You know what would help a lot of people get off SSRIs? Universal healthcare, universal childcare, paid maternity leave, better treatment for postpartum depression to start. And that's only if your depression/anxiety/condition is circumstantial, and not something your brain will do no matter what.

I gotta say, they didn’t always used to go this smoothly. Sometimes the capsule didn’t pop upright without inflating the stabilization buoys, and they sometimes splashed down a very long way from the recovery team and had to bob in the ocean in that tin can for a sick-making long time.

Splashdown! Vehicle is stable and upright. “A perfect bulls-eye splash for Integrity and its four astronauts!” #Artemis

I've covered #genAI for a while now, and this is probably one of the most important studies I've press-released. This method leads to both improvements & vulnerabilities, such as jailbreaking. It's also significantly less costly computationally.

I think this meme is basically true to the story thus far. Which is bananas. #RAM #Gaming #AI

A meme with a pic of a hard drive, it reads:
The reason RAM prices went up 4x is that a massive amount of not-yet-manufactured memory was bought with money that doesn't really exist to be put into GPUs that haven't been made yet, to be installed in data centers that haven't been built, powered by infrastructure that may never exist, to satisfy demand that isn't actually there, in order to generate profits that are mathematically impossible.
