This feels a lot like the kind of "enlightened anti-'AI'" opinion that's more in vogue in some circles. I think if you're following the literature, there's a significant amount that's pointing to the

That seems like quite an assumption, friend. I think most people in that category love having people to have intellectual conversations with. I've been in a space with people who are naturally incredibly high IQ, and there's a spe

Narcissism is caused, among other things, and to my best understanding, by the equivalent of an emotional autoimmune disorder to self love. The DSM has many flaws, notably being a categorical tautological discretization of some stateful, hi

I looked into that a while back (and again today) when browsing around the books I could read. I appreciate the ideas covered, though I think I found the self-aggrandization on the part of the author to be somewhat grating, to the point I&#

You could stereotype, if that helps. I think my personal (and admittedly strange) experiences have led me to believe that due to some of the inherent structural aspects of personality, as well as some of the dissociative barriers that come

I think this is how you get highly superficial people with layers that don't make sense stacked on top of each other. I've done this. Don't waste your time. If you'd like to do this in a real way, identify the values in

Absolutely, couldn't agree more. If you want a secret, just find what scaling laws are there and find tunnels to bypass them. There's always a way to the secret garden, you just sometimes have to look long and hard... ;) I started

This feels much like the sentiment in the field about two years ago or so. While I feel like the "alchemy" storyline is still somewhat in play, most of the big important parts of the deep learning process have enough ideological l

I've heard of Ketamine as another non-opioid approach to pain, I don't know how effective it is quite for pain or dental issues. Dental pain is awful. I'm so sorry. I had a hospital-and-hydrocodone-worthy case of oral thrush

I touched on it in my other comment -- I got hung up on its CB1... Agonism, I believe? Which I'd always asserted was strictly inflammatory in addition to maybe any other analgesic side effects. I'll hold it in some level of myster

I agree -- even when the threads here were massively pseudointellectual back in the day, it was a welcome tone shift. Maybe we can hold the line and hope for some change from dang and the crew. Or maybe it'll pass (though I'd rath

That's fair. I wish we had more properly selective COX-2-only inhibitors, despite the scare about heart issues. I may misunderstand how inhibiting COX 1 would balance that out, but I'd be surprised if it does. Many herbs are selec

Gluten, dairy, and corn for me. Turned out to be MCAS. Supposedly more common than people would expect (and yes, it's an actual ICD-10 disorder), but a total bear to diagnose as it's a diagnosis of exclusion and that's very e

How do we as a community feel about some of the tinfoil hatting going on in HN lately? I understand this is a watering hole for folks of all ideals and walks of life, but a comment on a fluff piece about physical symptoms being somehow link

This is literally the purpose of paracetamol. What do you feel it is for, if not as an anti-inflammatory aid? EDIT: Interesting discussion in child comments, certainly news to me!

This, uh, looks like a semi-propaganda website. I also really couldn't find a trace of this conference online, barring maybe a tiny FB page and an automatically generated hand/pen video with _13_ views? Also, this is on a semi-pro

MV2 is memory-limited, the depthwise + groups + 1x1 convs has a long launch time on GPU. Shattered kernels are fine for CPU, but not for GPU. Though per your note on the scales, that's really interesting empirical results. I'll ha

This is on a model designed to run faster on CPUs. It's like dropping a bowling ball on your foot and claiming excitement that you feel bruised after a few days. Maybe there's something interesting there, definitely, but the overh
