[no spoilers]
I'm late to the House of the Dragon party, as friends didn't speak too highly of it compared to Game of Thrones. I, however, loved House of the Dragon. The intrigue is deep and fascinating. This post is not about the story, in particular, but about two vexing visual issues.

1. As in Game of Thrones, the indoor scenes are overexposed, especially when simulating moonlight coming from a side window. Cameras expose for 18% grey, I get it, but faces and bodies don't need to be exposed within this range. Highlights are blown out, with bright white edge searing edge lighting. It's completely unnatural. To the lighting directors: Be brave! Let the protagonists plunge into darkness. It's OK. There was no electricity in the dragon era. Don't be afraid of dark and shadows... and no, it's not my TV.
2. Also, as in Game of Thrones. The rendering of dragons, especially when flying, is subpar. Their skin is over-etched, as if atmosphere doesn't exist. Look closely. There are no sharp edges in nature. Again, scenes are overexposed and the movement is fractured, stuttered, and not fluid. This isn't the fault of CGI. They are given a measly budget. HBO needs to up the ante into paying for perfection during these scenes.

The dragon chase in the last episode of season 1 was ridiculous. As if people can soar 10,000 feet up in the air during rain and lightening and not freeze to death, let alone hang on to their saddles for more than a second. Dress the characters appropriately and secure the riders on their dragons. Don't force us to suspend disbelief. Like GOT, the flying dragon scenes won't age well. I felt like I was watching The Never Ending Story or Harry Potter. Dragons are key to the believability of this incredible world created by George R.R. Martin. Respect his vision. House of the Dragon isn't a Disney movie.

Most 42" tvs are admit 36" wide.
That means 18" clearance for half the tv if the TV is perpendicular to the wall.
So it should have 20+" clearance -- not to the wall -- but to the inner most bracket.
I want the TV to be exactly 90 degrees to the wall, not 89. So clearance is key.
I don't have the TV picked out but it will be a 42" for the gym. With two pieces of equipment on the left and right against the same wall. So we would just spin the TV around 180 degrees for the particular machine.
Thanks!

Hello y'all! We are planning a flat with my girlfriend and have trouble deciding on design for living area. Needless to say there is not enough space so we have to get creative to squeeze as much as possible from it.
We got help from interior designer. We think she did a great job, but the final decision is ours, and it's not an easy one.
Variant A
https://preview.redd.it/cl16mndlk71d1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e414a0224a3109e711a3b196d6e8d8c446a2480

Pros:

• a more specious entrance
• nicely separated living area
• bricks are nicely cut of with lamels
• there is a space for keys etc behind lamels
• ability to watch TV when sitting by the table

Cons:

• little space around table
• glare from the window behind (needs to be covered in order to watch TV comfortably - glare is a strong issue for me personally)
• I am not sure where to put a light switch ???
• need to more sofa to accommodate more people around the table

Variant B
https://preview.redd.it/8thwraufm71d1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1876c077f7d4fba8034f2c6f9aa1f4ff01c090e1

Pros:

• More space around the table (generally more space)
• Visually more spacious room (the same color on a wall in a hall and "northern" wall)
• Easy to place light switch
• Easier movement
• Sofa and table can form a single area/space

Cons:

• Less space on the entry (between fridge on sofa)
• (possible) glare from the hall - there is technically no window there but still I am really afraid of glare. Can it happen with doors open? I am not sure :/
• Sitting with your back to hall (psychologically uncomfortable)

Variant X
This one is basen on Variant A, but tries something more creative. I would like to use mechanical arm for TV with remote to rotate it. I am having trouble finding one that fits our needs but I might have one that might. I am waiting for the answers from manufacturer.
https://preview.redd.it/lkpmlz37o71d1.png?width=1688&format=png&auto=webp&s=8f10e0d1bfe652cd8300eaf50b7d73080730b090

I know pictures here are NOT good, but this is just my messing in "home.by.me". Visually I expect it to resemble exactly Variant A with different TV/sofa placement.
Summary
It is a hard decision so if we missed anything about those variants of you feel like you have arguments that one is better or the other then we would appreciate it. So far friends and family are divided. Variant X is tempting but also very unsure - I am not sure if I can find a hardware to make that work within my budget or at all.
Thank you all for help in advance.

I benefitted a lot from the advice on this subreddit and used a lot of it to guide my approach to M3 year; now that I've had the chance to sit the exam, I wanted to create an exam write-up in the hopes that it will be useful to others. This write-up is lengthy, as I wanted to include advice for any new M3 students about how to maximize 3rd year, as well as some Step 2-specific strategies and advice.
A little about me: I am a non-traditional student (in my 30s) at a mid-tier US MD school. Pre-clinical grades were good (honored 2nd year, 0.5% away from honoring 1st year). Honored every rotation in 3rd year. I am a peer tutor at my medical school and was actively involved in tutoring 1st and 2nd year students throughout my M3 year and dedicated.
I am a big believer in students teaching students and the idea that if we all work together, we all become better students and clinicians. In that spirit, I welcome you to ask me any questions that you have below.

Overview

In general, my advice boils down to:

1. Don't try to use EVERY resource. Choose a few high-quality resources and really know them well.
   
2. Doing well on Step 2 (and shelf exams, tbh) requires active learning strategies and continually trying to think about what the next step would be. Practice questions are a great way to do this, but challenge yourself to go beyond what each individual question to build a broader knowledge base. That way, you won't only know the answer to that specific question, but also to a whole host of related questions.
   

General studying tips for 3rd year + dedicated
I am a big believer that the most effective study strategy involves four big components:

1. A question bank (UWorld) - gives you primary exposure to the material and helps to identify where your gaps are.
2. A system for continuously reviewing content - I used Anki (I discuss this more below). You can also use other strategies (note-taking, old school flash cards), but the important thing is that your review strategy needs to be ACTIVE (i.e., not just re-reading your old notes, but actively quizzing yourself and covering up the answers) and it needs to be CONTINUOUS. I did not pause any Anki cards during 3rd year, so by the time I got to dedicated, I had been actively, continuously reviewing content for months.
3. Resource(s) for primary sources - this is where you go when you need to refresh on pathophysiology, look up treatment/diagnostic testing for a disease, or understand the symptoms. I prefer UpToDate for this broadly, and used some additional resources on specific clerkships that I will discuss below.
4. Practice exams - NBME practice shelf exams ("CMS forms") and NBME Step 2 practice exams; do them timed to practice pacing.

A note on AMBOSS vs UWorld
A lot of people I know use AMBOSS and like it. Some people want an additional bank of questions to study from. I didn't personally use AMBOSS at all during 3rd year, and only used it for Ethics and QI during dedicated (and honestly, it was only marginally useful - may have gotten me 1 or 2 extra points on the real step 2 exam, but not more than that).
I think the smartest way to approach Q-banks is to make sure you have enough time to complete and thoroughly review at least one. For me, UWorld was more than enough to prepare well for each shelf exam and step 2 (honored every rotation). I think that a lot of people who try to use both AMBOSS and UWorld never finish either Q-bank in its entirety, or don't really review the Q-bank adequately. I decided it was a better use of my time and money to review only one but really know it well.
A note on Anki
Anki is a powerful tool that can really help with your long term retention, but it is dangerous if used incorrectly. I suspect that many people who don't find Anki helpful simply don't use it effectively.
The purpose of Anki is spaced repetition. In order for this to work, you have to keep up with reviews and you can't pause cards. I also caution students I tutor to be cautious of relying solely on a premade Anki deck; I used the AnKing deck, as well as this deck and a home-brew deck at my medical school.
During M3 year, I would start each rotation with UWorld from day 1, and as I came across each concept in UWorld, I would do a search through my Anki cards and unpause all the cards that related to that topic (so, for instance, when I got a question about diverculitis, I would then unpause all the diverticulitis cards). I found that doing this ensured that the new Anki cards I was adding were reviews of concepts I had just studied (via UWorld), so I was able to both reinforce the new content via Anki and also ensure that the new Anki cards I was adding were concepts that I was actually familiar with. I recommended this approach over the one that I saw many classmates using (just unpausing all the cards tagged for a clerkship at the start of the clerkship and "raw dogging" them, as my friend put it). It's also a good way to keep your daily new cards (and thus, your reviews) at a manageable number. On a typical day in 3rd year, I added between 50-100 new cards and averaged 250-350 reviews daily. I was nearly always able to complete my reviews while I was at the hospital each day, leaving my home study time free for UWorld.
A note on staying sane and prioritizing high-yield content
As others have said, I think that the best way to do extremely well on Step 2 CK is to approach M3 as a yearlong dedicated period. Doing well on Step 2 is not just about your preparation for the Step 2 exam, but also your learning during each rotation and your preparation for your shelf exams. Even if you're not at all interested in a particular specialty, there is a lot to learn from each rotation that will be valuable to you as a future physician. Additionally, each specialty has its own way of approaching medical decision-making, and paying attention to these patterns of thought can help you to reason through questions on exams, as well as be a better communicator with physicians in each specialty when you become a resident and attending.
As you progress through 3rd year, there are also a few things that I think it's wise to keep in mind:

• Remember that you are a person first and a medical student/doctor second. I put this first because it's the most important. It's hard to learn when your basic needs aren't being met or you're so anxious, stressed, or depressed you can't remember anything. Find something that keeps you grounded and whole and sane and make that a priority. For me, it's distance running. I ran nearly every day of 3rd year and dedicated (often at 3 AM, before rounds). I finished 3 marathons during M3 and dedicated, including running the Boston Marathon 2 weeks before I took step 2. Running relieves anxiety, gives me an excuse to step away from studying, and evens out my mood. In total, I ran over 2500 miles during my M3 year. I don't think I would have done anywhere near as well in M3 without it.
• Get really, really good at preventive care. The US Preventive Services Task Force guidelines are highly tested on all shelf exams and on Step 2, and there really aren't that many of them. Before my family med rotation, I made an Anki deck of the A and B recommendations based on the most recent updates and kept those in rotation through Step 2 (about 150 cards total). If you're at the beginning of M3 year, (or really any point in M3) I would suggest doing this right now. Every time you see a patient in clinic, think about "what screening exams should this patient have". If you get in the habit of always doing this, by the time you get to the exam, those screening questions will be free points (and there are usually a bunch of them).
• Try to approach every patient encounter as though you are the sole physician responsible for that patient's care. Formulate your own plan independently of residents or attendings. Ask questions about all these things in your patient interview, and present the answers to your attending. You will learn more if you push yourself to try to think about management from the beginning of 3rd year rather than relying on plans from your residents.
• Pay attention to sensitivity and specificity of tests. This is becoming a bigger and bigger deal on NBMEs and Step 2. Knowing sensitivity and specificity can help you determine whether a given finding in a question stem is significant or not.
• Look up every imaging test and diagnostic procedure you come across, whether in clinic or on a practice exam. A good rule of thumb for whether you understand a test is "Do I know when this test is appropriate, when it is inappropriate, and could I explain it to a patient?". I had a surgery fellow pimp me on when to order an ERCP vs MRCP; this stuff is important because it prevents unnecessary testing and allows you to get the most "bang for your buck", both in terms of diagnostic accuracy and scoring points on the "next step" questions on exams.
• Pay attention to thresholds for follow-up observation vs treatment. If a patient has a AAA that's 3 cm, you do serial ultrasounds and watch it clinically; if it's 7 cm, you operate. Many, many conditions have similar thresholds, and you should look for the differences in how you manage a condition based on the thresholds. Sometimes this stuff is buried in the UWorld explanations, so when you see it, make a flash card or add it to your review.
• Know the USPSTF screening guidelines like the back of your hand. There aren't that many of them, and it's basically free points on every single shelf exam + step 2. Make a flash card deck with the most updated versions on day 1 and review it throughout 3rd year. Especially high yield on FM + IM, but they appear on every shelf.
• Think about what things a specialty "cares about" when you're rotating on that specialty.
  • OBGYN: gestational age, STI history/screening, social/fam Hx of risk factors for gyn cancers (breast, cervical, ovarian, endometrial).
  • Surgery: is the patient safe to take to surgery (comorbidities, heart failure, coagulopathies, meds, etc)? When is surgery indicated (i.e., do they have to go now, or can they wait)? Antibiotic prophylaxis (who needs it, and what antibiotics)? Post-op complications (the "5 W's", leaks, nearby structures that can be injured)? Normal post-op care/patient safety (DVT prophylaxis, catheter removal, infections, etc).
  • Peds: developmental milestones/normal development/growth curves, rashes (pediatricians love rashes), upper respiratory infections, stuff that gets treated differently in kids (ex. febrile UTI), neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (basically guaranteed to get at least one question on this on any peds exam)
  • IM: Preventive care/screening, vaccines, hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, ACS, liver failure/cirrhosis.
  • FM: IM + Peds + OBGYN, with a heavy focus on preventive screenings
  • Psych: Pay attention to timelines; think of every psych disease as a continuum (i.e., <1 mo = brief psychotic disorder, 1-6 mo = schizophreniform, 6+ = schizophrenia, schizophrenia + mood symptoms = schizophreniform). Find something that makes sense to you for the personality disorders (I personally mapped them all onto Harry Potter characters and now I will never have to re-learn them).
  • Neuro: Differentiating causes of stroke, multiple sclerosis, when to get an MRI (answer: always get an MRI in neuro), different types of dementia

Subject Review

This section is intended for those who are starting or still in the midst of M3 year. If you're already in dedicated, this section may be less useful.
For all rotations, my strategy was generally:

1. Complete the UWorld Shelf exam Q-bank with 1-2 weeks to spare
2. Make/unpause Anki cards as I worked through UWorld
3. Take timed NBME practice shelf exams regularly throughout the rotation(I sat down at the start of each rotation and planned these out every 1-2 weeks so they were evenly spaced throughout the rotation). Get through every practice exam by the end of the rotation. Doing them timed is important because it helps you to practice pacing. One 50-question exam at 90 seconds/ question = 75 minutes total. I also wrote down the diagnosis for each question so that when I reviewed the exam, I could see whether any wrong answers were a problem with making the wrong diagnosis vs knowing the next step. Doing the NBME shelf exams also gives you a good sense of what the "pet concepts" that tend to occur over and over are (for instance, SCFE vs Legg-Calve-Perthes comes up shockingly often)

Order of rotations:
I did my rotations in the order listed below and I really liked this order. I know many people advocate for finishing on Internal Medicine, but I was very glad I started with it, because I think it laid a strong foundation for everything else. As long as you have a solid strategy for reviewing the IM content continuously throughout the year, I think it's a smart choice for the first rotation, especially because basically every other shelf exam will have 5-10 IM questions on it.
Medicine
Resources: UWorld (IM shelf bank + 1/2 of Ambulatory), Case Files Internal Medicine (did ~50% of it), USPSTF A & B guidelines, NBME practice shelf exams ("CMS forms"), Emma Holliday review
Advice: If you have free time 1-2 weeks before starting IM, get through as much of Case Files as you can. It lays a good base and helps you get into the mindset of IM. Once you start the rotation, crank through UWorld. I'd suggest trying to finish the UWorld Q's with 1-2 weeks to spare at the end of the clerkship in which you can review incorrects and/or shore up any weak areas.
Raw Score: 85
Neurology
Resources: UWorld, Case Files: Neurology, NBME practice shelf exams ("CMS forms")
Advice: Case Files Neuro is a little in the weeds, but it will help a lot with some of the more off-the-wall pathologies that aren't really seen in the UWorld bank.
Raw Score: 90
Psychiatry
Resources: UWorld, Case Files: Psych, NBME practice shelf exams ("CMS forms"). A lot of people swear by First Aid for the Psychiatry Clerkship; I didn't use it (but I think Case Files accomplished much the same purpose)
Advice: Pay attention to timelines + enjoy the psychation! This is the lightest rotation for most people. Take it in the summer if at all possible and enjoy the nice weather and free time. If you can, get it somewhere in the middle of 3rd year so you can have a little break.
Raw Score: 94
Family Medicine
Resources: UWorld (FM bank + 1/2 of ambulatory bank), Case Files: Family Med, NBME practice shelf exams ("CMS forms"), USPSTF A & B guidelines, CDC vaccination schedules
Advice: Try to take FM after IM, if at all possible. DO NOT underestimate the family medicine shelf exam. It is the broadest shelf exam, and it's heavily weighted towards prevention, so plan your studying accordingly. Know the USPSTF guidelines and vaccine schedules like the back of your hand (this is at least 25-30% of the shelf exam).
Raw Score: 85
Surgery
Resources: UWorld (Surgery bank + EM bank), de Virgilio's Surgery, NBME practice shelf exams ("CMS forms") for EM and Surgery, American College of Surgeons TEAM (Trauma Evaluation and Management) course book, Emma Holliday review
Advice: The surgery shelf exam focuses heavily on the pre- and post-surgical management of surgical patients, trauma assessment (hence the EM questions/CMS forms above), and knowing the indications for surgery. You will not be asked how to do a surgery on the shelf exam, but you will be expected to know when a surgery is indicated vs when medical management should be used instead (and also what that medical management is). De Virgilio's is a great and under-utilized resource that has a fantastic question bank at the end of each chapter. I would recommend reading at least the GI, vascular, breast, endocrine, and trauma sections (and honestly, as much of it as you have time for).
Raw Score: 85
Obstetrics and Gynecology
Resources: UWorld, Case Files: OBGYN, NBME practice shelf exams ("CMS forms"), ACOG guidelines, UWise questions
Advice: OBGYN is all about timelines (at least, the OB part is). Pay attention to gestational age requirements for diagnosis of various conditions. Know the various labs that are used to diagnose Pre-eclampsia with severe features, and really pay attention to risk factors for the various obstetric complications. As one nurse midwife I worked with put it, "The biggest risk factor anything in L & D is usually a history of the same complication". I didn't really find the UWise Q-bank that useful, but if you have extra time, it's a nice source of extra practice questions, or a good way to reinforce any trouble spots.
Raw Score: 87
Pediatrics
Resources: UWorld, Case Files: Pediatrics, NBME practice shelf exams ("CMS forms"), CDC vaccination schedule, Emma Holliday review
Advice: Know the general trends of pediatric vital signs (what's normal for an adult is abnormal for most pediatric patients and vice versa), pay attention to rashes and dermatology, and review these as often as possible. It's well worth your time to do a good review of all the glycogen storage diseases, inborn errors of metabolism, lysosomal storage diseases, etc that you forgot after Step 1. For this reason, if you can do Peds as your last rotation before Step 2 it's kind of nice...then you only have to re-learn all this stuff once. This stuff is fair game for Step 2 (and I did personally get questions on it on my exam).
Raw Score: 91

Dedicated Study

I completed my first pass of UWorld during my M3 core rotations with an average of 74%. I did reset UWorld and begin a 2nd pass during dedicated, but I found that the questions repeated a lot of content that I knew well, and ultimately decided it wasn't a good use of my time. I only completed about 20% of my 2nd pass of UWorld with an average of 92%.
My main resources during dedicated were NBME practice exams (I did 8-14 timed), UWSAs, and the Free 120. I also listened to some Divine Intervention episodes on my runs and reviewed the Emma Holliday shelf exam reviews (I had previously listened to these during my M3 rotations). Of the podcasts, I found the Divine Intervention Free 120 review the most helpful, and would strongly recommend listening to those episodes after you take the Free 120. It did a lot to help me with some test taking strategies that I used on exam day.
General advice for dedicated:

• Keep on a regular sleep schedule, even on your days off. I went to bed at 10 and got up at 6 every day, because I wanted my schedule to be close to what I would need to do on test day.
• Take days off. I took at least 1/2 a day off every week. I also ran a major marathon 2 weeks before my test day, so that was a very light weekend in terms of studying.
• Keep exercising and doing things you enjoy. For me, this meant running a marathon (something I do regularly). You don't have to go as crazy as I did, but do something to get outside and stay active. It will help you keep the anxiety under control and see the sunlight every so often.
• Take practice exams regularly and spend plenty of time reviewing them. I made a google doc to keep track of incorrects and assigned each one to a category of "why I got it wrong" (i.e., "overthinking", "knowledge gap", "guessed wrong of 2", etc). This helps to identify trends. I found that I have a tendency to overthink questions, so identifying this helped me to address this weakness and gave me confidence to go with my gut instinct on the exam.
• Don't be afraid to adjust your study plan during dedicated. I started a 2nd pass of UWorld, but after about 2 weeks of dedicated, I felt like I wasn't really getting anything additional out of it and I was remembering too many of the questions from my 1st pass, so I just stopped using it. I spent that time on other resources instead (more practice exams). Take the time to really analyze which activities are actually helping your learning. Don't just do something because that's what everyone else is doing during their dedicated.
• Keep up with your review strategy. For me, this was Anki. I spent 2-4 hours every morning during dedicated doing Anki. At times, I worried that this was too much time on Anki, but part of what makes Step 2 (and all USMLE exams) challenging is the sheer breadth of content. The best way to prep for this is to keep consistent with your review strategy.
• If there's a concept you dread seeing in a question stem, STOP, do not pass Go, do not collect $20. Take a second to go to a primary source (UpToDate, a textbook) and review that content. Make some flash cards and review it regularly.
• Practice your timing. I came up with my exam day break strategy at the start of my dedicated, and every time I took a practice exam, I practiced my break strategy (at least, the first 5 blocks of my break strategy). This made it very easy for me to execute on test day because I was already used to doing 5 blocks in a row exactly this way. I took my lunch break after block 5 instead of block 4 (because I liked the psychological factor of knowing the exam was more than halfway done). Coming back for 3 more was no problem on test day.

My practice exam scores:
CCSE: 254 (my school requires this, and it was given a few days after the final shelf exam, right at the start of my dedicated period)
NBME 9 (30 days out) 269
NBME 10 (21 days out) 268
NBME 11 (18 days out) 262
NBME 12 (15 days out) 251
NBME 13 (7 days out) 264
NBME 14 (2 days out) 264
UWSA 1 (25 days out) 254
UWSA 2 (9 days out) 268
UWSA 3 (5 days out) 266
New Free 120 (3 days out) 85%
Predicted score: 265

The Day Before

Just take a break, for the love of all that is good. I went for a run, watched some old TV, read for fun, had a nice pasta dinner, and tried to go to bed early. Laid out everything I needed (lucky t-shirt, snacks, testing permit, ID, keys, etc).
Of course, I ended up tossing and turning most of the night and slept very poorly. When I woke up, I considered trying to postpone my test, but ultimately I decided I just wanted it over and done with and I wasn't willing to wait any longer. My point here is that even if you have anxiety and/or a single bad night of sleep before the exam, you can still do very well if you've done the work. As we say in the marathon world, trust your training.

The Test

Got to the testing center 45 minutes early. Made sure the last thing I did before going through security was to take a bathroom break. Brought plenty of snacks, headache medication, chocolate, and a healthy and delicious lunch (I think there's some psychological power in knowing you have a delicious lunch awaiting you).
During the exam, I took a break of at least 5 min after every block. Personally, I found the mental break was extremely helpful. On the whole, I found the exam to be quite reasonable.
Step 2 CK: 277
My last piece of advice will be that I think doing well throughout third year is the best thing you can do. If you've had a break after 3rd year or you are an IMG or someone coming from a non-traditional program, doing a thorough content review with the CMS forms before starting Step 2 specific practice exams is a good idea.
Ultimately, I think the most important things are:
1.) Choosing a FEW, QUALITY resources to review
2.) Continuing your ACTIVE, CONTINUOUS review strategy
3.) Keeping a consistent schedule with time for sleep, healthy eating, exercise, and something you find fun (ideally something other than TV).
4.) Staying off Reddit. Really, I mean it. Especially during dedicated, it's just a black hole of anxiety and angst and you should avoid it at all costs. Come back after you get your amazing scores and pay it forward to others.

Abstract:

We ask whether multilingual language models trained on unbalanced, English-dominated corpora use English as an internal pivot language -- a question of key importance for understanding how language models function and the origins of linguistic bias. Focusing on the Llama-2 family of transformer models, our study uses carefully constructed non-English prompts with a unique correct single-token continuation. From layer to layer, transformers gradually map an input embedding of the final prompt token to an output embedding from which next-token probabilities are computed. Tracking intermediate embeddings through their high-dimensional space reveals three distinct phases, whereby intermediate embeddings (1) start far away from output token embeddings; (2) already allow for decoding a semantically correct next token in the middle layers, but give higher probability to its version in English than in the input language; (3) finally move into an input-language-specific region of the embedding space. We cast these results into a conceptual model where the three phases operate in "input space", "concept space", and "output space", respectively. Crucially, our evidence suggests that the abstract "concept space" lies closer to English than to other languages, which may have important consequences regarding the biases held by multilingual language models.

From layer to layer, transformers gradually map an input embedding of the final prompt token to an output embedding from which next-token probabilities are computed. Tracking intermediate embeddings through their high-dimensional space reveals three distinct phases, whereby intermediate embeddings (1) start far away from output token embeddings; (2) already allow for decoding a semantically correct next token in the middle layers, but give higher probability to its version in English than in the input language; (3) finally move into an input-language-specific region of the embedding space. We cast these results into a conceptual model where the three phases operate in "input space", "concept space", and "output space", respectively. Crucially, our evidence suggests that the abstract "concept space" lies closer to English than to other languages, which may have important consequences regarding the biases held by multilingual language models.

TLDR: ISO Rural/country oriented, right leaning, quiet life
Core Requirements - Age 30-50 - Location: must in the US (non-negotiable), anywhere in the south east - NOT married or in any type of committed relationship. I am VERY monogamous.
Vanilla: - ***** Must be into rural living and/or homesteading, prepping*** - Speak fluent sarcasm and have a great sense of humor (The darker the better!) - Doesn’t take life too seriously, goes with the flow - Pro 2a
BASICS: I’m an introverted homebody that enjoys a simple life. Low key, low drama, low maintenance. I have all the typical ‘adulting’ in order (car, house, job etc) and I’m simply looking for a person to enjoy that with. Speaking of a jobs, I also have a side gig (reselling) that is my passion project. Three Great Danes are what I consider to my children, but no actual tiny humans, nor have I ever been married. I also thrive on sarcasm and dark humor.
While I currently live in Northeast Ohio, I do plan on relocating to somewhere in the southeast, preferably somewhere with mountains.
HOBBIES: I have ADHD, so collecting hobbies is a thing. I’m also very prone to researching anything that pops into kind (pick a topic and I’m sure we can have a great conversation on it) Current hobbies include reselling (and always learning more about e-commerce), house plants, gardening and the dogs. Being a Pisces, being around water brings me a lot of peace. Whether that’s walking on the beach, fishing or kayaking. I also love the outdoors! Camping, hiking, bushcraft.. you name it, I’m down. I don’t watch much tv or movies, though I adore books! I also adore music, and almost all genres (except rap)
DISCLAIMERS: As stated I have ADHD, but also BPD, CPTSD, depression and anxiety. These conditions are well managed (I’ve ‘done the work’). So while they’re not my entire being, they have shaped who I’ve become.
ABOUT YOU: I don’t care how much money you make, but I do request that you’re life be in order and emotionally capable of a relationship. Having a great sense of humor is extremely important. Because while there times to be serious, I tend to just roll with the flow and not get bogged down by things that won’t matter in a month or year.
I crave a deep and substance filled partner with whom we can share thoughts, musings and ramblings from the mundane to aliens to the philosophical. And of course, everything in between.
I’d also want a partner who enjoys a slower paced life. If you travel a lot, we probably won’t be a good fit. I find peace and calm at home, I’d like someone similar. But also someone who’s into either farming. Homesteading, prepping or something alone those

I (m14) had a birthday back in September, I hyped it up a lot. My Aunt’s husband (“uncle”) promised to get me a laptop for my birthday (I hadn’t had a new computer since like 2019 and the one I had was a old IMac my mom got me for Christmas, so you could imagine how happy I was to hear that I’d get a new one.) He made the promise to get me a laptop in i think like July? I showed him the laptops I wanted (plural ‘cus I kept changing my mind) and he was okay with it, until he wasn’t, when I found out that he wanted to get a Desktop (which I tried to warn him why they’re inferior to laptops, and why I didn’t want it AT ALL.) I found this out when I was at a Best Buy with him and my younger cousin, I was in the laptop section (which was not too far from the desktops) when I heard him whisper to my cousin along the lines of something like “(My name) wants this but we’re gonna get something like this tapping on a desktop as he says it” Which inclined me to give him a mean/annoyed look which he shrugged off. This also confused me a lot since the laptops I wanted were 700-900 dollars and the desktops he wanted were 1000 and up. (I forgot to mention that he is rich) nothing really happened after until it was like 2 weeks left until my birthday where I LITERALLY BEGGED AND GOT ON MY KNEES to reassure them to get a laptop. They said “okay” and told me to calm down, and so I waited.
You can probably already guess what they got me, I feel spoiled when I say this but; I literally cried when I made back to my room after seeing my presents. I felt really hurt and betrayed.
After maybe like 2 weeks? They started insulting me about not using it (Context: they placed in the basement and hooked it up to the same tv my cousin hogs for Xbox.) My “uncle” came into my room and basically called me an ungrateful bitch-boy that never cares for anyone but myself. He brought up points about how he could’ve “ruined my life” if he hadn’t gave my mom extra money for her job (i was very poor when I was living with my mom.) He said that it was a risk that he did that and all in my mind I could say “seriously dude?”. He said everything in a very passive-aggressive manner, After I STILL didn’t use it, he tried to guilt trip me saying that he put “so much thought into that present and that he’ll never buy me a present again.” He also managed to get my aunt on his side, also insulting me and even getting mad at me for just clicking keys on keyboard! (Unplugged btw).
I’d be wrong if I said they didn’t convince me to feel bad about myself and question my morality. This all made feel very spoiled but a teeny weeny percent in me makes me feel that I’m right. Am I actually spoiled and wrong?
(Sorry for any literary mistakes)

Edit: DO NOT message me a simple hi or hello, with no information about you, Put some effort in to your message like i have, come on. Day+Attempt#191
Hello everyone, Thank you for taking the time to read, I know its long, I know - I know. But its worth the read, Trust me. I appreciate you immensely.
Here's a bit about me,
My name is Jay, I live on the East coast of the US. I'm looking for love - like everyone else on here.., but you may not believe or even be doubtful that I've never had a GF before with me being 26, but its true. I'm simply just not willing to "be with" just anyone and I'm very picky. I want us to be a match, more than just have similar things in common.
One thing I have always been told is that I'm a "Real Catch, I'd be extremely lucky to have someone like you" - WELL THEN TAKE ME. I'M FREE. LOL.
About me:
Physically -
~I'm a semi-tall guy, around 5'10.
~I'm thin but muscular.
~I have dirty blonde/ brown hair.
~Changing colored eyes.
~A voice nice enough to melt all your safeguards and get right into your heart and weak spots.
~I do not have any tattoos or piercings. Though I would like to get some eventually.
If you'd like to see a picture of me just ask and I'll show you - IF I may see you as well, I simply just don't want a picture of me out there for anyone to see.
-If there's anything else you'd like to know just ask.
Otherwise -
~I do have 3 pet bunnies I would be more than happy to show you, they are extremely cute.
~I'm a very honest and down to earth guy.
~I'm very patient and easy going.
~I'm very curious and inquisitive. I will try to ask everything I can to learn all about you haha.
~I'm Very VERY Kind & Caring, I will probably ask how you are feeling a bajillion times a day, simply out of care for you.
~I can get pretty clingy, and will always want your attention and to be talking with you. If i have someone im interested in i wont want to talk to anyone else🤷‍♂️
~I'm very trustworthy - you can confide in me, and entrust your deepest secrets and I wont tell a soul.
~I'm a HUGE hopeless romantic, im old fashioned and will always try to impress you.
- I'm, a BIG softie even though I may look a smol bit intimidating, but I'd do just about anything to see you smile or laugh. And yes.., I do mean anything.
~I'm a big goof - I will get up to some silly shenanigans ALL the time, I will crack dumb jokes and send you memes and tik toks just to make you happy, even if its from across the room I'd wait to see your reaction lol.
~I'm extremely loyal, and would never even think of cheating.
~I will cook for you, and clean up too, even around the house, I'm very self productive and don't ask for much. Just don't forget to kiss the cook.
~I'd also love to just cuddle up and watch a movie or read a book together, anything to get us closer. Id try to take you out on dates whenever possible haha. I have a million SUPER romantic date ideas I have but have never had anyone interested enough in me to take out. Here's your chance ;)
~I will always want to share stuff I find interesting with you, and try to share every moment of every day with you. I'm not looking for someone who can only talk for a small amount of time, I want someone who's willing to put in all the effort I put into them back into me, it goes both ways. If I'm "with" someone you are my TOP priority nobody and nothing else would be. You would be the only person I'd truly want to talk to, so rest assured I would NEVER cheat, even more so because no one is interested in me - Hence why I'm here hahaha.
I'm sure there is more to me than this snippet but I cant think of more at the moment haha, so get to know me and find out more about me.
Some of my interests are: Engineering- I'm a nerd. I admit it. I love being technical and hands on, I love building things. All kinds of things, from furniture, machinery, and reverse engineering anything I find. I love learning how things work and trying to improve things.
Music - I prefer music with a very fast pace, or with some very meaningful lyrics I can relate to. I love to sing along to music and songs that have a deep meaning behind it I can sympathize with makes it all the better. Some bands I like are: Bad Omens, Beartooth, Demon Hunter, MIW, I9K - The list goes on. I'm a bit of a metalhead unfortunately.
TV Shows & Movies - I love watching shows, and I'd love to stream some shows and have some E-dates with you, to get to know you, or if you are close to me, maybe we could do it in person. Some shows I like or more of the Fantasy/Sci-Fi, Comedy, Action, stuff like: National Treasure, Halo, BattleBots, Rick and Morty, AHS, Anything Marvel or DC, The Witcher, Wednesday, The Sandman, The Magicians, The Umbrella Academy, ETC.
Gaming - Yes yes I know, Basic guy likes basic stuff. But gaming has been a thing for me since forever. I know most of you wont care or want to hear that, but I'll leave out the specifics on this part unless you are interested in that, MEGA Bonus points if you are.
Here's a lists of Cons to dating me-
~I'm not Ryan Reynolds. Disappointing, I know.
~I will fight you on what goes on pizza lol.
~I'm not rich.., Yet.
~I can't pronounce Worcestershire.
~I'm slightly forgetful, but with good reasoning.
~(Not really a con but- some might disagree) I still have ALL of my firsts, Do with that what you will c:
~I've got an endless pile of love and affection and no one to give it to! What a dilemma! Help me fix it?
Other than that I'll save the rest for a bit more of getting to know each other.
Here's a bit of what I'm looking in you:
~Preferably someone with lots of free time, and loves to chit chat. I'm seriously not interested in getting 1 message a day. Though I understand people get busy, I personally am not willing to try to learn about you and form something with 7 responses a week. Effort gets reciprocated and I appreciate the time you put in me.
~Physically: -I’m not personally attracted to anyone who’s “curvy/ chubby”, I apologize. Not a shallow thing, I just dont have the attraction chemical in my brain for that, I’m sorry. -If you’re shorter than me, thats a plus to me. -I love dimples, if you have those when you smile, bonus points 😊 - I’m not sure what else to put.., but as for nsfw wise find out😂
~I'm a sucker for a different accent other than American, and if you have an Posh English accent you have already won my heart.
~I'm also only really looking for someone within the ages of 18-35. I don't want anyone old enough to be my mom lol.
~I'd prefer (But not a must) people NOT on the other side of the world, as other time zones SUCK. I don't expect to find anyone who also has never had a boyfriend either, but that would be a real plus. I also don't mind a LDR, but I don't want that forever. But it gives us time to get to know each other.
But as for attributes I'm looking for in you:
~Someone who is above all else very very Loyal and would never cheat.
~Someone who is Honest, and will tell me the truth over a little white lie.
~Someone who is Kind & Caring, who'd constantly check on me, and accept me for who I am & help me improve day to day.
~Someone who is trustworthy, and I can count on to keep my secrets safe, or even just help me remember things.., I do tend to be somewhat forgetful.
~Someone who is very Patient and wants to see me succeed and will help me do so, just like I would help you. Even if its small day to day things, I would appreciate your company ANY time.
~I want a partner who is Affectionate, can reciprocate, and loves to snuggle and talk about their day, and what their interests are, and what makes them happy.
~Someone who can admit they get clingy or overprotective is a bonus.
~A partner with good communication is key, if something wrong we have to be able to talk about it.
~A partner who likes to game with me or at least watch me play would be a plus but not a requirement.
~Someone with a good sense of humor and like to joke around, I am a big goof after all and I love to joke around. Sending memes is always appreciated and good to cheer people up too!
~I'd prefer someone with the same music taste, but not a requirement, Plus if you wouldn't mind if I send you love songs occasionally that's a bonus, or sending me some back haha.
~Being willing to voice call is a must, Texting forever is not the way to go. I have to know what your voice is like haha, later on we can video call if you are comfortable with that. I prefer chatting on Discord because Reddit messages of any kind I'm sure you know are unreliable and sucky in general. So please send me your discord if you have one :)
~I would LOVE to see picture of your pets if you have any. Bonus points if it includes your beautiful self haha.
I'm sure there is more I'm looking for but I cant think of it right now haha, I will have to edit this when I think of it.
Please tell me about you as an opener! I told you a good bit about me, now its your turn haha.
Tell me some things like -
~What's your name?
~Where are you from?
~How old are you?
~What are your hobbies / interests?
~What about my post interested you?
~Where is my TV Remote?!
~Selfie? Pet pics?
~Hit me with your best joke or meme :)
~What's your favorite candy?
I'd LOVE to get to know you, and see where things go.
But yeah, I know it was long I'm sorry haha. Send me a message and lets get to know each other! :)

New England Patriots News Catchup Links - 2024 NFL Schedule: Patriots get royally screwed

• Patriots announce 2024 schedule. The Patriots first game against an AFC East opponent will be a Thursday Night Football game at the Jets on September 19.
• Mike Dussault analyzes New England’s schedule. ‘The Patriots have one of the toughest opponent lists in the NFL this season based on 2023 win percentage, landing in a three-way tie for eighth hardest overall.’
• NFL announces Patriots to face Jaguars in London in 2024.
• Alexandra Francisco reports Patriots players show support at CT Sun home opener as Caitlin Clark makes her WNBA debut.
• Mike Dussault and Evan Lazar offer a complete breakdown of the 2024 Patriots schedule. The Bye Week falls at the latest week possible, in Week 14. Pats will face the Bills twice in the final three weeks. More! (8 min. video)
• Good Jules Hunting: The Patriots 2024 schedule release. (3.46 min. video) /Well done!
• Mike Reiss offers his schedule takeaways and predictions. While the Patriots would have liked to have their road games against the 49ers and Cardinals paired up so they could stay out west, they instead will be making two cross-country treks this season. They are scheduled to travel 25,071 miles (fourth most of any team)’
• Andrew Callahan points out the NFL did the Patriots no favors with their brutal 2024 schedule. None.
• Mike D’Abate offers his key takeaways from the Pats’ schedule: From beginning a “new era” with their season opener on Sept. 8 to their Week 18 finale against the Bills, the Pats face a tough road on their efforts to rebuild.
• Mark Daniels’ thoughts on the entire Patriots schedule: The Jerod Mayo era will start on the road in Cincinnati.
• Mike Kadlick shares one schedule related thought and prediction for all 17 Patriots games.
• Alex Barth takes a game-by-game look at the Pats’ schedule. Week 5 vs. Miami: Coming into this game the Patriots have lost six of their last seven matchups with the Dolphins – including a sweep last year. This will be a good measuring stick for the Patriots somewhat early in the season.
• Chris Mason gives us 6 takeaways from the schedule release. 6. Happy holidays. After heading to Minnesota on Thanksgiving in 2022 and Denver on Christmas Eve last season, the Patriots don’t have a holiday game this year. Players will get to spend them at home.
• Ben Volin shares his thoughts on the 2024 schedule: The Patriots are now the tomato cans. The team’s only primetime game is the token Thursday night game, a Week 3 matchup vs. the Jets in which Aaron Rodgers, not the Patriots, is the draw. /Oof...
• Nicole Yang analyzes the Patriots schedule, game by game. Week 10 at Chicago Bears: If the Patriots deem rookie Drake Maye ready to start by at least Week 10, this could be a showdown between the first and third overall picks in this year’s draft.
• Faith Pinnow explains why the Patriots signed a rugby player from Australia. Jotham Russell came through the International Player Pathway program, allowing the Patriots to sign him without forfeiting one of their roster spots.
• Lauren Campbell relays Jason Kelce on how he thinks FOX did Greg Olsen “dirty” as Tom Brady prepares to make his Week 1 broadcasting debut. /Kelce didn’t say anything about ESPN doing Robert Griffin III dirty after Kelse replaced him on Monday Night Football.

From an evolutionary point of view, if your spouse sleeps with someone else, that could spell the end of your bloodline. It’s the genetic equivalent of murder. Your partner is pregnant and you think it’s yours? Too bad, that’s the end of your genetic blood line for eternity.
So it would make sense, would it not, for there to be some hardwired psychological reaction in men, to be extremely extremely uncomfortable with this. On a subconscious level.
Whereas on the other hand, if you’re a woman living in that same pre civilisation period, and your man sleeps with someone else - what have you actually lost? In real terms. What is the damage? Where is the loss?
So this made me wonder whether the jealousy and possessiveness that women experience, is entirely different to what men experience. And I wonder whether for women, it’s largely a social / cultural reaction. They (we) are trained to be absolutely devastated and appalled by male infidelity. Think of any sitcom, romcom, tv show. The woman typically becomes hysterical and questions and rips up the entire relationship when faced with an unfaithful man.
I do think there is “some” natural jealousy, of course. But it seems like it would be a much more low-key social kind of jealousy. Maybe the same feeling you would get if your best friend went on a vacation without inviting you. Or if all your friends went to a party and you weren’t there. Like a low level fomo type situation.
Whereas for men, it’s an extremely intense feeling of loss/death/end. Even just logically it would make sense that men would have an entirely different reaction - and I don’t think many women truly understand this.
Caveats - before you make any personal attacks on me. 1) this is NOT a statement about how things “should” be in modern society today. It is NOT saying that men are “allowed” to do whatever they want. It’s simply an observation. 2) for the purpose of this argument, let’s remove the element of deceit/lies etc. let’s assume that both parties know exactly what is happening. If your answer is “but it’s still hurtful because my partner lied to me” then yes that’s a valid argument. ie the breakdown of trust. But let’s just assume that there are no lies etc. everything is out in the open.
TLDR: the inclination for women to demand sexual exclusivity is probably just petty jealousy / low level fomo, that is then accentuated and exaggerated by culture and media. For men, it has real life serious and grave genetic implications and is likely hardwired into the male psyche to some degree.

What app/website are you using to watch the Boxing? ... I'm not 100% it's basically a live stream of the Boxing. I pirate everything: games, movies, software, and even made my own plex server.

I pirate everything: games, movies, software, and even made my own plex server. But lately I have gotten really into BOxing and haven't found a great way to watch Boxing 2024 for free live.
I got an TNTSPORTS subscription to watch games this season but what I don't know is if they broadcast Fury vs. Usyk games and/or the Stanley Cup game or if those are locked in to cable or a specific streaming service. I want to be able to at least watch some if I can't watch all but wanna be prepared of where I need to tune into.
I don't care if there is a small delay or anything, but it needs to be at a good bitrate at 1080p or it isn't worth watch for me. Also preferably I would want a way to watch it on a smart TV in some way but im expecting to sacrifice that luxury honestly.
Key: ver Boxing en vivo online, Boxing En direct Streaming, Boxing in diretta streaming gratis or gratuit regarder...
TNTSPORTS, ABC or Boxing Network. I'm sure you can stream as well as way to watch it but I want to see what you guys recommend.
I apologize in advance if this is a silly question. I'm definitely new to the sport and this will be the first Fury vs Jaime I get to watch (yay!)

I got an TNTSPORTS subscription to watch games this season but what I don't know is if they broadcast Fury vs. Usyk games and/or the Stanley Cup game or if those are locked in to cable or a specific streaming service. I want to be able to at least watch some if I can't watch all but wanna be prepared of where I need to tune into.
I don't care if there is a small delay or anything, but it needs to be at a good bitrate at 1080p or it isn't worth watch for me. Also preferably I would want a way to watch it on a smart TV in some way but im expecting to sacrifice that luxury honestly.
