~~yes by 4 months. If I had AD i wouldn't bother with those treatments.~~ Sorry I missed the context you are right the fact that they slow AD by 4 months is a proof that amyloid plaques are part of the pathogenesis.

you got nsaids, metamizole, acetoaminophen, duolexitine. And you got a couple of more that work for neuropathic pain. The biggest problem with nsaids is that they cause bleeding and kidney failure, ulcers hence can cause stomach cancer.

Here is a site you can use too see how most pharmaco therapy is lacking.

I prefer tui's for two reasons. 1. Very used to vi keybindings 2. I like low resources software. I love the ability to open the software in less than a second in a second do what I needed using vi motions. And close it less than a second.

Some people will be like you save two seconds trying to do something simple. You lose more time building the tool than you will use it in your life.

It's not about saving time. It's about eliminating the mental toll from having to context switch(i know it sounds ai, reading so much ai text has gotten to me)

You can go wrong in two axes.

1. The interpertation 2. The execution

he means the second way, he didn't notice any english grammar mistakes or unnaturalness.

It's like how good translators make Donald Trump sound smarter.

How would you go about it. Let's say I want to learn how to do x in library y. How am I gonna find x. When library y has it's own idiosyncraties. In the library the concept is named differently so searching through the documentation yields nothing. Let's say you find what you are looking for. You read the documentation. And it makes no sense like if I was learning haskell and I searched for a monad and got "a monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors". It's a ineficient process.

Documentation is the most helpful when you already know something and want to learn the specifics. Or when you are already using something and have an issue and want to figure out why.

EDIT: Another issue I just came up. Structure is very important. It's good to know how to sum before how to multiply. It's so important having a hand crafted pathway leads to rapid success like MathAcademy does.

Documentation is not meant for learning. It's to be used as a reference. It's like learning medicine by reading a medical dictionary.

BS. Everything I learned from college was me anki and youtube. Lectures were wasting me time from actually studying. Most people I talked to they said. They didn't follow the lecturer at all just sat there like me for the attendence. There is no reason why we should continue to have mandatory lectures when you can just record them like Gilbert Strang did.

I remember pasting a lot of text in vim. And waiting for all of it to be rendered. In helix it's instant. Things could have changed since then. I am talking about no later than 2023

Muvasa — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 06:55:42 +0000

I actually do this. I put urls and files in a text file. Which I parse with rofi. The reason why I do this is so I can just open rofi with a shortcut and type out the name of the file or url and instantly open it.

park chess players gamble. Going to a chess tournament with a prize pool and paying an entry fee is gambling. In germany magic the gathering tournaments are banned since they are deemed as gambling.

It's kinda disgusting that people have such a visceral reaction.

A lot of starcraft players transitioned to Poker. Because both games require decision making in a system with incomplete information(like real life). That's why parents should teach their kids how to play poker. Otherwise they risk going by in life without critical cognitive skills.

i've learned entire math topics calc 1, calc2, calc3, statistics, linear algebra with anki. It's really easy. Just add the parctice problems at the end of the chapter to the front and the answer on the back.
