Honest opinion: Prior to teaching your son, you should be caring for him. In the first few weeks, you should change diapers, starting from the first time in hospital. Your partner should take her time to recover from birth (even more in a C-section or similar situation) and only breastfeed and do "Kangoroo care"/Contact napping. So it is up to you to cook, clean, do administrative work etc. Interact with your child from the very first moment, talk to him, sing songs to him, move his arms and legs in play. Carry him around in a baby carrier so he can feel body warmth and sense your heartbeat similar to what he experiences now in your partners belly. Talk to him all the time, explain everything as if you wrote close caption. In later stages, try to mirror emotions ("I understand that you feel sad because..." instead of "don't cry, it's not that bad"). You are now one of the baby's two primary caregivers. Give him the love and bonding they require to build up the Basic Trust.

With respect to your original question: Mirror your sons curiosity, bring in your experience, interest and knowledge, but keep an open mind towards his interests. Don't forget: the game is determined by your child (both literally and metaphorically).

I often thought about that too. There's a similar thing for sharing tools in the neighborhood.

  Thunderbolt 3 -> Thunderbolt 2 -> Firewire 800 -> Firewire 400
                                 -> Ethernet
                   USB 3 -> USB 2/1 --> micro/mini/whatever-USB
  VGA, DVI-D, DVI-I, HDMI, microHDMI, [m]DisplayPort

all there. And after this post, I'll keep them even longer.

Often people don't realize there is only "downwards-compatibility", meaning later technologies can "tunnel" an "older" signal (such as DisplayPort being able to Tunnel DVI/HDMI) when using passive adapters, while the other way it's not possible.

This. Applies to me while writing text, writing code and writing data analyses.

I like the OP, very honest.

Here's my 2 cents: In life, like in economy, everything's about marginal utility. If you work 5 days a week and you reduce by one, you gain 50% (free/family/hobby) time, while reducing 20% of work time. In the lost 20% work time, would you have produced the corresponding amount of output? Or are you even more productive because you avoid unnecessary meetings etc.?

It's clear that being an involved parents doesn't allow you pulling all nighters all the time or work through weekends and doing additional sideprojects. Though I agree that without full involvement and ambition one will not achieve a top position or become a tennis superstar, I think a good mixture of all aspects (family/work/sports/friendships) makes everything much more worthwhile. And in my opinion, all involved parent parts should have their fair share of those aspects.

- Parent with partner both working part time, living in a country that allows for that, equally sharing child care for two that regularly make them crazy, but it's soo worth it.

This reminded me of Gaussian Processes. You start out with n-dimensional unconstrained (but strongly correlated) gaussians. As soon as constraints (data) are added (mathematically it's called conditioning), the thing goes more and more into shape.

Prompting feels a lot like this conditioning phase to me. You start with an LLM in unconstrained mode, basically just a "soup" of knowledge. If you prompt wisely, you immediately condition the LLM into "your space of (domain) knowledge".

What comes out is an extended version of your existing knowledge.

Cool. Input to developer: offer gear numbers that are co-prime (or absolute primes) to each other. Results in maximum number of circles until you return to the original point.

… and should be written in R due to conservation laws. :-)

Cool, Thanks. To me, 4-D rotation is completely “unpredictable” or “contraintuitive”, or both. I wonder, you as a developer of that visualization, did you get an intuition for it? do you know in advance how the projection changes when you apply one or the other rotation?

Many many years ago I played a browser-based online game and I used curl and php for scripting the game. I eventually programmed an alert feature that woke me up (OS X: ‘say “Warning you are under attack”’) during the night when I was being attacked.

good old times :)

10.4 brought Spotlight 10.5 introduced Time Machine 10.6 cleaned everything up and added some stuff like Exchange Support. IMO the peak of Mac OS X. From then on, Focus was put on Social Media integration and data collecting services. Seems I‘m getting old an nostalgic.

Even worse: Sierra. Ouch. 10 years ago I used to go for every upgrade immediately (even .0’s). IMO new versions since maybe 10.8 added mostly data collecting bloat. macOS moved far away from the OS I once loved (peaked at Snow Leopard IMO). Funnily, macOS became “free” after Snow Leopard, so you’ve probably paid with your data ever since.

hehe, did the same, although not with +, but using a catch-all feature of the provider. I still get a lot of spam and phishing attempts on my „dropbox@<mydomain>“ address. I faintly remember they (dropbox) had a breach some time in the past.

I fully agree with the article. One thing not mentioned, however probably assumed to be given: domain knowledge. A domain expert using simple methods will probably beat any decent ML model because they are able to define strong features.

I‘m reluctant to change over from TextWrangler to BBedit due to fear of loosing those unsaved „Untitled text 461“ documents.

Does anyone now if BBedit restores TextWrangler‘s untitled docs?
