Its kind of shocking after having an infant myself and hearing from his grandparents how little my wife and I's fathers did. One never changed a diaper and has never cooked dinner and the other looked like he had never held a baby in his life despite having 3 kids. I can't imagine not being incredibly hands on and involved.
There’s often been a “kids are mom’s until they’re dad’s” thing going on - dads do whatever with babies and younger children but the older children get heavily involved.
Of course, 50+ years ago diaper changing was often skilled labor (as was cooking) - it’s much easier to change a modern diaper and cook a modern ready-to-make meal.
It is just as easy to cook a meal from fresh ingredients. What exactly do you classify as "ready-to-make"?
I am incredibly allergic to the U.S.-American understanding of cooking as this unfathomably difficult task. No wonder there's an obesity crisis across the pond. The worst thing is, this unhealthy relationship to food seems to be exported all across the world these days.
>I've felt this way for a long time, but for the past month I've kept a journal where I put an "X" next to every date where a GitHub outage has negatively impacted my ability to work2. Almost every day has an X.
I must be a filthy casual because I'm sure I can count on one hand the number of times a Github outage has affected my work.
>I acknowledge not everyone has the privilege to spend $99 on a pair of jeans, but if you find yourself able, I think it's worthy to support American manufacturing.
I feel like I'm in a parallel universe. What year is it? Base Levis are more than that... We're also on a site filled with well off tech workers. $99 jeans aren't exactly a luxury.
Man, I have no idea what is going on here, but your link takes me to a page for 501's for $110, yet just clicking around I found this page [0] that lists what to me looks like exactly the same jeans for $85 and with an option to "Buy 2+, For $55 Each". I'm still moderately convinced that $99 is ~double the actual market rate for a pair of Levi's and even Levi's are upper middle-end in my mind. Wranglers don't look as good but they're just has hard wearing and cheaper in my experience. (For what it's worth I've worn everything from $25 Wranglers to $300 selvedge denim and my conclusion is that ~$50 Levi's are sweet spot of price/comfort/looks)
The contrast of your two perspectives kind of illustrates the information void (of quality vs price) in the article.
At Walmart it's common to get jeans (including Levi jeans) for < $20. But how long will they last? I honestly don't know, and even more I don't know how to definitely pay more for better quality.
Yeah I get that but it's not as though we're on a forum for foodstamps recipients. The median income on HN is no doubt top 10% in the nation and often far higher. Talking about $99 jeans as some great luxury is literally from a different universe.
So long as I'm fortunate enough to be able to clothe and feed my family, I'm not giving Walmart -- probably the most destructive company of all time -- any of my dollars and I don't care how cheap the shit is there.
>I just got a few pairs of shoes from AllBirds because while the name will live on I have no doubt the quality will become pretty generic now that it's no longer a Silicon Valley must-have thing.
Didn't get the memo? They're an AI infra company now ><
No, Opus has found a lot and 112 vulnerabilities were reported to Firefox alone by Opus [0]. But Mythos is uniquely capable of exploiting vulnerabilities, not just finding them.
I think that would be a good precedent given the current lack of rules around AI Safety. These models don't seem to be plateauing yet and could be much more dangerous than Mythos in 1-2 years.
Terrible take. You don't get to push the extinction button just because you think China will beat you to the punch.
>This is the very nature of being a human being. We summit mountains, regardless of the danger or challenge.
No, just no... We barely survived the Cold War, at times because of pure luck. AI is at least as dangerous as that, if not more. We have far exceeded our wisdom relative to our capabilities. As you have so cleanly demonstrated.
You assume there is the option of not pushing the extinction button. Nobody asked chimps if they wanted humans around. This processes are outside control.
