I went to an ENT who checked it out. They usually heal on their own after a few weeks and you have to make sure you don’t get water in it for a couple months. 2026-04-26T07:59:56Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsvjt0gc75sutk4e0zzg5eag9mctsvx7jngmznmdvvnxdwdvxuqcnczyru27l7kzs8dndnwyprh695xmyfha7jhrqwzag0lp7w22xcun7ml66a2t5g In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdknvrj98qzczlaqsxhwp7zvf4fare5nl24te058dg7nzmfl5e4rqywjf24'>nevent1q…jf24</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>But the (hopefully temporary) effect it has had on my experience of the world is fascinating (and annoying). Because the right ear is semi deafened now, my ability to separate different sound sources is really reduced. Possibly as a consequence of that or just the healing itself I’m also way way more sensitive to loud or complex soundscapes than usual! 2026-04-26T07:59:56Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0rlhtv499gvnm5g9zq5yl2fzamgg764dgah90sjpuvekf2x9duggzyru27l7kzs8dndnwyprh695xmyfha7jhrqwzag0lp7w22xcun7ml6n5g6c5 So by some kind of ridiculous unluckiness I was hiking the other day and a slender piece of bamboo reached out and poked directly into my right ear canal, perforating my ear drum. 2026-04-26T07:59:55Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqszftvwgzyaea9s4hj4hcxahq9gq4qaqx4ggmneexd3pyc52wxr57czyru27l7kzs8dndnwyprh695xmyfha7jhrqwzag0lp7w22xcun7ml6hdq0s3 Are there any good theories for why LLM writing is often so clearly recognisable? It’s not obvious to me that such systems should have such a clear “voice” when trained on such diverse datasets. Is it some kind of effect of averaging over many styles of writing? Is it something that emerges from the RLHF? 2026-04-09T01:36:17Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsp9sf78zfmrlvm4cf0hgj7kdtc2uyja0hw073g479z2sfrukx54jgzyru27l7kzs8dndnwyprh695xmyfha7jhrqwzag0lp7w22xcun7ml6vl7y7d If you built a galaxy sized camera above the galaxy and used it to image planets would you be doing microscopy? 2025-11-26T12:16:25Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqszu3crdhuumzqj9dk5lf2xp03k3jv9mn0zl7schuy9uq7v7w0k50qzyru27l7kzs8dndnwyprh695xmyfha7jhrqwzag0lp7w22xcun7ml6dxvey4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxj8pxm6juc0ahsmv0m326v37u730a4gvc8755a0fnmh9jdk2qeygm2vnwm'>nevent1q…vnwm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>hahaha, my ceramics buddy and I have this running joke that whenever we throw a thing that’s a bit too big to be a cup and a bit too small to be a real bowl then it’s destined to be gifted to someone and used as a nut bowl. « Oh no, another nut bowl! *throws into Christmas gift pile*» 2025-10-25T06:25:50Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsza7wnsp6eg5tuzt0as4tp938pwf7lyk8p9aue484d4002w8wj04szyru27l7kzs8dndnwyprh695xmyfha7jhrqwzag0lp7w22xcun7ml6xt9am0 Took the plunge and started printing parts for an Open Flexure Microscope! <a href="https://openflexure.org/projects/microscope/">https://openflexure.org/projects/microscope/</a> Ordered the parts from here <a href="https://labcrafter.co.uk/products/openflexure-microscope">https://labcrafter.co.uk/products/openflexure-microscope</a><br/> <img src="https://media.tech.lgbt/media_attachments/files/114/748/370/708/119/457/original/adbb0268edfd2195.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-06-26T07:04:33Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsyj8vjzvhz0a0fff97recqj3tx4ku6a55zcycu45q8erkwcymueyqzyru27l7kzs8dndnwyprh695xmyfha7jhrqwzag0lp7w22xcun7ml6gl6e4x In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyv6ehc7r9ksva4ua8r0q0emnc2aht6t0ewj7nate48gm7t07nf7g3l6n6p'>nevent1q…6n6p</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I was pretty shocked the first time I heard of the idea of following a standard that isn’t freely available.
