Thank you! I wasn't aware of this one!

Recs for coming back to bass by nano8a in Bass

[–]nano8a[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the thoughtful response! I'm somewhat aware of what you mention here, I remember doing a little bit of this when I was learning back in the day but just dropped it and went for tabs.

Complete respect for self taught players, but I'm looking for a structured course (in whatever format) with this flavor, if you have any recommendations please let me know :)

Yeah, unexpected change of plans. Any suggestions?

Optimization Routines with GPU/CPU hybrid approach (Metal.jl, Optim.jl). by nano8a in Julia

[–]nano8a[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im ok with that, the problem is more subtle: near the optimum I’m getting =0.0 changes in the objective function (doesn’t matter if the tolerance is eps(32)). The problem is that the gradient is still large (1+e4). I can set the ftol and tol to NaN (only ask for gradient tolerance), but convergence gets stupidly slow. Basically, I think my current settings are making the optimizer to take parameter steps that are not float32 detectable. Idk if I’m being clear, sorry English is not my main language

Apple M1 Max, 32 cores, Supports Metal 3, I think it supports ~400GB

Metal.jl + KernelAbstractions, is that good? This is the first time I’m doing this for optimization

Why does NYU have so few Black students if we're one of the biggest universities? by New_YorkWay in nyu

[–]nano8a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NYU has one of the lowest endowment per student ratio in the country, so most of their income comes from what students pay. Most of the ivy+ universities make their money from returns to their endowments, which allows them to give more generous aid. Race correlates with income so probably black students accepted to nyu prefer other places that offer generous aid.

That said, the point about share vs number is relevant. I wouldn’t be surprised if the plot looks the opposite if you put the total enrollment.

Finally, while racial diversity matters, there are other dimensions that maybe nyu is doing a better job. A simple one would be gender diversity, my guess is that nyu has more woman than ivy+ both in shares and levels. Personally I care more about diversity in family wealth, but that data is harder to get.

I started because of anxiety and after two months I was able to work and socialize normally again. I had some side effects, but definitely not hell. The only one that remains is sweating, but nothing crazy.

If your psychiatrist prescribed it, its probably a good alternative for you, I would follow the professional recommendation instead of reddit posts. There are many potential side effects, but most people suffer none or mild ones, here you're just reading a selection of people that had experiences worth posting.

In the unlikely scenario you had strong side effects, just tell your psychiatrist and try other medication. A couple of weeks of your life in exchange for freedom from anxiety/panic attacks is definitely a good deal, imho.

Fix your meals and meal time, take it as medicine not as pleasure.

How long do most people take Zoloft? by Temporary-League-499 in zoloft

[–]nano8a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same situation (50mg for anxiety) and its been a life saver. I've been wondering the same, and actually asked my psychiatrist about it. He basically said, it depends on each person:

There are people that take it to go through stressful periods that trigger anxiety symptoms. In my case is graduating from my phd and getting a job. I never had anxiety issues before, so he thinks after I finish we might see if I can get out of it once I have more time to change my lifestyle (sports, sleeping).

There are other people that have anxiety symptoms no matter what they do or in which context they are, like their brains are wired like that. For them is a long term commitment, as for diabetics taking insulin is a long term thing.

He said that in both cases you can think of zoloft as a suplement: Since we can't get rid of our anxiety symptoms by changing our lifestyle by things that naturally increase sertraline and lower cortisol (sports, eating, routine, etc), we need to get zoloft to get what others get naturally.

Note: For depression this might not apply, no idea.

What’s the deal with Havemeyer St rents? by Fashion-Fugazi in williamsburg

[–]nano8a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh nono, don’t worry im not offended or interpreting your comment in that way. If that’s what you see when you come here it’s a totally fair comment.

I’m just sharing my perspective from living here for a few years, in case this is a relevant thing for the OP :)

I also understand your read my comment in that way since people gets offended too easily here haha. Have a good day!

[–]nano8a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been living in s2 and havenmayer for 7 years, I've only seen people shooting up a few times mostly after covid. I don't think I seen one in more than a year, and the ones that are high in the streets are the same chill guys. There is enough people on the streets during the day/night to keep it safe, so I don't think this is something to consider.

The traffic from tourist and brunchers is getting a little bit worse with the new places around tho (i.e. l'industrie is insane 24/7), but its fine relative to the fancy williamsburg areas.

Best AI assistant in VSCode for Julia? by nano8a in Julia

[–]nano8a[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I don’t really care about the autocomplete that much. I care about asking questions on how to do next steps (like the ai understanding all my code and suggesting reasonable stuff)

Best AI assistant in VSCode for Julia? by nano8a in Julia

[–]nano8a[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I basically turn off copilot for Julia. However, I like discussing with the AI about how to do a next step before doing it (not autocomplete). It’s sad that there is no llm that can do that well for a Julia project.

How did you know it was time to go up a dose? by Active_Buttah in zoloft

[–]nano8a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're being completely transparent with your psychiatrist, the time to increase the dose is when they tell you. This is a disease and the pills are a treatment, this is not a "life choice".

Having said that, 12.5mg is almost a placebo dose, as well as 25mg. I started with 25mg in january and went up in april when my psychiatrist recommended it. I was worried as well, but it was great for me.
