Isn’t hallucinating inherent to biological brains too? It’s normal in small degrees even for mentally healthy individuals.

oh but think of all the “refactoring” you’re missing out on. We have a DevRel engineer specifically working to get technical debt tickets into sprints. So you get to refactor! Oh gee!

Why the downvotes? People are giving wrong and dangerous advice. Yeah, you can say “well just don’t take it if it’s not prescribed.” But don’t bury the truth. If you don’t have ED and you take it, the GP is wrong.

I recommend a hybrid approach. Till a new yard. It probably has chunks of concrete and other garbage from previous owners. It’s worth taking the garbage out of the ground. Then smother the whole yard with cardboard. Then layer wood chips

What would be an appropriate test? - Given 2 word embedding sets, - For each pair (A,B) of embeddings in one set, - There exists an equivalence (A’,B’) in the other set, - Such that dist(A,B) ≈ dist(A’, B’), Something like that, to start.

Maybe she’s attractive because she meets a very median set of attractiveness characteristics. I.e. maybe being hot is actually less about being unique and more anout being consistent. Maybe sultry female voices only have so much variety. I
