I probably should, but they're so cheap on Amazon anyway. I don't have Amazon Prime.

I wouldn't trust a typical 3D printed one. My one has so many degrees of freedom/rotation - lots of moving parts.

I should check my purchase history, but I probably use Amazon more for buying stuff that they would classify as a "Knockoff", but isn't (i.e. there is no established brand they are knocking off). Because for legitimate brands

Regular dose shouldn't cause much drowsiness in most people. I take it all the time when flying (even double dose sometimes). I once took a double dose of regular dramamine and I was out within 30 minutes. I just checked - Dramamine ac

Not the person you're responding to, but I've spent almost 2 decades outside the US. Sorry, his perspective matches my experience much more than yours.

I blame doctors and nurses. At least the ones I personally know tell patients "Advil" and "Tylenol" and never mention ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Actually, it's true for pretty much all OTC medications - they just u

I'm glad you're happy with it, and perhaps Immich will continue to remain secure. 3 years is comforting. I will note that the last solution I used was fine for over a decade before it broke (and eventually the project died). For m

Are you saying there are never backward incompatible changes? Are you saying there's no need to back up the underlying DB? Are you saying I can keep an insurance running for, say, three years and it'll be trivial to upgrade after

Lessons from using self hosted image services years ago: - Upgrade breaks things. Need to restore from DB, install previous version, etc. - Need to update frequently (i.e. if I wait 2 years, the upgrade script doesn't work). - Discover

I think this is much more useful than just LLM related applications. I'd suggest renaming it to not make it seem like it's LLM related.

I'll second the suggestion to use a good LLM. I haven't tried it with analysis, but I did for linear algebra. It would quickly spot flaws in my proof.
