I'll add another suggestion: be more forgiving. Anecdote: I had a friend in SF. He and I would hang out once in a while, and I always looked forward to these hangouts (we'd meet up for coffee, or go for a walk, hang out at Dolores

In the past, whenever I felt lonely and hopeless, I jumped into helping others: volunteering, helping an old neighbor garden, help someone move, etc. Helping people gave me a short-term purpose, which eventually let me ride out the low phas

I do not, unfortunately. It's just something I heard; though it would explain why ICE is going after law-abiding immigrants instead of criminals as originally intended.

Now that you mention it, it may have been NPH. The thing is, I did the chatting with ChatGPT and handed the printout to the doc. Biology was never my strong suit, so my eyes glaze over when I see words like "Hydrocephalus" :-D

The first was "dementia" (or something related to it, I don't remember the exact medical term). The second was something to do with fluid in some spinal column (I am sorry once again, I do not remember the medical term; they

It's a question of incentives. From what I've heard: ICE agents are incentivized to the tune of $5000 for every immigrant deported. So they go after the low-hanging fruits: the immigrants coming in for their periodic immigration c

My uncle had an issue with his balance and slurred speech. Doctors claimed dementia and sent him home. It kept becoming worse and worse. Then one day I entered the symptoms in ChatGPT (or was it Gemini?) and asked it for the top 3 hypothese

Why not run an experiment like this post: take a probiotic capsule, put its contents in a growing medium; after a day or two, sample from the medium and send it in for testing, and see which strains actually grew?

When I was an instructor for courses like "Intro to Programming", this was definitely the case. The students ranged from "have never programmed before" to "I've been writing games in my spare time", but be

I remember when I first experienced golang, I tried compiling it. The compilation command returned immediately, and I thought it had failed. So I tried again and same result. WTF? I thought to myself. Till I did an `ls` and saw an `a.out` s

I don't understand why they don't allow different domains. "gmail.com" is running low on email addresses; if they added more domains, they'd be able to really scale up their email offering.

You are describing Searle's "Chinese Room argument"[1] to some extent. It's been discussed a lot recently, but anyone who has interacted with LLMs at a deeper level will tell you that there is something there; not sure

It's funny how they don't compare themselves to Gemini and Claude anymore.

Ask Gemini to summarize it? Or maybe NotebookLM to turn it into a 10-minute podcast? :-)

These are just excuses to convince yourself that what the US is doing is "not bad" but what India is doing is "terrible". Both are doing similar things. You have no idea what the US is doing; I have some inkling, and it

Zohran reminds me so much of the former District Attorney of San Francisco, Chesa Boudin. Chesa also had pedigree like Zohran does (in his case, both parents in prison for terrorism charges, raised by lefties). Inevitably, people saw throug
