is there a subreddit for retraining your brain to recover sustained attention skills (the kind of thing destroyed by browsing reddit, ironically)? i.e., undoing the damage as described in The Shallows or other books on the cognitive effects of the internet and short form content

What is says in the title. I'm not even a short form addict (no Tiktok or anything like that), but just browsing the web has apparently atrophied my sustained attention capacity and related cognitive skills, which has become a problem now that I'm trying to use my brain again. Looking for resources of things to do other than reading long form

chatgpt web portal enforces compaction immediately after successful input verification, before it actually reviews anything, and sabotages output

I've been using 5.6 sol on pro through the chatgpt interface. For various reasons I'm more comfortable with this than codex, and until recently it's been fine--I've adapted my workflow. However, the past few days, sessions have been compacting automatically after ingestion of inputs, before it reviews anything or does any work. (The title is partially a quote from the report I had 5.6 sol do on its own compaction events, and matched what I saw when I asked it to alert on any compaction events live while "thinking".)

What this means in practice is that 5.6 is consuming the context I give it to perform a task, then immediately compacting after it consumes that context, regardless of actual context burden. Only then does it actually get to work. The result has been inaccurate and faulty results.

To quote the end of gpt's own report: "the operator-side evidence is sufficient to identify premature, accuracy-damaging compaction, but not to distinguish a low threshold from a checkpoint, retry, routing event, or implementation defect. ...

My overall classification is:

> Probable ChatGPT/Workspace Agent state-management defect or overly aggressive compaction policy, with hidden ingestion/tool expansion as a possible contributing factor."

So...this fucking sucks. And makes this model unusable in this form. Has anyone else experienced this?

NQ spreads (but also spreads in general)

How are you handling the spreads in NQ? they've blown up since...well. we know why. how have you adapted? if you trade market orders, have you developed additional filtering or an adaptive engine? if you've switched to limit, how did this change the rest of your strategy?
