Modern GitHub is crushing it. Somehow they turned writing software into filling out compliance paperwork with anime profile pictures. The entire site has the energy of a workplace safety meeting with mandatory modules.

In chemistry, a supersaturated solution is one where you've kept adding a solute to a liquid beyond where the liquid can dissolve everything. All it takes is a nucleation site / seed crystal for the solution to rapidly (sometimes violently) crystalize. Unrelatedly, the US has more guns than people.

Great to see genuinely useful ecosystem work happen despite GitHub shitting all over everything. Literally turning every dev workflow into a KPI dashboard wrapped around Microsuck copilot upsells and BS engagement farming. Atleast pnpm still remembers software is supposed to solve problems Congrats

What feelings does this symbol yield when you see it on a website / app? For me, it is the same feeling I have when interacting with multitiered phone menus, or clunky bloatware like office365 and SharePoint. I know I’m in for an annoying experience. #AI #chatgpt #LLM.

The future of addiction medicine is so much more than just receptor blockade and suppression of cravings…but rather attention to disruption of rigid neural loops, increasing neuroplasticity, and reprocessing of trauma and behavior in a therapeutic setting #addictionmed #medsky #psychedelics

I believe it usually laziness or apathy. The belief system that “my individual contribution makes no difference, so it’s just won’t do anything because it’s inconvenient.” The juice isn’t worth the squeeze. We have this debate often in our core group of friends. Wild stuff. Wild.

This is life support, by the way. Those medications are keeping the patient alive and if stopped for only a moment would likely result in death. The nurse manages all of that.

That’s not a glitch or whatever if the runtime doesn’t support native fetch, the reasonble response is to pin a compatible node version, upgrade the platform, or scope the polyfill locally.

False-Certainty Probability Formula P_h = α × (T_c / D_c) Where: P_h = hallucination probability T_c = tone confidence D_c = domain correctness α = corpus bias constant When T_c ↑ but D_c ↓ → P_h spikes. AI will not replace physicians. Relax.

Encouraging news: COVID-era telehealth rules for addiction meds are likely extended again. Not yet official, but reassuring that these vital services will remain in place for those who need them most. Barriers to treatment are steep—telehealth bridges the gap.
