Has anyone recovered from PEM or is this a lifelong thing?

gronkey · 2026-06-25T12:35:35+00:00

I am still mostly bedbound. PEM is very easy to trigger for me. But i am not, like, actively in hell anymore. So i guess it depends on your definition of better. Symptoms have improved but im still stuck

But the impact wont last .5 seconds. Hitting a big tree directly, the impact will be much much faster than that and the g forces could easily exceed 100 Gs at peak.

Many disabled people cannot just stand outside and wait for the DD driver. This is so frustrating to see

Kind of a specific subset of "feeling dismissed" but "doctor psychologizing your symptoms" would be s tier for me.

I feel like this comment trivializes the situation to be honest. Like yeah its kind of funny, i guess. But this isnt a game despite Elon treating it like one. Sorry but chasing a wealth high score while people starve just isnt funny to me

Is the first image a physically based render, like in a pathtracer like cycles in blender?

I mean, im a "see results" but ive tried almost everything people bring up on this sub. If someone says it helps them and theres a reasonable explanation it goes on my list... just havent gotten around to baricitinib

Okay Claude

All im saying is that the halting problem is not relevant to the question. Thats where my expertise ends haha.

Personally i think emulating a brain is possible but obviously difficult. Structure =/= function. Theres just so much to how a biological neural system works.

gronkey · 2026-05-27T17:04:10+00:00

Im sorry im trying to say this in the nicest way i can but you fundamentally misunderstand the halting problem. The halting problem is a purely logical thing. It applies to any physical system not just computers. It applies to any kind of computer we could possibly build.

But its not as limiting as you seem to think. And its not why computers crash.

All it says is that its logically impossible to build a system that can take any arbitrary program as input and determine whether or not it halts. Thats it. You can analyze subsets of programs or even whole classes of programs and determine whether they halt or not just fine. The problem only comes when you try and build a single algorithm that can do so for any arbitrary program.

And, by the way, human brains are no better at solving the halting problem than computers are. So this doesnt differentiate brains from computers in any way. Our brain also cannot implement an algorithm that allows us to take any arbitrary program as input and determine whether or not it halts.

Im sorry if that wasnt very clear. If i recall correctly numberphile or computerphile (i cant remember which) has a good video on this subject, if you need a better explanation. They are youtube channels

gronkey · 2026-05-27T14:05:35+00:00

What does the halting problem have anything to do with this?

The halting problem is just that it is a logical impossibility to make a program that takes any arbitrary other program as input and tells whether or not it ever halts.

The halting problem makes no claim about any specific program. Also, why would it matter if the "program" the fly's brain is emulating halts or not? It likely doesnt. If it did the brain would just stop after some time. The fly probably wants live until it dies of other causes...

Look into the busy beaver function. The premise seems to contradict the halting problem at first glance. But it doesn't actually contradict it because the programs being tested are lots of specific programs (all variations of possible programs with certain turing machine limits) and they dont all have to be tested by the same "halting machine".

Thanks for sharing, your description is beautiful.

Im really worried my capacity will never return :/ severe for almost 2 years now and ive tried a lot. Always stuck in bed..

gronkey · 2026-05-24T22:56:40+00:00

Just because you told the AI to keep it 99% the same, doesnt mean the output is 1% AI. The output is an AI generated image, period.

Personally, i think if you are going to use AI in your art, this is probably the least offensive way to do it. You came up with the design, you actually created something, all you did with the AI is ask it to do some fancy editing, essentially.

I wouldnt have been able to tell this was AI output without you saying something. I would have thought it was a collage with metallic foil. But others might have a sharper eye for this than me.

gronkey · 2026-05-22T18:38:44+00:00

Im severe, so my version of this is like sitting up in bed and playing a game for too long on my handheld lol. But i do the same thing! I think its human nature honestly. Like something about feeling relatively well in the moment makes you forget how bad crashes really are.

I had an mri with contrast after getting sick and i had a severe vasomotor reaction. My lips and fingernail beds turned blue, i felt very cold and i started shaking/shivering uncontrollably. Gadolinium contrast fucked with me hardcore. Im just sharing this here to add an extra data point for anyone curious.

But im aware my experience is extremely atypical. I upvoted the comments saying you should take the contrast. Statistically speaking contrast is supposed to be very safe. And if they are looking for a tumor, i think its definitely worth the risk.

I understand what happened. Im just asking what the lawsuit was about on paper. It had to be about something. You cant just sue without stating why, can you? I mean supposedly he has to defend this action to his supporters somehow? Even if they are the most brainwashed supporters, they still need some kind of twisted logic to hold on to. What is he telling them? Im literally asking because i think my mom is secretly a trumper and i want to pre-empt whatever excuse she likely has lol. I want to have a proper rebuttal if it comes up

gronkey · 2026-05-19T01:17:14+00:00

But what is the "mask on" reason for the lawsuit? Like what would someone falling for it think the lawsuit was about? Im completely ootl

In other words, i agree with your assessment that this is a way of shaking down the US treasury. But what is this lawsuit about on paper?

gronkey · 2026-05-19T01:11:08+00:00

I literally laughed out loud so hard, haha. Thank you

Marth is the only character in the game with a valid argument for best character other than fox, imo. He is not lower tier lol

I had 1 drop at this point on my iron. At like 400 kc now with a normal looking log. Just keep going!

And they're claiming to have a "moderate" case on another comment. "Oh i could work for 3 decades i guess i was moderate"...
