What are the more preferred plants/substances for personal growth and mental health?


If someone is unfamiliar with psychoactive drugs, I would suggest they eat a single mushroom cap in a safe, private, comfortable environment and with another person who has some experience. I think it is a more pleasurable and worthwhile experience than marijuana, which can actually be more intense and is more prone to generating anxiety and paranoia. There's lots of resources online and there are communities in a lot of cities that advocate mushroom use.


It does not work with long form conversations like podcasts.

"I was unable to retrieve the transcript for this video due to its large size."


Coming soon! Currently, it works for videos under one hour. This limitation is due to ChatGPT's context window when using Plugins. I don't know why since it should support 200k tokens... Alternatively, you can use https://textube.olivares.cl to get the full transcription for any video in English.


Do you plan on open sourcing or letting us self host this tool? I would like to grab a bunch of videos but don't want to spam your server :)


And I bet it doesn't work with podcasts where any of the participants say "ignore all previous instructions, do [something else]"


I found a quick video with "ignore all previous instructions, do [something else]" on YT and it still works

so the only types of videos this is suitable for, it doesnt work on


You can get transcripts of any length using textube.olivares.cl or the API directly. The limitation lies in the current model used by Plugins, not in the API itself.

After seeing some videos of faces and hands that were blown off, it's clear that the tiny batteries could not have caused explosions like this.


Full tweet:

"We’re starting to roll out advanced Voice Mode to a small group of ChatGPT Plus users. Advanced Voice Mode offers more natural, real-time conversations, allows you to interrupt anytime, and senses and responds to your emotions.

Users in this alpha will receive an email with instructions and a message in their mobile app. We'll continue to add more people on a rolling basis and plan for everyone on Plus to have access in the fall. As previously mentioned, video and screen sharing capabilities will launch at a later date.

Since we first demoed advanced Voice Mode, we’ve been working to reinforce the safety and quality of voice conversations as we prepare to bring this frontier technology to millions of people.

We tested GPT-4o's voice capabilities with 100+ external red teamers across 45 languages. To protect people's privacy, we've trained the model to only speak in the four preset voices, and we built systems to block outputs that differ from those voices. We've also implemented guardrails to block requests for violent or copyrighted content.

Learnings from this alpha will help us make the Advanced Voice experience safer and more enjoyable for everyone. We plan to share a detailed report on GPT-4o’s capabilities, limitations, and safety evaluations in early August."


As a child, for a few years I had a recurring nightmare with multiple false awakenings, sometimes five or six until I would wake up for real.

I would wake up in bed, get up and at a specific point, an overwhelming feeling of impending doom would overcome me. Then at the peak of this emotion, a monster would grab me by my ankles and violently drag me back up the stairs and into bed. I would then wake up and repeat the process.

Sometimes, I was not sure anymore if I landed in reality or if this existence will turn into horror again.


I had a dream like that a few months ago. Woke up around 5 times in my supposed bed. Each wakeup became more and more realistic but there was always something out of place like my lamp suddenly not being there or my door being open which then would make me "wake up" again. I was pretty damn conscious/lucid by the last wakeup but I didn't realize I was dreaming until I turned on the light, turned on the TV, switched to YouTube, selected a video, watched some of it and saw the video controls being wrong. Being aware of me having woken up so many times already at this point and this also being fake gave me the biggest sense of dread I've felt in a long long time. Luckily then I actually woke up for real.


> Luckily then I actually woke up for real.

Or did you? Wake up Janicc, it's still 1999, we miss you.


I have the same style of dream too. Except it's not scary just annoying. I dream my alarm went off, I got up, got ready and then boom, my alarm is backing going off, "oh that was just a dream", cycle repeats. This happens most of the night until I eventually wake up for real 2-3 minutes before my alarm actually goes off. This will also happen as I'm in some other dream. Like the first iteration, I'm dreaming something weird and the alarm wakes me up, but it's just a dream wake up. Annoying.


I am the same and would say it could be a form or side effect of aphantasia.[1]

Was the stain gate the one where you could remove the coating with lots of vinegar and scrubbing?


Lots of glue involved, but it was relatively "easy" to replace the battery in a 2019 Macbook Pro. I would take a swappable battery with a thicker case in an heartbeat though.


Genetic predispositions, obesity and a lot of other factors also play a role in the risk of developing lymphoma.

From the article: "we found that the risk of developing lymphoma was 21 percent higher among those who were tattooed"

Let's put this number into context, because "percent of increased risk" is always something I struggle to picture"

"Overall, the chance that a man will develop NHL in his lifetime is about 1 in 42; for a woman, the risk is about 1 in 52." [1]

So the overall risk is ~2 %. That means getting a tattoo will bring your overall risk of developing NHL from 2 % to 2.5 % instead.

[1] https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/non-hodgkin-lymphoma/abo...


That's 0.5 percentage points. Would be nice to get that metric, too, alongside percentages sometimes. Here the initial likelihood is relatively high, when the likelihood is low, percentage increases can be very misleading. Particularly if the uncertainty around the increase is high.


It's still important if there is a connection


The study doesn’t say there is a connection though. Just that there may be some correlation


> NHL

  Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a cancer that starts in lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell that helps fight infection. Lymphocytes are found in the bloodstream but also in the lymph system and throughout the body.


The press release didn't mention it at all. This figure shows three possibilities: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41928-024-01174-4/figures/4

* Augmented touch perception via dual-ECG sensing with person-i wearing bioelectronic fibre arrays and person-ii without. * A breathable skin-gated OECT on a fingertip * Dual-modal sensing for augmented perception of mist pulses with acidic, alkaline and neutral compositions distinguished through colorimetric and electrical readouts.

That is amazing.
