More than one teacher in high school told me I should appreciate my time there because I'll spend the rest of my life missing my time there. I told them if this is what I'll be pining for in the future then I don't see any reason to last that long.

Now in my 30s, I check every day against what my life was at that time. My life has only ever gotten better. Even on the verge of a fascist hell

Did they move to ai or am I missing something?

You're missing the ever ilusive "stretch-to-fit collie"

I literally mentioned nebula in my comment. The problem is nebula doesn't have the the majority of the names. It's now a few years old, it's stable, but it will never compete in the media market if everyone is still on YouTube.

It is, and they're not beholden to regulations like TV is so they can literally tell their audience to throw a tantrum until their parents install the new app they use.

Half of the biggest names on YouTube have become millionaires off of the platform and all know each other professionally if not personally. I don't understand why they complain about the difficulty of dealing with youtube and their incredibly unreliable management when they literally have the money, the popularity, and the business acumin to create their own, far better version of YouTube and take huge swsths of YouTube's viewership with them.

Mr. Beast may be a predator and a sociopath, but if he did a coutdown and give away for a month advertising his permanentl move to something like Nebula, then ported everything but a single video explaining why, he wouldn't even need to invest in the business, the subscriptions he'd bring in alone would rocket them into the top slots for streaming.

Cooling wouldn't be too hard, I'm currently overengineering an Xbox 360 for that so I've done a good deal of learning. Getting of to display video is outside my skillset though.

So I'm picking up that it's not a viable alternative for the desperate?

Adding to the pile, babies sense your fear.

Really though, they pick up on tone and body language and it can make their panic worse. Start making a mental checklist of needs and focus on that. Hold me, diaper, hungry, burps, teething, mom/dad, toy, pet, sleepy, panic. Keep your tone happy and confident, it helps them feel like it's less of a problem. Right now, you are the god to them, if the god is scared what does that mean for us mortals?

Find your comforts. It may feel like they have preferences, but what they're responding to is just as much you as it is the stimuli. My boy didn't understand the noise that magically appeared when he was colic, but he did understand that dad could tackle any fit he had while listening to Dido's Life for Rent album. Eventually the hopeful melancholy and sleepy tones because a comfort to him as he grew to understand the noise.

Find a stuffy that you and your baby both like. Everyone suggests getting 2 and cycling them so they don't have to go without if it's lost or damaged or dirty. I personally found that hard to do because he bonded to an anatomically accurate squid plush from an aquarium I've never been to so instead we made it a game, this is how squidly takes his bath. The uniqueness of the item made it easier to find and hard to forget.

Find children shows you can tolerate or enjoy. Sarah and Duck from the BBC did wonders for me, it was quite enough to wear an earbud over and engaging enough to watch if I had to. Bluey seems like a similar choice, and I grew up Scooby doo so I never minded. It will save you the suffering that is children's media if you curate it before you get there.

Don't be afraid to ask for help or take a break. We're hardwired to feel bad about not responding when a baby cries, but you're no good to that baby if you're no good to yourself. If you need to lock yourself in a bathroom and cry or call family to take over, or just make it through a grocery store without getting puked on, do what you need to do to make it happen. They won't remember you letting them cry it out but they will remember you being a hood example of mental health.

On that point specifically, hit me up if you're limited on peers with parenting experience. Shoot me a DM, I'll give you my contact info. Goes equally for any reader in need. Sometimes you just need a chance to have an adult conversation or say fuck without worry, my doors are always open for that.

Not an AI guy, but I do like using niche hardware wrong to get results cheap. Can anyone tell me what this would be like for gaming or general computing? My 1660 super was a budget pick when I got it back in '18.

Oh easily. Hell, they could even use their scrapping methods to support law enforcement as clearly they can find a lot of material. Unfortunately, law enforcement works for pedos and those pedos invest in AI so there's a genuine interest in a kiddy porn machine.

You just bore out the barrel insert to receive the casing then reinforce it with 100% infill in petg or nylon. It's not a perfect solution but my experiments last about 100 rounds before things get loose. I'm eyeballing injecting epoxy into low infill models next.
