Should be a smartphone ban, which would actually be enforceable.

How? Parents would give smartphones to their kids.

That's like saying parents would give meth to their kids. Make the crime equivalent and you'll find they won't, or if they do, they won't have their kids for long.

Parents are obviously far too stupid to do what's in their children's best interests re social media and smart phones. That plus the general indifference most parents have to this kind of thing mandates state interference. Banning social media for them specifically is a pain for everyone involved, just ban the phones - simple.

How is it more enforceable? It seems far more clear cut than 'little kimmy has an iphone 74++ pro but can't have snapchat' or whatever stupid app predators are using in year X. If little kimmy has an iphone 74++ pro it's getting confiscated and her parents fined at a minimum, that should make them strongly re-consider in future.

I think desktop computer use under some level of parental supervision is fine, but smartphones are not appropriate for kids at any level. I can't see any benefit whatsoever to under 18's possessing one.

Then you'll need to address elections too, banning such parents from voting - or standing.

So... ban laptops, tablets .. and any other device under 10kg?


The key issue wilfully ignored by the mob.

He also wrote this post with AI if I had to guess.

Yes, It was written by AI because I'm not a native English speaker, I don't want to make any grammer issues. ( this reply is not by AI :-)

Your linked site has an AI-generated blog.

If this were about grammar, it would be appropriate to translate something you wrote, not use generative AI to create it.

This whole thing is an ad. All the post's sentiments that people are engaging with ("imposter syndrome" etc.) were spit out by a clanker.

What a disheartening start to my morning.


They even wrote "grammer", to garner sympathy. Crafty.

It should be law for software that if there is a server component which requires hosting, or any such limitation, the company must opensource the code and protocols such that somebody could host it themselves after support is stopped.

Applies to games, hardware, whatever - if it isn’t economically viable to run, let the users.


I have to say it sounds insane. 5 tabs of claude, back and forth from terminal to browser - and no actual workflow detailed. Are we to believe that claude is making changes in parallel to one codebase, and if so - why?


Hey, could I ask which stretch it was?


Look for the reply with "Frog Mobility" in the body, I posted in reply to another comment.


They also don’t support code formatting of inputs. You’d think after 3 years out whatever theyd have resolved that.


They're too focused on hiring ML people and not enough on hiring highly experienced web people.

The painful slowness of long chats (especially in thinking mode for some reason) demonstrates this.


I keep zooming but the profile pictures never get bigger!


Per capita is a pretty useless stat. I'm much more interested in why there are particular cities where being stabbed is much more likely than in my rural village, per capita.


Cities are generally worse because that's where the organized crime is, and a nasty spiral of people carrying weapons because other people are carrying them.

Scotland used to have the worst reputation for stabbing until the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence_Reduction_Unit incredible success. You won't hear about it in England because it reflects well on the SNP.


And the government defrauding the English of their own homeland while pumping in misinformation by the petabyte while simultaneously calling everything else misinformation isn't hostile activity?
