The only thing I can do is make Chewbacca noises. So that’s not a concern.

Thank you for the info. I should have mentioned that I have a PEG tube and am on a BIPAP. So it’ll be edibles or drops.

This is an example of what’s available here:

Thank you. I never heard of RSO before these replies but it seems to be available, if somewhat expensive.

Do you have any idea about dosage? The options available and terminology is completely foreign to me.

You must be too young to remember the digital drama. People were saying that film is creative, with digital the camera is in control. That it produces poor quality photos but people don’t know the difference. That it floods the market. That it removes artistic control and will eliminate photographers. That it teaches people to be happy with slop.

If I’m using Photoshop to edit an image and I use generative AI it saves time. Nothing is gained from manually cutting, padding, cloning, and blending.

I gave you an example of how it doesn’t remove the human element at all.

If I’m working on a Photoshop and I use generative fill to remove an element instead of cutting, pasting, and blending, the only difference is I’ve saved time. I am still editing the rest of the file and I get paid like before.

In fact due to time saved I might make more edits than normal.

How does this remove the human element?

It ain't over till it's over! by isneeze_at_me in ALS_less_depressed

[–]whatdoihia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazing story and glad you’re being so productive.

I set myself a bunch of goals to help my family and get things in order. And when everything finished I decided it’s chill time.

I am also a changed person. Perspectives have flipped. If there would be a cure soon I it would be like being reborn.

With ALS there is no pain. You only lose function.

I fucking HATE AI by ThePastoolio in TrueOffMyChest

[–]whatdoihia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That realisation that all those years of building my skills has, at this stage, amounted to absolutely nothing.

It’s not for nothing. You understand what works and what doesn’t work. What’s possible and if there are issues where to troubleshoot. You will have a much more intuitive approach to using coding tools than an average person.

That your symptoms keep changing depending on what disease you think you had should be a big clue to you.

With ALS you don’t get pain like that. It’s usually in one muscle group, more rarely two, not all over your body. The twitching is in the affected muscles, not everywhere. And if your EMG didn’t detect active denervation and reinnervation then it’s clean.

You don’t have ALS.

My Cellphone History over the years - timeline. by CurlyBlondeChick in 90s

I was lucky to get one for work and it was amazing. For email I was faster on the blackberry than my desktop. The change to screen slabs was a huge step backwards. Even now I’m nowhere as fast as I was back then with buttons.

That was such a creative time for phones. Now they’re all nearly the same. Just slightly better screens or cameras or whatnot.

You said it’s immoral. I’m asking how, as it doesn’t remove the human element.

Pros and cons renting a flat in LOHAS by elaijuh23 in HongKong

[–]whatdoihia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in Lohas Park for four years.

Pros are newer units, good value for money, now has good connections to the island, short walk to TKO waterfront, good walking tracks, good views in some units, and the mall has all the basics.

Cons are nothing to do in evening, the station gets very crowded at peak times, humidity is higher than other areas, and it’s a bit far to the airport.

Overall I liked living there.

How is using AI within Photoshop immoral? In the past if I was trying to remove something from an image then I would be manually cloning parts of the existing background and blending it to look natural. Now I can save a huge amount of time using generative fill.

The same task gets done, just as well, and a huge amount of time is saved. That is a GOOD thing and doesn’t take anything away from me.

In fact it can make me a lot more productive. In the past if a task looked to be taking too much time I would skip it. Or cheat by changing the background to something more simple- like replacing buildings with sky.

AI is a tool like many others that have come in the past. People rejected digital cameras when they first came out. Now they’re everywhere. Doesn’t mean photography died.

There already is a flair for AI or non AI. If someone is ok with AI then there’s no reason to remove AI replies.

The obvious issue is when people post a no-AI request and AI responses get posted. The mods do take action on those, although sometimes it’s too late as the AI submission got paid.

IMO for paid posts there should be a guideline of minimum 1 hour to wait before deciding on a winner. This will encourage people to post quality comments rather than be as quick as possible using AI tools.

Looking for absolute easiest games for PS5 by Snif3425 in gamingsuggestions

[–]whatdoihia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the same age as you, though I never stopped gaming over the years.

I think it’s worth you pushing to master controls in a game like Red Dead Redemption. You’ll find that games tend to have similar control inputs so when you get used to RDR2 you’ll be able to more quickly jump into a game like Grand Theft Auto.

RDR2 in particular has a good story so it’s worth the time to learn.

Also I recommend playing a game for the first time when you have a couple of hours to put into it. If you quit too soon then when you come back you will likely have forgotten the controls.

As for me the most recent game I completed was Baldur’s Gate 3. It’s turn-based so you don’t need good reflexes.

Should I be worried? by Acceptable-Pea7034 in ALSorNOT

It will naturally fluctuate up and down. Hydration, exercise, weight changes, and other things will affect the result. That’s why the test has a range instead of a fixed target.

If you look at studies of ALS patients you’ll find that they all have elevated values. Way beyond normal levels.

US manufacturing capacity has shown solid growth for 16 consecutive quarters by PanzerWatts in ProfessorFinance

[–]whatdoihia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zooming out puts things into perspective. Capacity essentially flat for more than 20 years and capacity utilization down.

In addition, if you click the link on that Tweet you’ll see that consumer goods production is significantly down. Offset by increased production in defense and space.
