Ask HN: Where do you go for parenting advice?
I can search Google for parenting advice, but it seems (just like many other subjects) that the web is riddled with paid articles and junk content sites with clickbait articles.
Parenting is also one of those subjects where it seems (to me at least) that there's so much psuedo-science out there, but I'm looking for more science based, researched information.

Since I feel somewhat part of the 'hacker news community' I'm really interested to know where people here specifically go for parenting advice - whether it's specific books or articles you read, podcasts, people you follow on twitter/substack/other, or any other source of information you're familiar with.
Yes of course! I'd be happy to answer your short question with a short answer. I look forward to expanding further on the answer, as you previously stated that you expect me to.

Jokes aside, something about LLM responses is very uncanny valley and obvious.
agreed; and added a little education will go a long way.

online is a service provided by the parents; parents should probably know what the kids are doing online; though a kid will do whatever pleases them anyways - so thats where more education should help

not to downplay/say that FB/"social media" is innocent here, as their products are meant to be addicting (what was the experiment with FB and having intentional phone-app-crashes to see how fast folks bounce back into the app?) EDIT: clarification

(too many thoughts; this is a big philosophy rabbit hole with many tangets to other things - one could spiral into sugar here too lol)

Sometimes, wasting time is the point.
I was an early adopter of 23andMe. I bought many as presents and recommended it to many, many people. I even bought some stock after the SPAC (not the best investment :)).

I have no regrets, and still rooting for them.

There is something magical that I could spit in a tube, and my cousin could spit in a tube, and then weeks later we got emails saying "Out of millions of users we found your cousin just from spit!"

As kids we are lied to about a lot (the big guy in a red suit, for example), so part of growing up is verifying that what you are taught is actually true. If you did not major in biology, you don't have an easy way to verify that what you are told about genetics, DNA, and evolution is true. 23andMe provided that easy test for the layperson. I think that alone is worth the hundred bucks.

The joy I got from verifying DNA is at the core of life is like the joy I got from Intro to Electrical Engineering, building my first circuit with logic gates, and realizing that indeed everything is built up of 1s and 0s.

It seems they haven't developed more of a business beyond that novelty. I think I was expecting they would come out with future innovative offerings, given that their first was cool and done pretty well.

I was never crazy about the drug development plan. Seems like a more logical first step would be to combine with a fitness wearable company (Goog/Fitbit, Apple, Oura Ring, Whoop, Garmin, Samsung, etc), that there might be valuable insights from those datasets merged.
we don't need shareholder growth capitalism as it stands... we need sustainable capitalism that is in it for the long term. no clue how to achieve that as it stands though and ceos have short term goals/bonuses tied to short term profits.
Assuming you did and I understand your point, I disagree with it insofar as it applies to knowledge. Yes, JIT manufacturing of real things can be easily tripped up and it screwed us during the pandemic, but does that apply here? The author is saying "when you figure out what you need to read, go out and get it" rather than "keep a bunch of tabs and bookmarks hanging around in case you need them".

I am an advocate of learning broadly, instead of being narrow. That's not to say you shouldn't learn only the things you found that you need, but that it shouldn't be the only thing you're doing.

Books, I assumed, will be there if you need it.

The just in time example is a great example of why you need to read broadly. If you read about logistics about the pandemic, you would have learned about the weakness of just in time.
I AM the author, and I also am in favor of "open book" interviews. I'm not against ChatGPT use in interviews, but if you're doing it secretly in an interview that clearly is meant to be "closed book," I think it's fair to say you're cheating.
Legacy? I thought we were mainly talking about Tesla here in the comments.
I couldn't even tell you whether Gates currently votes Republican or Democrat, let alone his position on zoning or trans rights.

>The world is asking car companies to become tech companies

No, the world isn't. Musk started a fad of replacing the hardware that worked in cars with software to save costs and look "futuristic" on Twitter, and now everyone is racing to emulate the shitty parts of Tesla's approach, but EVs don't need to be this annoying and user hostile.

Just give me something with a battery and a motor who's only controlled by switches and knobs and the meatbag between the seat and steering wheel, no fancy software, no autopilot, no touchscreens. Basically give me a 2000's car that's an EV and not a smartphone trying to be a car.

Even the people who have been around a long time and seen innovation can be pessimistic about something new.

Plenty of car guys were pessimistic about reduced compression, 80mph speedometers, restricted intakes, and air injection tech in the late 70s-80s. They were right - it did little to nothing on economy, safety, and smog (cats were more effective).

It's not a leap to say that touchscreens are garage in a vehicle for most functions. Out of sll my comments ever made on here, that one is likely to age the best.

Happy owner of a 1973 chevy pickup checking in. My brother cannot figure out why I like driving an old truck, but if something goes wrong with it, after a search on youtube and a trip to the parts store, I can fix almost anything for under $500. He says if you drive a newer car, you don't have to fix things. However, his BMW X5 then needed a new transmission. Six months and $18,000 later, he doesn't ask me why I drive an old truck anymore.

Seriously, though, I was connecting to dial-up Bulletin Board Systems as a teenager, don't regret it at all, and would hate to deprive younger generations of the opportunity to go online. I ended up meeting a lot of older strangers, which overprotective helicopter parents would consider "dangerous" nowadays, but it was awesome, and I made a lot of friends.

No one knows about it! Which is ridiculous because batched requests with loras is mind blowing! Just like many other awesome backends like InternLM's backend, LiteLLM, Outline's VLLM fork, Aphroidte, exllamav2 batching servers and and such. Heck, a lot of trainers don't even publish the loras they merge into base models.

Personally we are waiting on the integration with constrained grammar before swapping to Lorax. Then I am going to add exl2 quantization support myself... I hope.
> To me, it's difficult to imagine anyone getting canned and thinking 'meh, no biggie'.

I think there’s a subjective component where it does feel like a big deal no matter what savings you have. But objectively if you can cover expenses for a year then it really is ‘meh, no biggie’ .

> Over the next 6 months, I read 30+ books on entrepreneurship, startups, marketing, “growth hacking,” and everything tangentially related I could find. And that doesn’t include the countless blog posts, articles, reddit threads, and whatever else I could get my hands on.

Self-help books in general (and entrepreneur porn books in particular) are notoriously thin on substance. It's no wonder that most of this was a waste of time. It's like saying that eating is a waste of time because once I ate nothing but peanut m&ms for a whole month and found that most of the calories were unnecessary for survival.

There are certain "related rights" [1] that are weaker than full copyright. These include, maybe most importantly, performers' rights, but also protection for things like photographs (ones that aren't unique enough to qualify for full copyright) and, in many jurisdictions, databases. These aren't covered by the Berne convention so vary quite a bit. But whether a huge chunk of floating-point numbers qualifies for any legal protection, remains to be seen.

I don't know how much of this is actually a problem with the shareholder model (though I hate it). From what I understand, the whole "legal obligation to shareholders" thing isn't actually a real thing.

What's more likely, I think, is that the CEO meant was that if he declined the offer, the board may fire him and replace him with someone who won't decline it. So if it's an eventuality either way, he may as well be the one to lead it.
I've never heard of name cheap pulling shady stuff like this but the name cheap has their own set of problems. If they don't agree with your ideology they will terminate your service.
That's like saying an executable that I never gave out the source to is "open source" because there's nothing stopping you from binary patching it.

Also, the license to the model assumes copyright (Apache 2) and works by granting you permissions based on that copyright.
Yeah, I generally disagree with this article. I stumbled upon HN in my mid-20s and I absorbed a _lot_ of industry knowledge by osmosis through reading it. I can say confidently that I'd be working a much less interesting job, living someplace much more milquetoast, and making way less money than I do now if I'd followed the advice in the article. Sometimes you need to go out on a limb to see what you're missing.
Sounds really unlike the real thing
[random advice from the internet]

Maybe a business loan (is that even a thing?).

It is a thing, but basically most intial business loans boil down to signature loans. You sign as an individual and you are on the hook personally.

Sure an established business might get a loan collateralized against business assets such as inventory, real property, recievables, etc. Or a line of credit for cashflow.

Anyway, the simplest thing that might work is charging more for the existing product so you can support existing customers.

In part because $1m/year is not enough to make sense to an established angel investor. But mostly because charging more money is a good way to make more money; a good test of viability; and the simplest thing that might work.

Finally, be clear on the competing ideas. One is getting a new job. The other is owning/building your own business. They are not mutually exclusive. You can get a new job and continue building your side project organically.

Indeed a plan to build your side project organically over a few years is not the only option. Another is to build a new project that is easier to turn into a business (maybe even one that resegments your existing product under a new brand).

Keeping in mind that getting other people's (friends, family & fools) money is a lot of work that doesn't bring in revenue.

Good luck.
You're leaving out a lot of information.

> The judge's opinion that the compensation package is "unfair"

This leaves out a fair bit of reasoning as to why. Under Delaware law, Tesla/Musk bore the burden of proof to show that the compensation package was entirely fair - that is, both the process and the price were fair. She ruled that neither were fair, and so under Delaware law the compensation plan was improperly granted and a remedy must be chosen.

> 2. Elon's brother being on the board, which some shareholders may not have known about, despite it being very public information.

That is a pretty minor factor, and I'm curious why you picked this specific one out. Just having a personal relationship with the beneficiary of the compensation plan is not necessarily improper in and of itself, and the opinion states as much. The issue is that a majority of the board and the Compensation Committee were not independent from Musk both in principle and in practice, and this was not disclosed to shareholders before the vote.

> This is apparently enough to overturn a rather old pay package. This reeks of a shareholder saying "Yeah right" at the time when it was voted on, and getting mad when Elon pulled off the seemingly impossible and skyrocketed Tesla's stock, meeting the lofty targets.

The lawsuit was filed on 2018-06-05. The stockholder vote for the compensation plan was on 2018-03-21, less than 3 months before.
Exactly. It used to be a perfectly respectable thing to have a factory that made decent widgets, provided a good life for the owners and employees, and made enough profit to gradually upgrade/squirrel away for a rainy day.

To be clear, Starlink is fine with defensive use, including Ukraine's cross-border counteroffensives that the US government sees as having a defensive purpose. They are very much already a military contractor, and Ukraine has gone through the proper avenues to receive the service for military purposes.^1

The problem is that the consequences of accidentally providing service to Russia, a country that is both sanctioned by the US (so Starlink would face headache-inducing legal problems in the US) and is conducting an offensive invasion (which matters because it's against Starlink policy), are considered far too high for the Pentagon to approve it without the use of hexagon geofencing. This hexagon geofencing means it's not as useful for crossing over the Russia-Ukraine front line. It is updated frequently to reflect the situation on the ground, but they can only provide service to a hexagon if all of that land has been taken back from Russia, so it will never quite satisfy how fast Ukrainian soldiers would prefer the geo-fencing to update.

It's likely that Starlink wants to refine this geofencing to be useful for Ukraine's cross-border counteroffensives, or to use some other measures to ensure the captured equipment and signals are not useful for Russia, but as long as the US Government says no, it won't happen.

---

^1: There was some usage of the service before it was properly approved, which was around the time Elon Musk was publicly saying Starlink wouldn't support counteroffensives and blocked off access in Crimea. But this is history now as Starlink is obligated by the Pentagon to support Ukraine, Musk's opinions do not appear to be guiding Starlink's current policies. Unfortunately this series of events has spawned some really confused news articles, angry Ukrainian soldiers on social media, and various partisan nonsense... the publicity and drama of it all pretty much overshadowed what actually ended up happening, which could have been much more interesting to investigate by anyone who is pro- or anti-ukraine, or pro- or anti-Musk -- or just anyone who is interested in how these military contracts work.

Right, it doesn't matter for the simulants.

But imagine you are a teenager playing "Universe Simulator", then you definitely want all your computer billion cores to be used to get a decent frame rate.
I'd accept software that helped with efficiency and battery longevity. It's not all bad. But those pieces of software are much more limited that what is packed in today.

They reason they won't build vehicles that you or I want is because people aren't willing to pay the $50k+ prices for an EV that has the equivalent options as a basic $35k work truck.
Yeah it seems like the author of this article just has piss-poor pre-selection mechanisms for deciding what to read.

The official IPFS client in Go has always been very, very hungry for resources. At some point it crashed because it needed to many file descriptors if it ran for too long. Even for a simple static site with infrequent update it needed some maintenance. But even if one was willing to put the effort in, it was not actually rewarded, because if your server were you pin your website is offline, the truth is that your site is offline too, so what's the point?

> Audio ultimately leads to a 1D data track.

Do people here really not know anything about surround sound, and multichannel sound in general? Apple's new surround support? Gaming use of Ambisonics? Film scoring? Do they really not understand how you need to mix differently for phone playback, car playback and "stereo system" playback (or at least pick one because that's the best you can do) ?

Sigh.
I also don't believe it's about memorizing word for word but the way most of these incremental reading apps are designed rely on cloze deletions to create the "flashcards" and so it is in a sense training your ability to recall word for word.

I can see incremental reading being good for researchers who might benefit from widely and incrementally reading an enormous number of papers over time. But in general, I think you get more improvements in knowledge and skills by going deep into one resource as opposed to going broad. Not to say you can't do both though.

Spaced repetition seemingly falls into the same problem, it's easy to fall in the trap of making more and more cards without questioning whether or not you'd be better off doing other tasks to solidify your learnings.

That does raise the question how irreversibly you have to process something before it is no longer protected by copyright.

Obviously zipping something is not enough, even lossy compression is (obviously) not enough. But then how does a language model differ from a lossy compression? Is it just the compression ratio? (are the weights even that much smaller than the data?)

There are ways to train models that guarantee that the amount of information transferred per data point is limited, but to my knowledge those aren't used (and may be prohibitively expensive).
Rendered images can only contain what rendering has been programmed into it. An image of a real scene has millions of bits of detail that are missing from rendered scenes.

Example: blades of grass. A rendered scene with blades of grass would need to render thousands or even millions of random blades of grass. Who can justify programming each and every one of those. A real scene contains all those blades of grass in the physics of focusing light.
I'm positive people want their databases to be correct. There are databases which promise great speed in return for occasionally losing bits of your data, and they get very little use outside of special uses.
I agree, I suspect this is more of a "new car" problem than an EV problem.
It's a balance. If you only read what you think you should read, you're exposed to "you don't know what you don't know"-effect. If all you do is read stuff (an albeit fun activity), you risk not doing much with the knowledge you acquired.
