For myself, I suddenly lost the ability to read. Then I realized that the real problem was that the words were missing. I wasn't conscious of a hole in my vision, it was just that everything in one part of my vision was gone. Kind of like when you see a star in your periphery but when you look at it straight on it's too faint to see.
As time passed, the zigzag pattern appeared and the hole became more obvious. I thought I was going blind and wondered if I had somehow burnt my retina. It wasn't until later that I thought to google the zigzag pattern. It didn't occur to me that other people would have experienced the exact same, very specific pattern.
I also never had a scintillating scotoma again. It happened a couple of weeks after I started ADHD medication so I suspect they're related. I often get bad headaches and that made me wonder if my headaches had been migraines all along.
The meta analysis is studying asprin as a cancer treatment, so the subjects were patients who already had cancer, not healthy adults taking it as a preventative. Daily asprin could both be bad for healthy adults and good for cancer patients.

The proof is the skills you built along the way, the same as any job you put on your resume. In data science, at least, we're rarely asked for references. Don't think of yourself as unemployed during that time, and especially don't call yourself unemployed.
A lot of that is relevant to machine learning engineer jobs, especially time series modeling, reinforcement leaning, databases, and real time systems, so highlight those areas if you apply to ML eng jobs.
The more detailed you can be, the more "real" your job experience will look. For example, list the time series algorithms you used and quantity how they helped (error metrics, % return, comparison to a naive forecast, etc). I already mentioned latency. Optimizing your code and data for speed is something interesting you could get into too.
I'm a light sleeper and I feel like I have an awareness of everything nearby when I'm asleep (like I used to fall asleep with an open laptop in bed during college without knocking into it). I have a feeling co-sleeping wouldn't be an issue for me, but with all the dire warnings I'm afraid to risk it.
My wife did exactly that because she is a light sleeper. She actually slept near the center of the bed with the baby on her chest, so she could perceive any movement.
I got used to perceive baby movements too.
I would obviously suggest to be very honest with yourself, but if you are a light sleeper and don't roll (we didn't), the most you have to be careful of is heat. Otherwise, enjoy the cuddly night
> I'm a light sleeper and I feel like I have an awareness of everything nearby when I'm asleep
You absolutely don't have awareness of everything nearby when you're asleep. You are inherently incapable of even determining this because you're sleeping. I'm sure you react to some stimuli but that doesn't mean you can expect yourself to react to every potential stimuli that you would want to.
A medical professional explained to me that your body gets accustomed to the body presence of the baby and unconsciously react to it: the body is aware. Now of course mother nature experiments with everything, so there are for sure people who don't get this "awareness" and as such, could be dangerous.
It seems like a common occurrence for me to google some slightly obscure question and not see any directly relevant search results except a Quora link (usually the other results have my keywords but don't answer the specific question). When I click on the Quora link, I'll find that someone else has asked my exact question but there are no answers. I appreciate the ChatGPT answer because my next step would probably be ChatGPT and it saves me a few clicks.
(Based on the other comment, now I wonder if I just didn't find the human answers due to bad UI.)
Right, a case where there are no human answers (or no good ones) is one where it at least makes local sense for Quora to put in an AI generated response. I think it is not the right solution globally, but I can see how from their perspective having bad content is better than no content.
But this is them putting AI nonsense before good human answers. It can't be the right choice for any of the stakeholders.
It depends on how big the TC difference is. If you can make 2x working at a more volatile company, you can stash away the extra to get through hard times.
I would also only count TC in the first year (or 6 months), not some stock options that vest in year 2+.
It generally takes ~2 years to actually turn your unstable stock into a stable dollar value. As many who joined Square (Block now lol) learned - your idiot CEO can tank your money printing machine at any moment, and while your stock may have quadrupled since you started it's just one dumb move away from dropping a ridiculous amount, and all before you could actually turn any of it into a dollar.
