The wishing they weren’t a specialist is so real. I wish my psychiatrist was also my GP and my therapist. I’ve found out through her about diagnoses that are in my chart that nobody ever bothered to tell me about and that I overlooked in there, as well as about off label medication uses that you mentioned and medication or illness interactions I never would’ve guessed. Outside her domain too, e.g. between my thyroid meds and ibuprofen. All the GPs I’ve ever been to are either jaded, refuse to learn or admit you might know something they dont, or don’t take you seriously.

I make it a point to adopt some of my grandpa’s lingo. Funnily enough my 18-20 year old students can smell 30yo slang from a mile away and will point out it ages me, but they’ve never said anything about the random 50s teenage slang I incorporate.

Yeah I’ve since googled it too! The fact that the symptoms are something where it’s obvious there’s something severely wrong and that it’s treatable in hospital reassured me, too. I’ve also realised that it’s similar to toxic shock from a tampon, which I never worry about, but am glad to know is a small possibility. Sorry to worry you/gross you out though!

Beyond skin infections, what happens when they enter your bloodstream? Id figure that’d happen with a broken hemorrhoid, since it’s basically and open wound that poop just sits on all day

With how unessecarily smug you were being, I honestly wasn’t sure.

A brand written on a product is an ad. Let alone the ads everywhere in public. Acknowledgimg that you’re seeing an ad makes you less likely to be sub consciously influenced (‘brand awareness’). Pretending you’re immune might make you more susceptible.

Somehow my app won’t let me paste a link, sorry. But for most of your working years, you’re most likely to die by unintional injury:

And that’s just death that we’re talking about. Youre in danger of non lethal injury, too.

Great news, traffic deaths are no more because most victims die in the hospital instead of at the site of the accident. Fear hospitals, not traffic.

Thanks a lot! I’ll try to figure it out myself first, and might get back to you if the need arises!

To be very honest, I’m also a tad embarrassed to share my code. I guess I’ll ask my professor about this.

I’m sorry to tell you this but people do not, in fact, publish mathematical proofs on GitHub routinely. You publish them on arxive once the paper is done. And then in a journal. The solvers themselves aren’t even what it’s about at all, they’re just to do numerical experiments with to have some examples. They aren’t immediately useful for any applications outside niche research.

Because I’m in academia and it’s a slow process to get things published in a way that ‘counts’ to the university and scientific community. I often need to implement stuff first to check a few things, whether it’s viable etc.

Nobody has built a tool that executes a mathematical method that I have developed or at least adapted, at least not before I publish the method.

It’s so old that it was for purposes of saving memory.

I’m not a coder, but my job requires a bunch of menial, boring coding. I do numerical simulations. After mathematically understanding the numerical method, it’s basically half a step above data entry. There’s also a bunch of legacy fortran code I have to build on that has zero documentation and three letter variables. This would be one of the few actually good applications of text generating machine learning imo.

You’re not buying any of this yourself, are you?

Ok, just in case there’s a chance for you to be good faith. The above comment was a reply to a post about there being a lot of pro china and pro Russia propaganda being on Lemmy. It implied that the only way you can be against china and/or Russia is if you’ve fallen for western propaganda. This is a very clear fallacy, as being critical of china and/or Russia does not imply that you aren’t also critical of the west. There’s no conspiracy going on where everyone agreed to comment the same stuff, but if the same fallacy gets repeated over and over, multiple people will independently see it for what it is and call it out.

Do you folks not know that two things can be bad at the same time

For me it’s that when I drink 3L of water over the course of 16h, the dehydration after 8 hours of not drinking is such a stark difference that it’s uncomfortable.
