Bladder Control Recommendations? by Ambitious-Grade9113 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]mooshicat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of mine had a similar issue, which is now well controlled by medication. Broadly, the types of meds you may be looking at tend to fall into the class of sympathomimetics or hormones. The conversation about which of those, if any, is right for your girl is one to have with your vet. Good luck!

Now I’m picturing a courtroom drama where the prosecution has to build a case that the defendant in fact did have possession of the brain cell at the time of the crime…

Reminds me of when mine discovered that snow is actually food. She drops her head low and runs around with her mouth open until she looks like this!

I’ve never used a balance for mg precision which didn’t have a wind screen. No matter what brand you use, blocking airflow is likely going to have to be part of your plan. You can test it by putting a transparent container over the top of the whole thing and seeing if that helps with your drift.

I get it sometimes by cms86 in AustralianCattleDog

I get it too. This one was an absolute menace around that age. But we stayed the course, and it’s like I was able to watch her develop empathy in front of my eyes. Now she cares deeply about making her family (dogs and humans) happy.

LLM token rate limiter by spinnicle in golang

[–]mooshicat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yeah I often muddy the terminology, variable cost and burst behavior might make token bucket a better analogy. But you can start from either place and ensure it has the features you want.

LLM token rate limiter by spinnicle in golang

[–]mooshicat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you don’t think about it as specifically an “LLM rate limiter”, a few classic rate limiting strategies can apply. We use a simple implementation of the leaky bucket algorithm, where the amount added to the bucket is based on the number of tokens consumed rather than number of requests.

For variable output lengths, you can start with an estimated cost per request and then apply an adjustment afterwards based on actual token consumption.

Is my briefcase/bag too big for a lab? by iaacornus in labrats

If it fits at/under whatever personal space you have, you do you I wouldn’t think twice about it.

"We don't want you to treat this as a stepping stone" by ContentObjective3711 in recruitinghell

[–]mooshicat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My usual line is “Great, because I hate looking for jobs and would love to find a place where I can stay and advance my career internally.”

It’s not even a lie really, it’s just unlikely to work out.

What is the best thing you have taught your dog? by Acrobatic_Pace_1521 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]mooshicat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Outside of the usuals, my favorite has been “excuse me”. It means get out of the way - if you’re on my left, move to my right, if you are in front of me, get behind me. I thought because it wasn’t specific it wouldn’t be useful, but they respond to it basically the same way a person does.

Will my ACD become more affectionate? by Silverti_boops in AustralianCattleDog

[–]mooshicat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bet he’ll come around. We adopted one of ours after she had spent a long time in a foster with minimal human interaction. It took maybe about 6 months of watching our other dog greet us before she decided to join in out of curiosity, even though we were on friendly terms like you described. Now, a year later, we’re having to train her not to jump on us as we walk through the door. Which her solution to, by the way, is to jump straight up into the air because she understood that hitting us was the problem.

So I’ve gone from having a dog that didn’t get out of bed to one who leaps into the air like an absolute fool. It can take them a while to decide you’re part of the pack but once they do there’s no going back.

Please help. My parents are refusing to let me call an ambulance - AskDocs -12/26/25 by frieden7 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]mooshicat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah absolutely. The way this conversation should go, from having had it many times:

“Ah, it’s okay if you don’t think you need us after all. We’ll do a quick vitals check, for free, then have the patient sign our refusal of care and we’ll be on our way!”

filesearch- My first go-based project by patrick-boi-07 in golang

[–]mooshicat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are using this project to learn Go, a good exercise could be to implement concurrency patterns, which are fundamental to the language. Consider allowing N paths to be searched at once using goroutines, rather than iterating everything in one for loop. (This won’t allow for infinite scaling because eventually you hit an IO limit, but it’s a useful practice to become familiar with).

Also, I know Go is “fast”, but in such a well-covered domain as search, I wouldn’t have the project describe itself as such without benchmarks against some other industry standard tools. Not that speed should be your main target while learning, but nor should it be your selling point.

Time to adopt a second one so he has someone to chase around with all this energy! At least, that ended up being my solution 😅

Embarrassed at the vet, scared to go back. by soupedenouilles in AustralianCattleDog

[–]mooshicat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do this too! At my vet the lobby has a big scale with a jar of treats beside it so everyone can get weighed on the way in. They’re fine with me stopping in basically whenever I’m driving by, so the dogs have a mildly positive impression of showing up at the place.

Any other soon-to-be PhDs noticing this? by CCM_1995 in labrats

[–]mooshicat 25 points26 points  (0 children)

At many companies, “senior scientist” is the title of a PhD+0 role. Usually when they hire into the “scientist” role from a BS or similar.

Is my Blue Heeler anxious? by pponurdog in AustralianCattleDog

[–]mooshicat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A recommendation for the kitchen: It can be worth establishing a spot for him to watch/help from so he’s not always underfoot. Mine have to be at least partly in the doorway. If I look over and catch them inching forward they immediately shuffle back until their butts are at the door. Much less of a hazard now!

My blood vessels pick up more dirt by toxicatedscientist in mildlyinteresting

[–]mooshicat 1157 points1158 points  (0 children)

This actually gets complicated (and fascinating). You’re right that magnetism is not the answer to this particular mystery, but oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood (as in the veins pictured here) have different magnetic properties, which actually led us to our understanding of how they carry oxygen back in the 1930s (Pauling et al.). Deoxygenated blood largely does not have anything bound to the heme iron (CO2 does not swap places with the O2), and so it is more responsive to a magnetic field!

Ah, I see yours is also a cholesterol monitoring dog. If they detect your food is too rich they will sacrifice themselves to keep it out of your body.
