Agreed 100%. I don't understand why we have to fear access to knowledge.

Model ablation exists and you can get far enough on commodity hardware with a local model.

Censorship is not the answer.


I didn't suggest censorship was the answer.

> Model ablation exists and you can get far enough on commodity hardware with a local model.

Yes, but that increases the barrier to entry which is in opposition to the effect I'm talking about: the democratization of applying advanced knowledge and analysis to people who for which this would have been previously a barrier.

If someone is smart enough, they can just read a book themselves and figure out how to apply advanced ideas to their malice. The difference with a commercially-hosted model is that people below that bar can obtain that leverage... which is a much larger group of people.


Incredibly insightful. Not everyone speaks English as a first language. On top of that, the title is not ambiguous.

...and if a title is incorrect and says the opposite of what's intended, by way of a language misunderstanding or otherwise, it's helpful to note that and get it corrected.

You're right, it's not ambiguous. It's literally incorrect.

Oh you don't say? I'm genuinely curious to know what you reduced your AHI to with these exercises. Or are you just making things up?

Yeah we'll go with fabrications based solely on this sentence "But things like this aren’t necessarily profitable or worth a doctor’s time, so you have to do them yourself, or see therapists, etc"


I thought one of the main issues is that during sleep you lose muscle tone and control, so no matter how much you do myofacial therapy while awake it doesn't really matter much in preventing your tongue from falling back when asleep.


What a ridiculous post. Please leave the Reddit pseudoscience at the door.

There are researchers actively working and studying people with sleep apnea. They're not suffering from "forward head posture" or "breathing wrong".

I have severe sleep apnea and no amount of "breathing exercises" are going to cause my soft palate to uncollapse itself while I'm trying to get REM sleep.


Its been established head posture is a factor. It’s also intuitive - the posture of your head affects the angle of your airway. This is why some patients wear cervical braces to sleep.


Do you run regularly?

Overweight by chance?

I've put on a bit of weight sunce having kids and my breathing at night is much worse than before.


You have no idea what you're talking about and it shows by what you choose to type.

It's not exclusively caused by fitness or lack thereof. A cursory Google search would show you this. It's not "breathing at night", it's literally suffocating in your sleep.

This place used to be full of intellectuals. It's a real shame.


Wow you sound very defensive.

If it's not obvious I meant breathing while sleeping at night in a sleep apnea discussion, I think you need to analyse your own internal bias and possible self-hate.

I'm very sure i have sleep apnea now as i wake up literally in panic where i'm not breathing + have a full bladder and need to go a few times a night (which i've read as a kidney response with sleep apnea).

As i said this all came about with extra weight gain in the past few months.


Gross.


Wow what a trash discussion this was.

Turns out it was you who are polluting this community with low IQ takes.


I mean naturally the question is why do some people's soft palate collapse while sleeping while others don't.

Could it possible be due to musculature and structure of the palate and tongue? And, if it is, could therapy help mitigate it?

I mean, just consider the conditions physical therapy can help with today. Is it really so out of the question that physical therapy could help obstructive sleep apnea?


Yes! It is a shame that this kind of nonsense gets upvoted. Pure snake oil.


I’m not selling anything, you can learn any of these exercises online for free and there’s no risk. The guy in the article is the one trying to make billions of dollars selling you a pill that alters your brain chemistry and you’ll need to buy monthly for the rest of your life.


Requires an already compromised hypervisor / UEFI. Yawn.


The only purpose of SEV is to protect a guest against the person who controls the hypervisor.

So this is a threat against SEV.


That's exactly what SEV is supposed to protect against. If you trust the hypervisor you don't have to encrypt your virtual machine's main memory.


I found this really hard to read due to the Claude-isms. "Classic" chicken and egg problem? 39 em-dashes, random numbered lists, etc.

If you're not going to even bother to take the time to write an article, why should I waste my time reading it?


Started reading, saw "That was it, That was the whole reason", closed the page.


Is that a claudeism? IMO that's a perfectly natural trope that'd be at home in my voice or any of a million generic blog people I've read since long before AI. It is a linguistic trope, sure, but that's an unrelated criticism.


The thing with all AI-isms is that they all started humans, but we're apparently not allowed to use them anymore. Emily Dickinson obsessed with em-dashes, now they belong to ChatGPT.


I’ve never read comments, articles, books in LLM’s current style before LLMs, and somehow, since then, I read comments like these every other day. This phenomenon is way overblown at the minimum. And since nobody showed a counter example from before 2022 which can be confused as LLM generated (using em dashes was never in it self that) I tend to say that it never even existed.


You can use em dashes as long as you don't write like a bot.


It's more subtle than that. Human written articles are immediately recognisable and so you let your guard down and tropes like this are accepted. But AI writing occupies a part of the uncanny valley where the hairs on the back of your neck stand up a bit, and every AI-ism like this is like a branch snapping beneath your feet


There is just a very specific kind of enthusiastic/authoritative/nerd voice that claude and other LLMs do does that is so grating to me. Like it's trying to be super upbeat and engaging and it comes off as trying too hard and is just offputting. If people are going to use LLMs to write their articles for them I would rather they be more neutral in tone, it just feels so incincere to get a robot to try to impersonate a enthusiastic human.


I read it and found it useful

\_(^ ^)_/


I mainly object to AI writing when it’s excessively verbose. This was pretty information dense, a few AI-isms didn’t make it a waste of my time to read.


I've begun to find the writing style nauseating regardless of use, but yes, at least it isn't used to pad length.


Yeah, I saw an oddly placed rule-of-three and closed the tab.

This website is going downhill, almost every blog post I open is just blatantly AI generated these days. It's like people don't have any self-awareness anymore, they just lazily prompt their AI to generate a post and then pat themselves on the back lol.


Welcome to Hell, Reader.

(I liked the article, personally.)


pretty obviously a copy-and-paste job


"How a Broken Bike Sync Led Me to Reverse Engineering My Wahoo's Hidden Debug Mode" - this is brain-dead AI slop right in the title.


Still sounds trivial. Not sure why you're trying to make travel sound like a complex problem that can only be solved by burning tokens.


It is certainly not a "search engine". Perhaps you should do some reading on how LLMs function.


It is. It pulls it out. Maybe you're too into it.


Wordpad was horrible! Nobody reasonable misses binary encoded .rtf files. They were a nightmare for any other platform other than windows.

What are these horrible takes?


The point is that there was basically no reason to totally kill Wordpad in the way that they did. They're different products and the new Notepad is closer to the ideal version of Wordpad than what Notepad is supposed to be, and now there's no Notepad.


>Nobody reasonable misses binary encoded .rtf files.

then put the markdown support there to supplant rtfs?


RTF is not binary encoded though? It's plain text with commands, not unlike TeX.
