RE: https://ieji.de/@lesezeichen/116507577424426219 What LLMs are really good at: Extracting infromation from the input data you give it and rephrasing it in natural language. E.g. if you prompt it with a knwoledge graph, a long article, a collection of books and ask a specific quesion about […] https://mathstodon.xyz/@fckprknsns/116509914332651956

Today I learned about the ACE Score (Adverse Childhood Experiences), that gives a number from 1 to 10 which provides a simple sceening tool for childhood trauma. A higher ACE Score corresponds with a higher risk of health, social, and emotional problems. It also correlates with crime rates and […] https://mathstodon.xyz/@fckprknsns/116486617286768845

["AI", QUESTION about (non-) determinism of LLMs] RE: https://mathstodon.xyz/@fckprknsns/116449672042638891 Actually that is still an open question in my mind: *Why* are LLMs not deterministic?

This seems like Landauers Principle has been verified in an experment. This means there is indeed a hard limit on how effective computers can get. On the Wikipedia it says that: "As of 2012, modern computers use about a billion times as much energy per operation." Computers became a lot more […] https://mathstodon.xyz/@fckprknsns/116137760134527715

This is a pretty neat way to explain how Alzheimers works by comparing it to neuronal networks. The memory is not gone, it just becomes harder to access. https://youtu.be/o_ZuWbX-CyE?t=1712

Another interesting drug that is used in the treatment of PD is Apomorphine. And again this drug was initially found in a plant - the one commonly known as the blue lotus. A plant which has been historically used for medical purposes for thousands of years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apomorphine

TL;DR: Women with greater dietary nicotine intake had a lower risk of PD than those with lower intake. What surprizes me most about this is that peppers apparently contain enough nicotine to have a measurable effect on PD. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7528555/

The term "Parkinsons Disease" first spiked in litterature in the 1860's / 1870's - that makes a lot of sense. While the orriginal essay on by James Parkinson was bublished in 1817, the term Parkinsons Disease was only coined after his death by the neurologist […] [Original post on mathstodon.xyz]

The drug Pimavanserin is approved for treatment of Parkinons Disease Psychosis since 2016 in the USA, but it is currently not available in the EU. It works by blocking serotonine receptors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pimavanserin
