Created a ROMhack solely for fun and found a way to use it as my final project for this class I'm in. Proud of myself 🤣

Amazing how people who are self-described "brutally honest" never seem to give out brutal complements or be brutally vulnerable.

They can't just be like "Hey @KitRedgrave that skirt looks motherfucking fabulous on you and if you don't like it, tough shit." or "Jesus Christ I am dying of nerves right now at this interview. Just telling it like it is, bruh."

It turns out people have researched how to do algorithmic recommendations without users having to reveal their personal preferences, and I am intrigued. Apparently, in principle we could have the good parts of, say, Netflix suggesting more things you might want to watch, without exposing ourselves to entities like Facebook selling all our data.

See "Distributed Differential Privacy and Applications" by Narayan, for example. (Also that's the first CC-BY licensed PhD thesis I've seen!)
