    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.

    *except games that don't run on proton/wine. I don't have a Windows installation and I never have to worry about a game not running out of the box on Linux anymore.

    That's not how it works anywhere I've heard of (and I've lived in the USA and Europe and worked in an American grocery store). Maybe if it's a refrigerated product in the US (or vandalized somehow), but that's not the case with dates.

    It's pretty much never advantageous having Windows to run AI stuff, it runs like dog shit and the drivers are not prioritized because no one does serious AI research using Windows.

    I don't understand your question. GPT is proprietary and hosted by OpenAI. There are other large language models (LLM) that one can download (or even train if they are open-source or at least have a descriptive scientific paper and open training data) and host themselves, but they are not as powerful.
