stp2y0 CommentsRAG models
Administered ketamine is being used in concert with therapy to treat Ukrainian veterans who experience post-traumatic stress disorder from fighting on the battlefield."Veterans, of course, are really exposed to so much in their work at the front lines and have high rates of PTSD and treatment-related resistant depression," Elaine Klein, the board president and co-founder of an American nonprofit, Heal Ukraine Trauma, supporting the use and research of Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, told Business Insider.Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, which involves the administered use of ketamine paired with a session of therapy between a patient and a mental health professional, is a lesser-known practice in…

The world is not quite ready for ‘digital workers’

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT
One thing seems for sure: people are not ready for “digital workers” just yet.That’s the lesson learned by Sarah Franklin, the CEO of Lattice, a human resources and performance management platform that offers performance coaching, talent reviews, onboarding automation, compensation management and a host of other HR tools to more than 5,000 organizations around the world.What is a digital employee? According to Franklin, it’s avatars like Devin the engineer, Harvey the lawyer, Einstein the service agent and Piper the sales agent who have “entered the workforce and become our colleagues”. But these are not real workers. They’re bots powered by…

Trump has preached ‘unity’ since his assassination attempt, but he could become even more radical in the aftermath

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models
Former President Donald Trump took the stage Thursday during the Republican National Convention, and for 26 minutes of his 92-minute-long speech, he spoke of uniting our deeply divided country.But while some pundits have argued his speech showed he is more subdued and humble in the wake of last week's failed assassination attempt against him, others aren't so sure he's changed at all. And some political scientists and experts on authoritarianism warn Trump could become even more radical after his near-death experience."In an age when power politics too often divide us, now is the time to remember that we are all…

A nifty hack made Mario a playable character in 1994’s Donkey Kong Country

stp2y0 CommentsNews,
Mario and Donkey Kong have been rivals, frenemies, go-kart competitors and tennis partners. The Italian plumber once kidnapped Donkey Kong’s son. DK once, uh, took over Mario’s toy company (?) and for some reason. They have history. What they haven’t done, however, is appear as playable characters in one another’s platforming adventures. Thanks to a nifty bit of hacking, that just changed.Mario is a playable character in a Donkey Kong Country, due to a ROM programmer called RainbowSprinklez. It’s appropriately named DKC X Mario and this is not a simple sprite swap. We wouldn’t waste your time with that. Mario…

The luxury handbags most likely to be faked, according to an expert from The RealReal

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models

With a limited supply of the most in-demand bags, some are turning to resale to avoid yearslong waitlists. At the same time, aspirational customers are taking advantage of better prices as a gateway to luxury.But there are dangers to buying…

Schim is an inventive, beautiful platformer that’s just a little too repetitive

stp2y0 CommentsNews,
Schim is one of the I was most looking forward to this year, and I generally had a pleasant time with it. It’s a pretty platformer in which every object and living thing has a soul called a Schim. These frog-like critters live in the shadow of their host but can become lost when its object or creature is neglected, damaged or going through something life-changing.You play as a Schim that gets separated from its person, who is going through a difficult spell in their life. There are no prizes for guessing that the goal is to reconnect with them.…
