Why just smartphones? Why not all computers?

Possibly because they've been misled into thinking it will be effective.

Math is not my strong suit at all, so I probably won't grok this, but that kind of blows my mind, so I'm curious... how?! That works for any arbitrarily large number? Math is crazy!... still don't want to study it though!

My initial thought on hearing about this was it being used for learning. It would be cool to be able to talk to an LLM about how a circuit works, what the different components are, etc.

Aye, the fast-paced editing is extremely jarring. Another variable that makes these discussions so difficult to reach a conclusion! :( We need to consider stuff like this - content and subject matter, not just format - when it comes to figu

It looks like there could be a lot of potential here for learning/repair/debugging/reverse engineering. Really cool application of this stuff!

Wow that sounds like a really interesting use-case for this. Can you link to some of those examples?

Why would you think it's not explicitly intended?

Is all short form video "highly stimulating" and/or "fast-paced" though? I can see the argument for the format being inherently stimulating/fast-paced, but I think that it still comes down more to the content t

No, because I'm not going to get into a debate about whether capitalism is good or not on a memorial post. Even if I were so inclined, I'm not the one making grand claims about every economic system in the world. You're the o
