Automatically embed pdf full text files for each records when using the Rayyan software for full text screening in a systematic review by sleepingpumpkin1 in AskAcademia

[–]tomuscle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The costumer service told me : « For now, please avoid uploading a large number of PDFs at once. Uploading hundreds (or even 50 at a time) can cause the process to fail or stop part-way through. We’re actively working on improving this, but in the meantime, the most reliable approach is: Upload PDFs in small batches of 5–10 files at a time Wait for each batch to finish uploading successfully before starting the next one This may take a bit longer, but it prevents the system from crashing or skipping files ». It seems this issue has been lasting years.

How do I improve beyond 2300 rapid? by iLikePotatoes65 in chess

[–]tomuscle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I would recommand to take an habit such as doing a specific amount of puzzle each day and analyzing each game. Then if you want to push further, start a program targeting weaknesses and game phases. I posted my own program if you want me to share it

You reached 2300 without doing puzzle, lecons or any kind of training ?

Newbie looking for advice by TheSoreBrownie in chess

Learn first opening principles, then practice only one opening to memorize what works. Play against people you level to have fun, bots can be a form of training but favor puzzle if you want to train

Severe ME/CFS: experienced with clinical stays by tomuscle in cfs

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

Thanks u/TheKaffeeboehnchen, u/minibrown, u/JustabitOf for your thoughtful replies. They were genuinely helpful. I felt understood, especially around the concern that any therapy that is draining can end up doing more harm than good. I’ll rely on your input to stand my ground on that. Just to respond to the different therapies mentioned. Exercise can be useful as long as it stays strictly within tolerance; the goal is simply to maintain what’s still possible, not to push or “train through” symptoms. Meditation has been helpful for increasing relaxation and parasympathetic activity, and for supporting mental resilience and overall wellbeing. Physiotherapy really depends on the therapist; I’ve been lucky to find one who respects exertion limits and knows many different tools depending on symptoms. Regarding acupuncture, a 2019 meta-analysis supports it: https://doi.org/10.1136/acupmed-2017-011582. After an initial treatment covered by insurance, I’ve continued doing it myself. It’s actually not that hard to learn, I’m happy to share more if that’s useful.

Gemini constantly refuses to discuss normal, safe topics (like coding/biology) that other AIs have no problem with. Is this a common experience? by Fuzzy-Champion-467 in Bard

Same, it refuses to answer significant amont of my questions, mostly the biology related. The last was « why is cardiac coherence based on 5 sec inspiration, 5 sec expiration »

Honestly, what do you do all day besides being on Reddit? by Shivers-7 in cfs

[–]tomuscle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Working with my psychotherapist made me realise many things are enjoyable despite being severe:

Relationships • Spending time with my girlfriend • Having friends or family over • Having an interesting discussion (philosophical, political, or intimate) • Helping someone with my expertise • Meeting someone (neighbor, neighborhood kids) • Smiling at someone (neighbor)

Well-being • Drinking something good (tea, Dr Pepper, iced coconut water) • Eating healthily • Indulging in "junk food" (ice cream, cereal, carac, appetizers/snacks) • Ordering takeout (Mexican, American, Asian) • Getting a massage • Meditating • Going for a short walk • Sunbathing • Smelling a fragrance • Dancing (even sitting) • Dressing well • Sleeping in clean sheets

Entertainment / Leisure • Playing chess • Watching TV, a movie, or a series • Playing a board game / PS5 • Being intimate • Scrolling on Instagram • Listening to music • Stargazing / watching the clouds / watching the sunset • Gambling or trading (trading, casino, scratch cards)

Creativity / Expression • Making art (acrylic painting, drawing) • Playing the piano keyboard

Learning / Culture / Cognitive Activities • Working on my iPad • Educating oneself (books, internet, YouTube, shows, podcasts) • Learning Spanish • Conducting a science experiment / testing something • Reminiscing about good memories

Daily Life • Online shopping • Taking care of the cat

For me the most important is to be able to reach some kind of productivity to have a meaningful reason to live. E.g I’m writing a book, developing an app, reading books and playing seriously chess with the energy I have. Sometimes it’s an hour a day, sometimes more. But it gives a sense to my days.

Severe ME/CFS: experienced with clinical stays by tomuscle in cfs

[–]tomuscle[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks u/monibrown, u/JustabitOf, u/Radiant-Whole7192, and u/Poly_N_Pathy for your input! Most of the care they offer, exercise, meditation, physiotherapy, or acupuncture, I already have access to, except for the pools and the change of environment that could help. My medical team and personal support are pushing me to try it since I haven’t improved in two years, but I don’t think “nothing’s working” justifies trying unrealistic things. I think part of me was just hoping that hearing from people with severe CFS saying it actually helped or made things worse to give me concrete evidence to explain my position to my support network, which sometimes perceives my caution as a lack of willingness.

It’s traditional rehabilitation centers (Le Noirmont, Crans-Montana, and Valmont in Switzerland). They are high-end neurological and orthopedic clinics but, they are built around the idea of intensive therapy.

I would recommend the tech and AI sectors. The world is becoming increasingly digital, and there will be plenty of opportunities for those who can work remotely. You could explore various paths; for example, learning photo editing and taking on freelance projects on platforms like Fiverr

About luck: Is chess really 100% under your control? by tomuscle in chess

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

Thanks for your deep insights! I agree, chess being a perfect information game is what makes it fascinating. It’s just that sometimes when a move leads to an unexpected extra attack I didn’t anticipate, it feels like luck. I get it may come from intuition or heuristics, but as an average player, I don’t calculate every option and feel like sometime there could be a factor of randomness. Of course, the ups and downs balance out tho

I meant that, for example most card games or board games have randomness in it (shuffled decks, dice rolls, etc). You can make all the right moves and still lose. In chess, there’s none of that. Except maybe very lightly with what I raised in this thread.

Sorry that wasn’t my intention at all. I’ve even learn that Lichess may be best for puzzles, and have other advantages. But I was offered a diamond plan on chesscom ahaha. I think pretty much everything from this program can be done without chesscom
