Edit: The most, most important thing is to understand who your child is. That won't be who you are or wish you were, nor is it entirely likely to be who you want them to be.

As you both understand, because the person they become is a journey, maximize that person! If you get that done and keep their life choices and agency intact, you will have done very good by them.

The most important thing is to discuss appropriate expectations and then set them.

When your child meets those expectations make damn sure it matters.

When your child does not meet expectations reasonably and appropriately set, find out why first and foremost.

Make sure you are helping them where they need it most and you are not getting in the way when they need that in their lives.

From there, wash, rinse and repeat!

Ideally, this is a life long conversation they come to value as you become mentor, friend, helper as they grow to take on the reigns of their lives.

I did it this way and am pretty happy with the outcomes. I wish some things had gone differently, but I can also say I went to the mat helping to prevent it.

My own experiences growing up were why I run it this way, and I get to do it twice due to raising my granddaughter! She is great and I am actually quite happy she is with us. A bit sad we won't have the time we want, but we believe we will get the time we need.

My learning was out of sync with a lot of my primary education. Some things were a real struggle too. The whole thing was colored by poorly set expectations I quickly came to ignore and obviously not meet.

Looking back, the ones I met were because I wanted to. The reasons were interest, could see value or how I might use the material, or threat of negative consequences.

"Worth it" came up a lot.

Memorize all the multiplication tables through 12x12 or fix that old TV I have been poking at? My school actually sent me to the TV shop across the street! Amazingly, I learned a ton. It was something I really needed and benefitted huge from.

The multiplication tables worked out. Really needed them a year or so later and it got done.

Write the essay, or finish that sprite multiplexer? No brainer, write assembly code, do magic? Home computers were amazing and some essay on some tepid topic was torture when I could see something about how to make that computer do something.

Learn to fix my car, or take the bus to school for a while again. No brainer! Fix the car, do some work, get cash for parts!

One parent understood me. The other was painful. I had an uncle and other adults familiar to our family there to help mentor me, tease out the good stuff and make sure I was making good use of all that.
A word whose popularity ordinarily does to ordinary discourse the very ordinary thing it criticizes.
But they often don't have an easy way to get to the library, or a quiet place where they can sit and watch a Youtube tutor, or even a trusted authority who tells them that all of this is worth their time.
Interesting tool, congrats on the launch!

I was wondering: have you thought about automation bias or automation complacency [0]? Sticking with the drop-tables example: if you have an agent that works quite well, the human in the loop will nearly always approve the task. The human will then learn over time that the agent "can be trusted", and will stop reviewing the pings carefully. Hitting the "approve" button will become somewhat automated by the human, and the risky tasks won't be caught by the human anymore.

I use Suno like a producer in a music studio hires musicians to bring ideas to life. I wish more features in Suno would empower music producers. I sample pieces, re-mix doodles, get ideas to continue my tracks... I can see the future, and as an amateur, it's just liberating and a lot of fun.

>only because they can vote

Domain specificity of "weak link"-hood, as well as the compounding of innocuous, sub-symptomatic "weak links":

Carpenter Tom is a hard-worker, great husband, and community leader. And he voted for an autocrat, against his explicit interests (benefits from ACA, benefits from undocumented immigrant labor, benefits from special-ed resources for his kids) because he dislikes keeping abreast of current events (poor reading speed) and made his decision based on a misunderstanding predicated by, essentially, a game of telephone across his personal network that warped facts about the candidates.

He's a "weak link" on the subject that counts - the matter of the vote - but otherwise an upstanding member of the community. You're going to disenfranchise him?

I sympathize with the rest of your comment. I do think it's a bit naive to think that these programs help even of a fraction of the poor kids they should be reaching. They seem to mostly be a way to section off semi-affluent kids in "lesser" schools (e.g., parents who can't move for work or family reasons).
> The problem is not the lack of a good manifesto, is that people don't get it.

I think that is the problem though. It's still a system for human beings, if the majority of human beings aren't getting it, not sure it works.

I can etch my commandments on stone tablets and show some people, but unless they both understand what I'm trying to say AND actually believe it, I don't think my stone tablets are really doing anything.
Finland did cross the old borders in parts, but we specifically didn’t participate in the Siege of Leningrad and refused all German demands for assistance.
This is the "proximate cause" but anyone who "knows the world" knows that arbitrary power leads to corrupt abuse of this sort quite directly. IE, sure they stopped cause they "found problems" but one would expect such problems existed from the start and are inherent to a system of seizing cash on suspicion of ... something.

Which is to say it's not that no one read these explanations but that such explanations aren't meaningful and the real answer is politics as many have mentioned in other comments. That is to say, the mystery is what exact politics lead to this pull back now.

Show HN: Nfig – An API for AI agents to browse and do tasks on the web
Hi HN,

We've built an API for AI agents to browse, click, and do tasks on the internet. My cofounder and I had early access to GPT-3 when it launched, and we were stoked by it. That's when we decided to build a tool to make UI automation faster and more reliable with AI. Three years later, here we are with Nfig.

Nfig converts natural language instructions into actions in a browser, and you can try it for free here: https://app.nfig.ai/.

With constant iterations and training, we've been able to bring down the cost per request/step to $0.005, which we believe is the lowest in the space.

We're stoked about where AI agents are taking us and believe web interaction will be a core part of most agents. So, we wrapped it around an API that everyone can use to build their agents.

Use Cases We've Heard:

• Showing live demos
• Creating product video recordings for sales and support questions
• Automating market/candidate/prospect research from multiple sources
• Testing your own software
• Building APIs for websites that don't offer one
• Providing in-app customer training

Personally, I think there's so much more—it's all about imagination! Looking forward to hearing your feedback and seeing what you'll build.

For more details, check out our blog post: https://blog.nfig.ai/introducing-nfig-cm3wmvfa0005gjdc76tmby...

Ars is controversial on YC news. Who knew?
Did anyone check the course material of the gifted programs? My honest assessment is that even students in a gifted class are not necessarily challenged. For instance, the math problems of 6th-grade gifted class on negative integers are something like "calculate -1 - (-2)". In contrast, an easiest problem when I was in the same grade would be something like "N is a negative even number, and K is a non-negative odd number. What is the smallest value of K - N". My point is not to brag how challenging my school work can be, but that most kids need careful nurturing to maximize their potential. It really pains me to see that so many kids squander their time just because the schools do not do their jobs.
Maybe I'm spoiled by TypeScript but this is how I'd do it in a structural typing system:

type ConstrainedByW =
| { w: false, x: false }
| { w: true, x: bool }

type ConstrainedByY =
| { x: bool, y: false, z: bool }
| { x: true, y: true, z: false }

type ProgramState = ConstrainedByW & ConstrainedByY
You don't need a single type to represent the entire program state.

We probably both agree that separate types for shipping methods, priorities, size, country makes sense.

The API can be designed to prevent illegal transitions between types to arrive at an invalid state. The exact implementation depends on the language.

> The idea of encoding all of this business logic into the datatype is a road to madness IMHO

The alternative is hoping that every developer remembers not to violate any of the implicit and unenforced rules.

If the system is too complicated to be represented in code, can a human realistically hold the entire state machine in their head as they make changes?
The violation of rights isn't great, the article also mentions seizing cash which may be just as bad or worse in some cases. One person cited in the article was traveling to purchase a truck and the deal fell through ($30k), an elderly man and his daughter had $82k siezed (why they were traveling with that much cash wasn't mentioned).
Still using xterm, don't plan on stopping anytime soon. It's not the simplest terminal in the world, not by any means... but it's never blown my foot off and I can trust to just work.
IMO any student that is 1-2 years ahead can be considered gifted for the purposes of parents who are thinking about how to optimize public or private education for their kids.

Based on how a lot of education systems work in the US (recognizing only discrete progress in a student), if your child is 1-2 years ahead then that's worth recognizing and start nurturing. That's about when public schools also recognize the giftedness of a student.

You don't need brilliant children to achieve this kind of advantage, just a careful eye and consistent nurturing.
Then you had Don Quixote where the Enlightened materialism made fun on the old-fashioned, Middle Ages' idealist Don Quixote (and vice-versa on Sancho Panza, a common hick) until they complement each other along the journey.
naming and shaming

Corporations don't feel shame or any other emotion.
AI doesn't work in a vacuum. It requires high quality training data. StackOverflow has historically been a major source of such data. Besides it, there's mainly just GitHub, but it's not the same, as the text description of code isn't the same.
theres just so many anecdotes/nightmare stories from people using fly.io here much more than the ones linked by GP

The issue is time, attention and guidance. Well-off kids have parents who are usually well educated and who (if they arrange their priorities appropriately) can make time to spend with their kids. Poor kids do not have such parents; their parents usually wouldn't know where to begin, and even if they did, they don't have time to spend with their kids if they're working multiple jobs that they get fired from if they're late.

If you let a random kid loose on the Internet, they will probably find propaganda / political / incel / gaming / porn / alt-right bullshit, because that is simply what the majority of the Internet is. I remember folks doing experiments back at Google in the '00s where they set a user-agent loose to follow links at random on the web, and the result was that you always ended up back at porn. Kids need some form of guidance to say "This is worth pursuing, this is not worth pursuing", and for a gifted kid, it needs to be someone who can personalize this guidance to their own interests. An involved parent can do that, but a teacher who is literally trying to keep their 30 other students from killing each other cannot.
Prop 13 had a huge negative effect on quality of public schools in California, which I got to experience first hand.

The difference was quite apparent to me during high school when I compared my older siblings’ yearbooks to my experience of the same school a decade later. They had so many more classes, clubs, sports, programs, and activities available to them than I did.
The other last-modified-plugin is now archived, and no longer included in the default Jekyll, but the sitemap and seo plugin still seem to rely on the page.last_modified_at property, albeit undocumented (https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/issues/9702), so might be worth getting the implementation switched upstream perhaps?

We show the last-modified date on endoflife.date products (https://endoflife.date/jekyll), but I'm not sure how we have the property set right now, since I don't remember including either plugin. Thanks for creating this, I have a few other sites where this will be quite helpful.
I like it. I pay for it. I expect it’ll go to shit when the money tap is turned off but I’m enjoying it while I can. I’d rather see a bunch of VC money subsidise destined-to-fail developer tool businesses than… not, because the technical founders of these companies are typically using VC money to pay for things they want to make and at least some of it is open-source.

Warp is good, it’s a step up from iterm for people who spend a bunch of time in the terminal but don’t want to invest their brain power into emacs or vim or whatever is real nerd software nowadays. $25/month is basically free for the amount of time I use it. I’d pay $25/month for anything that makes my life marginally easier.
ha. My comment meant to show the oxymoronic state of the system. But I think it offended everyone. -3 points already!
> Not sure about the charisma part!

Software developed on a team where everyone has different values/principles... some times it's not the technical discipline that is required, it's convincing folks to adopt these patterns and stick with them that's the hard lift. :)
> In a management directive issued on Thursday, the Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General said it had been hearing complaints about the searches for years — and had recently learned new information that suggested there were significant problems with them, including potential constitutional violations.

For years... The recent info is (of course) a passenger recording their encounter.

> The IG said investigators could not come to any conclusions about whether the searches involved racial profiling because the DEA does not collect data on all the people it stops — only on the cases in which money is seized.

Data on seizures seems like a solid start. Why don't they have data on searches?

> “The Department has long been concerned — and long received complaints — about potential racial profiling in connection with cold consent encounters in transportation setting,” the report said, adding that the DEA between 2000 and 2003 “collected consensual encounter data on every encounter in certain mass transportation facilities as part of a Department pilot project to examine the use of race in law enforcement operations.”

> But neither the DEA nor the Justice Department “drew any conclusions from the data collected about whether the consensual encounters were being conducted in an unbiased manner, and in 2003 the DEA terminated its data collection efforts,” the report said, and “its consensual encounter activities continued.”

Complaints for years, yet decided to stop recording data... That's sketchy as hell.

> The IG found that the search was based on a tip by an airline employee who passed on the names of passengers who had purchased flights 48 hours before departure.

> That employee was being paid by the DEA a percentage of the cash seized, the IG found, and had received tens of thousands of dollars over several years. That arrangement is problematic, investigators concluded.

"Fight crime with crime" seems to be a fairly widespread attitude amongst government agencies (reminded of the TSA article yesterday), but this seems particularly egregious.

I do celebrate STFU Friday, every day, but airports are kind of a different situation.

If they decide to detain you for a couple hours, you're gonna miss the plane and you aren't going to get a refund or a transfer or whatever. The is so much incentive to play along that doesn't exist at a basic traffic stop.

Poe's Law is hitting me in the face right now. This is satire, right? I can't quite tell (seriously! please tell me)

If it is satire, it's quite subtle and well done. It references the old reasons why "Agile" was invented (current software development processes being bureaucratic and meeting-intensive, the new one will be lightweight and engineer-led).

If it is not satire, the juxtaposition is striking.
Love this so much, not in the way intended. Its just so strange! I can't put my finger on it, but feels like something Tim and Eric, or Tim Robinson, or even Alan Resnick would have a hand in.

There is a kind of aesthetic immanence to whole thing, everything is right on the surface. The voices are only just embodied "enough," their unearned confidence, their "affectations." The deadpan delivery on an absurd stage. The colors all feel like a cake that is too sweet. Like approximating a memory of a broadcast.

It is hilarious and beautiful. No notes.
An extremely niche product for things like video editing studios, not something you can deploy at scale in colocation/datacenter environments. Literally never seen rackmounted apple hardware in a serious datacenter since the apple xserve 20 to 22 years ago.
Confiscation (and punative consequences) of contraband impacting the immediate safety of passengers should be the only result of submission to warrantless searches at an airport.

If there's a warrant (for search or for arrest) then go ahead and execute it at the airport or anywhere else.
In the US, fuel taxes and tolls combined only cover about 35% of the cost of building and maintaining roads. The rest of the cost is covered by the federal, state and local governments.
> Before anyone starts rambling on about politics too much on any side, i blame all sides.

Only one side is consistently obstructionist toward progress.
Agile is like communism - it sounds like a great idea. Except it never seems to work anywhere, and everywhere that it turns into a train wreck consisting of 45 minute daily stand-ups and 3 hour meetings arguing about T-shirt sizes or whether points are equivalent to time or not, the only explanation anyone ever proffers is, "well, you weren't doing Agile right".

No fucking shit. Nobody can do Agile right. I would argue that if something is so hard to get right, then it is effectively worthless.
Curious, why Mandarin only? Is there something about the language that makes it more feasible or more attractive to the business?. FWIW I would consider using something like this if it could teach Japanese.
Thank you. I "stealed" the name from scala. They have the similar value+error type. Maybe in context it rill the better name could have been "Item"
Focusing on the dictionary definition of the word "recall" seems pedantic.

Not all recalls are for big mechanical problems. I've received several recall notices for issues that just required the dealership to flash the ECU or some other controller with new firmware. Whether that update is flashed OTA or with a special dongle at the dealership doesn't really make a difference if you're looking at it from the perspective of vehicle safety/reliability/stability. The point is that a recall is a significant enough issue that the manufacturer _must_ notify their customers about it.

I agree that if you count _every_ OTA update as a recall, you can't really do an apples-to-apples comparison. The cost of pushing an OTA update is much lower than the cost of a recall, so Tesla probably pushes a bunch of minor OTA updates that other manufacturers wouldn't bother with. But it's a fair comparison if only some subset of OTA updates are counted as recalls (i.e. updates addressing a safety issue).
Waymos don’t drive slowly, I don’t know where you’re getting this from. If anything, they drive too fast for a thing without a driver.
I totally agree, but I also think it's just not geared towards us because of our age and preexisting beliefs of "what podcasts/news/videos are supposed to be". Think of kids around age <12. If they'll keep consuming AI-driven media, they'll take that as normal and won't blink twice if that becomes the de-facto standard in about 10 years.

It's the same as short-video format for me. Sure, I can watch some TikToks from time to time, but making them, or continuously getting my news from them? Yeah, that's not gonna fly for me. However, for my niblings (age 8-17) that's basically where they're getting all the "current affairs" from. Microtransaction is probably one of the easiest example as well. 15 years ago, anyone who bought games would laugh at you if you said every game that you paid $80 for would also have endless amount of small items that you can buy for real money. Right now? Well, kids that grew up with Fortnite and Roblox just think that's the norm.
Because this misunderstanding and limitation is so common, BitTorrent has workarounds in place.

That's why I proposed having a "build team" where you ask an individual to run your compiles for you, rather than dealing with an impersonal CI system. More Agile.

The old Manifesto sounds nice, but it's more a reaction (overreaction?) to some pathologies of the time than something that will get you very far without otherwise knowing what you should be doing.
