I still like Stack Exchange websites, mainly SO. I still think they are relevant regardless of how many questions are asked, because most of asked questions were irrelevant anyway, it was noise, new users who didn't even perform a simple search before asking, closed rapidly.

I used it 99% for searching, reading, 0.9% answering, 0.1% asking.

What would be relevant is how many answers are actually read today. It must have dropped a lot, but still, when people come, they're probably looking for something different than what LLMs provide.

Why should genetics play a role here? TVs have only existed for a century. These guidelines might err on the side of caution, but it is a good thing considering how fast screen time among kids is growing, and how little we know about its long-term effects.

These should be universal, even if some culture will first disagree and want to do things differently because they think they know better, in the end it will converge to the same, like it did for lead paint on toys, asbestos in housing, radium-dial watches, thalidomide for morning sickness for pregnant women, X-rays for shoe-fitting, etc.

It's the TVs that should be removed from most spaces, not the kids, like loud video ads in some supermarkets.

Otherwise, I don't really see your point, preschoolers rarely have access to TVs where I live.

What pediatricians and many others actually say:

0-3 yrs old: no screens at all. No TV playing when they are in the room, even if they can only hear the sound. Refrain from using your phone too long when they are in the room with you, they need to see your face react to them to learn human interaction.

3-6: no screens used alone. No internet. Interactive content with a parent is ok, not regularly, not in the bedroom.

6-9: may discover safe internet spaces, with help from parents.

9-12: can learn to manage their screen time, protect their private life, develop critical thinking.

12+: no screens at night, talk to your kid about what they do online, more autonomy.

This is what we follow (refraining from using the phone ourselves is prolly the hardest to do), they have never watched cartoons alone, they love old point'n'click games on the PC with me, we share the mouse, and I thought they would ask for more and more screen time, they don't. They actually want to read books with parents, paint, draw, build, go outside, ride a bicycle, invite friends. Maybe we're lucky. They don't throw tantrums in their seat, they sometimes do while grocery shopping, it's difficult, but I would never use a screen to stop it.

So, I don't see how this kind of device can be useful and safe at any age. It seems designed to cause the infamous "iPad kid" syndrome or get them hooked on Amazon products even younger than before.

But there's even worse in stores today: AI assistant integrated plushies.

Did you know ...

... that A is a commune in the X department in western France?

... that B is a commune in the X department in western France?

... that C is a commune in the X department in western France?

... that D is a commune in the X department in western France?

... that E is a commune in the X department in western France?

... that F is a commune in the X department in western France?

Yes, I knew. They're all nearby communes. If I go in any direction, I can't miss them.

Publish it with a README in which you tell everyone that you're a dumb vibe coder and you didn't read or understand any of the LLM output code. This is legal advice and may be used in court as such.

Wierd that this information was missing until today, maybe it was so obvious that nobody deemed useful to include it in the other revisions of this page.

Should we blindly trust OpenAI's narrative about this event?

It's strangely convenient to arrive at a point when OpenAI was way behing in cybersecurity vs Claude Mythos Fable and everything, Anthropic was making headlines each week, then boom OpenAI inadvertently attacks HuggingFace because their tool is so good it's out of control, so maybe you can buy it and get either protection if you're a company, or a nice tool if you're a cybercriminal, script kiddie, or red team.

What if Sam knew it would happen, either because it was prompted to do exactly that, or without explicitly prompting it, knew that given the parameters of the experiment, knew it was one of the possible outcomes that it didn't harden against this kind of incident deliberately because when they fail, they make wordlwide news and stocks go up?

I don't think I'm putting my head in the sand like Simon says, as I do believe that most frontier models are capable of doing this. I just don't trust AI CEOs to not stage this, especially Sam.

We could fix this graph using AI: make AI post 250k questions each month, problem solved?

Obviously a Hackernews thread on Google internal policy is related to Google (your employer).

Do they work without noticable latency on other devices? I've always found the BT technology wasn't designed for gaming, it even has a feature to delay streamed video until the sound catches up in order to reduce latency for video+sound playback.

I think I set up my Apple account about 14 years ago. I have no clue what I put as security answers when I was young, even though I think I have the answers, it won't accept them. I still know my password, I still have access to the email, but because I switched from iPhone to Android, I didn't use the account for years.

Now I want to log in with the correct password, because it's been such a long time, it locks me out unless I give it 2 security answers. I've tried to reset it by email, it still locks me out on next login and asks for 1 security answer, I can't find any answer, I have no clue if it's case-sensitive and details like that. I went to an Apple store, they told me to contact the support, I have contacted the support, they can't do anything. Maybe my last hope is GDPR since I'm in the EU, have the account deleted.

AI in search is worthless to me because of how many SEO AI slop spamsites are created daily, pretending to be regular newssites and regurgitating random crap that's always the first result when you search for specific things, like a combination of two popular search terms. This when fed into another AI adds a slayer of slop, so if you don't check the source, you can't know for sure.

I knew Death Stranding 3 wasn't out yet!
