don't debug the attention mask value since that is almost always exclusively 1 for all cases.
simplify config by not asking users to update the total_num_tokens and sample_packing_eff_est since that computation has been optimized and the optimization to set that ahead of time can cause headaches

what does this mean? Do you mean the total num steps should be affected by sample efficiency or some other var?

exactly. because if the various processes have different calculations, we choose the max value to find the smallest steps that they all share. It doesn't seem to be a major issue atm, but should get addressed.
