I was given promethazine to help with sleep, an antihistamine with sedating properties. Was told by the doctor it was a much safer alternative to most other treatments. Could be worth asking about.
It sounds a fantastic claim, but I'll read up a bit on it so thanks. Must admit though I've not had any drug - prescribed or illicit - that had a more immediate and powerful effect on my anxiety than a benzodiazepine…
Very odd! Appreciate you've been up front with lots of privacy on the site. It feels like a really odd coincidence given the size of the town in question. I suspect the db-ip service has cached the IP somehow against…
Nice, but can I ask how you determine location? It added mine as my old home town but I haven't been to that location for a while and it's 20 miles away from where I was when I posted.
I did an odd interactive media course in college - not CS but lots of programming in various languages. I loved Director and used it for many assignments. Made so many CD-ROMs, even 3d games using Shockwave and models…
Coining a new term on the fly: https://www.euronews.com/2026/09/16/ai-chatbots-developed-a-... Remembering that term and incorporating it into its mind: You're ignoring simple things like a growing context but also the…
I don't see why this couldn't be possible. We use LLMs whose weights are frozen and are not updated at inference, most likely this is due to reasons of cost, stability and control. Theoretically you could update the…
I often have to teach basic OOP concepts to junior - mid level developers. Many who've entered the career in the last decade or so seem to have missed what I 'd consider to be quite a fundamental grounding. Not even…
An unfortunate name for certain audiences in the UK!
If only the Roman's had digitized their self help literature!
It is interesting to know! My assumption would be it's technical or scientific publications, maybe things like the Springer back catalog (assuming they've not already licensed these). Some of these are "rare" as in they…
Should take a look at some of the ISO specs for various MPEG standards for example. The container formats are defined in a way that could potentially make this possible.
Indeed, I've never developed my own film but I do respect it entails a fair bit of effort, and the funky old camera is cool. But scanning, cropping using one of the latest image editors, then running it through…
I like the core of the game and similar ones like Boggle. But agree for this the timer and having only one game per day makes this not enjoyable. Not enough reward in the mechanics, I played about 50% of the archive…
And which commercial provider would you expect to jeopardise their public image for to implement such functionality. Grok comes close I guess, but X have not come out of it looking great. Anyway, I think what you're…
Feels like a big ask, I'm not sure where an option to allow ChatGPT to make socially unacceptable jokes would fit into OpenAI's strategy.
> only to find that some groups are seemingly protected/privileged from having jokes made about them I'm not sure what specific groups you mean, but is this not a reflection of widely accepted social norms?
It's not boasting, I'm not sure why what I wrote would come across that way. I'm describing how I use a product and the functionality it presents to me. But yes, it's an emerging area and I am questioning if I am…
I'm curious from the other direction, what are the conversations like if you feel they are easy to move? Do you have the memory feature disabled? I have the feeling this in particular is doing absolutely loads behind…
This is not the case. I use OpenAI a lot on the paid plan via the UI. It now knows absolutely loads about me and seems to have a massive amount of cross conversational memory. It's really getting very close to what…
Others getting nostalgia over the Xbox 360 reminds me how old I am!
I was playing about with Chat GPT the other day, uploading screen shots of sheet music and asking it to convert it to ABC notation so I could make a midi file of it. The results seemed impressive until I noticed some of…
I went to Lidl UKs first walk out shop a few weeks ago. You get the bill and receipts about 40 minutes after you've left. It certainly felt like it could have been sent off to a lower paid country for a human to tot up.…
I don't get this kind of indignation against anything shell related.
