Unless you have a zero screen policy with your kids - which I can definitely recommend - the trick is to give them incredibly small doses and being consistent with it. My son is 6 and he is perfectly happy with 30 minutes once a week when his younger brother is taking his nap.
We tell him it’s not good for him, which is why we limit it. He occasionally complaints, but most of the time he is looking forward to the 30 mins, and will close the iPad on his own when the timer ends. Consistency is key.
Second advice is to not give them authority over what to watch. No YouTube. Spend some time curating what will be acceptable. In the first few years (we started allowing it when he was 3) they will watch anything. Just stay of the dopamine stuff!
It helps that we never have the tv on when they are awake. Break your own bad habits first - but that’s general parenting advice…
Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts. I had a chat with a friend with a 2 year old and he also underscores the importance of consistency. We already stay off the tv most of the time so hopefully that helps. Any recommendations for what to watch in the early years if not on YouTube? Thanks again.
If I see this many questions that could have been taken straight from an FAQ, all followed up with “great question, we do so and so..”, my alarm bells go off. Shady marketing indeed.
Nitpick of the nitpick: in international sports, the preposition used is "of", as in "Pan Zhanle of China", as an elision of "of the Chinese team".
Now, I could make up reasons for this, like not every athlete is strictly "from" the place they compete for, but a just-so story isn't needed here, prepositions are what they are, often arbitrary but always specific.
We use their earlier Mixtral model because it outperforms llama for our use case. They do not release full models for marketing purposes, though it definitely grabs attention!
You may need to revise your views..
I think it’s a fair comment. A lot of readers on HN are adept debuggers, and will start to analyze everything from the first paragraph. By burying the lede like that, it feels like wasted time, to have begun debugging before the (incredibly important) part about the unusual setup was revealed.
Seems almost implausible that the protagonist, with his technical knowhow, did not think of this earlier..
Anyway, it’s a matter of storytelling, and that matters!
I may have just picked this comment to express overall frustration so for that I apologize.
But I don't know - writing is something that comes in a flow. This wasn't some deliberate clickbaity thing by the author, they just wrote it in a way that that made sense to them.
It also seems that the author themselves did not consider the setup at first, which happens, as sometimes we have tunnel vision.
You may criticize his abilities I guess, although overall it just felt like an account of things as they happened to the author, not considering how someone might be trying to guess things once they publish it.
So yeah, I don't know, I just feel like there's too much negativity sometimes. But maybe I overreacted.
fwiw I don't think you overreacted. It's not like anyone's making hbn read this story. it's like complaining about the movie Titanic, that because we know the boat sinks, its not worth watching.
the alternate version of this post goes "I fixed my dad's Internet. The neighborhood's tree grew too tall and blocked the signal so I upgraded the 10 year old hardware. The end." How much less fun and interesting is that?
The “browse with bing” feature allows it to fetch a single webpage into the context, but the new cutoff allows _everything crawled_ to be context (up to the new date, that is)
I would assume that the majority of the animals that humans kill are kept in captivity and therefore not exposed to other animals. Since this breeding/captivity is happening at a staggering scale, my second assumption is that animals have absolutely no way of keeping up with humans.
I would also like to see the numbers of kills by non-humans too!
I’m quite appalled actually, seeing it laid out like this, and I eat my share of chicken and fish..

Good luck to us all!
