Also in Asterisk: an interesting article about the history of the DSM-5, and its critics.
> The psychoanalyst Nancy McWilliams captures this concern with unusual clarity in her 2021 essay “Diagnosis and Its Discontents.” She reflects on a shift that began with the release of DSM-III, when psychiatry embraced a more descriptive, symptom-based diagnostic model. The change, she notes, quietly restructured how people speak about themselves in therapy. Once, a client might enter the roo…

I purchased some #Bambu filament refills and am struggling. I got them on the spool without any issues, and then used the one visible filament end (which is bent 90 degrees at the end, to make it easier to find I assume?). But the filament immediately pulls below the spooled-up part, which massively increases friction and leads to my printer being unable to pull it in, the spool wobbling while be…

Interesting thread to get a first-hand account on the current state of LLMs for assisting US tax filings, even in complex situations. tl;dr: Very helpful for a sophisticated user that can check the output.
Another point towards my very narrow defense of LLMs, i.e., feel free to dislike LLMs for many good reasons, but please don't call them useless.

So October 15th, the extended US tax deadline, is just around the corner, and I have some observations which are more about LLM progress than taxes. Background: many people professionally involved with LLMs estimate 2026-2028 as the year where one can get an LLM to "do taxes."

A few days ago I retooted a post about allegations of fraudulent / illegal behavior of a food delivery app (link to post: https://thepit.social/@peter/115824339431975101)
