welp, there’s the last bit of trust on the internet gone. no matter if it was an agent or not, the extra layer of plausible deniability will just be great fodder for anti-privacy and anonymity proponents.

like the idea of the article. however, it gave me bad vibes. this “virtues” only use is to have moral high ground over other “virtues” instead of deconstructing intelligence as a whole.

why is it bad that the person with the highest IQ does puzzle columns? are all people with IQ supposed to be doing groundbreaking research? can you only do groundbreaking research if you’re intelligent?

i think the real virtue here is not “slowness” but rather persistence. what do you think?

nice to see that there is some research being done in this field, it closely mirrors my own experience in trying to switch off. the point of embracing boredom seems the most valuable here – i often tend to scroll instinctively in order to not to be bored. oftentimes, some boredom helps me recover from whatever i got distracted from.

that would be horrifying if that was what was said. in the speech itself not mastery in python or russian is named, but mastery in every domain.

governments are moving from the office suite to libre office suites. some say this is helpful for digital sovereignty, others insist that the reliance on spreadsheets needs to be addressed first. could this be a step towards bridging the gap and making programming more accessible to non-technical ppl?
