"I think that is the beauty of writing, the raw , unedited emotions of the person behind every words either for entertainment or educational purposes, is what makes it special"

- the article, clearly expressing the intent of its own mistakes and contextualizing them in the era of LLM-borne "perfect" text

Raven in Snowcrash? Not quite ultrasonic iirc but extremely thin, like the wire developed in three body problem

It’s important to remember this community is under the umbrella of a massive venture capital firm.

The best analogy of zk-proofs I've heard is to suppose you have found Waldo in "Where's Waldo," and want to prove that you have done this without revealing the location.

You could take a piece of paper (much larger than the picture/book), and cut out a waldo-shaped hole it and position the paper such that he is shown in the hole. Then, when you show it to the challenger, they know that you have found him without you revealing where he is.

cool

can you explain a bit more about this? sounds very interesting

I don't think the article made this differentiation specifically, but I don't see this as blaming technology, but ad-driven companies engineering skinner boxes. It is well understood that advertising companies wreak havoc on children's health (tobacco, body image, sugar, etc). We should hold these companies accountable.

While there were definitely lax restrictions here, there are more factors here (societal pressure, both cultural and literal; the article indicated that study groups and other activities were coordinated solely on social media) that affect one's proneness to phone addiction.

In addition, in the article linked above (and others), parenting is not _the_ bellwether preventative in terms of phone addiction - there are psychological factors, environmental factors, etc.

In addition, there are societal variations across gender that are documented as having an affect on proneness to phone addiction.

Don't let your individual experience override the reality of the situation. This is an issue that is going to require extensive research and potentially regulation.

you were the man then, dog

I wonder if they are actually cement, or concrete...
