And since I just came across this, talks about the hardware behind what the biggest companies are using to train the big models like ChatGPT:

Uh, well, looks like I was mostly thinking of the biggest companies without a thought for all the smaller players that can't afford the big machines. Those are also available in limited quantities. Turns out lots of them are buying GPUs and putting them to good use...

Ah, someone just looked at PACE and did a copy-paste. APT isn't even a thing. Relaxation obviously isn't a treatment. This is nonsense.

So what does it say that those are all pretty much the same old hypotheses that never seem to produce actionable results. They do seem like the explanations, all of them, some of them, one of them, varying between people, but it's a comment we see often on the forum, that it's always the same...

All credit to @Trish for giving me the motivation to do it. There's something about seeing other people here try that makes it easier, makes it seem more valuable.

No. Things are not "promising" for decades after they've been put into standard clinical use, with widespread adoption in guidelines in many countries. This is completely ridiculous. Get out of here with this crap. It's not. It's based on a biopsychosocial model that posits "unhelpful illness...

For what it's worth, I submitted a response yesterday. I focused on the roundtable, other institutions agreeing with the low quality and unfitness of evidence, and the fact that NICE rejects all the accusations. Maybe we should have a thread with multiple responses if they don't get published...

They do have a history of hyperbole. They framed a few inoffensive comments on twitter as "harassment" in the Reuters hit piece, then later admitted that it doesn't even bother then, that what they don't like is simply that we counter their BS officially and that they have no argument against it...

Bitcoin-type mining (there are thousands of those) use cheap GPUs, not really fit for that. AI training uses chips built on the same principle as graphics cards (actually, if it wasn't for video games, there wouldn't even be AI happening right now, amazing story) but they're not individual...

Tweedle Dee can't do that, but Tweedle Dum can. Very serious organization.

It's seriously cringe to read stuff like this in academic literature. Is this really the best these people can do? This is barely business consultant level of winging it. They're basically admitting that they make recommendations without any basis, just a "uh, try this, I guess?" Will they at...

Saw someone with a list of RECOVER trials so this is convenient, although not super encouraging: Viral persistence Paxlovid (currently starting and busy recruiting) Brain fog home-based transcranial direct current stimulation developed by Soterix Medica (starting in 2-3 weeks) Sleep issues...

Biden administration announces launch of HHS office focused on long Covid research https://edition.cnn.com/2023/07/31/health/long-covid-research-office/index.html On Monday, HHS announced the formation of the Office of Long COVID Research and Practice to lead the federal government’s response...

Unfortunately, our country’s (lack of) response to long COVID is not surprising, as we have a dark history of neglecting chronic conditions, particularly those that are more common in women. For example, myalgic encephalomyelitis (sometimes referred to as chronic fatigue syndrome) has been...

This is simply asinine. It's like having as the universal answer to poverty that poor people should just buy some money. With their lack of money. Yet again, something that children can easily understand. There's some kind of very weird pattern happening here, where people just straight up...

Although we were assured by very serious experts in the field that there is no relation at all between fatigue and functioning. Oddly enough. Again, something that children can easily see through. How weird.

Illness, so complicated. Well, for some adults, I guess. Children understand this easily.

They speak of promising results, and yet dispense those routinely to thousands per year, where they "explain" the etiology, including their behavioral stuff which "can target"... whatever. Just "can". Ridiculous. They use this stuff on real human beings, on the basis of "hey, there's no evidence...

Microglial Priming in Infections and Its Risk to Neurodegenerative Diseases https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fncel.2022.878987/full Infectious diseases of different etiologies have been associated with acute and long-term neurological consequences. The primary cause of these...

:rolleyes: I've seen several reports of this.
