It honestly looks more like a really, really bad photoshop cutout to me (weird but consistent edge, nose issue my be a blowout). AI generators I've used tend to get lighting more or less consistent but with edges that can waffle between blurry and sharp.
We tried our best to be transparent about our approach - you can actually download the code for the workflows from the app.

Genuinely curious - what more would you expect with 'AI workflows'?
I think I’m missing your point. Would you rather I had not posted the age for people outside the US?
there still has to be some ranking feature for the backend search database to return the top n results to the LLM. So pagerank isn't over, it's just going to move to a supporting role, and probably modified as the SEO arms race continues.
Which in America is the year that it becomes legal to use social media, if anyone’s wondering (not like it’s specifically illegal under, but collecting data from users under this age isn’t allowed so the networks don’t allow it)
> If the government wants to increase the birthrate, then they should something about childcare expenses, like make them tax deductable, instead of building OkCupid.gov.

Meaning daycare? IIRC, they are already tax deductible to a point (see: Dependent Care FSA).

But it's interesting and kind of depressing that the solution is always to make it easier and cheaper to shove kids into institutional settings, because the assumption that the gaping maw of capitalism must consume a maximum amount of every adults' time and energy is unquestioned.

Institutionalizing childcare is the best for capitalism, because it captures the parents' time with paid work and creates a product to suck up their money with. Too bad about the kids, though. Capitalism comes first.
The “indie web” is something you create, control, and own like a personal site or WordPress blog.

There is nothing indie about using a third-party platform to host content.

Remember how indie Medium used to be until they paywalled it to death?
Seems pretty strange that this eccentric political campaign is allowed to flood HN with posts and comments on a near weekly basis at this point.
I have not done anything like this, but the USPS has " USPS Operation Santa"[0] so kids send letters using the actual postal service and people can adopt the letters.(I have no idea if it works outside the US, I think it maybe?)

Maybe something like this if you want to keep it local.

For example. If you have some type of networking or regular meeting for the neighborhood already, ask for volunteers to reply to letters dropped in a community "mailbox". Make it a letter reply "holiday event" for the community, where people gather at a pot-luck/food and a lot of pens and Santa themed stationary. As long as you trust those in the neighborhood to not troll some kids...

[to add] I would guess parents that take the kids to the "mailbox" to drop off the letter would be willing to take the time to pick up the letter at a cental location, or allow a delivery address to be included that you or someone could drop off at front doors, maybe on Christmas eve? But I personally hesitate on that part because I dont know people in my community, hardly at all, and I am paranoid like that and not that kind of trusting

If the kids are "parented" by terror, not actual teaching, they will have a problem once they leave their bubble.

Never met that guy who drank every day at university or that opressed girl who fucked 50 people in the first year?

Sheltered and not parented kids end like that. Breaking the chain syndrome.
There is so much value in blue links turning purple and showing the same content on repeat visits.

This kind of permanence is a huge loss
You're supporting the wrong team?

I've also been hired after similar "non-interviews". Sometimes it's hard to know if it's just disorganisation/incompetence or if there's outright fakery going on.
> Feature flag development culture is the only practical way to do continuous delivery.

1. That's not true. Even with continuous delivery, you can still just have a sane and mostly stable roadmap that you're betting on, and gradually migrate all your users along it in a cohesive way with thoughtful transitions when any radical changes are needed. Feature flag stuff is a specific approach to product design that took over a lot of engineering teams in the last 15 years. It relies on continuous delivery, for the most part, but continuous delivery is itself completely ambivalent to it.

2. Continuous delivery is rarely necessary in the first place, and almost never in the interest of users. It gained ubiquity as it became first became practical and coincided with product designer's naive enthusiasm for feature flags, but mostly works against user satisfaction by making it hard for users rely on their tools being in a specific condition at any time.

That's a valid robots.txt, but "proper" is entirely dependent on what you want to achieve. If you aren't looking to treat different bots differently, and are looking allow all of your site to be indexed, then that is exactly what you want.
Agreed 100%. Additional factors on top of all those is some countries start year 1 at age five, and others at age 6, and of course there's a variety of actual ages within a grade as well.

"Wait Until 9th" would have definitely helped a lot. "Wait until 14" might be even clearer. Or even "wait until high school".
Name one legit use case.
Year 7's regular age range is 11-12: you're 11 going into the September that the school year starts and will be 12 by the end of the following August.
Then block social media. Don't let the kids install apps, don't let them access the web, control who they can message. Why is the phone itself the problem?

till I read it, i thought it meant the 8th of November,† and I was thinking "does this have something to do with the election?" I was a little afraid to click "take the pledge" for fear of what I might be supporting

† obscure trivial point of US law for fer'ners, US elections are held on "the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November" which puts them anywhere from Nov 2 to Nov 8, so that's why "wait till the 8th" is an election trigger. (I don't keep track of the date of the election this year, I just need to know it's going to be on Tuesday)

A Hamiltonian Circuit for Rubik's Cube
You can solve a (legally scrambled) Rubik's Cube with no knowledge of its initial state, as long as someone stops you when you've done it.

You also need several billion years to do this, so it's not recommended for beginner solvers.
I see where your coming from (and I'm an indepedent since you mention Trump in your alias, so would like to open to both sides of an argument). But I kind of agree with keeping smartphones from kids. Yeah, like anything that is "really good" to an extreme degree, it's addictive.

And you do mention this that kids should learn to get a sense of moderation, but like other addictive things (hard drugs, alcohol and actually porn is supposed to be restricted), we keep them away from kids until they're at an age when they can handle it better.

also, I personally think spending an entire day watching tiktok is just so wasteful, feel like you've lost a 100k brain cells by the end of it, blah!

But to each their own.
Ah yes, the version released in 1998. Let's ignore the 26 years since then...

I've been using Delphi since Delphi 3. The only really breaking change I can recall was the Unicode switch. And that was just a minor blip really. Our 300kloc project at work took a couple of days to clean up the compiler errors and it's been Unicode-handling ever since. It's file integration and database heavy, so lots of string manipulation.

Most of my hobby projects didn't need any code changes.

In fact, the reason Delphi was late to the Unicode party was precisely because they spent so much time designing it to minimize impact on legacy code.

Not saying there hasn't been some cases, but the developers of Delphi have had a lot of focus on keeping existing code running fine. We have a fair bit of code in production that is decades old, some before y2k, and it just keeps on ticking without modification as we upgrade Delphi to newer versions.
I usually say items or members, but entries basically means the same thing, and js set objects have an entries method, so there is precedence.

> For manual labor there's no amount of money you could pay Americans to be farmworkers.

If you don't think Americans are willing to pick fruits and vegetables, go find a farmer, have him put a sign at the edge of his property that says "Free fruits and vegetables, you pick them yourself" and watch how quickly the field is emptied.
The 2000s-2010s was incredibly rewarding for curious kids, not just because of what was out there, but because of the effort required to get such payoffs was high.

The reward of watching porn on the family computer was sneaking down the stairs at 3am, hoping no one heard the dialup tone, finding the right website, and waiting for the pixels to load.

Later, that moved into bedroom and with faster internet, and the result was slightly less pixelated boobs. And it was just out there, to be watched.

The internet today is not there to be observed. It's to be consumed, and then to stalk you even after you've left. It's not even at your fingertips anymore; it's in your bed, at full resolution, recommending you products that you actively ignore but passively absorb.

At that young impressionable age, the passive inputs are definitely the ones to monitor

> Amazingly this means we can solve a Rubik's Cube without ever knowing what the original configuration is, as long as we can ask at any time if the cube is solved or not.

I think you mean current configuration? Otherwise it's kind of silly, the original configuration is irrelevant once you know the configuration you are currently at.
Seems perfectly plausible that the phenomenon of ghost jobs is real and it may be getting worse.

But this SF Gate piece is dumb. The article has one source for its data points and the author does nothing to investigate or challenge the quality of that data. This is not journalism. It looks like a PR piece for resume builder.

The Forbes article you linked is much more informative.
Pretty much secondary school in the UK (12+). I'm guessing middle schools / high schools in the US are the same? Yes, literally every kid in secondary school has a cell phone. Kids have whatsapp groups and communicate all the time with their friend circles.

According to an Ofcom survey in 2023, 9 in 10 kids aged 11 have a smartphone in the UK.

Of course. But they (well... he) intentionally avoid crawling mainstream internet, and also, the results are censored (just like with other engines) - it's not exactly what I'm looking for.
> the best designs are based on the most information, and there's a lot of information that is not available until later in a project

This is an important point. I don't remember where I read it, but someone said something similar about taking a loss on your first few customers as an early stage startup--basically, the idea is you're buying information about how well or poorly your product meets a need.

Where it goes wrong is if you choose not to act on that information.
Grew up with a few guys who made pro teams and travel didnt help any of them or any of the other schlubs like me. Many of the best guys didnt even do travel for money or other reasons. We would have been better off playing at the park on the weekends.

Since we're on HN, I think using LLMS instead of humans to talk is a bigger issue than whether an applicant is mass applying outside the site with LLMS. We should address that first and that will fix the issue anyway.

>At the very least it should be: "Please only post a job in this thread if you are committed to responding to all qualified applicants."

Too easy a loophole. I think we should just stick to the spirit of the rule and see if they make an honest gesture not make it literally 100% of applicants (ofc of they want a principal and a student in school applies they shouldn't expect a response).
Photino sounds almost identical to Maui Blazor Hybrid. Do you know the difference?
This is a bandaid on a bullet hole. The root issue is that tech leaders (yes, these decision-makers are real, individual people, let's stop diluting accountability!) have forced themselves onto us and our kids with tracking, data mining, personalised advertising, distortion of facts, dark patterns, addiction-forming products, plausible but false AI content, brand-compliance, and all sorts of other user exploitation.

The social media/internet landscape as it exists today will probably be the smoking of this generation – everyone is doing it and many will die prematurely (due to stress, depression, lack of motivation and purpose, addiction), or waste so many years of their life consuming product that it will be a pretty good equivalent for dying early. And while banning the equivalent of cigarettes for kids a damn good idea, we definitely need to quit scrolling ourselves into a premature grave, too.

Why are we consuming it? Participating in the popular internet today shouldn't be "wait until 8th", but "wait a moment, you don't want this in your life, and the people around you don't want to deal with you involving them into it second-hand either".
I look at the first flowchart and think to myself, were all the product managers, business analysts, and UX designers drunk when all of that was getting implemented?

> Let’s protect the elementary and middle school years from the distractions and the dangers of a smartphone.

> … because of unrealistic social pressure and expectations to have one.

Sorry, but I do not agree with the equivalence of a device and one of its possible usages.

My kids got their first smartphone at the ages of 5-6. (dramatic pause)

When I was younger me and my siblings got a camera, a Game Boy, a watch, a walkman, a calculator, a stopwatch and small handheld battery-driven games. Later a tamagotchi and whatever was trending. Also we were taught to use the phone-booth in case of an "emergency". While you do not have to agree that all of us needed all of this, nobody would've said to "wait until the age of 13" with all of this.

The phone I gave my kids were retired Android smartphones with Lineage OS installed. Almost all Google Apps removed or disarmed. I preinstalled Apps like: a calculator, camera, a secure messenger (Threema), clock, navigation (OSMAnd), a few educational games, a paint/drawing app, a calendar and added the most important contacts (Parents, siblings, grandparents) to the address book. We added more apps over time when we felt they might benefit from them.

We agreed upon usage duration and modalities. We mostly moved their TV-time towards their phones. We explained how to ask before taking a photo of a person.

What happened? My Kids started to get interested in how to read/write, used the navigation software during road-trips to find the next possible stop to have a break or try to find POIs along the road and wait them to pass by. They played with the calculator, started to learn English (non-native if that wasn't obvious, yet), started to "program" robots, send me "good nights" when I was late at work. Call me if they spontaneously decided to stay with a friend after school. Take photos during their holidays, listen to audiobooks during road-trips. Play with the torchlight in the tent.

The older one is now 12. She got access to our family calender and contact list, so she can plan her appointments with friends around ours, manage her ToDo-lists, make stop-motion videos, research all sorts of stuff on wikipedia, gain a very good understanding of how those devices work. Learn to take care of expensive gears and how it matters to have control over their own data and that backups are important. She learns how to manage her data plan by moving audiobooks for offline-usage. Also she helps her grandparents with all sorts of technical problems they have with their phones.

Yes, it's more work to teach a kid how to work with all this stuff than just throw an iPhone at them when they turn 13 and say "whoa, finally old enough to figure this all out." What could go wrong. Sorry, that I'm a bit salty on this topic (and I sometimes might not find the right words due to the language barrier), but just saying that a smartphone is bad because parents do not care for what their kids are doing with the device just feels plain wrong to me.
I don't see a reason for my children to have smartphones until they're driving themselves to their own job and social functions.
For H1B/PERM, I remember they had to post it on the wall in a public place. Our company posted the jobs on the wall in the lunch room at our office. It has every information including the salary. I guess things have changed a bit since the early 2000s?
Dependent means it would not be physically possible to live in an area if it did not have air conditioning. For example, you would die very quickly in Phoenix, Arizona if you did not have air conditioning. It is not physically possible to live in 50°C heat for any extended period. Most of the southern portion of the USA was only sparsely settled until the invention and deployment of air conditioning. Krugman is on it.

Fair! In this case though I meant small in terms of adoption—it looks like there are some alternative Ghost hosting providers, but none of them really have name-brand recognition in the same way Ghost does, and even Ghost is one small player in the "non-Wordpress subscription blog / mailing list" space. But a lot of my comment comes from watching the Redis / AWS Valkey split as well—even if Redis stayed as a smaller team instead of trying to compete with the hyperscalers, they'd still be stuck in the same catch-22—watching their revenue dwindle to zero while AWS and GCP competed on proprietary platform features.
The kid who plays wow at least plays in a group.
And Dostoyevsky.. "Crime and punishment" is one of the worst books I ever read. You van literally skip 90% of it. Could be a 2 page short story.

Out of curiosity, what are her phone habits like?
And, as others have mentioned, you can turn on parental controls to limit what apps she can have on it. Have you done this already?
Parent here. This is a LOT easier today than it was 5-10 years ago.

It feels like there's been a generation divide where younger kids are not as insistent on smartphones as the older kids were. Maybe it was covid. But also there's a lot of negative sentiment even amongst kids about smartphones - that they are addictive, encourage anti-social behaviors, and enable bullying. "Brain-rot".

Our local school district banned phones during school hours just this last year and there has been an overwhelming positive sentiment from faculty and kids.

We don't otherwise do things like track screen time. Our kids have videogames and computers and tablets. But we're providing a dumbphone in late grade school and so far there are no protests to get anything else.
Thanks for trying - and for the fair feedback! We'll look at the AutoFix result and improve it.

Our goal with the default patchflows is to provide a starting point/template and let you tailor it to your needs from there. E.g. with the 'Generate README' workflow, you can add the 'Read File' step to read the existing file and pass it to the context to update it rather than generate a new one from scratch.
I was an academic in a past life. I left before I made it a profession, but I spent long enough there to see what I'm talking about. The people with the most successful careers get there by getting press, which doesn't usually correlate with academic rigor.

That said, I grant your broader point about selection bias.
I agree.

I didn't want to add a wall of text for context :) And that was the only time I've said something like that to a client. I was not being confrontational, just telling them how it is.

I suppose my point was that there's a cost associated with increasing reliability, sometimes it's just not worth paying it. And that people will usually appreciate candor rather than vague promises or hand-wavy explanations.
> 1) Many people or orgs who are aligned with Ghost and want it to succeed long-term will be okay with paying a bit more for hosting on Ghost(Pro); they might see the extra cost as paying for the continued existence and development of their publishing software.

Or the number of customers who would pay an $X premium to have "Ghost(Pro)" over another host (at the same features) will be roughly equal to the number of people who would spontaneously donate $X anyway. We have ample evidence that affection isn't enough to keep FOSS financed unless the developers are very visible and the ratio of developers to users is very low.

Apple's Q424 results: $95B revenue–with a twist
I had a little side project I was working on a while ago that would ingest "Who's Hiring" posts every month through the HN API and analyze month to month when each one came and went, in order to call out the companies posting the (according to some heuristic) same ad for months and months, never actually hiring anyone. I was going to snarkily call the tool "Who's Not Hiring?"

Obviously a company -actually- hiring the same kind of person month after month would be a false positive, but I thought it might help to catch some of these companies abusing "Who's Hiring"
