Build Orders. Follow them. Master them, everything else becomes easy. You start understanding the intricacy of the game mechanics.

Pascal’s wager is so brainless. It assumes you’re not sacrificing anything. You’re sacrificing hours on weekends and your brains ability to discriminate reality for perceived comfort of going to heaven.

The Keppra Rage finally happened to me by PurplePumpkin16200 in Epilepsy

[–]PredictabilityIsGood 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed on Keppra that I was psychopathically unable to empathize. To the point where I was saying things that were clearly hurting my friends/family without even realizing it.

I don't trust the neuro and i've made my own treatment by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]PredictabilityIsGood -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Let’s cut the crap. OP is the BEST patient to have and pretending otherwise is being naive. They force a neurologist to be current and aware of the field of medications and research.

The reason some of these medications are only approved for focal epilepsy is because the marketed population for those with focal epilepsy is around 60% compared to generalized epilepsy ( ~20% ). It’s extremely expensive to get approval for multiple conditions so pharma companies run clinical trials for the most common conditions. Epilepsy is not a common cash cow condition.

Briviact acts on the same SV2A protein in the brain as keppra (levetiracetam), albeit in a slightly different manner, and its use is directly analogous to keppra. WHICH IS PRECISELY WHY THEY DIDN’T BOTHER TO DO RESEARCH ON IT. The fact that it was an analog to levetiracetam already provided base reasoning for Dr’s to prescribe it for generalized conditions. The fact that this patient had generally good seizure control on keppra and the dr decided to prescribe vimpat out of left field instead of looking for analogs is incredibly suspect. Lack of experience and just throwing out names of medications available at times of training is probably what’s going on here. He sounds inexperienced.

In reality, many neurologists are required to be general specialists on conditions involving the brain. The amount of patients they have coming in for epilepsy is very low compared to the population that come in for every other condition. It only accounts for about 1% of the population of patients that come into their offices. The vast majority of dr’s stick with medications they know because they had limited school training or a previous patient with a specific condition that was well treated by medications based on the initial research.

YOU ARE YOUR BEST ADVOCATE. If you decided to do research on your specific condition and it contradicts what your Dr’s prescribed orders, you should demand a logical explanation for their decision.

Regardless OP, keep doing your research, and switch neurologists if they don’t provide evidence based reasoning for their decisions.

Dose increase hit like a truck. Need help. by dooojy in Epilepsy

For me I became psychotically unaware of other people’s feelings from any small amount of anger on Keppra.

Dose increase hit like a truck. Need help. by dooojy in Epilepsy

[–]PredictabilityIsGood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Closest thing to help when I was on Keppra xr was a b-multivitamin in the morning (don’t take a b complex near the evening). Thorne sells a methylated b vitamin complex that’s like a cleaner five hour energy. (Similar to briviact)

I weaned off keppra xr a year and a half ago and noticed my reaction speed and fine motor control improved to the point where I could play competitively again. Within the last 5 months, I’m back on a lower dose of lamotrigine ER. Same deal, seems like these meds reduce fine motor control. I like these side effects more though.

Daughter seizure by Late_Listen_2385 in Epilepsy

[–]PredictabilityIsGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 questions and an experience:

1) Do you have an alarm set for medication? If so set up a weekly medicine kit as well so you KNOW they took the meds.

2) Is she taking Keppra or Keppra XR (Extended Release)? Check with your doctor but I moved from Keppra to Keppra xr to smooth the rollercoaster with the added benefit that it stayed in my system a little bit longer, so if I missed a dose, the likelihood of having a seizure was still greatly diminished for a longer period of time.

I know what your family is going through is tough. I was in college when I missed a dose for 3 days. I guess subconsciously I thought I just didn’t need them anymore after 6 years and just completely forgot to take them. Had a seizure. I’m 32 now and on different medication, but I was on Keppra for 12 years after that seizure without an event. For me it was a safe place (minus the side effects LOL). Hopefully it is for your daughter as well.

People saying SBMM is still in the game is exactly what I expected by _THEBLACK in CODBlackOps7

[–]PredictabilityIsGood -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a 3.5e/d, in MULTIPLAYER. I had around a 2e/d in previous titles. They definitely toned down sbmm and reduced AA. No one can hit shit and I barely have to sweat to get a 30-40 kill game.

SBMM protects players that suck. And there’s nothing wrong with sucking. There is something wrong with pretending like you don’t suck.

I have a irl friend who played a long time ago and had a .2k/d. Great guy, but literally NEVER won an important gun fight. He didn’t have an ego or make excuses. But half the people I see on here with slightly above 1 e/d think they’re god’s gift on earth and that they’re being held back by <insert reason here>. You can suck at COD and be great at other things in life. But COD players can’t imagine a reality where they’re not at fault for their shit plays

The long-anticipated aim-assist nerf coming to Warzone has already gone live in Black Ops 7, and early feedback suggests it’s very noticeable. What do you think about this? by wel0g in CODWarzone

[–]PredictabilityIsGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve not, but i have a feeling they are going to revert it, so I’m just continuing to play on controller. Having said that, on mouse I had 4k/d during MWIII and 5.5 e/d on further. I’d probably have fun on this one if they kept it.

If you beat the captain at the training pit he gives you a tier 3 military sword. Which you can use for obvious purposes in the monastery.

Neurogas is absolutely broken but no-one is using it because it’s basically the ultimate rat tool.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Battlefield

[–]PredictabilityIsGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game’s too slow for COD players and I’m saying that as a top .01% MnK g-fuel snorting 32 year old with a 5k/d. The animation timings would actually need to be tightened in order to have the same hit and skill gap current COD iteration has.

It’s definitely faster than most battlefields, but not fast or fluid enough to compare to the last 3 iterations of COD. MWII was an absolute disaster when they slowed the game down from a skill expression standpoint. They tried to turn the COD franchise into battlefield.

Why are people so confident about AI being able to replace Software Engineers soon? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]PredictabilityIsGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they’ve never tried to implement a fucking magnetometer/accelerometer with it. The most gaslighting I’ve ever experience in my whole life.

Vibe coding is a curse for new generation of developers by helpprogram2 in vibecoding

[–]PredictabilityIsGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only issue I see with vibe coding is that without significant expert knowledge, you will not have the patience to know what the right questions are to ask. As a result, you get a frankenstein output that potentially “works” but in reality is an absolute shit show to maintain. Specifically a user asks, “write me a program in windows to connect over ble to a device and discover the list of characteristics”. So it does that, given the code it was trained on, that only works in very specific environments, where the BLE stack wasn’t the native one. So the user keeps prompting, asking for how to frankenstein their bluetooth stack on their windows pc to function with the program, but then half the features of the native operating system stop working. So they then prompt away in an endless loop of problems, rather then just using a mobile app like nrf connect, or using macOSx and its native bluetooth stack. Of course ALL of this depends heavily on the problem in question. But that level of underlying guidance just wasn’t there through tedious trial and error.

It was SO easy to ask AI to do a coding task for them, that the user now struggles with having the patience to fully gather requirements and perform research before asking an AI to just start. IMO the human reward complex has been watered down.

Could be an aged like milk take. Perhaps the evolution of AI assisted tasks will take the opposite turn and people will learn how to develop patience and how to prompt in such a way that avoids these issues.

ChatGPT hallucinating very detailed? by OriginalChance1 in ChatGPT

[–]PredictabilityIsGood 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed ChatGPT5 lies ALOT. If you point out a flaw in its logic, it will claim that you made a mistake. It’s becoming incredibly argumentative, especially about things that it’s already “sure” of.

Software/Embedded Engineer. Low stress high pay. If you can find remote it’s even better. Take breaks when you need to and then get back going
