This is a Rorschach test of course. Taking the bait, it’s interesting to compare my Reddit and HN accounts pre-transition with my Reddit account post-transition. The former two have eerily similar predictions of escapism, shyness, and knowl

when you have a diagnosis, then what? where do you actually go from there? are there doors that an ADHD diagnosis opens that have a better ROI than, say, graymarket modafinil?

Does the user have to specify the "schema" (each unique log message type) manually? or is it learned automatically (a la gzip and friends)? I wasn't able to discover this from a cursory readthrough of the paper...

See that's the thing! You're looking for the furry (and especially trans) / queer communities, especially the Freedom of Form Foundation or the "digital self-identity" simulacra folks. All of these communities are g

a lot of document key/value databases that store arbitrary JSON tend to work this way (for example Cassandra does this, IIRC). some will even automatically build indices for you (though hand-tuning is usually better)

It's common folk knowledge in my trans community that HRT often stops or in some cases partially reverse hair loss. See [1] for a case study, for example. Testosterone is correlated with hair loss and I could see how increasing T would

Back in the day ('70s and '80s i think), trans women used to take synthetic estrogens (such as premarin, IIRC was the drug of choice) before switching to bioidentical estrogen from estradiol tablets in the '90s and '00s,

Another important point is that trans women typically start on an antiandrogen as well as an estradiol supplement. Testosterone's effects are orders of mag stronger than estrogen, so trans women typically have to take drastic measure

Lossily compress the point cloud then, come on. For thin two-sided objects like laptops, rasterize the depth map of each side. You might be interested in how biometric hashes for things like fingerprints or irises work, since these have the
