BTW, this is why I use a separate device for 2FA -- specifically a primary and backup YubiKey 5C. The primary is on my keychain, the backup is at home. I always register both.

Swapping phones is no longer a disruption to 2FA.

😆. Particularly for FOSS projects, being able to do synthetic user usability testing across a range of user capabilities is pretty interesting. For many of these applications we're looking to maximize how smart the model is but this is a case where we might not want that

This, interestingly may be a use case for using "dumber" models in the future, even when more capable models exist, serving as a proxy for a lower range of user capability during this sort of synthetic user testing

I've found the CausalSky feed to be useful. That's how I saw your post :D

I learned a new term this year "exercise snacking." Not a replacement for regular workouts but a really good complement.
