There are a bunch of weirdos who've dived off into the deep end and even most LLM users think they're spouting incomprehensible nonsense

As the name DFS implies, it's supposed to hop to a different frequency when it detects radar...

NHS standard protocol for feminizing HRT in adults is to titrate up to 4mg estradiol/day and in the likely event that testosterone is still high then to introduce a GnRH agonist.

So blockers are not introduced first and monotherapy is tried just not very hard

The NHS is right to use them for this purpose and it does us no favours to ignore this particular area where the NHS has been world leading for quite a number of years.

GNRH Agonists are the near* best treatment for endogenous hormone suppression. For anyone who does not achieve sufficient suppression with monotherapy they are by far the best option.

(*Antagonists are best, but typically fantastically expensive)

That's a tad weird because the drugs known as "puberty blockers" are a part of the standard adult hormone regime the NHS and most of the UK uses...

Persona 5 (2016)

I wish this were so uniform but in Germany there is no obligation to report and more importantly *no safe harbour for reporting* so the safest legal option is to just delete.

If there's a failure it's that too many potatoes were produced, but sometimes that's the price of food security.

"The order was financially settled, but the potatoes were left in storage" - the farmer got paid for them but the trader couldn't find a buyer. Actually in some ways this is a capitalism success - the trader took on the risk (instead of the farmer) and ended up eating the loss.

finding good ones can be difficult, but i pretty reliably find them in Rossman?

nothing happens (basically)

though if its nato member on nato member its probably the equivalent of a constitutional crisis.

It feels kinda strange that we had to get this effect this way. There are some not terrible underlying reasons though.

QMS-VRR is only really available on a modern high end TVs and displays

"Changing 'actual' refresh rates is too hard so just use variable refresh rate mode instead" is such a silly hack

No good reason it's quite that slow though. It's very funny that the AppleTV works around this problem by using "QMS-VRR", which means "send the TV a HDR signal at panel native res & max refresh rate, do scaling & colour conversion on the AppleTV for lower resolutions/SDR, and use VRR for <120fps"

* Hardware detects monitor
* Software slowly probes it and configures CRTC
* Monitor hardware detects signal
* Monitor locks PLL to pixel clock
* Monitor works out new resolution (counts pixels)
* Monitor reconfigures its input circuitry & scaler
* Image appears

LMAO the British constitituion is basically three words: "Parliament is Sovereign", supplementarily: "nothing can bind Parliament, including Parliament itself"

<laughs in British> What's a constitution?

how on earth do other nfs3 servers work with this?

ADHD: Private clinics exposed by BBC undercover investigation An undercover journalist for Panorama is diagnosed and given drugs without proper checks.

don't worry this isn't even the UK's first rodeo at this

From two years ago, BBC Panorama was at it: www.bbc.com/news/health-...

The European Court of Human Rights is a part of the Council of Europe, an institution wholly unrelated to the European Union except for that being a CoE member and ECHR signatory is a prerequisite for EU membership

"Consequently, it must be held that [Defendant] exerted influence, for its own purposes, over the publication on the internet of the personal data of the applicant [..] and therefore participated in the determination of the purposes of that publication and thus of the processing at issue."

"[Defendant] reserves the right to use published content, distribute it, transmit it, reproduce it, modify it, translate it, transfer it to partners and remove it at any time, without the need for any ‘valid’ reason for so doing"

It's subtle, but Paragraph 67 of the decision appears to be the lynchpin here - the decision is basically 'you can't claim to be a mere conduit _and_ also claim editorial rights over user submissions'

It appears that the T&Cs were the deciding factor here: that Russmedia claimed right of modification, reproduction, et al meant it could not be considered a mere conduit.

Its a very interesting ruling in some ways because it makes specific references to Article 14 and 15 of Directive 2000/31 which were repealed after the events being litigated but before the ruling in question was handed down

at the same time sometimes that code does exist and you gotta maintain it. and it's not liek people didn't churn out pages of repetitive code in the days before LLMs either *sigh*

hmm, for boilerplate we alread had templating tools to stamp that out... and i've always done my best to just eliminate it and replace it with libraries.

a lot of the time I see people doing LLM evangelism and I'm like "great, you automated the writing of boilerplate code that shouldn't exist"

(ideal solution of course is to make those tests not so fragile, but that's not always a choice *you* get to make)

Hmm. to me "the drudgery" sort of implies doing large amounts of work that carries no challenge or intellectual engagement. The example that comes to mind is adding a field to hundreds of unit tests a change introducing it has broken
