Surely if we made it cushy enough people wouldn't go crazy

We found pretty good results with a sort of inoculation strategy, lots of slow boring TV, sometimes she even tells us to turn it off because it distracts the parents too much LOL

How much of this is unnecessary regulatory burden, though? There probably is some margin of improvement over what the anti-nuclear lobbyists have imposed.

I guess I see why, though. Taken from the perspective of tropes of middle Americans, it's pretty condescending and claims everything they are is idiotic and responsible for the state of the world, when it is more complicated than that and the ivory tower has its own culpability

I have to imagine that given birds are descendants of dinosaurs, which evolved quite a long time ago, they've had a lot more time to optimize certain things.

Picture wrench attacks. What use is your Monero's security, for example, as I turn a screw into you until you give it up?

I mean, I didn't need to learn those things, they were just in whatever web GUI I originally learned on; all I knew was that I could ignore it for now, a la the topic. Should the UI have masked that from me until I was ready? I suppose so, but even then I was doing things in an IDE not really knowing what those things were for until much later.

I remember when I first learned Java, having to just accept "public static void main(String[] args)" before I understood what any of it was. All I knew was that went on top around the block and I did the code inside it.

Should people really understand every syntax there before learning simpler commands like printing, ifs, and loops? I think it would yes, be a nicer learning experience, but I'm not sure it's actually the best idea.

I think the problem is that it's also an interesting problem for humans. It's very subjective. Imagine a therapy session, filled with a long pensive pauses. Therapy is one of those things that encourage not interrupting and just letting you talk more, but there's so much subtext and nuance to that. Then make it compared to excited chatter one might have with friends. There's also so much body language that an AI obviously cannot see. At least for now.

Spamming leaves is probably just the cheapest strategy?

The pragmatic answer is that it is probably a better spend of time to innovate tech that circumvents politics than to spend time winning politics.

I forget what book it was, it might have been the happiness trap, but a big point they made was that building new habits and changing your life has a lot more to do with your inner notion of identity and long-run values. It's much easier to change your habits when they align with who you believe you are, The mental model difference between "I'm trying to eat healthier," and "I am a healthy eater."

My assumption is that it has something to do with machinery processing.

Yeah, for me <5MB per pic uploaded (and then compressed) and 5-10 images limit per user should be sufficient to start. That, or some platform specific things like you only get to 1 upload per 10 votes...

Good reminder to set usage caps with a deployment

In theory I start integrating some safe image api or something, but I'm not seasoned enough to know if scrubbing the data away manually then is going to be easy enough. Right now I use supabase email auth , and I figure that cuts things down somewhat.

And if I am to have a plan, why not just implement from the start?
