Dr. Amen seemingly is a very popular "ADHD influencer". Many of his claims surrounding ADHD, however, are scientifically dubious. His main claim to fame is his work with SPECT imaging as a tool for diagnosing mental disorders [11]. Specifically relevant to this community is his advocacy for its purported use in diagnosing ADHD...
Didn't really help anything besides give cool pictures of my brain. Turns out my brain is the only hyperactive part of me (SPECT shows bloodflow in the brain and mine was way more active than most). It was neat I guess, but I already had been diagnosed with ADHD inattentive type, so it ended up just being expensive and not really helpful. My mom was happy about it though, so there's that.
I wouldn't recommend it. They need to inject you with a radioactive isotope for your blood to show up in the scans. Supposedly it's not much worse than a couple of X-rays, but still.
I had several hundred edited and formatted subtitles up on subscene before they closed. I'd made all of them for my Plex server, so I still have all the files. is somebody going to recompile subscene data, or are we doing this manually?
Yeah, I mean I use them with Bazarr, so I don't deal with their UI, it's all automated. I'm not saying they're convenient, but it is public and widely used, so if your goal is your subtitles helping others, it's a good option.
Quantized with more parameters is generally better than floating point with fewer parameters. If you can squeeze a 14b parameter model down to a 4-bit int quantization it'll still generally outperform a 16-bit Floating Point 7b parameter equivalent.
I believe commercial LLMs have some kind of watermark when you apply AI for grammar and fixing in general, so I just need an AI to make these works undetectable with a private LLM.
Just that they're no easier to use to fool an anti-AI system than using ChatGPT, Gemini, Bing, or Claude. Those AI detectors also give false positives on works made by humans. They're unreliable in the first place.
Basically, they're "boring text detectors" more than anything else.
So first of all, you shouldn't involve yourself in your friend's business. Fraud is generally frowned upon.
But secondly, you know that ChatGPT was trained on the entire internet, right? Like, every book. I don't think "more books" is gonna help.
I hope you take your computer skills and make something of yourself. Try not to get any more involved in this scheme, seriously. You don't need this crap marring your reputation.
Besides, there are better reasons/ways to fight the system than helping other people avoid learning.
It's gonna be more like 4K, I suspect. It's an iterative improvement for crap like voice assistants, photo enhancement, and justifying spying on users, so it's gonna keep getting pushed.
It's also real scary to think since I'd assume most of us Gen Z-ers aren't properly able to object to privacy eroding tech bills because we're too tech illiterate to understand the impacts.
Millennial here, putting my tinfoil hat on for a minute:
This is exactly what the big tech corpos wanted all along. They've been curving the arc of history towards people at large being digitally dependent but incapable of self-service. They want addicts, not citizens. Serfs, not an educated populace.
In the 70s, 80s, 90s, and into the early 00s there was this "hacker culture" which was centered on the idea that as long as we keep our wits about us we could use computers as a great equalizer. The common person was empowered. Any and all software would be distributed for free so anyone who couldn't afford it could get it. Bill Gates was painted as a villain because he was overtly capitalistic. The corpos were kept in check by a diverse, rapidly evolving market and a ton of savvy users who knew what they wanted.
Giant corporations pretty much caught on that they needed there to be fewer tech savvy people who could get one over on them. When politicians needed to ask experts what to include in school curriculums, guess who had lobbyists ready to go? Microsoft and Apple. Eventually Google too.
And now that there are fewer tech savvy people? Everything got shittier. Shinier, faster, dumber, more locked down and shittier. And the enshittification is just going to accelerate until people straight up reject it, then it'll pause for 6 months to a year and start up again.
Hard to say for certain, per a recent AP report, privacy laws protect the info of which private companies specifically are using prison labor at any given time in several states.
No, I was genuinely guessing at what you were getting at, since you were alluding to one particular unnamed nation that relies heavily on slave labor. IDK if you opened that article, but it's from last month and is a major report by the AP, so US slave labor's been on my mind because I read the news.
You then seemingly got annoyed at my guess and decided it was some sort of debate. I pointed out why my guess was reasonable and now you're trying to take a victory lap because I apparently annoyed you by not being a goddamn mind reader.
Seriously, you're acting like I'm the one with the attitude here and all I've done is reflect yours back to you in one comment because you acted like I don't know what slavery is. But I'm the one being an asshole?

IMO, if you want the beast deals right now on a 12+ TB HDD, you should use serverpartdeals.com instead. I've got 2 manufacturer recertified 14 TB enterprise-grade drives from them and it was way cheaper than buying any 14 TB external drive.
Back when they first got really insanely famous due to Guitar Hero III, a lot of people thought their music was fake.
They were called studioforce by guitarists who felt threatened by their inability to play TTFAF, and those same haters justified their hate by pointing out that the band themselves frequently couldn't play it live.
This was due in part to the band still having a janky live setup at the time, in part due to their singer not sounding as good live (when they switched singers to Mark it made a big difference for their live shows IMO), and of course because Sam and to a lesser extent Herman would drink excessively before playing a lot of nights, leading to lots of recordings of their sloppy drunk shredding being uploaded to YouTube.
But mostly, I would argue, the hate came from people who dislike new things. They tried to invalidate the band's obvious technical prowess as a way to disregard their (at the time) relatively innovative sounds.
You see that a lot in the guitar community. Anything new or that doesn't fit a traditional, pre-existing mold is dismissed as inferior. Anything non-traditional and obviously skillful tends to draw hate from those same people.
Now that Dragonforce has been around for a good long while, the traditionalists have had time to adjust and Dragonforce has had their live act consistently together for well over a decade, the hate has largely died down.
It also helps, IMO, that Herman Li does regular livestreams so people can see that he's a relatively down to earth guy, especially for someone with a giant wall of guitars in his house and a collection of high end sports cars.
That and the whole "they recorded their parts slower and sped them up" thing
Your comment reads like this is a fact about them and something they've owned up to. It isn't true and they've consistently said as much. They record at the speed the song plays at.
That's the hate they got from within the metal community. I'm talking about the hate they got from the guitar community in general, which at the time was maybe 90% blues rock dads.

Fortunately our sun isn't big enough to go supernova. It'd just go nova. But also, the iron in a few thousand people's blood probably isn't enough to get down to the center of the sun within the timescale humans are likely to exist on.
Agreed. It's also worth noting that '97 is basically an uncensored version of the OG, so like in the old show Wolverine never gets to knife anyone who bleeds with his claws. In '97 he can
I am currently using an old laptop (circa 2015) with a 250GB SSD in it, and 4GB of RAM.

There is only 15GB of storage left on it, and the CPU is constantly overloaded (due to forced transcoding). I...
They're still mounted individually, so you do RAID5 or ZRAID on them, same as if they were internal. You can potentially be bandwidth-limited since USB 3.0 has a 5 Gbps speed limit, but realistically only for reads and you're still fine in terms of overall performance since they're all spinning disks anyhow and 5Gbps is fast enough for any media server/NAS unless you've got a 10-gig LAN/internet connection and feel the compulsive need to saturate it.
You can easily do smooth 4K HDR transcoding with any modern Intel CPU with integrated graphics.
I have an Intel N100 and it can probably handle 2-3 4K HDR transcodes at once. Definitely more if they're being transcoded down to lower resolutions. Encoding is the most intensive part of the process.
I use QSV hardware acceleration with Low Power h264 and HEVC encoders enabled, plus VPP tonemapping on Jellyfin. I have Prefer OS Native DXVA or VA-API decoders checked (apparently this is needed for VPP tonemapping) and also Enable Tone mapping checked so it can fallback onto OpenCL if VPP doesn't work. Thread count set to Auto. Preset is set to medium. h265 encoding CRF of 25, h264 encoding CRF of 23 and I have Throttle transcodes enabled, which seems to increase the number of videos I can have transcoding at once due to not transcoding more than necessary whenever a player has enough buffer for the moment.
This is on the latest Jellyfin linuxserver.io container with the OpenCL-Intel docker mod.
Also, not sure if this is a factor but I've got 16 GB of single channel RAM on it and I use a USB-mounted SSD for my cache and transcode folders. In the past I ran into bandwidth issues by having my transcodes be on the same drive as my media.
I get 4K HDR to 4K SDR tonemapping plus 7.1 Dolby TrueHD to 2.0 AAC transcoding at 70-75fps with my setup.
Transcoding of 4K down to lower resolutions is even faster. 4K HDR to 480p SDR runs at 191fps.
I took a look at the benchmark script those results are from and compared them to the ffmpeg commands auto-generated by my Jellyfin server for actual transcodes.
Here's how the command to transcode a 4K HDR 10 bit HEVC with 7.1 AAC audio to 4K SDR h264 with 2.0 AAC audio looks on my machine:
So I'm gonna go out on a limb and say there's a major difference in configuration between the two. Setting global_quality to 18 is kind of absurdly high quality for hardware h265 encoding. You can easily get away with 28 for "good enough". My setting of 25 for the CRF of h265 encoding is already edging into placebo territory for most videos. That's all without considering the impact of low power mode, extra_hw_frames, etc.
The transcodes folder exists by default and the cleanup defaults to daily, I think. You'd only need to mess with the configuration for transcode caching if you want them to stick around for longer
