My government name is Mack Gallagher. Crocker's Rules. I am an "underfunded" "alignment" "researcher". DM me if you'd like to fund my posts, or my project.
I post some of my less-varnished opinions on my Substack.
I should have said, I'd known about fecal transplants being miracle cures per se, that was the main reason I'd been able to come up with that hypothesis for why drinking raw ACV worked better than drinking distilled vinegar.
It just seemed like a non-obvious [ though valid ] inference to make, and I'd been wondering if I'd missed an existing nasal microbiome or general tissue microbiome literature.
But I guess you just had a sensible idea.
! This actually makes a GREAT deal of sense since learning that raw apple cider vinegar contains its own biofilm, which probably accounts for some of how it colloquially helps alleviate insulin resistance [ Horiguti found in 1975 that mechanical nasopharyngeal abrasion restored insulin response in diabetics ].
How did you learn of this class of problem?
Talk with rural healers who are doing this now out of necessity. Basically you just want to hit it with as much crap as you can. You may need a lot of crap. There may be fungal involvement, in the nasopharynx as well as the skin [it being known on the skin, though not to what degree], who knows. Pasteurized and distilled vinegar won't give you brain-eating amoebas used as a nasal rinse, and the acetic acid will still help. But raw ACV likely works better than white vinegar for passive nasopharyngeal abrasion in prediabetics because it's composed of acetic acid and acetic acid-producing biofilm. Rinse [Neilmed, $12 rinse kit] with [distilled vinegar]-spiked saline, gargle with raw ACV [$1-$5]. The biofilm will try to rebound within hours like it did with the garlic nasal spray, so however you have to, make sure you can keep rinsing.* Wash your tympana with sterile mupirocin-dosed water too, it may drain through the nasopharyngeal mucosa again. There are non-medically-regulated topical biofilm-busters you can get; they may all be too expensive.
*Unless the vinegar does nothing, in which case you'll have to try the garlic again and probably start looking at obtaining some weirder substances.
Then you can do EAT with disposable plastic nasopharyngeal swabs. You will need to do more odd jobs to obtain the swabs. Use the cheapest substances Horiguti claimed in 1975 were equivalent to zinc, and then everyone forgot about for 50 years because zinc was what he'd happened to have on hand.
This person had permanent good results from garlic, so you probably want to get more [because it's cheap], keep some on hand and if you can make a purée for EAT [less risky than nasal spray and it's not worth getting time with a food processor for merely the expected benefits of gargling].
The first step is to get used to rinsing with sterile saline. It is safe!!! Don't let it touch tap water!!! I believe in you!!
All of the above is unless [ reddit user /u/asillybunny ] responds to you, in which case do whatever reddit user /u/asillybunny says.
I see you skimmed. I have exhausted my options for adult ID specialists in the area except for one, with whom I am on a long waiting list and from whom I don't have reason to expect much attention. And I'm already using mupirocin for nasal and skin decolonization. The persisters are just too numerous and fast without disruption of the main reservoir. But thanks for the link anyway.
I just meant, reducing in their AIs the property which you postulate is the primary advantage of AI over human labor.
Whatever happened to holding software companies to the standard of not rolling vulnerable user data into their widely distributed business logic?
Say AI companies could effectively make copying hard enough to provide security benefits to scrape-ees [ if I'm reading you right, that's approximately who you're trying to protect ]. Say also that this "easy-to-copy" property of AIs, is "the fundamental" thing expected increase the demand for AI labor relative to human labor. . . . Hard-alignment-problem-complete problem specification, no?
Oh gosh, how irksome if Magic neurotypes its players like that.
Sirlin writes only of denial of one's weakness, not of a "need to lose".
. . . Wow, if that Rizzo piece is representative of how channer bicamerals were handling their internal conflicts before Ziz, I understand Ziz a little better.
Isn't losing just what you need to do to increase your ability to win? Other than the elements of what Rizzo writes about that are obviously just the activation of simian instincts to end a conflict by submitting, that is [ which is a lot of it ].
In the rate-limiting resource, housing, the poor have indeed gotten poorer. Treating USD as a wealth primitive [ not to mention treating "demand" as a game-theoretic primitive ] is an economist-brained error.
I was talking with some people yesterday whom I accused of competing to espouse middling p(doom)s. One of them was talking about Aaronson's Faust parameter [ i.e. the p(doom), assuming "everything goes perfect" if ¬doom, at which you press the button and release superintelligent AI right now ]. And they had what I think was a good question: In what year do we foresee longevity escape velocity, assuming the AInotkilleveryoneist agenda succeeds and superintelligence is forestalled for decades?
The appropriate countervailing challenge question is: What is one plausible story for how a by-chance friendly ASI invents immortality within two years or whatever of its creation, while staying harmless to humanity? What is the tech tree, how does it traverse this tree and what are the guardrails keeping it from going off on some exciting [ what is effectively to a human ] pathology-gain-of-function tangent along the way?
