Viagra increases the effect of nitric oxide, which is bad stuff when it gets into cytochrome complex iv in the mitochondria (IIRC). I would personally suspect based on that, that its effects on brain health would be negative in spite of blo

And I say in turn, it's a skill issue if your "website" or "app" could be made by a GPT in a few minutes. Is what you're doing actually valuable, then? It consistently fails to solve my problems.

While I can appreciate reasoning about AGI as a purely abstract thing (I loved Nick Bostrom's book, Superintelligence), it seems out-of-touch to believe it's at all likely to happen. Do these people even use GPT-4? Do they connect

I wonder if internet access and instant-entry is /necessarily/ a distraction or impediment to deep thought, or it could be stomached to the effect of great productivity with an especially sharpened mind. It saddens me that the mos

Counterpoint: Try munching on some pure cane sugar. Observe that it is not very addictive at all.

Added sugar is not necessarily problematic, but consumption of anti-thyroid substances like high amounts of PUFA (especially seed oils), chlorine, bromine, fluoride (in absence of iodine) can make it so, by way of increasing energy supply w

This was the message I got with alcohol. Over a glass of wine, hey, don't drink, like ever. For what it's worth, I followed the advice.

I think it's just poor value for money and time. One should focus instead on ways of eliminating the brain energetics disorder to obtain true freedom. It's like being sober versus being attached at the hip to Narcotics Anonymous.

You are aware RLHF tends to make models dumber, though, right?

It makes sense given that systems programming is more in the realm of cathedrals like Universities, whose whole M.O. to begin with is having you do free work, underpaid work, or even pay to do work

Seeing as I cannot control all the software I have on my computers, I just gave up. Everything in $HOME that I care about is in ~/my. $HOME itself is anarchic, and that's okay with me. I have better things to do than micromanage t

I am personally skeptical of the role of omega-3 and omega-6 in dementia, at least, one should never take these as supplements. It is a medical fact that they are highly unstable and basically worthless after only a day or so on the shelf,

My unprofessional opinion is that these are both explained by a third variable, excessive consumption of carbohydrates, starches especially. (It also explains the correlation between poor dental health and dementia). Myopia is known to be p

All my notes are in an `sshfs` mount -- it's fast enough for plaintext. The latency does suck though to be honest.

I've personally been enjoying this sane, profit-free system so much I'm going to be adding RSS feeds and email to it.

You should know that you can just RSS to these open access journals! I personally dread reading technical news, so this provides a way to cut through some of that.

It's convenient that the "sparks of AGI" were only available in Microsoft's private version of GPT-4, which we cannot verify independently.

I think you vastly overestimate how technical the average ChatGPT user is.

This is a commercial. Treat it as such.
