I don't think it's a personality change, at least insofar as personality is separate from neurochemistry. Ghrelin and dopamine are strongly linked, and dopamine is our central reward-seeking driver; GLP-1s generally reduce ghrelin

Standard LoRA (W_delta = B@A with standard inits) generally underperforms FT, primarily because of "intruder dimensions" (new high-ranking singular vectors which misalign with the singular vectors of the underlying weights) as out

I'm not a doctor, but I am passionate about this stuff in my own life. tl;dr: Exercise, sleep, and diet. Plus a zillion different supplements and medicines as adjuncts to a healthy lifestyle. First, consider what inflammation is . It&

Acetaminophen doesn't deteriorate the stomach lining like NSAIDs, but it also isn't anti-inflammatory. It's an analgesic and antipyretic.

FWIW, I replaced my Nests with Centralite Pearls a few years ago, and have been extremely happy with them WRT Home Assistant. The Pearl doesn't seem to be widely available anymore, but any Zwave or Zigbee thermostat + a local hub gets

Same boat here. I'm 6'10", 260, and athletic. I'm very acutely aware of the shrinking space available on aircraft, and there's precious little that I can do about it. I typically just get an aisle seat and raise the

This would end up having effects like causing employers to discourage their employees from drinking coffee or exercising, both of which acutely raise cortisol levels.

They also breed extraordinarily quickly. Females are capable of reproducing at only 3 months old, are fertile year round, have a gestation period of only 115 days, and produce litters of 4-6 per pregnancy. Even with control efforts, populat

That's true of semaglutide, but newer peptides like tirzepatide (a dual-agonist) and retatrutide (a triple agonist) have additional effects like improving insulin sensitivity, and simultaneously slowing the release of glucagon and acti

Well, if you can convince my wife of that, you're more than welcome to try. I just crossed 100k miles on my Model 3 and I think I'm on my 5th set of tires.

It's a combination of the weight of the vehicle and the torque that the electric motors produce.

Tailwind solves a somewhat different problem. It's maybe easiest to think of it as a bunch of aliases for writing inline styles . The fundamental problem with CSS at scale is leaky abstractions, right? Tailwind moves the abstractions

@apply in CSS modules to compose the above sort of thing into something more semantic and readable without creating a bunch of global artifacts is definitely the way to go, IMO.

I've been writing CSS by hand since the late 90s. I resisted Tailwind for a long time, but I tried it on a pet project and I get it now. It doesn't fundamentally do anything that you can't do in CSS already, but it sort of &q

And it still requires assembly, is sensitive to tolerances, and is functionally a plastic zip gun - an inferior variant of what you could easily produce with nothing more than a trip to your local hardware store. A better comparison is the

"Creating a weapon is as easy as loading a print file in your print queue" Well that's just flat-out false. You can print things like frames, receivers, and misc hardware, but you still need machined metal components for part

If you like the genre, the 2019 game "Control" treads in SCP space. It's great fun.

Giving a tool which is specifically good at finding relationships - no matter how strained or tenuous - between arbitrary concepts to paranoid schizophrenics seems like you might as well be lighting the fuse on an unstable bomb.

It shouldn't be much of a surprise that a model whose central feature is "finding high-dimensional associations" would be able to identify and semantically group - even at multiple degrees of separatation - behaviors that are

We've been there since the release of the Steam deck. Really, the only things I can't run on my Linux machine are the games that intentionally break the game with anticheat mechanisms. And it's not all anticheat - there are p

If you have genuine reliable alpha, leverage exists. But you'd better make damn sure your edge is as good as you think it is.

Right, and I think that in this case the person making the original statement was probably erroneously using "ChatGPT" to mean "LLM" (in the same way that "Kleenex" is used to mean a disposable tissue). It&#x27

It's been a long time since I've played WoW, but I don't really understand how permadeath would at all be viable. It's a game that's built around the expectation that the player is going to die, a lot.

I'd imagine you could exploit something like the stochastic denoising approach from DDIM and descendants, where you add some noise back after each denoising step, essentially randomly remasking unmasked tokens and giving the model a se
