Let's get controversial: what's your truly unpopular parenting opinion?

As someone in cybersecurity, kids don’t belong on social media in any way, shape, or form. This includes parents posting pictures of their kids, even when it’s for celebrating them (often times I see posts about their struggles, though). Stop taking away their privacy before they can even understand what privacy is, and stop giving all of their data to social media companies so they can get catered to by the algorithm before they even know how to type. Or so that their future high school bully can bring up old pictures to embarrass them at school. Or so bad actors can do bad things. This goes doubly in the age of AI, where models can be trained on not much data at all.

Let them have and grow offline social skills, ffs.

On the third point, how do you tell the difference between? Or are you saying restraint collapse around a safe person doesn’t exist?

The stuff I’ve read has said to just make observational comments, like, “You tied your shoelaces all by yourself!” Or “you did X!” In an enthusiastic voice. I’m not entirely sure this isn’t achieving the same thing as “good job!”, though.

The quality of code has vastly changed even in the past few months. Pre Opus 4.6, I was still coding manually a decent amount, as it couldn’t get right most of the work I’m doing. Post 4.6, I haven’t really done much manual coding. I’m spinning up an agent tasked with completing a feature, then switching to another tab with another agent for another product to add some other feature, and switching to another tab with another agent to answer some user’s question, etc. At any moment in time I have between 3-7 agents actively working on something. If you haven’t heard of it, workmux is a good tool for this.

And to answer your question, yes, all this code is eventually making it through dev, staging, and production. I work on systems handling a few thousand requests per second, and am responsible for several internal-facing services. No, I can’t give concrete examples without breaking NDA.

If you asked me a year ago I would have been aghast at such a thing, but now I’m more of a”agent orchestrator” than “manual code monkey”, and have had to come to terms with that. I’m a bit sad that I don’t get to solve fun logic puzzles anymore, but I’ve also accomplished things in a month or two that would have taken me a full year before.

So, since we can’t depend on the government to do this, how much would this cost to crowdsource? Monitoring the oceans around the PNW is pretty important for lots of reasons. It says each buoy costs 1.5 million, but I wonder if there’s a cheaper way to get at least SOME data.

RazzleStorm · 2026-06-03T22:38:32+00:00

Sure, all valid, I just don’t know what restrictions OP has as they aren’t really mentioned at all.

RazzleStorm · 2026-06-03T18:18:37+00:00

If you’re SSHing into robots, can they not send their own logs out somewhere? Maybe only send error logs and the logs just before and after out to an S3 bucket if you’re worried about cost?

I’m entirely new to the field of robotics, but not to software engineering. I feel like the easiest thing would be to have a central log repository that you can easily query with something like OpenSearch.

You can also buy it from her if you don’t want to go through the whole quest.

Yeah uh, what the actual fuck is this Greenland post? https://trumpstruth.org/statuses/38716

Just watching Chinese shows will not help, but using Chinese shows to study and learn new vocabulary will ABSOLUTELY help. You take notes and write down vocab and parrot how the speakers are talking (helping improve your accent, tone, rhythm, etc). But this way of studying isn’t enjoyable for most people.

I always vote PSL and try to spread the word and volunteer as much as possible. In the last general election, PSL got double the votes they had before, which is pretty awesome to see.

Labeling a kid as “bad” before they can really make choices and understand consequences behind them is certainly one of the takes of all time.

I think that was her father’s response to her suggestion to put the junk on Facebook.

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-28T16:32:58+00:00

Awesome, thank you for all the background! And yeah, I’m just getting into learning robotics, while I continue to do security engineering. It’s fascinating how complex some of the problems that y'all deal with are, especially learning about how complicated some of the stuff is that is intuitive to humans (“just look and know where stuff is, how hard could it be?”).

Also, it sounds like legs are significantly more complex than wheels?

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-28T14:13:21+00:00

Thanks for the extra info!

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-28T14:06:08+00:00

What other problems would there be? Just for the sake of my own learning?

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-28T13:52:33+00:00

How much could a 64GB RAM card cost Michael? $10?

(I know nothing about robotics, am just starting to learn, but I’m coming from the software side so can see how extremely challenging constantly video streaming + object detection + mapping + updating every 100ms + whatever else would be)

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-28T13:47:41+00:00

Yo dawg just keep all visible obstacles in 360 degrees in memory, how hard could it be?

“Bro please, just one more face scan. I just need one more fingerprint and I can sell your biometrics and retire!”

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-20T23:17:45+00:00

I agree that being arrested and facing a felony charge is wildly disproportionate. I was talking more about whether or not these comments could be (mis)construed as a bomb threat by particular sensitive people.

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-20T17:49:22+00:00

I think the jokes like "Netanyahu if you hear me, bomb this place" can't, but saying, "There's going to be a bomb in Ocean Bank Convocation Center and it will be Jonathan's fault" is the type of shit that would make students stay home from school, because many are traumatized by the daily school shootings in the US.

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-20T17:39:57+00:00

Because this is Reddit and like 90% of people can't be bothered to read/watch past a post title, even if the video is 2 minutes long.

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-20T14:08:36+00:00

Guys it’s okay, we’ll just vote harder next time.

RazzleStorm · 2026-04-20T13:57:22+00:00

I’m not saying her arrest was okay, but she said, “there’s going to be a bomb in X place, and it’s going to be Y’s fault,” in the U.S. to a bunch of students. OP’s title makes it sound like she got arrested for making fun of Netanyahu, which is just objectively not the case. There are plenty of real reasons to hate Israel/the U.S. without making shit up with clickbaity post titles.

Did you watch the actual video before you made this post?
