I asked, but the clinic that I went to did not offer the option. They cited safety as the reason. e.g. any movement by me could risk intestinal damage.

Presumably they still used a nerve block or some sort of local anasthetic on you. How was the recovery?

If we jack the financial penalties up, it will just screw over the consumers. We need to send people to prison. Bankrupting the company is an interesting strategy, but I think that'd just result in more consolidation.

This is an amazing achievement for someone of any age, but to publish a book with this much research at 18 is phenomenal. I heartily congratulate you.

I've hopped through the book and it seems carefully laid out and organized. I may come back at you with questions once I've read further. Cheers.

One added benefit of knowing how to do this stuff is even when you hire it out, you typically get much better work out of contractors for a better price. If for no other reason than you can more effectively communicate requirements and handle potential surprises/changes (which is guaranteed to happen when renovating)

I think the project is a great idea. Really a structured framework around local, persistent memory with semantic search is the most important bit, IMO. (The SOUL feature already exists for most LLMs in the form of persistent markdown files.)

I also think it'd be a great starting point for building a private pub/sub network of autonomous agents (e.g. a company that doesn't want to exfil its password files via OpenClaw)

The name, however, is a problem. LocalGPT is misleading in 2 ways. 1. It is not Local, it relies on external LLM providers. 2. It is not a Generative Pretrained Transformer.

I'd highly recommend changing the name to something that more accurately portrays the intent and the method.

That whole album is an absolute banger.

I'm on Firefox with ublock origin and it works just fine.

Either way... the site is a store.. of sorts... for Greenday's "Dookie" album, where the songs are mixed down into various bizarre formats. They said de-mastered, and I was hoping that they were actually releasing the individual tracks. Sad.

Yeah, but how much did that actually change? I mean, the media sensationalized every little thing that happened, to make people feel as if the world was ending (or being saved, depending on the news outlet). However, Corporations still ran the country through their bought-and-paid-for U.S. and state representatives, just as in administrations before and after.

>Why do so few researchers study them?

Because they're the ones funding medical research! nyuk nyuk!

Seriously though, as a health nut who tries to stay on the science side of things, I still see a lot of "It's Parasites!" stuff from the pseudo-science health community. As well as bizarre cures. Walnuts, Cloves and electric shock seem to come up the most.

I have tried to find any practical advice regarding detection, symptoms and such, and beyond tapeworms, heartworms and hookworms, there isn't much information.

In other news, guns don't kill people. People do. etc etc.

I'm curious what the motivation was for linking this now. This repo hasn't been updated in two years. Meanwhile, there are at least five other Rust MPMC queues in use that have been recently updated.

Is there something unique about its algorithm? I'm afraid the repo is low on documentation.

> Anyone got any other experiences with things that cause brain fog?

Allergies and Food sensitivities.

These are often incredibly hard to diagnose because there are foods that we eat so commonly, we don't have a good control/variable separation for experimentation. In addition, allergies and food sensitivities don't develop all at once. They increase over time. This makes discovery even more difficult.

But it's almost always this.

As for myself, I had severe brain fog and fatigue. It turns out I was allergic to coffee. Looking back, I now see that it was something that became more and more severe over about 10 years.

It took me quitting coffee for several weeks for an unrelated reason to discover that it was the problem. When I started again, the stark difference in how I was felt made it much easier to diagnose. I got lucky really.
