That was me. I complained a lot about meetings, design docs, etc. I did not understand that the process of discovery is messy and what looks inefficient is not really. I expected sharper meetings, shorter docs etc. In retrospect I see my naivety but it took me too long to change my attitude.
Same with household appliances. Most of the familiar names are shadows of their former selves. Unlike in clothes though the quality alternatives are usually really expensive.
It took about 8-10 hours for me on a 192GB Hetzner cloud machine. The resulting index was just 18GB, so once the index is created it's really efficient and you can easily run it on a small VM.
It's perfectly fine to run your English text through an LLM if you're not sure about grammar/spelling. That's also how you learn to improve.
Your post is comprehensible but has multiple mistakes and they are a distraction (which is fine in this context, but in other contexts it might hinder communication).
some people call moles an ugly disfiguration and would agree that having moles excised is the best idea.
some other people call moles a beauty spot and feel a genuine affection towards such aysmmetries.
theres a time and a place for everything. taking a look at the topic that the thread is discussing, and taking a look at the positive emotion in the comment that you responded to ...... well im not gonna argue that youre wrong per se ...
There are at least 8 stories here on HN about this and none of them gained traction. To me this is mind-blowing, even if it's not a full cure. I would really like more color commentary from actual researchers in the domain.
There's an option which doesn't involve drinking any yucky fluids, just water. SuTab. You have two rounds of twelve pills that you drink with three cups of water at various intervals.
I've done it enough times that I'm totally fine with it: the electrolyte drink tastes like slightly bad-tasting Gatorade, which is hardly worth caring about.
And you get diarrhea-like bathroom runs half a dozen times maybe.
Yes it was annoying to get the runs and gross to drink the stuff the first few times, but people eat things like cow tongue or live octopus or whatever... I can handle some bad-tasting Gatorade and some diarrhea just fine, especially given the 5 years of peace-of-mind it buys me afterward.
People react differently. I took the same prep but the waves of nausea and cramping were so intensely painful I sweat through all my clothes and passed out on the toilet. It was some of the worst hours of my life. I’m just over 40 and have some symptoms to check which turned out to be benign, but it was such a harrowing experience I will be doing this as infrequently as possible.
Same thing happened to a family member. Dunno why the effect is so variable- I guessed it was more of a mental / expectations thing initially than a direct physical response. I see now I was probably wrong.
I had a colonoscopy + upper endocoscopy a few months ago, age 29.
The prep was horrible, particularly the electrolyte drink they make you take the night before. I almost puked several times trying to get that stuff down.
Actual procedure was a breeze. I was sedated, and then I woke up and it was over.
