Knowing a few alcoholics this is part of the problem with addiction. You make friends with other addicts, and those bonds are broken when you have to quit.

The social aspect has to be addressed or the addiction is harder to quit.

So I agree with you, but the social isolation is an important factor in keeping people off the phone. Also, I am finding that younger folk do not know how to interact with people IRL. I am faced with fear, uncertainty, shyness, anxiety...and all of these issues were created by the phone use as well.

It is a very complex issue to solve.
It's also the mother of creativity. Endless relatively high quality entertainment is one of those things that sounds amazing at a distance but has probably just been an overall significant negative on society.

I saw many times something like this:

1. rate cut

2. S&P rises, financial press writes "market rise because of the rate cut"

3. later during the same day, S&P reverses and drops below price when rate cut was announced, financial press writes new article "market drops because of the rate cut"

rinse & repeat. they literally are reacting and correlating price movement with whatever big news happened.

Did you download from the link on this page? [1] That should download the v0.1.1 build. So long as you install it with admin privileges and ignore the security warnings, it shouldn't have an issue.

In case it doesn't work still, I'd suggest trying to build from source. I wouldn't be surprised if your machine is an edge case for Windows that I missed.

The Lichess Game Compressor's Analysis of Game 1 of the World Championships
Ok. Design the experiment to test your hypothesis, and then present its results. The truth of it will be in the data.

There is likely a way to test this hypothesis on human children in an ethical fashion.
Slightly OT, but my opinion is they do still make people like this, our businesses just don't demand high-quality work as consistently as they used to, particularly for the kinds of work where software is marketed as the solution (across many functions).
A vibrant red Ducati SuperSport motorcycle takes center stage in the foreground, parked against a backdrop of a modern, light beige building. The building's architectural design features tall, slender vertical panels, creating a clean and contemporary aesthetic. In the background, the city's subtle hum hints at the urban environment, a scene of quiet sophistication and stylish urbanity. The sleek lines of the motorcycle contrast beautifully with the building's minimalist design.

The man, appearing to be in his late 20s to early 30s, exudes an air of refined confidence. His attire - a crisp white shirt, a grey waistcoat, and dark trousers - suggests a lifestyle of success and a keen eye for detail. He appears to be of Caucasian descent, his calm demeanor suggesting a moment of quiet contemplation rather than hurried activity. He is meticulously adjusting his helmet, exhibiting meticulous care in preparation. He looks to be in a good mood. The photo appears to have been taken with a professional DSLR camera in the daytime.

The subtle sheen on the motorcycle's paint job hints at a high-quality finish, reflecting the care and attention to detail apparent in both the rider's attire and the choice of machine. The watch on his wrist seems expensive, reflecting his status. The overall composition is balanced and well-lit, likely the result of careful planning and execution. This is not just a man riding a bike, it is a carefully crafted image of a stylish moment in time.

It is informative to note the contrast between the fact that 22 companies (Microsoft, Google, Samsung, etc, etc) were all given enough notice in advance of the Nuvia acquisition, to be able to come up with a quote endorsing it. [1]

You can actually disable the browser in a pretty serious way in iOS. First, ask your spouse/friend/colleague to set up parental controls on your phone and have them hold onto the code. Second, remove Safari through Content & Privacy Restrictions. Third, set up Downtime in whitelist mode to run all day. This way, Safari is disabled and an alternative browser cannot be installed from the App Store. If you want full control of your phone back, you'll need to ask your spouse/friend/colleague for the code – totally doable but now it's pretty difficult to get around the restrictions.

Something similar should exist for Android with regard to parental controls. Though for Android, I suppose you could also just uninstall/disable both the browser and the Play Store through adb.
I think the proof that this is a good article is that people's reactions to it are taking them in so many different directions. It might or might not be very actionable this year (I for one... would like to see a lower level of hallucination and mansplaining in LLM output before it starts to hide itself behind a dynamically generated UI) but it seems, for sure, good to think with.

You can look at that statement in a couple of different ways. Yes, experimental bias is one of them. The other is saying: we didn't see this effect, so we need to do longer term studies to see if it does exist.

Regardless, that statement is a good thing. It acknowledges a social bias towards the effect of smartphones. It doesn't give room for people to imply a result based upon that bias. On the surface, at least, it doesn't indicate that data was fudged to reach a particular result.
If you mean a printed book describing how every feature of (say) Chrome works, then no. They don't produce one.

Excuse me of my question is unpleasant for you, but why do you have suicidal tendencies for 2 years? Is it objective property of box jellyfish venom (like some medicine can induce suicidal thoughts) or it is because it was painful for whole 24 months?
They could have included the obvious (but probably unwanted) alternative hypothesis:

Researchers suggest that these results might mean that changes in cognitive ability could take longer than the study period of 21 days to materialize, or access to devices has a positive effect on attention offsetting the effects of sleep on attention.

It's probably unlikely but it is an obvious possibility.
Because the superposition model tells you that you should detect "some amount" of the electron in one place (with some speed), and "some other amount" in another (with some other speed). And yet, if you have detectors in both places, only one of the detectors will ever fire, even when the "amount" is perfectly equal.

Actually, even this is much more definite than what the model actually gives you: for any two position vectors x, y that are a solution for where the electron would be, ax+by for any a, b are also solutions. So in fact every QM system has an infinity of solutions. And you, as the person making a measurement, get to decide which "family" of solutions you want to test for.

And yet, not only will you never find the electron in two places at once, but once you do find it in one place, you will never see effects from the electron being in the other location. So superposition can't be the real physical situation, as it doesn't agree at all with observations. That's why the Born rule is necessary to make any use whatsoever of QM to describe measurable reality.
I think I had focus issues probably coming from playing too much videogames when I was young and it took 2-3 years to fully reset and achieve a real level of focus. I was able to compound that when I didn't have a proper smart phone for about another 2 years. Since getting a real phone its all been downhill again
> I'd say it would be more expensive to make it like that?

Only marginally. And they probabky lost a lot if sales because of that. From the very start, a pi 400 with 4GB of ram was a non starter for me in 2020, and a 8GB one is the same for me in 2024. However if they had said we guarantee we will support this board for 8 years with new compute modules, I may have bought one and moved the cm4 to a different headless compute module board when I would have upgraded it.

And that may have opened a market had they decided to create a standard motherboard form factor for arm cpu modules in a keyboard.
I have been one of these people. The (lack of) fitness is a huge part of it.

But also, some of us just feel like we're in a rush, and we see the people around us doing and achieving things that we'd like to have done already. If you don't have kids by 30 and want them, there's a lot of nonsense telling you that time is gradually running out, etc.

Our worship of youth (relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROJKEwYEx8Q) starts hitting different at a surprisingly young age. I assume it's far worse for women too.

I was in the same place and I found a solution that works for me and it almost made me totally quit Instagram (the thing that was taking my time). Set the notifications to be shown on lock screen only for critical apps (phone, sms, etc) and configure the others to just show badge counters. Now, at this point you have red bubbles everywhere, for this issue (on iOS, but I'm sure it's a solution for Android too) you apply a shade for all the app icons. It's a feature that came with iOS 18. Even if this seems small, the fact that you don't see them all in red, makes a huge difference. Now, I only look when I want to look.
Thank you, it’s true that hate and the idea of revenge kept me from committing suicide and were the path out from my darkest times. Maybe I’ve recovered more than I admit, because your vocabulary is what I used 3 years ago and I’m far from that now, just the addiction to Youtube remains, to covers the negative thoughts.

There is still advice that I’ll use from your comment, and once again I love the vocabulary “Lift heavy objects and acquire mass”, which is typical from the meme world. You basically remind me of Jordan Peterson’s advice to stand up and do something, as soon as a lighter period of depression strucks.

The ostracization is a strawman. A few good friends (or even just one) is, imo, going to provide far more fulfillment than a million digital friends.

And when living in an appropriate place to raise children (playgrounds, etc near housing) it's super easy to meet other parents. And, in my experience at least, a rather large percent are also against 'digitizing' their kids.

Science denialism will send us back to tbe dark ages.
The point is not in replacing all of the lawyers or programmers but rather that we will no longer need so many of them since a lot of their expertise is becoming a commodity today. This is a fact and there have been many many examples of that.

My friend who hasn't been trained for SQL, nor computer science at all, is now all of the sudden able to crunch through complex SQL queries because of the help he gets through LLMs. He, or more specifically his company, does not need to hire an extern SQL expert anymore since he can manage it himself. He will probably not write a perfect SQL but it's going to be more than good enough and that's actually all that it matters.

The same thing happened at much much smaller scale with Google Translate. 10 years ago we weren't able to read foreign language content. Today? It's not even a click-away because Chrome is doing it for you automatically so it has become a commodity to go and read any website we wish to.

So, the history already proved us that "real translators" and "real SQL experts" and "real XY experts" have been already replaced by their "armchair" alternatives.
You’re either a small shop or have way too much IT labor.

I think it's more like software is able to handle the cognitive dissonance of managing years of a company's books and seeing in plain numbers that they don't make any money and are just burning investor cash until the party ends.
We don't actually allow a GPU to directly fprintf, because GPU can't syscall. Only userspace can do that. You can have userspace keep polling and then do it on behalf of the GPU, but that's not the GPU doing it.

I would suggest to pick one of the larger instances – they are stable and have been for a while. For example, I'm on mstnd.social. You can also go with the official mastadon.social, probably the simplest. hachyderm.io is also a popular one, especially with programmers.
Yeah, I assume pinning the version is something everyone does? Or probably many just don't and will have those "python deps management is a mess drama".

TBH, I've seen tutorials or even some companies simply do `pip freeze > requirements.txt` :shrug: which is a mess.

People keep telling us this but we're a family of four with two little kids. We both commute to work, myself by bike and train and my wife by bike, and we haven't needed a car. We use a bakfiets for local trips, and occasionally a mywheels for longer trips afield.

Obviously some people will need cars (being a carpenter would be tough with just a bakfiets) but it is very feasible for many people to not have a car.

It seems to me by the time we’re 5-6 we’ve likely already been exposed to trillions of tokens. Just think of how many hours of video and audio tokens have already come to your brain by that point. We also have constant input from senses like touch and proprioception that help shape our understanding of the world around us.

I think there are plenty more tokens freely available out in the world. We just haven’t figured out how to have machines capture them yet.

I really hope you get what you want the way you describe, but for everyone else reading this: don't dismiss hacks like unplugging your router.

Everyone should use external control (aka stimulus control [1]) more shamelessly. Stimulus control is a well-known technique that gets the job done for day-to-day problems like "phone compulsion."

When you ask what willpower is, people think of "magical mental points." Common knowledge suggests that needing external control (like putting away your phone) means you lack willpower, spirit, maturity, or you're-not-going-to-make-it™. Like there are two opposite camps: willpower/rational decision making/system II [2] vs external control. This is unwise and is not supported scientifically.

Let me explain in CS-like terms: If life is a search problem, the action space is insanely enormous. Sitting in my office, I could jump, eat a candy bar, look at my phone, throw my computer, play the cello, sing, or work. The first "pruning" is simply availability - I won't play the cello since I don't have one here.

The same applies to distractions. We live in a digital environment where accessing distractions costs nearly zero. So maintaining cognitive hygiene through stimulus control (switching off your router, putting away your phone) is good.

Sadly, willpower is what common knowledge sets as the good/moral/mature behavior: if you need to put away your phone, you are less valid or whatever culture-specific narrative you're into. Ignore those ideas and keep your mind clean: put your router on fire if that's what you need at first. You will get better.

So is the possibility that attention is an emergent genetic trait. There are many, many alternative explanations. You are lamenting the exclusion of your preferred alternative explanation, but the researchers need to choose one and look further along that branch.

The idea of open science is that other teams would be free to explore plausible alternative hypotheses. Some team might explore yours. Another might dig into my idea about the behavior’s relationship to genetics. And so on.

This is the method by which we move ourselves forward. And it’s easy to see how that effort is hampered by the practice of data tampering and other shenanigans. Which this team did not engage in, even when part of there hypothesis wasn’t supported by their data.

This team deserves a “Bravo!”
no love for QWOP
In either case you are only looking at inputs and outputs. The results may correlate with what you'd consider self-awareness or intelligence, but can you really say that's what you are set ng without understanding how the system works internally.

LLMs are trained on a massive dataset and the resulting model is effectively a compressed representation of that dataset. On the surface you'd have no way of knowing whether the algorithm answering is in fact just a lookup table.

This issue feels very similar to scientific modelling vs controlled studies. Modelling may show correlation, but it will never be able to show causation. Asking a system a bunch of questions and getting the right answers is the same, you're just coming up with a sample set of modelling data and attempting to interpret how the system likely worked only by looking at inputs and outputs.
