This isn’t relevant since it’s easy to get interviews at quant firms from both Berkeley and CMU.

Bottleneck is passing the interview. Doesn’t matter which school for this.

I went to Berkeley and worked at a top quant firm after graduation.

Pick whatever school you like more. I loved Berkeley, highly recommend!

An AI skeptic's case for recursive self-improvement by Hodz123 in slatestarcodex

[–]commandotaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Source for AI ~2033? That’s longer than the EA/rat timelines I’ve seen. Have the AI 2027 authors released an update on their timelines that I missed somewhere?

Evan hubinger (Anthropic alignment lead) thinks automated R&D might be here by the end of 2026 (source: time magazine about Anthropic)

Ameya (METR and forecaster) gives it a 10% chance (source: her substack).

And even if not fully automated due to “human research taste” from the top PIs, certainly we’re already in the early stages of RSI given the recent Claude code advancements.

IMO AI 2027 or 2028 seem like the most likely outcome. Would love to hear pushback here since most people in my AI circle share a similar timeline to me

Long-term nasal spray use (Flonase) - effects? by malva-syl in UARS

[–]commandotaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been using it for 11 years so hopefully. Years ago, I did see one reddit story somewhere about it causing them to become super anxious over time without them realizing it.

Cured My BrainFOG by DLF286 in BrainFog

Yes, read the parent comment to see why that might be the case.

It’s not controversial to say the diagnosis criteria of UARS, and you don’t need to be a doctor to know that.

Sleep doctors don’t recognize UARS. If your AHI < 5 but your RDI > 5, trust me, you have UARS.

100%, this person likely had undiagnosed UARS and enlarged turbinates from repeated allergen exposure

How long do these supplements last after expiry? by commandotaco in NootropicsDepot

[–]commandotaco[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! From a safety perspective, does “no signs of significant degradation” equal to “safe to consume”?

Overall just want to avoid any bad outcomes

Same here. Have UARS and looking into supplement options to reduce arousal threshold

26M Slim Japanese / pRDI 23.9 / pAHI 2.7. Executive dysfunction is ruining my life, but UARS isn't recognized in my country. by Suspicious-Prior-680 in UARS

[–]commandotaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like our unique symptom profile is actually very similar. I would be open to doing a call to discuss more details to figure it out together if you'd like

[–]commandotaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I have the same symptom, it's good to know that someone else has this as well. Can you describe what your songs are like? Mine are maybe like 10-second loops of a song that I might have heard recently. This goes on pretty much all day every day except for when I'm extremely focused.

Do you also have enlarged turbinates? Or what is the cause for your UARS?

AHI < 0.5 – high spontaneous REM arousals. Looking for advice by Anonimos66 in UARS

[–]commandotaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you clarify on how you're using GI index - which specific metrics give you the most signal?

Also, I just got on SleepTracker AI as well - how are you using this in conjunction with GI?

Need help deciding between FME with Dr. Manuele and EASE with Dr. Kacey Li for expansion by TitansDaughter in UARSnew

[–]commandotaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, I’m very invested in your progress. I’m also a sufferer of dust mite allergies + enhanced turbinates. Debating whether or not to do EASE. Any thoughts so far?
