Testing doesn't even need to be that rigorous for humans, it's easy to spot someone who is lying about the depth of their experience with a 15 minute conversation.

For AI this will be impossible, however.

If you're talking about testing of code, well "tests can only prove the presence of bugs, not their absence"

Credentialism is not a solution, it will just get gamed too. Indian diploma mills and mega IT consultancies pump out thousands of "qualified" engineers every year.

Every hiring manager worth their salt has caught at least one completely incompetent applicant with a CV full of certifications.

I appreciate the bravery of you and others in this thread, sharing details of really horrible - and at the time likely very shameful experiences.

I'm glad to hear you (all) made it to the other side, and hope your stories give others who are struggling with addiction courage to seek help and free themselves.

Covid school closures lasted months in the worst cases, never years.

Good points, but I don't think its at all about wisdom, but about wealth and power which typically takes some time to accumulate.

It's a concession by governments to give the pultocrats a seat at the table, lest they decide to use their power to overthrow the ruling order. Tale as old as time.

All the cries of ageism but there have been countless leaked reports of US Senators being treated for dementia and clearly cognitively impaired senators still serving. They're doing a weekend at bernies with McConnell right now!

Absolutely there are sharp people >65, but there is no question that cognitive decline starts in middle age and the risk for dementia increases dramatically past 65.

Then there is the argument, which imo is even stronger, of an inverting demographic pyramid and inter generational economic warfare to preserve pensions for people who won't live to see the effects of their policies. This is not at all sustainable and creates misery for the working class who will soon lack sufficient democratic power to vote their way out of it.

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what's for dinner, etc..

Well, they have said they would support the social democrat party leader as prime minister, prior to the election - as did the left and green parties and are (sort of) participating with those parties in negotiating the formation of a new government. And none have the mandates to form a government without each other. So I would say they are in fact part of the same "bloc", in some sense.

However, the left has stated that they rather reasonably won't support a government that they are not part of. The center party on the other hand has said they won't support any government that the left party is in and seem to be open to forming a government (at least not denying when being asked directly) with the right wing parties of the former government, despite that bloc losing the election.

When one party's "red lines" only seem to soften when facing the right, I think that does say something about their true intentions.

Thank you for the affirmation :)

Locking down algorithmic social media for kids/youth is an absolute no brainer for me. So many reasons, honestly. No regrets there, and they never had it so they didn't get addicted and don't miss it.

Maybe you're asking about the spotify chats though? It was challenging for me, yes. There were topics and discussions that moody kids would have that I now had a window into. It can be a bit scary as a parent to see that all without filters, but it was also an opportunity to check in with them and have conversations about it. Kids have all these feelings and conversations anyway, so it's just part of that age. My childhood was rough, so I'm just thankful it is not like that for them and they have people to talk to. As I parent of course I wish they'd come to me first, but I know I will never be their peer in that way.

I do wish I blocked short form video better, but that's more out of concern for their attention and my own aesthetic snobbery ;) I do significantly limit how much time they can spend watching it, and we all know its a "treat" akin to junk food. Sometimes they share it with me :)

Ohhhh.. I can just say that no parent makes it through the experience without regrets.

Also, it depends a lot on the kid, the relationship, etc. It was a fine line, these were important social interactions for them, but there was definitely risks to be made aware of and kids are famously bad at risk assessment.

So it was something I would monitor as best I could and check in with them on, but at some point you just have to trust them and hope any mistakes don't have overly severe consequences.

> I think it is more accurate to say, "everything you put on out on the Internet _might_ never go away." Because my experience has been, a lot already has.

Oh you are absolutely correct, and I agree.

However when parenting, one cannot help being drawn to hyperbole from time to time. I'd rather have them at least consider the worst case scenario. ;)

Discovered my kid doing exactly this years ago. We purposefully limited all social media, locked dowb devices etc, but life uh.. finds a way.

I was impressed, just had the standard talk about how you have to assume everything you put out on the internet never goes away and that you really have no idea who is on the other side of the screen, never share personal information, etc

Now they are older and are on ridiculous group chats with their friends. Pretty impossible to control tbh. At least they keep me up to date with the latest memes!

I was having the same issue. Did not find any provider that had a cache hit rate anywhere close to DeepSeeks own API.

Not sure if this was an OpenRouter issue or with the other inference providers.
