I also love that I can leave the microphone on (not in live voice mode) while dictating to ChatGPT and pause and think as much as needed.

With Gemini, it will send as soon as I stop to think. No way to disable that.

If your addiction has gotten this far, it's time to start labeling it as just that, and there's no shame in it.

At a certain point you need to accept that you will not be able to willpower your way out of it. You need systems and strategies in place that cut you off from your addiction.

That can look like a lot of things that I'm not going to try to stuff into an HN comment but here's what works for me:

- Leaving the house with a dumb phone. I recommend using an old smartphone that is meticulously stripped away from bad things over purchasing a flip phone. You're eventually going to need to call up an uber, scan a QR code, and other such smartphoney things you need a dumb phone to do. Leaving your environment is also key. If you must, bring your actual phone with you, but fully powered off.

- Using a feature on your phone to cut yourself off from YouTube on a scheduled basis. Most phones have something like this by default, but there are also some third party apps that take it a step further.

- Have something you enjoy to take the place of YouTube. Entertainment is healthy to an extent. Taken too far, it becomes a distraction from cognitive processes you need to be regularly engaging in, to say the least.

From what I can see, this just boils down to a system prompt to act like a study helper?

I would think you'd want to make something a little more bespoke to make it a fully-fledged feature, like interactive quizzes that keep score and review questions missed afterwards.

For those asking how this is different from a simple text based memory archive, I think that is answered here:

--- Unlike most memory systems—which act like basic sticky notes, only showing what’s true right now. C.O.R.E is built as a dynamic, living temporal knowledge graph:

Every fact is a first-class “Statement” with full history, not just a static edge between entities. Each statement includes what was said, who said it, when it happened, and why it matters. You get full transparency: you can always trace the source, see what changed, and explore why the system “believes” something. ---

It's akin to the days when people used google clones that used a black background to supposedly save on display energy use.

They don't. Removing these tags will not result in any meaningful increase in page load time honestly. This is especially because most don't actually load up any linked file. Their weight is just the characters they are typed out in.

It's an informative webpage but it's not very effective optimization imo.

Tangentially, the idea that simulation is equivalent to providing the body with energy is not helping public understanding of nutrition.

It seems like in the last ten years, the bottled/canned drinks in stores have become monopolized by these kinds of products packed in "tall boy" cans whereas ten or so years ago, they were a specialty item sold in small cans like the original red bull.

Number of seconds is not a relevant metric for some people.

More relevant for me is how much and often I need to switch my physical and cognitive task at hand to briefly use my device. If I'm in a focused mode going back and forth in my house getting things done, it's a huge benefit to just verbalize my thinking in the moment rather than come to an abrupt stop and switch to visuospatial navigation to drill down to the timer app, and fine tune the amount before I can switch back to what I was doing before.
