We don’t have a tv in the house. And we don’t use our phones/iPad in front of our son. So the only time he sees a screen is when we are changing his diaper. The only exception has been when we are all sick we watch a family movie on the iPad with him. And if I’m being honest a few Saturday mornings I’ll watch a show with him while we are waking up.
Correct, as he gets older this won’t work because he will understand what I’m doing.
I’ve thought about writing an app that shows a pre set collection of videos from my photo library and then slowly turns down the brightness after a few minutes. If anyone want to build this let me know. I’d love to use it.
Hi Royce and Oliver, I have a suggestion: look into dimming the screen slowly for the last 30-60 seconds before you pull a person out of the app. This will greatly decrease the annoyance of being pulled out. It gives you time to anticipate being done with your session. I do this with my toddler.
We let him use our phone to look at family videos while we are changing him. If I turn the phone off abruptly, it can be frustrating for him at times. However, if I manually dim the screen more and more (and lower the volume more and more), it feels natural that the phone is getting "tired". He is then okay with leaving the phone.
Patagonia's stated mission is to save the earth and microplastics entering the oceans is a major environmental concern. However, it is also true that many of Patagonia's clothes are made from synthetic materials such as plastic. The use of synthetic materials in clothing (and each washing) greatly contribute to the problem of microplastics in the oceans.
I’m I missing something? Is the above wrong? Or is Patagonia lying about their mission driven approach?
"I'm not going to spill all the beans right now. But what I can say is that we are going to move to, just, to truly massive scale. Scale that no company has ever achieved in the history of humanity. And that has to happen in order to transition the world to sustainable energy."
"There is going to be a dedicated robot taxi that is going to look quite futuristic"
"The Tesla robot Optimus, this is, I think Optimis will obsolete what an economy even means. So it will be able to, basically anything humans dont' want to do, optimus will do it. It's going to be an age of abundance."
"It's maybe hard to imagine it, but as you see Optimus develop... It's really going to transform the world, event to a degree greater than the cars"
"And I think we have a shot of being in production, for version one of Optimus, hopefully next year."
"Cybertruck is coming next year, we will be in production with Cybertruck next year, we will be in production with the roadster, and with Semi. ...This year is all about scaling out, and then next year there is going to be a massive new wave of products."
My go-to test search term is: "grass-fed beef restaurant in sf"
You do much better than Google (Google will always include "Top 10 Best Grass Fed Organic Steak in San Francisco, CA" from Yelp and then link to places that don't have Grass-fed beef options.)
Where most of the results on Google are not correct. They are mostly articles about Steaks (and a few actual restaurants that serve grass-fed beef, so that is good). Actually, FYI your results don't include these restaurants. eg. It would be nice if this Google result showed up in your results:
"SF / SOMA - Belcampo
We source grass-fed and finished, pasture-raised meats directly from our own climate positive CA farms and seasonal vegetables from local farms."
What year will GTP be able to take an app written in Swift/SwiftUI and output a spectacular Android translation? 3-years? 5-years? 10-years?
This is an interesting benchmark because it is a very difficult problem, however:
GTP has both everything it needs to do this without needing a fundamental improvement to the core of GTP (this process is more of a science than art) and using automated UI testing GTP can check if its solution worked.
Thus this challenge is in the realm of what GTP already is, however, once it can do this it will have massive implications for how software is built.
Maybe he should try to sell the service as an API to search engines. E.g. I just tried the question "what's the best headache medicine" on the front show hn article: Andi https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30832589 and the result was "the best medicine is what your doctor subscribes you"
My first job as a UX designer was at a company named Mindybody.
You might not have heard of it, however, they are the world’s largest provider of scheduling software for Yoga studios (they process billions of dollars in sales every year).
I was their first designer and I redesigned their mobile apps and tablet point-of-sale apps (both are modern and decently well designed native apps), however, even today Mindbody still uses most of the stuff in this article for their web experience! It hasn’t changed since they built it in 2008.
Here is an example (close the ad for the mobile app to see the site):
Every time I apply for a job I worry they will think this is my work. [1]
[1] Technically I did design this desktop mobile app. The very first job I had was to adjust the colors and font sizes and replace out gifs on these pages (but the engineers and myself were not allowed to replace any of the underlying html/tables or the VB script that powers — besides a few minor tweaks).
Bookmarking for Nov 2026 — my prediction: GM and Ford go the same way as Volvo (sold to another manufacture) or have gone bankrupt and sold just for the name.
Also: "You know who Hertz CEO is? The former CEO of Ford.
And he didn’t order the Mustang Mex-E. He ordered 100,000 Tesla Model 3" - @WholeMarsBlog
And:
"To be clear, cars sold to Hertz have no discount. Same price as to consumers." - Elon Musk
So you have the former CEO picking Tesla (with GM, Volkswagen, and Ford losing out) and for the first time ever a rental company is paying full price for a 100,000 order.
As we saw with Inspiration 4, SpaceX is willing to take commissions, thus:
This might not be the cheapest way, however, if you can engineer a satellite to last 500 years [1], you could then have SpaceX put it up in orbit for over 500 years[2]. Have this satellite broadcast your website
via radio [3]. Then setup a trust with a consortium of lawyers to maintain a ground station network that hosts the website on earth's internet.
This way even if the earth lawyers/society fail you, you are still hosting the website technically, just not on earth's internet.
[1] Does anyone know if this is reasonably possible?
The sale of Volvo to Geely blows my mind in particular when you realize $1.5b is only 30,000 BTC. Geely bought Volvo for the cost of 6 pizzas [1].
[1] Ford paid $6.5 billion for Volvo in 1999, ten years later, in 2010 10,000 Bitcoins was worth 2 large pizzas, and 8 years later in 2018 Ford sold Volvo to Chinese carmaker Geely for $1.5 billion (30,000 BTC by today's valuation).
That's one take. Here is another: "$F holding the Feb 1 1994 resistance as support to the penny so far. Legacy auto gonna need some catalysts as chip shortage will be prolonged and billions in capital needed for EV development." https://twitter.com/JoTrader4/status/1434945782323589123
Haha, and then in 10 years when He announces X you will say: “since he’s had great success in pioneering self landing reusable rockets, starting a colony on Mars, pioneering the EV market, pioneering Robo taxis, making the first commercial humanoid robots, moving traffic underground, adding computers to people’s brains, he has now fallen for the idea that he can easily repeat that success in other areas like X”
This is going to be a good thread to come back to in 10 years. Maybe I’ll be completely wrong and need to admit I was foolishly optimistic in Musk’s ability, however, my guess is the parent comment will be hilarious/absurd in hindsight.
