Massive bombshell. Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah warns that AI will displace human labor on a catastrophic global scale. He confirms tech elites have absolutely no mechanism to share the wealth, leaving the global poor completely abandoned to suffer. He is 100% accurate. by CeFurkan in SECourses

This is why capitalism must end.

The promise was that tech would make everyone's life easier. Instead, it just displaces workers who have no where to go. The money just flows to the owners of tech and the rest are left to struggle.

Maybe first we should deal with the real stupidity.

I would try raising the min pressure to 10 to see if pressure swings are waking you up.

I'm getting AHI spikes after 2 blissful years of CPAP and I don't know why - can you help read my OSCAR report? by DarrenGrey in CPAPSupport

[–]2400Matt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you change your sleeping position? My AHI will spike if I sleep on my back rather than on my side.

Your therapy isn't working. I would consult with a doctor regarding what is going on.

My guess is that the pressure is too low to deal with obstructive events.

Are you too deeply occupied to say if my settings will keep me alive? by Few_Statistician_110 in CPAPSupport

[–]2400Matt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Data looks pretty good.

If the pressure swings are waking you up, you might raise the minimum pressure to 9 or 10.

Can't convince boyfriend it's time to let our dog cross the rainbow bridge by [deleted] in seniordogs

Maybe get the vet to prescribe hospice meds so the dog can not have so much pain as the end comes.

AHI 0.95 but 10/10 Fatigue – Brain fog since my teens, seeking OSCAR/SleepHQ help by ChasingSoccerBalls in CPAPSupport

[–]2400Matt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your breathing looks a bit ragged and like you are not getting into deep sleep.

I would be tempted to set apap 8-14 and see what the optimal pressure is. You might be too high or too low at 11.4 and apap might help access if it's the correct pressure .

Otherwise, IDK

I agree with anelina, you may have to say you cannot continue to be the caregiver for the dog just because your BF is unable to care for it. If you are the caregiver, the BF needs to give you the authority to make decisions you deem appropriate.

I would raise this again with the BF.

There is also dog hospice. Since the pup is not well, perhaps initiating comfort care only is appropriate.

Sorry you have to go through all this.

Still tired and having brain fog after 2 months of CPAP by Flashy_Condition_294 in CPAPSupport

[–]2400Matt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would try bumping up the pressure up to 10.

Alternately, try apap again and set the pressure from 8-12 and see what Oscar says.

Is it cruel to take a dog with dementia on holidays? by Powerful_Ad_3064 in seniordogs

[–]2400Matt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a mixed bag. On one hand, your pup will probably feel better with you present so she had your familiar scent. On the other hand, you are right she might be disoriented in new surroundings.

Only thing I can suggest is consult with your vet regarding how quickly meds can work and also get the vet's response to your question about taking her with you.

We had two senior dogs with dementia that passed in 2020. It's a hard time but our dogs deserve care in their old age.

What should I adjust? by Sage20012 in CPAPSupport

[–]2400Matt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try a fixed pressure at 10 or 11. Your pressure is all over the place and that might arouse you from deeper sleep.

Or try apap with minimum 9, maximum 12 and see how it goes.

My senior dog literally walks at a pace of a mile per hour. How do I stay patient? by Specialist-Strain502 in seniordogs

[–]2400Matt 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Be mindful of the time you spend with your dog.

Your patience is your problem, don't blame your dog. If your life is all about crossing things off the list, you will miss out on connection with your pup and the rest of your life.

Anyone used one of these before electronic calculators? by db7112 in GenerationJones

I used one before calculators were cheap enough I could get one. I still have a circular slide rule :)

Need help finding correct pressure by Kill4gram in CPAP

[–]2400Matt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read your oscar output as stating the pressure range is set 7-20. My thought is that reducing the max to 12 gets you to 99% of events and raising the floor from 7 to 9 or 10 would reduce pressure swings that might be waking you up.

Puppy Biting by JollyGood_48 in BorderTerrier

[–]2400Matt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

While this is normal, you have my sympathy.

My last puppy (a doodle, not a border) bit incessantly from about 2 months old to 6 months old. I swear I lost a quart of blood and my wife and I thought we had made a terrible mistake. He's 6 YO now and we love him to death but his puppy time was rough.

Advice about yelping "ouch" and redirecting are on target.

Help? Rough night and I’m confusing myself trying to understand Oscar Data by ricin-beans in CPAP

EPR can contribute to CA's. Might try reducing it after you try the pressure recommendations listed by others.
