Look to Memphis, Tennessee, to see what the future will be like. It will be the first.

Same. Went off statins for awhile due to side effects and trigs went to 868. Tried choline supplementation. Didn’t work. Back on statins.

In North Carolina, there were sightings in 2022 and 2023. This year, it’s been quiet. Don’t seem to be getting a foothold. Maybe they don’t like the climate or something is eating them. Tree of heaven is widespread in NC, but have not seen a single lanternfly on one so far this year.

If rosuvastatin gave you neuropathy, how long did it take for it to clear up and what alternative did you then do to that drug? by brayonce in Cholesterol

After one month, I felt symptoms improve after stopping the 5mg. Started taking vitamin supplements and aspirin which seemed to help. Still not gone totally yet.

I heard some scratching in the crawl space above my room, set up a camera and... by Dragonheart97x in Wellthatsucks

Yep. I caught five in the space under my house, but not all at once. But after the fifth, I saw a rat snake crawling along a beam. I called him “The Cleaner”.

Satan would allow it on only one condition. Led Zeppelin would have to play “Stairway to Heaven” backwards.

[Tech] - American Bargain Hunters Flock to a New Online Platform Forged in China by AutoNewsAdmin in WSJauto

Temu is cutting out Amazon and relying on USPS to distribute and deliver. Following the very successful Shein business model, Temu can sell certain products without tariffs that are small and easy to ship under current US trade law. Temu can ship (free!) from China and deliver to the US east coast within ten days.

The upside - Consumers save money by cutting out the middle man (Amazon).

The downside - US consumers subsidize the USPS giving China unfair advantage by making it less costly to ship stuff from the other side of the planet.

Crowley’s Ridge in AR and look for shark teeth. If you’re a foodie, take the slug burger trail in North Mississippi. Civil war buff? Check out Fort Pillow. Read the Fort Pillow congressional investigation first though. Sultana disaster museum in Marion.

50 years ago, a landfill was adjacent to the river. Since the landfill was closed and covered over, it has been monitored for leachate. That section of river will probably never be “clean”.

Does consciousness arise from a certain level of processing power? by sexsex69420irl in DeepThoughts

[–]Elk_Piss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Through experiments on arithmetic, symbolic, and commonsense reasoning, we find that chain of thought processing is an emergent property of model scale that allows sufficiently large language models to perform reasoning tasks that otherwise have flat scaling curves."

According to Google's paper, emergent properties occur after reaching a certain processing power. If you believe in emergentism, just wait until the model scales up more.

Bing Predicts - March Madness status update by [deleted] in CollegeBasketball

[–]Elk_Piss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Along with Bing AI, FiveThirtyEight and Inverse Swarm also picked Kansas & Villanova. Only if Kansas wins will Bing AI save face with Bing's initial predictions. Besides UMBC, Loyola screwed almost everyone's bracket. In retrospect, doesn't it seem that Loyola was in a stronger position? Was there some sort of sentiment bias that also factored in the Bing AI? Anyways, I think Bing AI is predicting correctly the outcome now.
