We all grew up watching TV, so why is YouTube so different?
Show HN: Cubflix – A TV-style YouTube for kids with parent-approved channels
As the title says - I created a TV-like experience using Youtube channels that are allowed, to give kids a much healthier and safer experience.YouTube has tons of great educational channels, the problem is with all the garbage it has too, not to mention shorts, other short form content and recommendations always sucking your kids into the most brainwashing channels.I assume most of the people...
I'm not a prolific open source contributor anyways, but i'm wondering if the tides are changing in regards to open source.
I can imaging that many people in the open source community - even if they're giving away their code for free under the most permissive licenses, still somewhere enjoy the fact that people know they're looking at their code on github or wherever it may be hosted. But now that slowly people shifting to only looking at code via LLM chat apps, then they might want to contirbute less to open source... just wondering... ?
Ask HN: Do you think differently about working on open source these days?
Wondering if anyone here has changed their opinion on open sourcing their projects or contributing to open source now that LLM's are a thing...I don't know yet what I think, but my latest side project I decided to create privately on github.

I've read a few books on parenting, various online articles and was also at some short seminars. My experience is very similar to yours in that when the people writing/teaching were just basing their knowledge on opinions or trends I feel like it was usually bad advice. When I read a book or article coming from people that worked in the field as developmental psychologists or experienced and well-educated social workers I felt the advice given was much, much better. That was the point of my question - trying to find resources that come from reputable people. I feel like it's very hard to find 'the good stuff'..
Regarding your point on seeking experts advice - I totally agree. I'm no stranger to the idea, and have been to psychologists quite a few times throughout the years. I'm definitely not against it, and when I'll run into difficult situations i'll definitely take that as an option as well. I was hoping to find sources of good advice for the day-to-day stuff that all parents deal with.
We don't act completely randomly, not as children and definitely not as adults. We exist within a common environment with a common set of laws or norms that most people live by (excluding extreme cases, for various reasons).
Specifically regarding potty training and diapers though - I've heard that before (don't remember where), but since diaper money isn't a big issue for me, I would rather go with more 'modern' diapers and have the convenience that comes with that over cotton diapers (or no diapers at all) and have my kids potty trained earlier. But it's still very interesting and important to know the story behind it.
I know reading peer-reviewed papers would be very difficult, and I don't plan on reading a ton of research papers, but there is so much information out there from people that aren't educated or in a position to give out information.. I would like to know where I can read opinions from well known psychologists perhaps or other professionals that read and rely on peer-reviewed papers.
What I have in mind is something like how Andrew Huberman (the podcast HubermanLab) talks about various subjects and gives advice on certain health topics, while referencing research papers and studies on the subject, but on subjects related to parenting.
Some of the subjects that interest me are: suggested nutrition for young kids, how to develop healthy sleep habbits, toys and games that have healthy developmental impact on kids, effective punishments/rewards systems, good sources and ways to teach kids math/science/physics, effective ways to deal with ADHD, and more..
Ask HN: Where do you go for parenting advice?
I can search Google for parenting advice, but it seems (just like many other subjects) that the web is riddled with paid articles and junk content sites with clickbait articles. Parenting is also one of those subjects where it seems (to me at least) that there's so much psuedo-science out there, but I'm looking for more science based, researched information.Since I feel somewhat part of the...

Hey HN, Like many other people here, I found myself lurking too much on YouTube, mindlessly scrolling the homepage to see what the algorithm throws at me.At first I wanted to quit YouTube all together, but then realized some channels are important to me and very educational.I decided to create TubeMail.io - You can sign up for free, pick the channels that interest you and get an email with...
I personally like some aspects of it and dislike some other, but nothing major in my opinion. What I can say is that only recently I started using the 'Projects' feature and it's really awesome!
Amazing work, and assuming you're the real 'natfriedman' it's amazing you answered!! :)

Ask HN: What service do you need, doesn't exist and you're willing to pay for?
Ask HN: You have one hour left to work, how do you decide what to work on?
This interests me specifically for developers/programmers. If you realize you have one hour left in the day to work (before heading home or going to sleep), how do you decide what to work on? and how much do you think you can get done?(assuming you're not in the middle of something at the moment)
