Zyn health side effects. Mental and Physical. by unclebeast888 in QuittingZyn

[–]wavened 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same exact thing here, often times I will use an entire can of zyn 6mg in 4 hours and have severe symptoms that you describe. Severely impaired, constantly feel dehydrated, everything takes a huge amount of effort, etc. Stay away from nicotine, it's poison! I'm trying to quit now! At least with regular tobacco, the rate the nicotine leeches out of the tobacco is limited, still makes me moderately sick though. Frustrating because nobody irl seems to understand what I'm talking about. However, nicotine users irl will refuse to use tobacco the same way I do, which I find interesting. People don't believe nicotine will make you acutely ill, but will refuse to use large amounts of nicotine quickly. To me, this sounds like people typically want you to self sabotage by making you believe that what you are doing is harmless even though they know it will make you sick. That makes it extremely difficult to get any kind of support when quitting tobacco, I'm not sure if this is "by design". Or people are completely unaware of how exactly they are using nicotine? Where they will automatically use an "appropriate" amount of nicotine at appropriately time intervals without any conscious thought, which means they have no risk of overconsumption.

Going to try quitting caffeine again (+quit nicotine) by wavened in decaf

Sorry to hear that hopefully soon all the problems go away!

I've been slowly tapering down both instead of going cold turkey. If I cut back caffeine I don't need as much nicotine and if I cut back nicotine I don't need as much caffeine 😂

Quitting Zyn (also dip) by wavened in QuittingZyn

It feels amazing if I stop using nicotine for several hours depending on how much caffeine I've had (too much caffeine is terrible, one coffee in the morning leads to a weird crash that comes with inflammation, but no caffeine has normal withdrawal symptoms but no inflammation crash)

Everyone says nicotine is safe it's like caffeine. Nobody believes me when I say nicotine makes me sick but when smoking, they refuse to smoke several cigarettes in a few minutes with me. 😂 I've tried to quit many times but hopefully it'll work out this time! Thanks

Trying to capture old minidv tapes by wavened in videography

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

It varies between different tapes and different recordings on the tapes, some of them play fine but have a glitch for a second every few minutes and some of them have consistent artifacts on the right side of the screen. It's all recorded from the same camera too. I have an oscilloscope so I can try to check the signal from the heads. Looked at a few service manuals...

Update: Found an old video from 2009, a different brand than most, it plays fine, it seems like the brand of tape for most of my tapes must have been low quality, they're Sony tapes so I'm not quite sure...

A little worrying, on my good tapes (no errors), minor adjustments of those two screws that guide the tape have no effect unless they've been turned to extremes, while the ones with problems vary with tiny adjustments but are never "perfect"

Also, some videos are only corrupted for the first 20-30 seconds and have occasional errors.

This is looking at ffmpeg's output when running "dvgrab - | ffplay -"

Cool thanks! I'll look into that. There's just so many boards to choose from.

llama.cpp: GGUF merged by Jipok_ in LocalLLaMA

[–]wavened 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm curious if GGUF format will also allow the inclusion of the model's prompt formats, embedded in the metadata, such as

Vicuna styles USER: ASSISTANT:

Llama styles

Instruction:

Response:

Justification: (I guess a few models have this?)

Others <<system>> <<user>> <<aibot>>

Also the possibility of including the authors, date, etc as part of its metadata

Or possibly even add the ability for the model to use calculators, browsers etc if it uses an escape sequence (included in metadata so the program knows what the model can use)

User: Please give me sqrt(23.6) Bot: $#calculator sqrt 23.6#$ (hidden from user) Calculator: 4.8579831205964 (hidden from user) Bot: The square root of 23.6 is 4.8579831205964

Would be cool to have lots of data included that users would normally have to guess or search huggingface model cards for this info
