Here are a few ways to prevent bedtime procrastination:

Turning off electronic devices at least one hour before bed. In a darker environment, humans produce the sleep hormone melatonin. Therefore, people should limit the light they receive before going to sleep.[15]
Taking a hot shower or bath to reduce stresses.[15]
Writing down thoughts, feelings, and experiences that stood out throughout the day.[15]
Maintaining a regular wake-up time and bedtime, including on non-working days.[2]
Setting a bedtime routine.
Snacking on nuts, seeds, and pulses, which are sources of the amino acid tryptophan, which helps produce melatonin.[15]
Avoiding alcohol or caffeine late in the afternoon or evening.[2]
Taking melatonin supplements (but exercise caution[33])
Managing one's time by doing things early in the day to avoid staying late and losing essential sleep time.[6]
Taking Vitamin D and magnesium supplements that may help induce sleep.[15]
Setting boundaries at work.
Reducing internet use.[34]
Practicing time management and priority-setting skills.[35]
Using a method called mental contrasting with implementation intentions (MCII).[36]

Not everyone can afford a tutor or knows where to find an expert that can answer questions in any given domain. I think such a tool would have made understanding a lot of my college courses a lot easier.

The title is pretty misleading. Kids who used ChatGPT to get hints/explanations rather than outright getting the answers did as well as those who had no access to ChatGPT. They probably had a much easier time studying/understanding with it so it’s a win for LLMs as a teaching tool imo.

I’m still replacing switches on my stupid Logitech MX (faulty design that’s been going for many years) but once it’s dead for good I will switch over to the Ploopy thumb trackball in a heartbeat.

I can still run Blade Runner which came out in 1997 using Wine, things don’t die off that easily when they are not broken on purpose.

I use PyTorch daily at work and I’m happy to have gone AMD. Initial support for last gen was lacking but it’s there now. It mostly works , the performance is great but it crashes on some unusual tasks.
