I’m at two as well. Finasteride for hair, and vitamin D because my doctor recommended it.

I had thought the vitamin D pill was actually kinda useless when i first started taking it. I was fine before i started taking the pill, right? Due to me being lazy and prescription address changes lagging behind a move, I ended up skipping out on that pill for two months. Turns out, vitamin D is like, a minor anti depressant or some shit because I was exhausted all the time near the end there before I started retaking the pill.

Fun fact! This abbreviation is so widespread that even government forms use it! They very specifically added the -ez suffix to show that this version is less of a pain in the ass to fill out compared to the old one.

In a GitHub ticket viewed by WIRED, Lavingia also suggested abandoning Drupal, a content management system (CMS) that the VA uses for publishing updates and information about the agency and the services it provides on VA facility websites. “I think we should consider removing Drupal as part of our workflow, and all content should just live in the codebase,” he wrote.

Sources say that the regular office administrators and health workers staffed at VA locations around the country are often the ones responsible for making sure that the content about their facilities are clear and up to date on their VA webpages. Instead of being able to log in to the CMS and update the appropriate text or pages, Lavingia’s suggestion would mean they’d need to go into the actual code of the website to make simple changes. Any mistakes could break the sites, and one source worried that such a technical task would be too big of an ask for nontechnical VA staffers.

Man they just keep trying to fuck shit up, don’t they?

The second half of the article talks about how the apps get around this permission requirement.

they need an anti-bullshit step that doesn’t currently exist.

This will never exist in a complete form. Wikipedia doesn’t have this solved; randomly generated heuristics will certainly never have it either.

I think it’s iphone stage. We’ve had predictive text in some form or other for a long time now. But that’s just LLMs. Can’t speak for the image/video generators, but I expect those will become another tool in the box that gets better but does the same thing.

I just can’t see a whole lot of improvement in these products making any changes top how we use them already.

I had a friend who got corrective surgery and their eyesight got wrecked afterwards. I had several friends who got surgery and had no issues.

I depend on my eyes entirely too much to ever consider risking it, and contacts squick me out too much for me to use them. So I’ll settle for the hassle of glasses over the drawbacks of the others.

These lenses in the article in particular still aren’t for sale, despite the article being ten years old now. They do have a lot of ai-hype articles about them though.

OP mentioned a print farm situation. Repairability and uptime is a much bigger deal in that sort of situation. Having a quick, available fix is more important than hoping that your 24/7 printer never wears out or breaks.

what it believed

That’s not how LLMs work. Stop ascribing intent to things which do not have it.

That’s the kitty getting overwhelmed. Move your arm out the way for a bit to let him calm down.

This doesn’t work if your cat is just feeling playful or energetic.
