If we don’t stop it there, it’ll spread faster here.

Same argument they make why we have to keep giving Israel money to kill Palestinians...

What the fuck are you even talking about?

> AI is going to do better than I could

I don't know about that. Lots of people use AI to write text for them, saying "AI makes it sound better"—but the truth is, it doesn't make it sound better. It makes it sound a lot worse, and pisses off the people you want to read it. So does AI draw better than you could? Well, if you did the drawing, would it make your customer base hate it? Because AI art probably will. I don't know if that's "better".


Maybe there's a hair top be split with regard to 1) presenting your written piece to an LLM and asking for feedback (not dissimilar to the role of an editor for authors—or, you know, just reading it aloud to your spouse to elicit feedback) versus 2) asking the LLM to write it for you wholesale.

I have done the same with artwork (although not exclusive I must confess). I draw a thing, upload it, and ask the AI to draw the same—perhaps adding, "Make it appear to be an ink and brush style perhaps akin to a mid-19th-Century illustration for a children's book."


> Entertainment companies have unlocked the infinite money glitch with remakes; not only companies but also people are afraid of trying something new, so why not profit from nostalgia.

The thing is, though—Ocarina of Time is a good game. It was a good game almost 30 years ago when it first came out, and it's still a good game today. But there are generations of gamers who never played it. So why not spend some money to polish it up for modern audiences, and release it for newer consoles?


If you haven't tried Pokemon Pokopia, it's really excellent. A great mixture of Pokemon, Minecraft, and Animal Crossing. Largely developed by the same team at Koei Techmo that did Dragon Quest Builders 2, and it has a lot of the same structure and feeling of that game, but replaces the combat with building environments to attract different Pokemon. It's been a system seller for the Switch 2, and deservedly so.

Thanks for sharing that, that was just a nice story.

I agree. Today has some very good stories on Hacker News, best day I can remember.

When a company is acquired, sometimes the company's products get a new lease on life, and sometimes the company's products are killed, or allowed to die.

How do you evaluate the merits of a graph of information? I usually read articles like this to learn something, not to grade someone else’s assignment.

> without your jealous 1-star reviews

What makes those reviews “jealous”? Jealous of what?


> the US will probably take action against Yemen and Somalia

So we’re losing 1 war, and your solution is to start 2 more?


It's the neocon version of "you wanna supersize dat?"

[flagged]


Naval blockades are an act of war even according to US own laws.

A ceasefire dictates by definition that a war is on.

> Firstly, there is no ongoing war with Iran

Talk about mischaracterization. The head of the Department of ~~Defense~~War has called it a war many times. The President has called it a war many times. Members of Congress of both parties have called it a war many times. It's a war my dude.


Oh, there’s definitely hard parts of having kids—but changing diapers isn’t really one of them.

The truly hard part is putting them to sleep

At 8pm, and then 10pm, then 10:30pm, then 12am, then 2am, then 3:30am, then 5am.

As an expectant first time parent, this is the bit that I'm bracing for most.

Relax: it only lasts a few months. Rarely more than 60 or 70.

It’s rough at first but you will learn the baby’s rhythms and preferences. If you track their sleep and wake up times (I did it the old fashioned way in a notebook) you’ll see a pattern emerge pretty quickly, and then it gets easier because you will figure out how to work with it.

Every baby is different so most of the advice you find won’t work, but if you try enough things you’ll eventually find something that works consistently. Or you might just luck out and get a good sleeper.


The big tip I have for you is to understand wake windows. Babies can get too tired to sleep(!) so you need to make sure to put them to sleep roughly 1-1.5 hours after they last wake up.

Highly recommend getting a sleep tracker app.


Follow a routine every day. I posted elsewhere in this thread what worked for us. It was tough when they were infants because neither of ours slept through night till about 2. The routine saved us.

try co-sleeping, and also a comfortable baby-carrier that allows you to carry the baby around while keeping your hands free so you can work. the most difficult from babies not sleeping is that they are not supposed to sleep alone. see attachment theory. the other advice, if you can follow it, is to sleep yourself every time the baby sleeps. again, co-sleeping makes that easier.

I dunno, we found that our kid slept slightly better moved to his own room at 5 or 6 months old. Although that meant maybe 4 wakings rather than 5. Now he's nearly three years old and sleeps solidly for 10 or 11 hours. My guess is that food and metabolism have a big part to play.

My mutant power is the ability to put babies to sleep. Before I had my own I'd put other people's kids babies to sleep easy peasy. It's something I've been able to do since I was a teenager.

Or waking them up for school... (A correlated problem)

I agree, I never found changing diapers that difficult or bad. I was also hardened by years of chronic insomnia so the sleep disruption wasn't a big deal, I took most of the night-time duties to let mom sleep.

The thing I remember being most annoyed about was cleaning all the bottles. That was really obnoxious.


Honestly the hardest part of changing diapers is when they get bigger and insists on wiggling everywhere while you are changing them
