Even with an easy baby, I could still 100% imagine (if I had the talent) writing something like your handoff note because it’s clearly very well-optimized for the specific need of reassuring someone [the SIL] who’s *freshly new to a task* that, should they find themselves in the throes of the peak difficult parts of that task, that’s normal and not their fault and here are all the strategies to try
Plus it’s just good high quality tongue-in-cheek humor! Someone who ends a paragraph “do not show fear” is obviously someone who is deeply enjoying having a baby and embracing all the hard parts, and to anyone with good reading comprehension I think it’s a clear endorsement of mom life, not a disendorsement

yeah dude i am the first to admit i got a 95th percentile hard baby. i’m still planning to have 3 more and banking on them likely being easier, but even if they aren’t it’s plainly worth it bc my baby is my favorite person to ever exist by an order of magnitude. he’s a spicy dude and i respect the attitude. i wouldn’t wanna be immobile and glugging down lbs of milk per day. we’ll get thru it.

I like Romy's content but I wonder if she realizes how potently anti-natalist most of her descriptions of son are.
She has expressed concern about the birthrate, but I bet most people reading her posts conclude "That sounds awful, I definitely don't want that."

just wrote up a baby care instruction doc for my SIL who's gonna watch the baby so we can ski tomorrow. I have never tried to explain how to keep my baby happy before and seeing it written out is pretty intense. it's basically like "just don't ever stop moving, and don't even let yourself think about the construct of sitting. he needs to be presented with a new texture to scratch at once every 90 seconds or he'll get so angry he'll vomit on you. he basically can't sit up, but he loathes lying down so don't do that either. you must clown at least once per wake window, and you're gonna need to invent noises you've never heard before. do not break eye contact. do not show fear."

I shared about parts of this earlier this year, but in light of New York’s S7263 and New Hampshire’s SB640, among other bills, I wanted to drive the point home.
Doctors failed me very badly here, and ChatGPT was a godsend.

We've entered into an agreement to join OpenAI as part of the Codex team.
I'm incredibly proud of the work we've done so far, incredibly grateful to everyone that's supported us, and incredibly excited to keep building tools that make programming feel different.

July 22, 2025. Day 1 of people discovering “Voss” is the stereotypical AI sci-fi last name. Finally, objective proof that my last name is excellent! Hahaha! Yes! Yeah!
March 18, 2026. Day 239 of “Voss” being the stereotypical AI sci-fi last name. I am sent TikToks with slop plotlines revolving around the surname’s “rareness.” I slowly realize, with dawning horror, that the algorithms of the future will refuse to believe I’m not a bot. Is it karma? The feed will derank me. In the 2030s, my personhood credit score under Reformed Neo-Worldcoinism will tank. In the 2040s, the Pangram Labs Pan-Galactic Dyson Swarm will flag not just my own words, but any text mentioning me (or any of my ancestors) as nonhuman, dooming even those who knew me to be forgotten, until the 2050s, when anyone still in possession of the forbidden memories of the word “delve,” the word “tapestry,” or my name will find their uploaded em is mysteriously banned from logging in to the newly-upgraded (4D VR) X HyperSpaces (by HyperSpaceX). Before long, even this tweet will vanish into the oblivion of time—
—I see you’re trying to read a story about a person named Voss. If you want, I can swap in a surname that scores as more genuinely human for improved narrative credibility. Should we do that next?

to counterargue against Max’s silicon analogy from this other post, it’s as if we lived in a world where people are specifically eating expensive silicon wafers for breakfast, yet choose to go around asking each other “what semiconductors have you tried?”, as if picking up any random old sand off the ground would offer a reasonable culinary experience (it wouldn’t!)
especially when plenty of peptides should not be eaten! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conotoxin

one last thing: the key problem with "peptides" is the speaker usually believes there is some class relevance to its members. it's only a tiny bit more specific than saying "drugs".

@MartinShkreli your point about the movie list reminded me of the tweet story about a zoomer girl telling her friend, “no! we don’t ask AI for things we WANT to do”
McKay Coppins@mckaycoppins
Data point: At a church youth activity last night, I saw a teenage girl start to use chatgpt to brainstorm funny team names for the game they were playing. Her friend stopped her. "No! We don't use AI for stuff we want to do." She nodded and put her phone away.

this commentary comes off as in bad faith
you’re well within your rights to be miffed that some rando with a n-of-1 experiment saved his dog (regardless for how long) instead of genuflecting to academics every step of the way (understandable if you yourself have played by the rules for years!)
but why pretend that right-to-try regulations don’t exist, or sidestep the point that this is exciting to people precisely because many now feel empowered to create their own anti-cancer vaccines?
Patrick Heizer@PatrickHeizer
Sorry to be the downer because this is an impressive story in some senses. But it is ~trivially easy to make a single mRNA vaccine. It's not hard. I cure mice of various cancers with various therapeutics all the time. I've made mice lose more weight in a month than tirzepatide does in a year. What is hard and expensive is proving its BOTH safe AND effective **in a randomized and controlled study in humans** while ALSO manufacturing it at clinical scale and grade. I am happy for this man and his dog. It is impressive. But y'all are overhyping it.

sorry buddy. I know your child is dying of cancer and there’s nothing technically stopping you from spending 100k to make an n=1 experimental vaccine to give him more time but have you thought about safety and efficacy and the ramifications on the healthcare system if everyone were to take matters into their own hands

We're entering the phase of AI politics where society will intensely debate whether it is a good idea to build AI at all. Builders need to make the case. The way I see it, AI is our best chance to defeat hunger, want, death, and war. It's a moral imperative to try.

I must admit that being in the hospital had me dooming slightly, they don't have any mechanism to get fresh air at this one without being discharged and it (along with my reasons for being admitted) was really getting to me. But today, I woke up feeling a bit better. And more hopeful. I can feel the future I'm working so hard to get us to pulling me back on track, which means getting my health sorted, which means taking time off. It's very counterintuitive to me, but it is necessary. I haven't seriously taken a break in years, and this is a bit forced upon me, but long overdo. Everything we do is one thing and all parts of it matter. Remember to take care of yourself :)
