If you have depression anxiety and find that Prozac (an ssri) doesnt work well, you might consider something that directly works on dopamine - like Buproprion (brand name = wellbutrin, a NDRI, norepinephrine dopamine reuptake inhibitor).

We do. The machines print a paper ballot. The ballot is recorded electronically as well, but the ballot is inserted by the voter into a locked container.

The thing is, we don't always count the paper ballots by hand. We only do manual counts if the race in a particular voting district is very close.

There were a lot of districts that voted for Trump in numbers just large enough to avoid these manual recounts. A suspicious amount, some might say.

Yep. Important to not assume the election was fraudulent. But there is a case filed to interrogate some anomalous results in at least some districts. It's definitely possible that foul play was involved.

Some reasons to suspect foul play:

No it's actually a type of large automobile, a sport utility vehicle

Wait are you telling me I can't shoot down an AH64 Apache attack helicopter with my AR15? I even modded it to look extra cool though

There's a cloudflare outage happening now. It's affecting basically everyone at my job. Idk how widespread it is

This could be a good use of AI. Since this regime is doing it, and since some of their claims are pretty unrealistic, it probably won't be. But, ML has been used for a while to help identify new drug compounds, find interactions, etc. It could be very useful in the FDA's work - I'm honestly surprised to hear that they're only just now considering using it.

The Four Thieves Vinegar Collective uses some software from MIT ASKCOS that uses neural networks to help identify reactions and retrosynthesis chains to produce chemical compounds using cheap, homemade bioreactors. Famously, they are doing this to make mifepristone available for people in areas of the US without access to abortion care.

You can check it out here. It's a good example of a very positive use-case for an AI/ML tool in medicine.

Disregarding the /s bc i want to rant

I guess if you described board states in language and got them to recognize chess board states from images (by describing them in language), and trained them on real games, you could probably make a really inefficient chess bot.

But that said, you could use an "agentic" model with an mcp to route queries about chess to an api that links the LLM to an actual chess bot.

Then it'd just be like going to the chess bot website and entering the board states to get the next move. No magic involved, just automated interaction with an api. The hype and fear and mysticism around llms bugs me. The concepts behind how they work aren't hard, just convoluted
