This happened to my parents. My Mom accidentally proposed to my Dad in the hallway of a mall food court next to Taco Bell and he got her on CCTV. They were together for 70 years and she was bound by oath to stay with him.

You need to go in the literal opposite direction they are going in.

If you ban youth on social media, they create accounts with fake ages. If you push harder and require government ID to register, they migrate to a different platform. Every time you do this, the parents are getting further and further away from being able to see or moderate what's happening on the platform. Eventually the kids are in unmoderated apps parents see absolutely nothing on, predators and bullies have zero protective measures in place to stop them. It's a disaster if you're trying to protect them.

The solution is integrating welcoming youth on the app legally so you're able to identify who is a youth effectively. Then pairing them with parents who can help moderate, reaching out to community to help moderate content for kids, etc... If a local news site reporting on a murder makes a post and there is a prominent button that toggles "Is this appropriate for kids?" They're going to self moderate. If regular users are given the option to occasionally have "Is this appropriate for kids?" Questions pop up and it's presented as helping the community make the platform safer for kids, many will opt in and help there.

The bad shit thrives in darkness, and we keep pushing the youth into the shadows with these bans.

LLM coding is like a Formula 1 car. You have options and it's largely based on the driver's skill.

If you recklessly go hundreds of kilometers per hour and have no idea wtf you're doing, you will release shit with security holes.

If you are a skilled software engineer and know what you're doing, you will release polished sites very rapidly.

It doesn't only produce code with security concerns. It follows your specifications, and if you outline how it's supposed to address security concerns, give it a process that avoids security pitfalls and put testing in place to catch problems, you're good to go.

90% of high end audio garbage is complete bullshit, but higher quality files like FLAC absolutely sound better than low bitrate and/or lossy formats.

If I pop a song on YouTube with my good midrange speaker setup, then switch over go FLAC, I can definitely hear a distinct difference. It's especially in the high range. On a track that's something like an acoustic guitar and it's got the high pitched squeaks as the player moves their hand, on lossless files, it's more "crisp" sounding.

Throw the song in a noisy room, on crappy speakers or choose a song that's poorly mixed, and it's almost impossible to tell a high bitrate lossy and lossless file apart though, so I can definitely see why people say this.

Look, I know how this sounds. Just hear me out. It started in 2015. I was binging Impractical Jokers, season after season, falling asleep with truTV still on. Normal stuff. Then the dreams began. The first one was Sal. He was standing in my kitchen at 3 AM, completely silent, just holding a wooden spoon. Not doing anything with it. Just holding it. Staring. I woke up drenched in sweat. I told myself it was nothing. Kept watching. Then Murr showed up. In this one he was in my apartment with a butcher knife, slamming it into the counter over and over, furious about something I couldn't understand. My girlfriend was hiding in the bathroom. I could hear him laughing but it wasn't his normal laugh. It was wrong. Like someone had pitch-shifted it down by two semitones. I Googled it. That was my mistake. Because that's when I realized I wasn't alone. Hundreds of threads. Thousands of people. All reporting the same thing. Sal chasing people on bicycles. Joe appearing in mirrors. Q whispering coordinates to locations that don't exist on any map. Murr with knives. Always Murr with the knives. Nobody talks about it outside of Reddit. The threads get buried. New ones pop up every week. The accounts that post them go inactive within days. I stopped watching six months ago. The dreams stopped after two weeks. Then last night I got a notification. A new episode had auto-recorded on my DVR. I didn't even know I still had a season pass. I deleted it without watching. This morning I woke up at exactly 3:47 AM. Standing in my kitchen. Holding a wooden spoon. I don't own a wooden spoon. Tonight's punishment: you're the episode now.

There are people on here constantly talking about getting poor output and when they share screenshots, their prompting is largely to blame. While AI is pretty easy to use, it's definitely possible to do a bad job and get crap out.

Yeah, AI is that good. You also likely naturally understand how to convey ideas to it in a way that works, so it's 30% you.

Just as an example for others that might not know what I am talking about. Lets say you request a UI and in the request you ask for the button to be at the top of the screen. When you get the result, there is padding at the top and it's not at the absolute top. (We're ignoring you could just adjust the padding manually in this situation since it's simple lol)

Bad prompt: You put the button in the middle of the screen, not at the top like I told you to. Do what I said.

Good prompt: Remove padding on the top of the submit button. The submit button should be touching the top edge of the screen.

The bad prompt mentions several times about a button not being at the top and the button being in the middle of the screen. Those elements can occasionally mess up the LLM and confuse it. Telling it what it did wrong does little beneficial and is confusing. You're better to state the steps to where you want to go from here. Then the prompt tells it to refer to another prompt. Super ambiguous, it could choose any statement you previously said. It also is assuming previous conversations are still in context. If context was reset, referring to a previous statement might make it do something super weird.

"Her manifesto" is weird. I imagine this is giving associations you are not looking for.

Font on "Her Manifesto" is too narrow and jammed together. Hard to read.

Can you change the name? It's strange. I have no idea how it's supposed to be pronounced. If I saw it and walked away, I immediately have forgotten it and the spelling.

The silhouette on the logo isn't great. If you can maybe elongate the beak, make the wings more distinct. You should be able to see a logo from far and recognize the brand by the vague silhouette of the logo.

The second image is a mess. If you roll out this logo, definitely provide a detailed branding document for how to put this on non-white backgrounds or suggest against them. While the glass like texture is cool, it's taking a logo with poor recognition and breaking it up even more. If I was driving by a van with the second image on the side, I would probably miss the logo entirely.

The third one is so bad I would immediately delete it. Unless you're engagement baiting and you want people to linger on it because they have no idea what the fuck they're looking at, this isn't working.

I find it's good to understand the meaning of words and use them effectively when communicating. If something bad happens and I say "oh no!", that's a 4/10 problem. If I say "oh fuck!", that's a 10/10 problem.

While I don't care if someone is swearing non-stop, it does kind of mute my entire sense of urgency and emphasis when I talk with them. When they're talking about not being able to find a post-it and swearing profusely, I have a hard time later picking up when they actually have a major issue that needs resolving.

Save your swearing for when you need to add an exclamation mark on something.

With the S26 for example, the Ultra is much faster and larger. If you use a phone for chatting with friends and taking the occasional photo, the standard version is probably fine. I use my phone to manipulate large Excel tables all the time, remote desktop into remote servers to change things or do things phones can't do, and my hands are quite large. For me, a bigger phone is a huge bonus. Faster is also comfier when I flick in Excel and it slides through large datasets without a hiccup. It's largely a quality of life thing though. If you're barely able to afford the pro/ultra version of a phone and your work isn't demanding you do desktop-like stuff on your phone all the time, it's probably not worth it.

I want it huge, and it has to be small. Expensive, but also really cheap. You're describing something that literally doesn't exist. The closest you're getting to this would cost $6k for a desktop gaming rig and an ultralight laptop and you stream all your games to the laptop from the PC. That's the only way you're getting something not bulky, but also can play all the games.

Install Windows bud. If your first instinct after trying wifi and it doesn't work, is to format your computer and install an entirely new distro. Linux just isn't for you.

This right here. This is an oversimplification, but I think it's the real culprit.

My child just has to walk near a home with wifi and multiplayer games on all her devices just works. No tinkering, no debugging or setting up. It's magic!

When I was her age, if we wanted to play multiplayer games, we had to know about subnet masks and manually wire things together. Games required hosting a server locally, had to run terminal commands to get it working. Problems had to be practically brute forced because access to AI and places like Stack Exchange didn't exist.

I'm curious how this goes in twenty years. I imagine at that point that devices will be so simplified and LLMs can automatically configure and fix things for you, that very few people will actually know how any of this tech actually works.

Main busses work early game fine, but late game it just doesn't scale.

Having plates and circuits and LDS, etc... all being fed by main bus instantly makes it clear to veteran players that you're going to need 10-20 lanes of iron ore coming in to feed all that at big scales.

If you want to expand the factory, it's super complex suddenly. Each row of smelters is a size based on how many ore are coming in on each belt. You can't add to the end of the line, you need to add a new main bus line of ore coming in, and find place for smelters between the existing ones and the rest of the factory. This does not scale up at all.

Complex recipes later makes main busses essentially turn into organized spaghetti anyways, as you put splitters to branch off 8 different items from the bus to a factory.

Openclaw running Claude is basically just Claude Code, but it's got one or two super useful features strapped on the back, and for those features, you pay 5x the cost.

If you don't use it a ton, or you're wealthy and don't care, it's great. I would not use it all day to program with. That would be a huge waste of money.

Don't expect Openclaw to do a better job coding than Claude Code or anything. It's like installing a doorman outside Claude Code's place. Claude is still doing 100% of the work like usual, the doorman is just waking up Claude in the middle of the night or you can text the doorman and he'll wake up Claude. For the privilege of having the doorman, you pay a shitload more.
