checkups? Some of that data is already easily available and I know it is being used by real estate agents already. The people that can avoid these neighbourhoods will, which leaves only those that can't. Gentrification.

The neighbourhood I grew up in was heavily mixed (along social strata) which prevented these problems from arising in the first place.

If we had access to granular data like this, wouldn't it lead to further gentrification and a further rift within a society?

From a news story here in Canada about Navajo - their nation is a "food desert" so people have to keep driving to the cities to buy everything, exposing themselves in the process (can't do Foodora/Uber Eats/Instacart). Lack of PPE seems to be a general problem as well.
