Sorry, but that’s simply not good advice. Nobody is born with perfect parenting skills and is granted all the answers. In fact, many parents are not fit to raise kids at all, others are simply overwhelmed and need help.

It’s very easy to have a kid, not particularly easy to raise one. The idea that all your decisions are magically correct and sound just because it’s your own kid and that every parent knows best is simply wrong. It’s healthy to doubt yourself and to ask for advice.

Also, parenting science is not quackery. This is an actively researched area and there are real scientific efforts to better understand child development with respect to biology, psychology and neuroscience. These efforts do lead to a better understanding of how kids can be raised and how certain parental decisions might affect a child.

Personally, I’m happy each time parents try to inform themselves and seek the advice of others. That doesn’t necessarily mean relying on the answers a bunch of strangers give on social media, but I hope the Fediverse as a whole can do better.

Right now, I can’t make the claims you did in your post initially.

You’re not causing permanent damage to a child by letting them sleep in your bed.

I wouldn’t know that. Intuitively, I do believe that co-sleeping would have a lot of benefits up to a certain age, after the infant stage and dangers of SIDS have passed. However, I could easily imagine that there might be adverse effects after a certain age. Would it be likely to occur after a handful of times? Probably not. Are there any indications on the threshold maybe? Anything to look out for, given the kid might have anything else going on? Maybe. All information I would have on that subject would indeed be anecdotal though, and so in turn pretty useless. Why the dismissal of an honest attempt at getting educated?

I would indeed argue for getting an overview of what science has to say on the matter and then making an individual, informedndecision based on all the additional context I’d have as a parent that I could never cram into a couple of posts on the internet.

Having access to scientific publications, I’ll see if I can provide some material later.

Congratulations, this is how you get exploited by corporations.

I’d pay extra for that

Who says you can’t check their outputs? It’s much faster to e. g. read a generated text than to write everything yourself. Same applies to translations, they’ve been excellent for quite a while now.

Business communication can be handled effortlessly by AI. Of course you read the result before you send it out, but that takes an order of a magnitude less time than formulating and typing all those meaningless sentences.

And honestly, that’s a perfect use case for AI. I wouldn’t compose a love letter to my family using AI, but a pamphlet, feature description, sales pitch, any bullshit presentation deck? You bet AI excels at those.

Same applies to content summaries that help augment search indices. Finding a large number of content candidates (e. g. videos) and have AI summarize the contents of said videos to narrow down the search is helpful and works today.

I’m not looking for AGI. I’m looking for tools to make my life easier, but in an ethical manner that doesn’t advance the destruction of the planet at an exponential rate, just for some tech bro to jerk it and buy another yacht.

Those numbers are baseless exaggerations. There are plenty of tasks which they solve perfectly, today. It’s just that a bunch of dicks operate them, and the cost of operating them are way too high.

Also:

• environmental impact of AI
• unethical acquisition of training data
• dichotomy of how conservative politics treat AI company and private copyright law
• “undress AI” and deepfakes

It’s not that they’re not useful, that’s just nonsense.

In the same vein, I’d like to remind people that feminism is also for men.

As a start, I think bell hooks’ The Will to Change can be a good intro.

Is it actually Bulgarian though?

Thank you. I’m so incredibly tired of propaganda guilt tripping consumers to feel personally responsible for issues that should be regulated and fixed by a competent government.

Many places in the world mandate expiration dates on food items, no matter what the item in question actually is.

Water in a glass bottle? Expires in 24 months.

… and you could easily fix the whole situation by having the shed run a male extension cord out that could be plugged into the generator.

It would also be infinitely more whimsical, since it’d make the shed look like a little appliance with its own chord. Or paint everything and call it a tail, the possibilities are endless.

“Well, let me just plug in the shed real quick”

Most people will run a post 2.6 kernel, so prlimit will be available as an interesting alternative to ulimit.

They’re absolutely right, that is the cause 85% of the time. Make sure to get a non-conductive pick made out of plastic or wood (e. g. literally a toothpick) and remove the dust by circling around the little protrusion, then clean the rounded corners with a little hooking motion.

“Bro gotta go” should work

Why did you post this exact, inane comment in two threads?

For comparison, an American store brand toast:

No, it’s not. This refers to pre-packaged bread, e. g. white bread, toast etc. - the stuff you find in a supermarket shelf, full of preservatives and other additives.

Once you have figured it out, it’s actually a nice workflow. Don’t get me wrong, when I’m not publishing a paper, I quickly forget all commands, my whole setup etc. and start from scratch, cursing a lot and retracing my steps in the history, basically re-learning the framework. I’d still never move away from ggplot2.

It absolutely does, on Android at least. On iOS, given Apple’s restrictions, the whole situation is a bit more complicated:
