iamacyborg··on Creatine uptake enhances antitumor immunity
No comment on the joint thing.

As far as tendons are concerned, they require proactive rehab and you have to load them. There are various loading strategies that a physio is best placed to advise on. Shockwave therapy has also been found to help.

Some pain during tendon loading during rehab is generally expected and not necessarily a negative sign, somewhere around a 4/10 at most.

Recovery is slow in the order of months, not weeks.

There is some evidence that taking a collagen peptide based protein along with vitamin c an hour before loading the tendon can help.

I take creatine daily, have done for well over a year. I also run 5-6 days a week and lift twice a week.

I’ve previously stopped taking it for a couple months and noticed no real difference in physical or mental ability.

Fine in theory but determined scrapers will use residential proxies in bulk.

I’m not sure the misogyny is warranted.
iamacyborg··on There's a new "Google Jail" for independent wikis
The poe2wiki issue is a little different to what is documented, albeit only for the last few months, previously we certainly had visibility issues.

The recent issues relate to site errors due to aggressive crawling of uncached, server-intensive pages (diffs, etc) hidden behind residential proxies. We were being hit sufficiently hard that the server had stability issues and we were penalised by Google.

Tons of ads.

This is great for users, but it’s terrible for the SEO of those independent wikis as you’re telling Google you want to click on Fandom and Fextra links.

/edit

It appears this is no longer the case and the extension does things a lot better than it used to!

iamacyborg··on The turbulent AI era is here
The reason Reddit gave for blocking access to non-logged in users is that it's being used for AI scraping.

> Old Reddit’s logged-out experience is a significant source of abusive scraping and automated traffic on the platform.

iamacyborg··on Show HN: The load-bearing vocabulary of Claude
I’d love to see something similar that analyses the writing style, not just the vocabulary. For instance, Claude since 4.8 (I think) loves run on tidily wrapped-up sentences that include “, and”, “, because”, etc. I suspect if you were to analyse the same text you’d see that increase substantially as Anthropic rolled out new models as well.

An example, from some workslop I was sent yesterday

"this is the most valuable row we own, because it sets the ceiling on everything we build"

iamacyborg··on The turbulent AI era is here
> It's in part due to scrapers and AI.

It has nothing to do with that, scrapers can still scrape new reddit. This is just a hostile action to move visitors to a site that shows more ads.
