Cool study, I've got this question before from my 7yo and had no idea :P

If I'm reading it correctly, insects don't fly toward the light, they turn the front of their body toward it. Under natural light, this helps them fly correctly ("maintain proper flight attitude and control"), but with artificial light they end up just constantly flying around the light source?

This is so cool! Thanks for sharing the code.

I wish ElevenLabs didn't require a subscription to test voice cloning but I might try it out this month and see if it's cool enough to continue. It could be a really fun way to get my 7yo exposed to stuff like this.

> "How does a brand show up in somebody's DMs or Discord server if they're not invited?" Haberman said. But in many ways, that's the point. People can still go on Instagram to check on their favorite celebrities and influencers, but young people don't want brands and marketers infiltrating the closed communities where they spend most of their time.

All people don’t want brands in their closed communities!

Anecdotally I strongly agree with the article. I pretty much only use Discord and group texts anymore among friends and family (though I do self host and share on Mastodon/Pixelfed/Lemmy it’s a fraction). Any time I poke around on traditional social media it just feels like a wasteland, 90% ads/curated content. Fine if you want to go read a magazine for a bit I guess but a shell of what it was like a decade ago.

Looks like that page was edited a few minutes ago to remove the content/screenshots.

Here's what it looked like last month: https://web.archive.org/web/20230614035125/https://developer...

Totally agreed, I was so excited when I saw these mockups and I hate to be negative but the shipped changes so far are much less exciting.

Shameless plug for a small Userstyle I wrote: https://git.gioia.cloud/andrew/gists/src/branch/master/Users...

It adds dark mode and some spacing/font size/readability improvements for wider screens.

Thanks I really appreciate the clarification, this is a great addition.

> Google says a removal request will be considered if the search result in question includes the presence of “explicit or implicit threats” or “explicit or implicit calls to action for others to harm or harass.”

Apparently they've always had a process for bank account info and other related things, but I can't get some of the newly included items, like login credentials, removed unless I can show actual or implicit threats of harm?
