Screen time linked with developmental delays, study finds | CNN ( www.cnn.com )
A study in JAMA Pediatrics found a relationship between screen time as a baby and developmental delays as a toddler. This draws more ground to further investigate the health effects of electronics usage by children and what types of media have detrimental effects on development.

Advice for channel using GPT-4-Turbo for scientific paper summaries? ( m.youtube.com )
So I’ve been working on an implementation of GPT-4-Turbo that’s designed to ingress entire papers into its context window and process them into summaries that would be understandable by someone with a highschool education (originally went for 8th grade max, but that led to rather patronizing results lol). The machine tells...

Your brain finds it easy to size up four objects but not five — here’s why ( www.nature.com )
An experiment found that the brain uses one set of neural circuits to identify the numbers 1–4; these circuits are very specific to their own numbers. A separate set of circuits respond to the numbers 5–9; these are less precise, and are activated by adjacent numbers....
