On the 10th of December 2024 at about 4pm in the afternoon I had a sudden shivering attack. The room wasn't cold, but I was, so I took to bed and shivered on the electric blanket until I napped for a few hours.
Woke up groggy, and never got better. Feeling light headed and occasionally dizzy and half stoned all the time. Can't handle booze or dope at all any more. Doing the job feels like trying to program drunk, concentration shot and short term memory failing.
Various doctors have ordered batteries of tests and put me on drugs to reduce my blood pressure but nothing that's really helped.
They did an MRI last week. Apparently everything looks normal which is good I guess, but still leaves symptoms unexplained.
There are worse fates than feeling half drunk all the time I suppose.
Given no visible brain damage, about the best suggestion anyone has is to stay off booze and drugs (which is easy, since I can't handle them any more) and get back to meditation. If it's damage so small the MRI can't pick it up it'll get better slowly probably. 🤷
Anyway, they gave me the MRI data upon request, so I spent most of yesterday importing it into Blender and making some visualization.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present: My apparently completely normal brain in an MRI selfie.

Immer wenn ich lese "Kein Backup, kein Mitleid." muss ich mit dem Kopf schütteln. Hier ist nicht nur das "ob" (also warum man Backups machen muss) etwas das IMMER WIEDER erklärt werden muss, Auch das "wie", gerade das "wie", omg ist das "wie" wichtig!
aber abgesehen davon, nur weil man Jahrzehnte in einem Bereich tätig ist, geht ein Thema nicht weg, denn es haben mit der Zeit eben nicht alle verstanden. Muss mich da auch an eigene Nase…

P.S. Hat tip to @… for the radium reference. He was talking about other things (https://pluralistic.net/2024/09/19/just-stop-putting-that-up-your-ass/#harm-reduction), but the whole vibe of that “Radium will magically restore you to health!” era is by far the best historical comparison I’ve found for the current froth-mouthed AI hype.

In his response to Geoffrey Hinton on X, "That said, what specific actions require correction? I will make mistakes, but endeavor to fix them fast."
What does the evidence show on the pace of global heating and the causal role of burning fossil fuels?
Does the US public data and funded science come back online "fast"?

@rustaceans@mastodon.social Here's my take on the challenge from issue 62!
@… Didn't benchmark or anything, but the algo only goes over the list once to sort it (worst case `O(n * log(n))`) and then once to merge the ranges (`O(n)`).
