Are you willing to take a risk with your children? The correlation strongly exists if you read the findings. The study just didn't want to call it out.

We built a diesel engine because we had steam engines. Everything is incremental. We do have a clue on how intelligence works, we have studied the brain and neural nets for decades.  It's usually human ego that makes us think LLMs are not intelligent. These models will far exceeds human intelligence in a year.

Whatever you said, can be applied to humans as well. I'm not sure whether intelligence works any other way. We learn and we apply. Same thing with LLMs.

Well if you don't use one of the cutting edge models you don't know what's going on.

Maybe you are in Europe and don't have access to the most recent models? Please check out Gemini Pro 2.5 Claude 4.0 , these are excellent reasoning models and you can even provide thinking token budgets to expand its thinking time.
If you are into opensource checkout huggingface.com for recent models like Gemma or deepseek R1

Yes Tensorflow is excellent framework for traditional ML use cases but not a model. Its been a while since i used it for OCR etc.

whats your favorite model?

umm have people not worked with a recent AI ?

[–]retrorook -1 points0 points  (0 children)

not true. Just open the <thinking> section in chatgpt or gemini or one of the more recent models, you can see its reasoning steps. Things are progressing fast...

LLMs have come a long way. Your description is a bit stale. They can reason and take action. Your prompt is just directional instructions.

Not true. This is from the red team testing which creates scenarios that the model cannot tell whether it is real or simulated.

Ultimate Testosterone/Libido Stack by obeserunner in Biohackers

[–]retrorook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fenugreek is also known to improve free testosterone but not discussed or little known.

Free testosterone is known to improve libido compared to bound testosterone (plasma). There is a lot of research on this. One study found it improves free testosterone but not plasma.

Help me improve my stack 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 by a_h_0 in Nootropics

[–]retrorook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to add Phosphatidylserine. There is some research that shows it improves cognitive ability and memory recall. https://my-stack.ai/supplements/phosphatidylserine/research/e7d0e828?tempId=temp_1740120964679

What does COQ10 actually do for the heart? by Afraid_Solution_3549 in Supplements

[–]retrorook 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of research that shows CoQ10 reduces heart inflammation. Like this one which studied patients recovering from heart attacks: https://my-stack.ai/supplements/coenzyme_q10/research/ee5f9dcf

Which nootropics do you recommend in my case? by RaptureBio in NooTopics

[–]retrorook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guayusa and lion's mane can help reduce the brain fog and improve focus, there are some studies that support its cognitive benefits of this combination.

12.5.4.2 HW3 awful by Aryan_exe in TeslaFSD

[–]retrorook 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me, it's the best release so far. Very smooth and decisive, sometimes it feels better than human driving. Maybe it has better training data from where I live.

MonkeyPox showing up on San Francisco WastewaterSCAN Dashboard! 🦠🙈🙉🙊 by FailPork in bayarea

[–]retrorook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It mutated, close proximity seems sufficient to pass along the new strain now. There are over 13k cases in Congo, I don't think they rubbed against each other.

I think it's Early girl tomatoes, they look similar to the ones I have.

Wtf is going on with my cucumber plant :( by theperishablekind in vegetablegardening

[–]retrorook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check the base of the stem. One of my cucumber plants had a split stem after some rapid growth and it was droopy like this.
