2025-01-02 18:36:21 @bryan_johnson A true Don’t Die ideology would require relentless focus on stopping the spread of COVID. I say this as someone who went from a fit mountain biker to totally disabled at 38 as a result of a single COVID infection.

2025-01-02 02:14:18 @Shon I tried betahistine very briefly in September and it seemed to make my Meniere’s symptoms worse, but it’s hard to tell with a fluctuating disease. Since I might have MCAS I’m nervous about betahistine’s effect on histamine synthesis in the CNS

2025-01-01 01:34:48 @Shon I still have not found a way to stabilize my Ménière’s disease. I still have serious trouble with insomnia, partly due to having to sleep sitting up for Ménière’s disease. This research looks good, but won’t be available as a treatment for me any time soon.

2024-12-27 05:19:46 @chitrader99 @GwenCheni Diagnosis by exclusion/ clinical judgement of my doctors, with the fluctuating audiograms being the most important piece of evidence

2024-12-15 00:28:52 @maier_ak @FreakyAvatar @SchmidhuberAI We actually did cite the paper that Juergen asked us to cite, from the very first NeurIPS camera ready version of the paper.

2024-12-15 00:27:15 @painted_now @SchmidhuberAI We actually did cite the paper that Juergen asked us to cite, and NeurIPS camera ready papers can’t be revised years later.

2024-12-14 17:49:07 @jeffdaniels I would prefer not to keep doing this, but Schmidhuber made a post accusing me of plagiarism yesterday. There’s no academic court where I can be tried and found guilty/ not guilty once and for all, though the opinion of the NeurIPS organizers should be clear.

2024-12-14 04:23:44 @guintherk I would argue Schmidhuber is taking credit away from the work that we actually built on. Everyone is aware of Schmidhuber’s accusations, few are aware I spent a significant amount of time working on NCE and talking with its authors.

2024-12-14 04:01:55 @BhaktaVee The video of him interrupting my 2016 talk is also public, and you don’t have to take my word for it that that’s him. He doesn’t mention artificial curiosity, just predictability minimization.

2024-12-13 22:24:51 Congratulations to @dwf for a great talk. I thought he did a great job of giving credit to all the lab members that made GANs possible and describing how LISA was the right environment to create them as well as summarizing the impact they had after publication.

2024-12-13 22:24:50 I would love to be at NeurIPS but am not because I am disabled by Long COVID. Long COVID is a common disease affecting at least 400 million people worldwide. It can happen on your first infection or on a repeat infection.

2024-12-13 22:24:49 Today GANs got 1 of 2 test of time awards at @NeurIPSConf . Many thanks to my co-author @dwf for preparing and presenting the talk. It’s no easy task to summarize 85k papers in 12 minutes

2024-12-12 01:32:46 Another more specific way people can help: does anyone know if it’s safe to take betahistine if I have MCAS? And does taking antihistamines make betahistine ineffective? https://t.co/NiWBcyktUZ

2024-12-10 01:29:33 @sucholutsky I don’t have any firsthand experience with doctors for Meniere’s outside California, but in the northeast US I happen to have heard good things about Michael Teixido in Delaware. You can probably find someone closer to you though.

2024-12-08 21:13:12 @sucholutsky I didn’t have any significant fluctuations of hearing or new permanent hearing loss for seven months after getting this protocol together until getting POTS. With POTS and under dosing the diuretic the loss is slow but I can’t put my head down

2024-12-08 19:01:32 @sucholutsky Before I got POTS, 1500mg sodium/day diet + 37.5-25 dyazide + 100mg topamax controlled it very well

2024-12-07 17:20:26 I’ll add what I’ve tried here, let’s try to get critical mass https://t.co/xrjskVkbxX

2024-12-05 00:48:38 @sherjilozair From there I started asking around if anyone in the lab knew game theory well enough to attempt an analysis of the algorithm I had intuited, and fortunately Jean was there

2024-12-05 00:47:27 @sherjilozair One of the craziest pieces of luck in this whole story was that Jean was there. Jean was an intern and had a background in game theory. None of the rest of us did. I knew enough from Tim Roughgarden’s optimization class that this was a game theory problem.

2024-12-05 00:33:26 @sherjilozair @dwf It amused me more than once that it was important to know convex analysis in LISA lab even though deep learning people at the time tended to regard anything convex as “the other faction.” The Boyd book chapter 2 served me well more than once

2024-12-05 00:31:08 @sherjilozair Another big step at this part of the story was moving from a more complicated proof based on functional derivatives to the simpler one based on convexity of KL divergences that we published. @dwf contributed this final step

2024-12-03 21:47:01 @howdataworks GANs was kind of late in the game for me! I had already handed in my thesis, and by that time deep learning was basically working. I really enjoyed the intellectual atmosphere of ~2009-2012 when deep learning didn't really work and all bets were open, solving it was a mystery.

2024-12-02 21:51:21 @BoyntonBrian OK yeah agreed. I’ve been on the low salt diet since before I got POTS and am sticking with it, for the diuretic I switched from dyazide to acetazolamide and am taking the highest dose I can handle, but this still is not enough.

2024-12-02 21:49:59 @BoyntonBrian @138__Actual Yeah I made that mistake once early on, and since then make sure I have a clear plan for how to stick to my sodium diet while traveling. Temptation isn’t the issue, it’s the availability of safe food, but I do things like carry instant meal powder etc.

2024-12-02 21:47:01 @BoyntonBrian It’s hard to know when Meniere’s started but it was causing obvious hearing loss by March 2023. Since it was gradual no obvious preceding cause. Suddenly worsened by a Feb 2023 head injury but it was there before. POTS started after COVID in Aug 2024.

2024-12-02 01:26:12 @BoyntonBrian I am on perfect compliance with the sodium diet. With the diuretic that was enough to stabilize my hearing. With a reduced diuretic dose for POTS, I'm losing hearing. Why do you say to avoid the diuretic?

2024-11-28 05:22:33 @ariccio @cjmaddison got the best paper award at NeurIPS 2014 and my paper that year got one of the test of time awards ten years later. We both got long COVID.

2024-11-25 20:33:12 @ledell Thanks. Yes I’m a patient of CCD. They’re experts on the POTS side but not the Meniere’s side, trying to bridge the gap.

2024-11-25 18:17:28 @smegheart Yeah, I have socks + tights + abdominal binder. Like a full set bonus in Diablo II

2024-11-25 05:18:10 @Shon How do you get access to either one?

2024-11-25 05:12:24 @vRobM I’m open minded, if anyone’s had success with that, even for just Meniere’s w/o POTS, I’d be interested in hearing what they did

2024-08-16 17:03:02 @drfangirlphd You know how for a rapid test you have to put 3-6 drops of test solution into a card? For PlusLife there are lines showing you how much to fill up the card and you have to go above the bottom line, below the top line. That’s the only hard-ish part.

2024-08-13 17:58:37 @ChrSzegedy Where are you seeing that specified? Even if restricted to infusions, those are still important use cases, e.g. for people who can’t absorb B12 by digestion.

2024-08-13 16:14:38 @proales Then do that. This is banning them without making a regulated version available.

2024-06-19 17:38:22 @AlexGDimakis I haven’t read the paper but I think the basic idea is that the shots that hit the target tend to be in the mode of the distribution and the shots that miss tend to be in the tails of the distribution, so low temperature sampling discards more bad moves than good

2024-06-19 15:15:53 @Samhanknr @AlexGDimakis That’s not literally the idea in the paper just an intuition builder. The paper is more about how you can get a similar effect via low temperature sampling
