I'd rather have ChatGPT than a severely overworked/underpaid therapist, but I'd rather have a friend's shoulder to cry on than ChatGPT. But I'd also rather have a smart, empathic therapist I click with than overshar

my partner managed to save up over a period of a year until their car died, and had to spend all their savings buying a used one (the most they could afford) which will probably not last long. they also spend a majority of their income payi

I wonder though.. could you emulate a 20k-core VM with 100 terabytes of RAM on a DC? Ethernet is fast, you might be able to get in range of DRAM access with an RDMA setup. cache coherency would require some kind of crazy locking, but mayb

to me the line between machine and cluster is mostly about real-time and fate-sharing. multiple cores on a single machine can expect memory accesses to succeed, caches to be coherent, interrupts to trigger within a deadline, clocks not to s

If you have a family history of psychosis, it can trigger schizophrenia or bipolar. If you're not predisposed to psychosis, can it really do anything besides give you a bad trip? Bad trips are traumatizing and may take a while to work

I'm not sure why it can't go check. I've tried to play with prompts like "if you're not sure, respond with a Google search query instead, and I'll paste the top result." it feels like these language models

I don't have any family history of psychosis, but I'll definitely watch out for it. My plan for things going wrong was to take a benzo, use a weighted blanket and have soothing music until it kicks in. Possibly also something like

I'm not sure if you read my post, but I lost the weight I gained and got back to a BMI of 22 just by going off of the med I was on. The med caused cravings and lack of satiety. Going off the med reversed the cravings. This demonstrates

most of my life it was effortless for me to stay skinny - it actually took effort not to be underweight. then I started a medication. initially my BMI was 22 but it shot up to 28. I developed a terrible sweet tooth and binged on carbs, insa

oh, of course. I've been waiting precisely because I'm afraid to tangle with psychedelics solo, and want to hold out for a really good therapist to guide me.

I'm really looking forward to psychedelic therapy. I have a very rare kind of body image dysmorphia/dysphoria. Traditional therapy, SSRIs, etc. have been useless at treating it. I'm scared of psychedelics, having had scary ba

thanks for the explanation. I'm really curious though, how do we know this is unique to the mRNA vaccines, or covid vaccines in general? could infection with SARS-CoV-2 in unvaccinated people also lead to IgG4 production? Like, the mRN

neo-nazi is a bit over the top. there are actual neo-nazis.. the American Nazi Party, the Azov battalion (formerly), skinheads and things. sure, China's trying to force Han ethnic principles on their populace. arguably nationalist, tho

relative to Russia, yeah? China isn't like, literally invading them. China could get ByteDance to pass location data to Russia, but it doesn't seem like China really wants to get in the middle of the war.

there's valid reasons to have different code points with the same character though. like Russian с and Latin c look identical to me, but fonts might have ligatures or kerning rules that apply to one but not the other.

tianeptine isn't FDA-approved. and though tianeptine is structurally a TCA, and is prescribed abroad as an antidepressant, it doesn't hit serotonin receptors. it's like calling tramadol an antidepressant - actually, tramadol

I don't understand how these pills end up in gas stations. they're not legal! legal to buy, sure, because they don't contain scheduled drugs (and tianeptine isn't an analog of a scheduled opioid), but you can't sell
