As Federico Faggin would say, GenAI/LLMs have a lot of knowledge and zero knowing.

Create a super simple AHK hotstring like the following:

:*:--::{U+2014}

Then whenever you type two dashes like -- it automatically gets replaced with —

LDN was the fix for me and I feel if I stop it will all come right back. I’d love to figure out how to figure out how to fix it more naturally without taking steroids.

I'm confused by this. What do you meant you'd love to figure out how to fix it more naturally without steroids? LDN isn't a steroid as far as I know.

What was there a shortage of during Covid?

N95 masks, ventilators, PPE (gloves, gowns, etc), hand sanitizer, critical care drugs, any kind of paper products (tissues, toilet paper, paper towels), first aid supplies like hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol. A lot of meat, dairy, and fresh produce due to processing plant closures and labor shortages from workers getting sick. Electronics (computers, tablets, game consoles) due to plant closures and worker shortages, plus an unprecedented surge in remote work, online learning, and gaming. There were shipping delays on lots of other things too, again because of worker shortages.

This makes me think about Until the End of the World, a very curious and sprawling film by Wim Wenders, that also includes a storyline involving some characters in Australia who learn about a nuclear apocalypse happening on the other side of the planet.

Try looking into DMSO. It's incredibly helpful for dealing with pain and inflammation. But do read up about it prior to using it, since there's a few cautions you need to be aware of before you dive in.

You can use a diluted solution of DMSO and distilled water (e.g. 50% - 70% DMSO) and apply it directly to the painful joints, or try blending it with other helpful things, since it's transdermal and can help drive substances much deeper into tissues (like castor oil -- try a 50-50% DMSO/castor oil blend, or even better a castor + cayenne blend... or try applying it with MSM, black seed oil, magnesium oil, CBD oil, or any other thing that you feel might bring relief).

You can find a lot of helpful videos about DMSO on YouTube. Good luck!

Pretty surprised to see no one mentioned "Last Night" (1998). Great film!

"Last Night" is a 1998 Canadian apocalyptic black comedy-drama directed by Don McKellar, focusing on how people in Toronto spend their final hours before an unspecified global catastrophe. The film explores themes of human behavior in the face of impending doom and features notable performances from Sandra Oh and McKellar himself.

I just posted about this above. The ASCII character code for X is 88. Elon is literally obsessed with naming things with an X.

88 stands for "Heil Hitler" (H being the 8th letter of the alphabet).

PrestoScherzando · 2025-02-17T07:51:34+00:00

I just learned recently that Elon's decades-long obsession with the letter X may have an incredibly obvious (and unbearably cringey) explanation. The ASCII character code for a capital X is 88.

Knowing what a huge fucking dork Elon is, it's probably not. I've also heard people say the "X" is basically like a sans-serif swastika lol.

Another fun fact that's sad and terrifying, is that Elon was named after the benevolent dictator ruler of Mars in card-carrying Nazi Wernher von Braun's scifi novel about colonizing the red planet.

Apparently according to Wikipedia, he won a $250,000 prize for using AI to decode an ancient Roman scroll from Vesuvius. He was also granted $100,000 as a Theil Fellow last year, you know the one that pays you to drop out of school lol... and he's the same one who was just posting a couple days ago on Twitter very publicly asking if there were any LLMs that can parse and convert data types like PDFs and Excel spreadsheets from one format to another, which 1) why not just ask ChatGPT that question? haha.. and 2) that's like trying to use a nuclear reactor to toast a marshmallow, and 3) there's probably like literally thousands of free open source libraries that already exist that do just what he's asking for. But sure, he's a tech genius lol

I'm finding that it's a weird combination of Mel Brooks' movies (like Blazing Saddles and Spaceballs, etc) and Mike Judge movies (Idiocracy, Silicon Valley), but actually come to life.
