The document discusses the debate around whether violent video games increase aggression. It notes that existing personality traits may draw some individuals to violent games, but playing them does not necessarily mean someone will become violent. Past scapegoats for violence, like comic books and rock music, were also blamed but not found to be causes. The document also indicates that a clinician's age and views of youth can influence their interpretation of data about video games and aggression.

Media evaluation q4
Our target audience for the film is 15-35 year olds who enjoy psychological thrillers. This age group has disposable income and grew up watching similar films. As the film was made by teenagers aged 15 and up and stars actors aged 17, it may appeal to other teenagers. Those over 40 may not connect with the storytelling style. Violent and strong language content means the film is rated 15, making it unsuitable for younger viewers. It is unlikely those over 60 will be interested due to a general disinterest in horror and violence. Males are expected to outnumber females in viewership as surveys show males preferring violent action films over comedy and romance preferred by females.

Argumentative Research Paper Proposal: Do Violent
Video Games Potentially Lead to Real-life Violence?
Video games, be it console (Playstation, XBOX, etc.) or computer-based, are commonplace in the American household. Through these games, some say children and teens often learn some valuable life skills and develop hand-eye coordination and argue that the problem with child and teen violence is not a result of these games, but rather a deterioration of the family unit and failure to keep an open line of communication between children and parents. Others say that kids’ obsession with the fantasy of video games disrupts their view of reality and can cause inappropriate behavior, including the carrying out of aggressive or violent acts. Often, this debate hinges around the idea of children being desensitized from the violent and deviant acts they simulate in a video game versus the crimes they can commit in real life. Yet another angle is this: some parents believe competitive and sometimes aggressive behaviors are traits they want their children to have exposure to because they view these characteristics as vital tools for later situations in life. They explain that the ability to play violent video games provides a potential outlet for the frustrations of being a teen, thereby allowing their children to experience violence through a game, rather than pursue real life crime or acts of deviance.
All sides to this argument make legitimate and valid points. However, there is a middle ground that needs to be considered: that violent video games or video games that glamorize lawbreaking and disrespect can act as accelerants; kids who already have issues and instability of mind can be influenced or warped past the breaking strain by such content. There is evidence that violent video games cause increased aggression in their player base, which can lead to real life crime because some teenagers cannot distinguish between virtual reality and actual reality, because they are at a crucial point in life where mental and social development is shaping their personalities and roles in society, and because they sometimes feel they have no one to turn to, so they become obsessively engrossed in this “alter” reality that becomes a virtual role model.
Some questions that need to be addressed in relation to this topic to further shape the working thesis: Do players of violent video games have increased aggression over those of less violent video games, and are the games the cause or just what more aggressive personalities migrate toward? Do these games truly help with life-skills? Does the play of violent video games desensitize teenagers to potential real-life situations, making them less apt to value human life? What type of violence is exhibited by these teenagers that apparently show increased aggression? What have some U.S. states done to prohibit the sale of violent video games? Can th ...
Violence in video games
The document discusses the debate around whether violence in video games causes real-world aggression. It notes that while some studies have found short-term correlations, the evidence is inconclusive and many factors like mental health and home life influence violence more. Another section debunks common myths, including that video games directly cause youth violence and are desensitizing, noting that most people can separate fantasy from reality and that other real-world issues are stronger predictors of violence.
Video Games Violence-Does It Affect ?
The document summarizes research on the effects of violent video games on the brain and behavior. Studies found that teenagers who played violent video games like Medal of Honor showed increased activity in brain regions related to emotion and memory, while those who played the non-violent game Need for Speed did not. However, the document notes that increased emotional arousal does not necessarily mean teenagers will commit violent acts. While some research links violent games to aggression, other studies have been inconclusive. The document also discusses several common myths about video games and presents the results of a survey on whether violent games influence criminal behavior.
The Psychological Effects Of Violent Video Games Slide Show
The document discusses research on the psychological effects of violent video games on children and young people. Several studies found that playing violent video games was linked to increased aggressive and antisocial behavior, decreased empathy, and changes in emotional state. However, one article notes that most children who play violent games do not become violent, and certain personality traits may predispose some individuals to be more influenced by such games. The conclusion is that while violent games likely increase aggression in players, especially younger ones, other individual factors also contribute.
Tok Violence And Games 2
The document discusses the debate around whether violent video games can be linked to increased violence. It notes that violence predates video games and other media like movies have also been criticized. Two games are mentioned, one rated for everyone and one rated mature. The document reviews several studies that have found both increased physiological arousal and aggression from violent video games as well as studies that have found no link or even positive effects. It questions whether all games would need to be banned if they did cause violence and notes the challenges in attributing violence to any single factor.
Violent Video Game Effect
This paper examines the debate around whether violent video games increase aggression in young people. It provides background on the rise of video game violence since the 1970s and increasing exposure of adolescents. The paper then reviews the debate, noting challenges in defining and measuring aggression across cultures. It presents the General Aggression Model, which proposes that violent media can activate aggressive knowledge structures through proximal and distal risk factors. The paper summarizes three studies that provide evidence for the model, finding short-term increases in aggression from violent games and longitudinal links between game violence exposure and later hostility and aggression. While more research is still needed, the paper argues the evidence supports causal claims about the effects of video game violence on aggression.
History Of Video Games Essay
Video games have been debated as either good or bad for society since their inception in the late 1950s. While early research on the effects of video games was inconclusive, more recent studies have found that playing violent video games can increase aggressive thoughts and behaviors in people. However, video games are also seen by proponents as a supportive addition to society that can improve skills like hand-eye coordination when played in moderation. The debate continues today over whether video games are generally a good or bad influence.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
