At first, I thought that websites designed by an AI were just tacky.

A couple of months later, I was starting to really dislike them.

Now I'm at the point where I just hit the back button.

The biggest drawdowns happened under a president that prides himself on being a rule breaker. So what rules would have prevented this stupidity.

It’s a political oil reserve at this point.

The might have fixed some issues but the fact that it is only available for homescreen websites and that the link to add them there is buried in the UI is very stupid imho.

I don't think I implied or assumed that children are logical creatures.

As an adult, do you like to be "told"?

Ask your kid how he likes to be treated.

Treat your kids as adults when they reach puberty, problem solved. Never act like they are too young for anything. Just explain how the world works and let them figure it out. Just don’t get mad at every stumble along the way. Be there for them if they need you.

I say this unironically. The “Move fast and break things” approach works wonders for the relationship between parents and children.

You don’t need intelligence to be a good father. Good communication skills, discipline, empathy, patience, humility, clarity and predictability are all traits that don’t require above average intelligence.

Why do people insist on making predictions for the future with today's numbers and constraints? Inference costs are plummeting, mostly driven by Chinese inventions.

In my experience only people from the US are afraid to exercise their freedom of speech when conversing with friends, family and colleagues.
