I remind you that bloodletting also was the first line treatment back in the day. And it's fair to say that our understanding of the human brain and how most drugs work are very rudimentary. I have heard advice resembling some of point

The letter was quite illuminating (albeit being too long and not focused enough for my taste). I looked up Determinate Systems and it looks like their primary aim is to provide and monetize a bettered nix tied to their FlakeHub platform. In

The problem with losing weight without exercising is that it's not only fat but also muscles that are lost.

If anything the original post looks like the very antithesis of a typical linkedin post which is overboard with enthusiasm and positivity (to the point of being nauseating) and devoid of even a hint of introspection or a reality check. Mayb

Is it the training data that matters? Or the nitty-gritty of how the model is trained? I guess that can't be due to suboptimal architecture...

How do I say no to myself? Or at least how can I be realistic with myself so that I can guard enough time/energy to do what I actually say to myself I will do? One manifestation of that problem is a quickly growing list of "must r
