I think that suggesting it's no different from people thinking that reading books was going to rot people's minds ignores the very real increases in teen depression, loneliness, and suicides over the past decade, as well as increases in adult depression and isolation, and the credible research that says that social media and screens are probably strongly contributing to it.
SMS 2FA is only ostensibly about security. Mobile providers always sucked at it and never advertising that they were selling high quality identification services in the first place. They've actually gotten better at it but it wasn't ever there thing and still isn't.

Phone numbers are excellent PII for user tracking though AND allow companies to dump a lot of the hard support work on some one else. Gobbling up PII to sell and externalizing the hard support stuff to some one else is how tech companies and increasingly any company works these days. So it isn't a surprise it isn't going anywhere. You'll likely need to cough up a number at least for "verification" anyway (since they want it) so they'll probably just use that for account recovery to while they're at it to make their lives easier.
Not just experinental medication; some first-line medications for treating autoimmune disease can also cause different autoimmune diseases as side effects (e.g., drug-induced lupus). All you're really doing is fine-tuning different dials and hoping you tune them in the right direction.
The amount of energy to rotate (or move something on a flat plane) is surprisingly low.

This is how you can have a human pull a 747 or a pickup truck pull a plane.

There's some technicality of "with enough gearing anything can move anything" but at some point the losses involved overcome the power provided.
You won't get very far by only playing whack-a-mole with negative behaviors. You have to start introducing deliberate, positive behaviors. Structure your home, workspace, and workday around what you choose to be doing.

The little tricks to limit things and set timers can help, but the root problem is that you're describing yourself as being on autopilot: You get magnetically pulled to the next time waster.

Work on being more deliberate in your choices. Fill your time with things that provide a sense of accomplishment and remind yourself throughout the day what the goal is. If it helps, write the goal out on sticky notes and put it on your monitor, then review it throughout the day.

When you're tired and need a break, get away from the computer. Go for a walk or just stretch. Don't let your autopilot draw you back into the default easy time waster yet again. Create an array of positive activities to fill your time with so that you have more things to choose from, not just another round of scrolling something on a screen.
Ok so to get a little weirder, could you use a normal tokenizer for pretraining and then go back to bytes for fine tuning along with or before the length extension?
I genuinely don't understand why the solution this layer-boundary BS is not to just default the layer boundary to the image boundary, or the contents of the layer, whichever is larger, always, done and done.

This is the thing with black swan events. The more pedestrian explanations are almost always true, but then there's a tiny fraction of the time where you're much, much better off having taken a bit of an alarmist view.
This is a pretty silly pedantic point. Public property is owned and controlled by governments for the benefit of the public. That does not mean each individual member of the public has traditional ownership rights to said property.
Funnily enough, the article seems to describe anxiety that bore fruit: action, change, and awareness.

Biggest for me was realizing this behavior is rooted in escaping discomfort and boredom. When I was writing my thesis I would go into a ton of internet "research" rabbit holes like bushcrafting or electronic music production or video games but after I defended, I found that these things no longer have much appeal to me, something that I surfed the internet for obsessively seems boring now.

Becoming comfortable with discomfort was huge -- the thing that I'm avoiding is probably the thing I need to do and will feel great afterwards.

Sometimes the anxiety is high and I find working with another person helps, either sitting beside them or actively. In the WFH era I found FocusMate to be super helpful, you pair with another person and share what you plan to do to in that time block via video chat and then go on mute and check in after the session to see how much progress you've made.

I find this alleviates a lot of anxiety and having a block of time where you verbalize your goals makes it manageable.

You can try for free and do up to 3 sessions per week. I did it and found it helpful so I bought the year subscription.

This is true not just about politics but about thinking style in general. Why does every desktop OS have a filesystem? It's not that it's the objectively optimal approach or something, it's that humans have an easy time thinking about files.
Sounds like a standard dropped call due to a dead zone.
It sounds like you need to work on your self control. I think that is not really related to a specific compusive behaviour like too much screen time. Its a personality trait people affected by need to work on to get more peace. The internet is just a way to vent, prior to that, you'd have found other things to compulsively do.

Legitimately curious, what is lacking from current playthrough and movie descriptions available now? For games the only things I feel like might not be represented well in text is descriptions of the observer/player reactions and maybe details about their specific choices through a game... Kind of like turning a choose your own adventure book into a normal book by tracing one path through it?

I can see Q&A on a movie being useful but can't think of descriptions of the overall movie itself lacking... I'd definitely be worried about spoilers.
My pet theory is that our advances in brain capacity improved our ability to obtain, plan, prepare and preserve food, paving the way to further brain development. It's a positive feedback loop.

So purposeful fermentation might have played a role, just like fire, and hunting, and gathering techniques, and farming. It probably wasn't a revolutionary and sudden change, but gradual developments.
Unfortunately it only removes the recommendation of shorts but not the short tab on the bottom.

DeArrow is an extension by the SponsorBlock guy that does this.
Agreed! Last eclipse turned me into an umbraphile. I’ve had friends since the 2017 American eclipse say things like “I’m in an area with ~80% - 90% of totality.”

It literally isn’t the same thing at all. The moment of totality is just unreal and has me wanting to chase total eclipses.

Awhile back, I argued to our school district to move spring break for 2024 in order for families to potentially travel for this year’s total eclipse (I live in California), but they wouldn’t consider it. Sadly, I’ll miss it this year.

Also, think for a moment how crazy this is: our moon is exactly the right size to cover the sun exactly (coupled with being exactly far enough away) that we can see this beautiful ring of fire with flares emanating from the sides during the moment of totality.
Re2c only performs the tokenizing part, not the parsing part. Re2c should be able to run a regex to recognize N spaces and produces a n-space token. It will be up to the parser to use that to get the indentation of a statement.

I live in Houston TX and have 4 lines on my account. 2 of them don’t have data yet including myself. My att account don’t show our numbers or the status of the lines. I think the outage started about 2am while I was listening to a podcast. Calls and text on WiFi works though.
One thing you may have overlooked - table 5, the proof-pile table, only goes up to a 262k evaluation window (meaning - although the model has an extended context window of 2048k according to the method proposed, they are not feeding in that many tokens, only 262k tokens - so, about 13% of the total possible window).

Why? I think this is because books3 contains, you know, books - including some really long books, and proof-pile contains math papers and math stuff, which isn't as long.

So overall I think what you're seeing is a general trend of increasing perplexity on windows above 256k, between 256k-2048k, which is probably not so surprising - or at least, not so surprising when you consider the context of the paper, which is taking a model pre-trained with a much shorter context window and extending the context window using a novel technique. It's hard to adapt a model trained to do one thing into doing another thing, and that's what they're doing, so in that context, it tracks that the longer the context window, the worse the performance.
> the Odysseus lander will eject the EagleCam camera-equipped CubeSat, which will drop onto the lunar surface near the lander

So the first non-government device to land on moon will be viewed trying to land by a device also non-government (but part of the lander) that lands on the moon first? I guess that evens out.
These time estimates seem excessive. 8 hours to “set up the environment”?

Also, doesn’t Expo already offer most of these boilerplates for free?

Edit: Not to mention that Expo handles most of the heavy lifting for each of these items (e.g publishing to app stores). What are customers paying for that they cannot easily get for free from the Expo team?
I saw that but couldn't see an actual demo. I'll have to deploy it and see for myself.
I agree. There should have been guardrails in place to prevent people who espouse extremist viewpoints like Martin Luther from spreading their dangerous and hateful rhetoric. I rest easy knowing that only people with the correct intentions will be able to use AI.

I am thoroughly disappointed by my friends who said "97% is enough" and didn't bother making a 2 hour drive to experience actual totality.

Much easier to set up, yes, but many people learn about ADHD and medication from the internet lately (TikTok especially) and assume it's a complete fix in a pill.

You're a perfect example of doing it right: Setting up routines, setting up guardrails, maintaining the old techniques for discipline. Unfortunately that's not what happens with a lot of people who skim internet comments and then get a prescription from their doctor.

This problem isn't unique to ADHD. There's a similar problem with depression where people get SSRIs and assume they don't have to make any efforts any more, then wonder why they're still somewhat depressed. It's a difficult problem to solve when people only see their doctors for a small window of time but then consume hours and hours of low-quality internet advice from Reddit and TikTok every day.
Ouch!

Is it a public repo? I'd love to have a look.
I've had good results recently by deleting all my social media apps from my phone, BUT allowing myself to use them through Mobile Safari. And I did not bookmark them; e.g. for Instagram I type "in" and then Enter.

This gives me some friction, without having to go cold turkey. All the popular social media sites have mobile websites that are "good enough", but slightly clunkier than the apps, and also they can't send me notifications.

My phone screentime per day has dropped by about 1/3rd.

No need to go to that extreme I think.

Just letting ordinary employees experiment with it and leave honest feedback on it knowing they were safe and not risking the boot could have exposed most of these problems.

But Google couldn't even manage to not fire that bloke who very politely mentioned that women and men think differently. I think a lot of people realized there and then that if they wanted to keep their jobs at Google, they better not say anything that offends the wrong folks.

I was in their hiring pipeline at that point. It certainly changed how I felt about them.
If you just want to make localhost available on your phone, tablet, etc, apparently Tailscale will do that?

Another benefit is that the mobile app’s “Shorts” menu also stops working if watch history is disabled. Sometimes the app takes me there on launch, and now I’m greeted with a message saying I can’t explore an endless feed unless my watch history is active. Fine with me!

"Workout improves your willpower" sounds a lot like a 90 year old thing.
The problem I see with YouTube is that I always start on low-regret content like lectures, or a news clip about a current event I want a summary of. Or a video that a friend said was funny (that's good signal).

But then rather than recommending more content along the same lines (which I would probably bookmark but not be encouraged to click), there is a short low quality video that somehow slides under the radar of "not worth my time". And then this chains together, and what started out as a low-regret interaction has spiraled into a high-regret one.

uBlock rules for the shorts, recommendations, etc. basically solved this problem for me. I think there is a ton of potential with the alternative YouTube frontends too. We have access to an unprecedented amount of information, it's just hidden behind malicious interfaces.
For the luddites destroying technology was a tactic to deal with getting undercut by low wage/bottom of the barrel competitors, not a moral imperative.

It didn't fail because the tactic didn't work economically, it failed because they were imprisoned and executed for destroying the sewing machines.

In much the same way - when workers go on strike today, it's a tactic, not a protest against the concept of work. Sometimes it works, sometimes that gets you put in prison too.

The luddites' modern equivalent would probably be the French anti-Uber protestors. They were, interestingly, actually described as being anti-smartphone by business journals. This is obviously false, but it's an interesting historical rhyme. I wonder if in 50 years time children will be taught about the "French iPhone protestors".
Same thing with the ads every 5 minutes always interrupting a complex part of the woodworking video I'm half watching. Thanks for the reminder to focus on real work, State Farm.

Good to see further development in this space. Would be interesting to see how it compares to Decap CMS https://decapcms.org/ and Static CMS https://www.staticcms.org/

Me personally I'd like to see something that supports easily creating and using different types of objects besides pages (such as: events, books, recipes, etc.), like content types and fields and views in wordpress or drupal, ideally aligned with schema.org like https://www.drupal.org/project/schemadotorg

Does that mean we should ignore teen depression, loneliness and suicides that happened in every 10 period before and pretend screentime is the cause.

Social isolation starts with kids not being allowed to play unsupervised. Don't hear too many cries to increase unsupervised time we hear the opposite. A screen might be the one thing to help that.
> but I feel like this conversation about screen time and digital addiction dropped out of the public consciousness during Covid, never to return.

Strange, I had the opposite experience: COVID brought screen time discussions front and center as everyone was getting desperate for things to do away from their screen or becoming cognizant of how much screen time was at the center of their lives now.

I've always done a lot of outdoor activities. There was huge upward trend in the number of people I saw on hikes, out walking, or biking during COVID. It felt like everyone was getting outside again.

But obviously there was another world where people retreated to their homes, got comfortable with screens, and never unplugged.
I think the idea was that China cutting off TSMC would prevent TSMC from accessing ASML fab tools and maintenance, which would quickly degrade TSMC capabilities.

Edited to specify China as the one who would potentially cut off TSMC from the rest of the world, which would also cut off ASML->TSMC.
It may be, as the principle still applies. It'd interesting to contemplate that the "pivotal" mutation may have been something as subtle as a taste preference that lead to the consumption of the "spoiled" food caches, and the resulting surplus of energy. Of course, for that to be the case we'd have been caching food because of some previous mutation, and back and back we go...

The backend/frontend separation sounds right but the "sub" split of the frontend sounds odd.

You dont care if in the AST some functions are doing too much. In my opinion the most important is the ability to _drive the compilation_, for example stop after lexical, stop after semantics. Then if too much code got compiled into the *.a that's unfortunate but not dramatic.

BTW there's is also the split between the driver and the frontend, but I think this is done.
