You dismissed ONE example. I guess you're right on the general case!

If it comforts you to believe that depression always has a discernable cause that can be fixed without medication then go ahead and keep believing that. This particular comment about Churchill and your dismissal of the experience of many de

Were you experiencing side effects that made you want to get off? For the vast majority of people there really are none.

I've heard similar stories. Different people react to the same med differently

Definitely prefer psychologists and therapists over psychiatrists, but don't discount how much something like an SSRI can help

by krupan 2mo ago
SSRI's saved my life with no side effects that I can discern, yet I still have the urge to try and get off of them from time and so do friends and family of mine that also benefit from them. Maybe that urge needs more study because it

There are lots of people depressed for no reason. Look up Winston Churchill and his depression for a public example

There's situational depression (my mom died, my girlfriend dumped me, etc.) and then there's depression. Winston Churchill called his The Black Dog. It is relentless and not related to any situation you are in. If you don'

The bubble is based on the promise that these LLMs will cure cancer and find the solution to global warming. The pragmatic users of these tools (like you seem to be) are enjoying the subsidized use of the tools right now, but it's not

Wow, I didn't realize how much I missed blog posts like this. Is there any way we can get the version of the Internet where people posted like this on their personal blogs back? It's the reason sites like hacker news came to exi

Why are we even committing AI generated code and uploading it to GitHub? I've heard we don't need to read the code anymore. Why preserve a detailed version history if AI has it all handled? Why even share code if we can all jus

In what way are they "broken" when Linux runs fine on millions of boxes? Sure, it might be a pain for proprietary software, but if your app is open source it's not that hard to build it on whichever distro you want. If your

Complete failure is strong words when lots and lots of Linux boxes are running just fine. I think the disconnect is mostly people that can't decide if they want a stable distro or a rolling release distro. Most everyone uses a stable

My best grades were freshman year before I started the engineering program. It would kinda suck to not have those as part of my GPA!

I'm not sure college was ever intended to prepare people for the "real world." College programs start out with "general" education and get more and more focused on a particular area of study the further you go. Col

That was such a stupid coding/code review/testing mistake. Finding it is not that impressive at all. It's nothing like finding a flaw in AES

"it will be" Trying to figure out what to do based on possible future scenarios has a place, but not here when we are talking about a concrete present problem.

I love where this is going. Where does the answer-machine get it's answers in this scenario? How do we double check the answer-machine's answers?

This is so real now that we have LLMs. The stuff I'm working on doesn't seem to exist in LLM training sets, but I still get tempted to try when I get tired of doing the tedious parts.
