butlike··on Study estimates 75% of NFL players who died over 15-year span had CTE
Not the OP but I don't think you can. The issue is you're stopping a moving object with your body. That is always going to cause damage. I think the armor itself also promotes big hits. I truly think that's the reason Rugby is a safer game; the hits are more painful, and you're not hitting each other with a carbon fiber helmet.

The best part about heroin is your brain can recover from it. CTE not so much.

> can I look back into my soul and say that I tried hard enough?

Imagine, if you will a large endless expanse. Clear skies above, but as you look to the floor you realize it's made of people. Compacted like tetris pieces, as far as the eye can see. You're standing there, presumably atop some people right then and there. What do you do? Do you walk forward? You'll step on the bodies; the people. Do you stand still? Won't that invalidate your life? Aren't you allowed to live?

Making that decision is trying hard enough. We all had to do it, and luckily, we did it at an age we can no longer remember; right when we were born. We decided to venture forth and try. You tried hard enough because you tried, period. That is enough.

As an only child being the "last of my bloodline" has given me a great deal of anxiety. Evidently out of ignorance. Where can I learn about lineage being more of a web than a line?

Oh ok. I thought that was the number they were ahead by. So if I was down 8 to 14, I'd have to gerrymander 7 district wins to beat the cow. It makes sense they were the count of the dots.
butlike··on elect.horse
I honestly don't get today's expert puzzle. When you start, horse is at 8, donkey is at 10, and cow is at 14. I get two districts for horse, which the puzzle then states "horse wins," but wouldn't the final standing then be

horse: 10, donkey: 10, cow: 14

So cow still wins? Why did it say horse wins on the "See results" screen?

butlike··on She Worried About Cutting Her Medication Dose. ChatGPT Told Her to Push On
> In an interview, Dr. Poolos said he would not even have entertained the idea of tapering for a patient like Bowen, given her history. “No, not rational, no way,” he said. “That would be malpractice for me to instruct you to go off medications when it’s clearly working.”

I'm a little conflicted. What is she supposed to do? She's saying the side effects are intolerable, but at the same time, this doctor is corroborating her fears that she won't be listened to. I imagine the correct answer would be prescribe an additional medication for the side effects, but it's hard to say she's wrong when she's right.

I'm not entirely convinced the new models aren't just a rollback to a clean training data state after the current model has been released for a while.

Untrue. Insta stories were pervasive.

The gameplay _becomes_ the ad. If you have a full sash of potions in every slot, they spell "C","O","K","E". The monster-bashing sounds sound like onomatopoetic "Apple!" "Goog!". The armor colors are the same as the NFL teams nearest your locale!

It will be a nightmare! haha

I have a question/thought/philosophy. If AES is a relatively strong encryption method right now, _why don't we wait to crack the assets until the encryption method is easy to decrypt_? By the time that's possible, the game assets will likely be old as shit, so it would potentially sit better with everyone. If we wait, it takes on a more archival type feeling.

> the second guy can train their model by using the first model to generate the training data

Isn't this somewhat akin to a model learning from its own inputs? Doesn't that behavior lead to model collapse? Either the model is trained on pristine data, in which case it stagnates, or it's distilled from another model, which leads to model collapse.

The substantiation is sunsetting a popular browser because you bought into AI hype. Hence, tool.
