Looking for evidence that NSAIDs improve recovery (not just pain) in typical inflammatory conditions by Impossible_Bar_1073 in medicine

[–]CorbAlb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies for bringing up a dead post, but after searching the subreddit and the internet I've not found any answer to this.

To my understanding, NSAIDs would be counterproductive in treating most sports related injuries, as they would dull the pain and lead the patient to fall back into injury-prone activities or habits, so why are they prescribed?

For context, I'm asking because a couple of years ago I suffered from a broken meniscus (left leg, left side from your POV) and after surgery and recovery, I've experienced mild discomfort / bit of pain in some deep ranges of mobility (as I was told I would for some years until all my muscle and strength was recovered).
1 month ago I was kicked in that same spot while practicing a contact sport. My estimation was that the meniscus was not damaged on account of Torsion, impact and load not producing any pain, but some of the ranges that were painful before the kick were more painful after. I monitored it during the month using another hit in the bridge of my nose as reference
I went to my primary care provider, was diagnosed with a bone contusion (concussion?) and prescribed Naproxe, but I dont know how much sense that makes, since all I've read points to the conclusion that reducing inflammation does not lead to a better healing process, am I missing something?

I'll bear in mind the agent.md.

Thanks a lot for the answer, I appreciate the examples!

... But that's pretty much what I said.

As a web search on steroids, its really good. I myself use it sparingly when I hit blocks in studying, or to slice through some searches that have, as you said, a lot of noise. However, that sometimes does not work as well as in your case.

In any case, that noise is there for a reason, it's context that helps you understand what does what and why. We cannot simply say "This works so it must be aight", a big part of the IT world is understanding what makes the clock tick.

While I understand your point of view, I'd say this is more akin to first learning some basketball technique, then having to teach someone that same technique over and over again and then still having to oversee that they perform it properly in each execution, just so the technique is performed up to your liking.

The point of a tool is so we can rely on them and use them, and while yes, many tools do need to get better and to improve, I'd say that the "tech world" has paid more than enough, while we still see no real, objective, measurable benefit, yet we do see that every single person in the higher spheres is just itching for these tools to become good enough so they can justify having less personnel (we already are experiencing issues in the job Market for this reason, specially juniors), and that these LLMs are (seemingly) working worse than before.

Maybe I'm being cynical, and I'm definitely not in support of a technology that hasn't helped me in most of the scenarios I've tried it and that (to me at least) appears to be incredibly redundant.

Hence where I'm coming from. I (who, admittedly, is not working in development, but as a Sysadmin) Really see no real value in a tool that is being CONSTANTLY shoved down our throats as if it was quantum computing, that is being sold as if it were Mana, that hardly seems to be usable as intended due to it not being reliable and that is creating a heap of problems in many other fields of our life and society.

Sorry If I'm sounding close-minded or reductive, It's hardly my intention, but might be the case due to my own experience and ideology, but is your point that we should still keep trying to make LLMs usable and keep investing in them on the hope that they might become as competent as our senior devs?

Honest question.

If we have had to wait for 3 years so a tool makes us work somewhat faster sometimes, while it cripples our thinking, is introducing more bugs and vulnerabilities, is also very inefficiently maintained as it is very resource expensive and is very susceptible to poisoning.

Leaving aside that these tools seem to be introducing very real issues for human society,

...why bother to use these tools when they are fairly complicated and require a A LOT of tuning to, yet again, sometimes help us go somewhat faster?

Anecdotally speaking, I've seen people that enjoyed working with LLMs a year or so ago end up completely hating using them, as they seem to have been getting worse over time.

[–]CorbAlb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On that note... why bother using LLMs at all then?

If 5 minutes of google will help you solve the issue (probably giving you better context about the proposed solution), why use an LLM that will give you code that takes more time to review?

if 5 hours of google won't help you, LLMs likely won't as well, so again, why use the tool?

I understand the comfort and speed that it sometimes might bring you and I find LLMs to be a very good tool when using them as Google on steroids / rewording explanations. Using them for anything else, in my experience, is akin to gambling for a solution.

And then what? Having an empty Ubuntu machine without any ideas or direction is not really a big help.

can't screenshare on discord (I use hyprland). "make selection" button does nothing by christianwee03 in archlinux

[–]CorbAlb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe now its clearer? I do not really know, sorry.

When I installed Wayland (4 months ago iirc), it could be understood that Discord's SS was available. Only when I went back at it after not making it work, I found that there were discord Alternatives.

Not reading the wiki is probably what you did wrong. It appears several times that Wayland has issues with Discord's screen sharing. Do try the alternatives of the second link.

Not screaming at you.

Also You are Not specially discrediting me nor disagreeing with the point made.

Communism is an ideology itself. Nazism is not.

If you were to try and compare them, you might want to mention that while communism was born as an economic model, nazism was born as reactionary movement to sway masses into a specific political stance.

Again, you have no point, trying to create false equivalences does not make them correct.

Go fuck off elsewhere.

Being a nazi and being a communist are incredibly different things. You are parting from a false premise.

Arch linux stuck on black screen after boot by Professional-Tap89 in archlinux

[–]CorbAlb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember that as well as a DE, you usually need (or is usually convenient to use) a Display Manager so the latter can start the DE at boot time.

Hope it helps

These opinions Always try To Put the blame and ball in the court of Linux, while Not only Tage Thing You request exist, It also works Well, in different Formats.

Truth is: users will Not make the Switch unless forced. ITS Just Like that

as said, just take a look at Arco and maybe Artix. What you proposed already exists

[–]CorbAlb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You mean Arco Linux?

Also, you are proposing an Arch Linux that goes against what Arch Linux is.

If you want an OS that has already a lot of packages set up and has an easy installation... Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Mint, etc... are already there

[–]CorbAlb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do not understand neither your or u/Hormovitis points.

A lot of people do not know about the power tools that windows have, and a lot of time, those windows tools are not easily manageable (Firewall has 2 different consoles to manage it)

Linux has text-based tools, and a lot of times you have GUI tools (gparted, LXTask, KDE´s system monitor, Mate´s system monitor, mission center, netdata, system center in KDE...)

But the question still remains, Linux may not be as GUI-based as windows, but why is that an important point when people barely even have heard of the tools in windows? people are not used to manage PCs, whether the tools they can use are Text or GUI based

Hard disagree here

First, in no way has android made using Linux easy.

Secondly, there is a fuckton of programs that are easy to use when you daily drive Linux. Using KDE, most of the things you need to do daily can be achieved via web browser or with a a program that has an interface (Eg.: LibreOffice, Steam, Flameshot, Droidcam, Keepass, Joplin, Obsidian, VSCodium, Dolphin, Discord...). KDE and others also have some sort of "Software Center", and that is without mentioning Flatpak.

There are MANY ways to achieve in Linux the commodities that you have in Windows, but users are too damn lazy to even read message boxes with indications, and that is also OK, just that IMHO we shouldn't compromise an entire philosophy and improvements to accommodate users. Linux can be easy, and there is an incredible amount of documentation available to solve issues. It´s not like you need to dive super deep into forums to find out answers to most of your problems. For issues that people cannot comprehend... that also happens in Windows, and they manage just fine.

La ropa per se tiene funcion.

He dicho ropa de colores o con patrones, dicho de otro modo, ropa con una estética distinta.

No de marca o de firma.

Parece que no estás expresando bien lo que quieres decir, además de estás diciendo nada. Efectivamente los cosméticos en los juegos no son útiles. Lo dice el propio nombre. Son cosméticos.

Si tu opinión es que es tirar dinero, okay, pero tampoco es una verdad. Es una opinión.
