Repetition rewires Repetition rewires Repetition rewires As a neuroscientist, I can tell you: the brain doesn't distinguish between the habits that serve you and the ones that destroy you. The question isn't whether you'll change, but what you'll become.

Stop watching short-form videos. Meta-analysis of ~100k people shows how it is associated with decreased cognition and increased stress + anxiety. I know this is correlation, not causation but ask yourself - do you feel great after a session of consuming reels/shorts?

Your lack of commitment is insulting to the people who believe in you. Speak clearly. Stand tall. Keep your word. Do the thing you said you were going to do. Don’t betray their trust by showing up when it’s easy and disappearing when it’s hard.

if you're applying to Ph.D. programs in the coming weeks make sure your statement includes: (1) what problems you'd like to work on (2) which advisor you want to work with and why highlights of prior work are good in moderation but not at the expense of (1) and (2).

ICLR has placed OpenReview in a difficult position, so I want to offer a few words about the OpenReview team working behind the scenes. OpenReview has long been operated at UMass Amherst as a non-profit organization founded by Andrew McCallum. Each year, Andrew must raise more

Very strong new evidence against the notion that poverty causes crime. *Experimental* data on unconditional monthly payments to poor individuals in Finland, finds that the treatment (payment) has no causal effect on criminal perpetration or victimization.

The roommate cleaning problem: Alice and Bob are roommates. Alice can put up with the apartment reaching a 6/10 in messiness. Bob is only slightly less sensitive to mess. He will clean at 6.5/10. In practice, Alice does all the cleaning, since they never reach 6.5.
