Following up on Boaz Barak's comment quoted in this article, my best local model did get the answer to the kiwi problem correct when I changed the system prompt from "You are my helpful AI assistant." to "This is a math exam."
I can confirm this, and will add: on my Pixel 6 running GrapheneOS, I have to scroll down the "6 pack" of buttons on the in-call screen to reveal the record call button. There is no UI hint that these buttons are within a scrollable element, so discoverability is poor.
A true control seems impossible for any "breathwork" study; anyone doing regimented breathing knows that they are doing something. And placebos work, whether you believe in them or not (say the studies ...)
If you can't show that a specific breathing exercise is somehow better than an essentially random breathing exercise, then it doesn't matter what kind of breathing exercises you do.
If you can't show that a breathing exercise is better than e.g. same time spent on stretching, then there's not much point in doing (separate) breathing exercises at all.
This could be an unfortunate oversight in an otherwise stellar document, but it biases me to question the entire outcome. If they can't even complete the abstract correctly, what other error is in this paper?
I mean exactly that. Every state in the country reduced funding to their public university system during the 2008 financial crisis. 32/50 states have yet to restore that funding. Universities must make up for the shortage by increased tuition and increased reliance on international students (who pay significantly more).
Ivy League colleges aren't meant to educate the masses, but people somehow aren't able to come to terms with that. Your kid is significantly more likely to find a place at the local U, but now they must take crazy loans for it and compete with a rich chinese kid for the spot, all while you are fighting big bad Harvard.
This appears to be your source [0]. I'm posting it because it's easier to have a conversation about the full report than about your extracts from the report.
It's not quite that bad, but UC/ Cal State tuition used to be next to nothing. In my mother's time it was effectively free. Now your out 14k for a UC and 8k for a Cal State.
This very likely does not make a difference on your total tax bill, especially now that other deductions are limited (like mortgage interest).
Also, even if sales tax paid did make a difference on your tax paid, there is a simple calculator that estimates your sales tax paid that you can use instead of summing sales tax over all transactions.
If you want to play around with different scenarios, I recommend you try the tool "Excel1040" [1]. It is free but consider a donation. Works great in LibreOffice Calc but pay attention to the loading instructions.
