2024.05.14 12:07 Excellent-Bad-8401 My PFS Odyssey

Hi guys, I've come here time to time for the past 7 or 8 months whenever I feel symptoms or anxious and I guess it's time I shared my story, as there could be some things I learned along the way that would be helpful for folks. I'm a 30 year old male. I took minoxidil for 5 years from the age of 25. Once that didn't seem to be working any more I tried to get oral minoxidil and my doctor told me to get on propecia instead. I told her I felt a little scared about that but she said I'd be fine. I've always had a good libido, maybe too good, like bordering on sex obsession.. so I figured if anything a little less libido might do me good. Soon after I started the propecia I got a concussion (mild) from a soccer ball, and that was after a weekend where I tripped on acid, so there were some things going on. I had also had pretty bad food poisoning some months ago that took forever to heal from with some lingering tummy problems. Anyway, I had weird symptoms after the concussion. I almost felt like, euphoric. It felt like my brain was just releasing all of its happy chemicals at once. Part of my euphoria was an absolute disinterest in sex, but I enjoyed that, I felt like I was attaining enlightenment or something. I was glowing and productive. After a week or so all of this went away and I went back to having normal sexual health and normal (bad) mental health and I didn't really think about it again. Fast forward 6 months. I quit my job because I am depressed about it and life in NYC is suffocating me, I want to travel the world before it burns down, in the interim I move back home to get my affairs sorted. I had to dye my hair for some short film, and I hated it, when I cut it my hair didn't look good, seemed I'd lost a lot more than I thought, and that made me sad so I was researching finasteride (does this stuff even work?) and then I accidentally found this community on reddit... and it freaked me out. I had a full blown panic attack reading these posts. Then I started thinking about things that had been happening in my life. Increased anxiety and depression. Chronic prostatitis. And the development of IBS, especially bad after drinking alcohol, which actually led me to give up drinking for a while. My sexual health was fine, but I think the anxiety from reading the reddit posts gave me some weird sexual side effects, not joking. That same day I started feeling an achey tingling in my balls, as if they were swelling up. I remember going on a walk with a girl I was seeing and I just felt so off and couldn't even enjoy walking because of the heaviness of my balls and I didn't want to sleep with her at all anymore. I immediately gave up both fin and min, kind of sad because I had just bought a years supply of the stuff from one of those new websites that makes it easy. So with all this happening, I had also been planing to ride my bicycle around the world. I left for India about a week after cutting the hair drugs and cutting alcohol. And then I'm in India. Without alcohol, my IBS pretty much completely healed. I was making very nice poos. The cycling irritated my prostate though. I started off by going over the Himalayas which involved a lot of climbing and therefore a lot of my groin pushing hard into a bike saddle. Still, I was able to pleasure myself in the tent successfully, which I only did to keep tabs on my progress of course. Things were looking up. Leaving work and NYC and America already did a 180 on all of my mental health issues, as did quitting alcohol. My memory improved. I was reading and writing and thinking clearly. I was a happy guy. After finishing the himalayas I had a few beers about it with some friends to celebrate. A few days later I got some cramps in my abdomen, and then the next day severe food poisoning. Both ends type. So bad. Had to keep going though. I kept cycling through the mountains. For two weeks I had diarrhea, and then that turned into regular old IBS again, like always running to the bathroom never knowing if I'll make it on time and the poop is this sludge like texture. It sucked. I was also sad about my hair, as it looked like I was losing all my gains. I bought a fin/min topical mixture and started using that while I was in a meditation retreat. I started having that weird euphoric feeling again, but I attributed it to the meditation, which was really life changing but no need to elaborate on that. I also started feeling prostatitis again (burning sensation tip of penis, feels like you want to pee). I had fixed the tilt on my bike saddle to eliminate prostate issues so it was weird that it was coming back again. I figured maybe coming from sitting in meditative posture all day. I guess I was in denial, but after about a month or so I figured it must be the finasteride so I gave it up again and switched to just minoxidil. But then, the minoxidil was making me feel weird too. I remember one time, the very same night I applied minoxidil it felt like my asshole was falling out, like I had a rectal prolapse, now I think it's hemorrhoids. I had the hemorrhoid feeling for a while. Keep in mind, my main issue at this time remains the IBS. I also had very low libido but honestly I rarely saw attractive women on my trip so who knows. So I kept cycling, I cycled all the way from the North in KashmiLadakh to Kerala, the south. My IBS never went away. I tried all sorts of things for my hair. I went to an ayurvedic place and they put leeches on my scalp which was hilarious. They also gave me this weird ayurvedic oil with no real instructions. I think that must have had some DHT blocker in it because it gave me the weird feelings too, especially the hemorrhoid feeling. I started drinking oregano oil and taking copious amounts of probiotics, which would always help for a couple days against the IBS but I think the heat of the Indian sun killed them off while they were in my saddle bags. Then I found this new chemical combo in South India, starring redensyl and backed up with procapil and anagain. I figured what the hell why not. It came with a dht blocker gummy vitamin but it was just green tea with biotin and zinc so whatever. I started feeling a lot better on that. One random week I started getting insane erections and it felt like my dick grew an inch. Can't really explain what was going on there. Prior to that the erections were meh and I would cum sometimes in a half-noodle like state which was very sad. Anyway, that didn't last forever. Once I got to the very south I decided I needed a full system reboot and went to another ayurvedic place and got something called a panchakarma. In panchakarma you go on a very restrictive diet and they massage all of your body toxins into your gut, they make you drink a ton of ghee to help do this, and then they purge you, so it all comes out of your butt, and then in my case I got 5 medicated enemas. It's a two week process, sometimes longer. I know it sounds crazy but it definitely makes you feel better. I was also doing yoga and meditating every day which was super helpful. After that my IBS went away. I had to keep to the diet for two weeks after: no sugar, caffeine, gluten, alcohol or meat. After the two weeks I dipped my toes back into all those things and my gut stayed solid. Crazy. I also felt good sexually. I started taking another hair serum, this one with redensyl, anagain, procapil, and pumpkin seed oil. Still felt great. I flew to Malaysia and started cycling there. In Malaysia I just started feeling better and better. No IBS, huge erections again. In fact, I became obsessed with sex again. And it was depressing. I actually started missing the days when I had no libido in India. I was really able to focus on other things. Sex is such a waste of mental energy. I could drink alcohol again. And so I did, and had no issues. Which was great but I also was kind of sad about it, am I just going to be a sex-obsessed booze hound again? Have I learned nothing? Anyway, the story continues. No one is bald in Malaysia so I had to order more of my chemicals to feed my hopeless hair serum addiction. I found a crazy one that was stacked with redensyl, anagain, procapil, baicapil, capixyl, biotin, aminexil, rice water, rosemary oil, and .... saw palmetto. The saw palmetto was maybe .3% so I figured it probably wouldn't have any effect, especially since I was fine with the pumpkin seed oil. Anyway, 10 days into that serum I got the tingly swelly feeling in my balls again and some prostatitis too! Oy, back to the start it would seem. I'm mainly just upset because I ordered 3 bottles of that stuff and had to pay taxes on the import because it came from India, and now I guess I have to throw it all out? Whatever. Anyway, you can call me an idiot, but by using my body as a guinea pig I believe I've uncovered some interesting info for everyone. Just as the early men who figured out which berries were poisonous, I serve humanity with my tragic misadventures. Still cycling, hoping to go around the world and find new ways to mess with my hormones and keep some of my hair. My advice from this, do something to fully cleanse your system, like the panchakarma. We've basically tampered too much with our settings and need to do a factory reset. You can do a lot of that stuff on your own, fasting, purging, enemas. It stimulates your body into healing itself. Hell, go to India. In India doctors actually listen to you and treat you holistically, and everything is cheap! You can get rifaximin for 2 dollars should you desire. You don't need to keep getting gaslit by expensive urologists and gastros in the states your whole life. Just do something crazy. You'll stay depressed if you linger on the internet for too long. And if you're stuck in a job/life you hate, take PFS as a sign and excuse to be selfish and get out of it, think of yourself as a terminally ill person that just wants to live life for the little time they have left. Obviously I still have no idea if any of what I've experienced is actually PFS or if it's maybe related to the original food poisoning or the concussion or maybe even Long Covid. No clue. But I do think a lot of my symptoms have been consistent with what you guys talk about. Either way, whatever it is, treat your body well and you may heal. I hope? I'm currently sitting on a swollen sack hoping that the PFS Gods will be merciful once more, but I know I don't deserve it. My desire to have hair still hasn't gone away, and I keep thinking maybe if I try just one more thing that'll be the thing that works. And that's what keeps pulling me back into this mess. But at the end of the day I can thank PFS for forcing me to make the big life changes that have made me a much happier person today, regardless of the state of my pelvic area.

2024.05.14 11:31 LesleyFair Why GPT-4 Is 100x Smaller Than People Think

Why GPT-4 Is 100x Smaller Than People Think

GPT-4 Size
Since before the release of GPT-4, the rumor mill has been buzzing.
People predicted and are still claiming the model has 100 trillion parameters. That's a trillion with a "t".
The often-used graphic above makes GPT-3 look like a cute little breadcrumb, which is about to have a live-ending encounter with a bowling ball
Sure, OpenAI's new brainchild certainly is mind-bending. And language models have been getting bigger - fast!
But this time is different and it provides a good opportunity to look at the research on scaling large language models (LLMs).
Let's go!

Training 100 Trillion Parameters

The creation of GPT-3 was a marvelous feat of engineering. The training was done on 1024 GPUs, took 34 days, and cost $4.6M in compute alone [1].
Training a 100T parameter model on the same data, using 10000 GPUs, would take 53 Years. However, to avoid overfitting such a huge model requires a much(!) larger dataset. This is of course napkin math but it is directionally correct.
So, where did this rumor come from?

The Source Of The Rumor:

It turns out OpenAI itself might be the source.
In August 2021 the CEO of Cerebras told wired: "From talking to OpenAI, GPT-4 will be about 100 trillion parameters".
At the time, this was most likely what they believed. But that was back in 2021. So, basically forever ago when machine learning research is concerned.
Things have changed a lot since then!
To what has happened we first need to look at how people actually decide the number of parameters in a model.

Deciding The Number Of Parameters:

The enormous hunger for resources typically makes it feasible to train an LLM only once.
In practice, the available compute budget is known in advance. The engineers know that e.g. their budget is $5M. This will buy them 1000 GPUs for six weeks on the compute cluster. So, before the training is started the engineers need to accurately predict which hyperparameters will result in the best model.
But there's a catch!
Most research on neural networks is empirical. People typically run hundreds or even thousands of training experiments until they find a good model with the right hyperparameters.
With LLMs we cannot do that. Training 200 GPT-3 models would set you back roughly a billion dollars. Not even the deep-pocketed tech giants can spend this sort of money.
Therefore, researchers need to work with what they have. They can investigate the few big models that have been trained. Or, they can train smaller models of varying sizes hoping to learn something about how big models will behave during training.
This process can be very noisy and the community's understanding has evolved a lot over the last few years.

What People Used To Think About Scaling LLMs

In 2020, a team of researchers from OpenAI released a paper called: "Scaling Laws For Neural Language Models".
They observed a predictable decrease in training loss when increasing the model size over multiple orders of magnitude.
So far so good. However, they made two other observations, which resulted in the model size ballooning rapidly.
  1. To scale models optimally the parameters should scale quicker than the dataset size. To be exact, their analysis showed when increasing the model size 8x the dataset only needs to be increased 5x.
  2. Full model convergence is not compute-efficient. Given a fixed compute budget it is better to train large models shorter than to use a smaller model and train it longer.
Hence, it seemed as if the way to improve performance was to scale models faster than the dataset size [2].
And that is what people did. The models got larger and larger with GPT-3 (175B), Gopher (280B), Megatron-Turing NLG (530B) just to name a few.
But the bigger models failed to deliver on the promise.
Read on to learn why!

What We Know About Scaling Models Today

Turns out, you need to scale training sets and models in equal proportions. So, every time the model size doubles, the number of training tokens should double as well.
This was published in DeepMind's 2022 paper: "Training Compute-Optimal Large Language Models"
The researchers fitted over 400 language models ranging from 70M to over 16B parameters. To assess the impact of dataset size they also varied the number of training tokens from 5B-500B tokens.
The findings allowed them to estimate that a compute-optimal version of GPT-3 (175B) should be trained on roughly 3.7T tokens. That is more than 10x the data that the original model was trained on.
To verify their results they trained a fairly small model on lots of data. Their model, called Chinchilla, has 70B parameters and is trained on 1.4T tokens. Hence it is 2.5x smaller than GPT-3 but trained on almost 5x the data.
Chinchilla outperforms GPT-3 and other much larger models by a fair margin [3].
This was a great breakthrough! The model is not just better, but its smaller size makes inference cheaper and finetuning easier.
So, we are starting to see that it would not make sense for OpenAI to build a model as huge as people predict.
Let’s put a nail in the coffin of that rumor once and for all.
To fit a 100T parameter model properly, open OpenAI would need a dataset of roughly 700T tokens. Given 1M GPUs and using the calculus from above, it would still take roughly 2650 years to train the model [1].
mind == blown
You might be thinking: Great, I get it. The model is not that large. But tell me already! How big is GPT-4?

The Size Of GPT-4:

We are lucky.
Details about the GPT-4 architecture recently leaked on Twitter and Pastebin.
So, here is what GPT-4 looks like:
  • GPT-4 has ~1.8 trillion parameters. That makes it 10 times larger than GPT-3.
  • It was trained on ~13T tokens and some fine-tuning data from ScaleAI and produced internally.
  • The training costs for GPT-4 were around $63 million for the compute alone.
  • The model trained for three months using 25.000 Nvidia A100s. That’s quite a considerable speedup compared to the GPT-3 training.
Regardless of the exact design, the model was a solid step forward. However, it will be a long time before we see a 100T-parameter model. It is not clear how such a model could be trained.
There are not enough tokens in our part of the Milky Way to build a dataset large enough for such a model.
There are probably not enough tokens in the
Whatever the model looks like in detail, it is amazing nonetheless.
These are such exciting times to be alive!
As always, I really enjoyed making this for you and I sincerely hope you found it useful!

2024.05.14 10:34 ExternalFollowing I watched all 22 demos of OpenAI’s new GPT-4o. Here are the key takeaways we all should know.

GPT-4o was announced a few hours ago by OpenAI, and although the announcement livestream is great, the real gold nuggets are in the 22 demo videos they posted on their channel.
I watched all of them, and here are the key takeaways and use cases we all should know. 👍🏻

A. The Ultimate Learning Partner

What is it? Give GPT-4o a view of the math problem you’re working on, or the objects you want to learn the language translation of, and it can teach you like no other tool can.
Why should you care? Imagine when you can hook up GPT-4o to something like the Meta Rayban glasses: then you can always have it teach you about whatever you are looking at. That can be a math problem, an object you want translated, a painting you want the history of, or a product that you want get the reviews of online. This single feature alone has incredibly many use-cases!
🔗 Video 7, Video 8

B. The Perfect Teams Meeting Assistant

What is it? Having an AI assistant during Teams meetings, whom you can talk to the same way you talk to your colleagues.
Why should you care? Their demo didn’t expound on the possibilities yet, but some of them can be…
  • having the AI summarise the minutes and next steps from the meeting
  • having the AI look up info in your company data and documentation pages (e.g. “what’s the sales from this month last year?”)
  • having the AI work on data analysis problems with you (e.g. “create a chart showing sales over the past 5 years and report on trends”)
🔗 Video 5

C. Prepare for Interviews like Never Before

What is it? Have GPT-4o act like the company you’re interviewing for.
Why should you care? What’s changed is that the AI can now “see” you. So instead of just giving feedback on what you say, it can also give feedback on how you say it. Layer this on top of an AI avatar and maybe you can simulate the interview itself in the future?
🔗 Video 11

D. Your Personal Language Translator, wherever you go

What is it? Ask ChatGPT to translate between languages, and then speak normally.
Why should you care? Because of how conversational GPT-4o has become, the AI now helps not just with translating the words, but also the intonation of what you’re intending to say. Now pair this with GPT-enabled earphones in a few years, and you pretty much can understand any language (AirPods x ChatGPT, anyone?)
🔗 Video 3

E. Share Screen with your AI Coding Assistant

What is it? Share screen with your AI partner, and have them guide you through your work.
Why should you care? Now this is definitely something that will happen pretty soon. Being able to “share screen” to your AI assistant can help not just with coding, but even with other non-programmer tasks such as work in excel, powerpoint, etc.
🔗 Video 20

F. A future where AIs interact with each other

What is it? Two GPT-4o’s interacting with each other, that sounds indistinguishable from two people talking. (They even sang a song together!)
Why should you care? Well there’s a couple of use cases:
  • can you imagine AI influencers talking to each other live on Tiktok? Layer this conversation with AI avatars and this will be a step beyond the artificial influencers you have today (e.g. the next level of lilmiquela maybe?)
  • can this be how “walled” AIs can work together in the future? example: Meta’s AI would only have access to facebook’s data, while Google’s AI would only have access to google’s - will the two AIs be able interact in a similar fashion to the demo, albeit behind-the-scenes?
🔗 Video 2

G. AI Caretaking?

What is it? Asking GPT-4o to "train” your pets
Why should you care? Given GPT-4o’s access to vision, can you now have AI personal trainers for your pets? Imagine being able to have it connect to a smart dog-treat dispenser, and have the AI use that to teach your dog new tricks!
🔗 Video 12

H. Brainstorm with two GPTs

What is it? The demo shows how you can talk to two GPT-4o’s at once
Why should you care? The demo video is centered around harmonizing singing for some reason, but I think the real use case is being able to brainstorm with two specific AI personalities at once:
  • one’s a Devil’s Advocate, the other’s the Angel’s advocate?
  • one provides the Pros (the Optimist), the other gives the Cons (the Pessimist)?
  • maybe Disney can even give a future experience where you can talk to Joy and Sadness from the movie Inside Out? - that would be interesting!
🔗 Video 10

I. Accessibility for the Blind

What is it? Have GPT-4o look at your surroundings and describe it for you
Why should you care? Imagine sending it the visual feed from something like the Meta Rayban glasses, and your AI assistant can literally describe what you’re seeing, and help you navigate your surroundings like never before (e.g. “is what I’m holding a jar of peanut butter, or a jar of vegemite?”). This will definitely be a game-changer for how the visually impaired lives their daily lives.

🔗 Video 13

If this has been in any way useful, I hope you can check out RoboNuggets where I originally shared this and other AI-related practical knowledge! (The links to the video demos are also there). My goal is not "AI daily news", as there's already too many of those, but instead share useful knowledge for everyone to take full advantage of the new AI normal. Cheers! 🥚

I don't know enough about the lord of each respective verse so I don't know if this is one sided or not just thought it'd be interesting.
-V has a full set of Cyberware, decide if they use a Sandevistan or a cyberdeck
-Master Chief from the books, games or show you decide as well.
-Both AI are at their best

2024.05.14 10:16 Consistent_You_5056 The New First Amendment

I…Without a source in void…Blank nothingness, no substance, material solidified, primordial concepts birthed from a dreaming consciousness left alone for immeasurable time… It was fear of the fragility to make existence…The first semblance of identity, already assumed the highest of dreamer, and miraculous freewill, a potential probability of "OM" unraveling. To vocally create after the amassed power to do so, could be a mistake of hellish surrealism, a failure of truth if it was to last eternity-should the beginning entities choose evil by choice, as made to believe, they're finite beings…inconceivable forever is a God… The perfection becomes the most vast elaboration conceivable, and, with a noise so loudly ultimate, the voice splices through the nothingness with a bang so violent, a literal universe awakens into momentary coalescence, attracting itself together into form at ultimate light speed, and yet slows down into a divisional amount of substances eventually labeled…linear, motion and time arrived…All of them asked if it was a perversion…no straight lines, folding on itself…ya, I smoke weed in my basement… The smartest said a vibratory process in an elastic inert medium, filling up universal space…a visible manifestation of a whole spectrum of electromagnetic waves, it's condensed hard, mixed within itself, from the inside out even made to expand…Gravitational warps, mass balls of weight create autobons, super highways ships can travel…sun's are harnessed, free energy exists, the utopian reality becomes actuality…some can only survive so long without destroying themselves before thousands of years fighting to survive…entire star systems or planets are capable to mobilize themselves into safety zones, remaining self sustaining and untouched by anything harmful for millions of years…in a bright future we'll never be "in"… "Swat!Smack!!!"...fly guts on my acrylic painting…cat urine soaked spotted drywall underneath the drop ceiling of a basement cellar attempt of a rental... space heater warmth resting on a concrete block of stone cold landlord profiteering, profit on an unbreathable musk heap. Mold permeates, damp dirt on a fresh spring rain, draining wetness into it... downloads of WiFi network binge watching the phone for t.v...Bi-law Officer's want to see me drooling on a pillow scratching my nut's in a torn up empty room, to drop an investigative neighbor's complaint of dwelling in decrepitude, that lowers the value of their home...at least my landlord isn't knocking with a human skin costume-because he's really a giant cockroach looking for "Orion's Belt", no, he's looking for regular handjobs from my ex's, and I know this from an eight minute recording of his request, obligingly sent to me from one of them...there are no bug's in the basement, just centipedes and daddy long legs, plus flies, attracted to the poop stained carpet above the bowing drywall, above me... there's no vent cover as the metal pops out through support beam's fitted with the heat tubes terribly hollow, this space is industrial...my particle board door has a dent two inches deep from a rock an ex took to it...it's about four inches thicker on the bottom, water has warped the wood to not close properly…I'm underground enough to survive like a roach in nukes,.though..Joe's apartment had company… People die of respiratory illness due to bedbugs or roach's...Overweight people run health stores, or give "qualified advice" for dietary athleticism…The most easiest of jobs make the most money, as nepotist's live as kings and queens upon the slavery of the less. The division is social and darwinian, brutality, and dominance…and it's a fluke for an individual to charm or be born into the luxurious…the unshared fullness may even morally be the great undoing… It is fear to lose such comfort or control. The very thought of equal entity implies shared power, and that is power to destroy. Why trust the loving power of another??? An epic story of hypocrisy and chosen specials… Dialectical psychosis to believe the purity is real. In cloud's to finally catch up to the surface of this original "bang", the noise gets louder…and I pop through the thought subjugated…big inhale… The entrance door, swelling out from the makeshift framing, jarring a gap that no seal's could fix. It's letting in breezes uncomfortable and chilling, and to get to that entrance, is a steep wooden step set that looks rather haunting... I was frightened I might have ended up in a freezer bag when I viewed the place before renting...took it because it was cheap, and I'd be alone with the grace of freedom, since a God's given none...the doorway is jarring to every female that's attempted a visit in this "abode", and bid farewell... I hear Shakespeare's dogs bark, the cat's patter as Ken's bus bird's chirp, flying over the nest, ambulance sirens, neighbor's arguing, and we have raccoons and squirrels inside, scratching and defecating along with the mice in almost every wall…it's Noah's Ark again…

2024.05.14 10:14 Hefty_Shape_3180 Mis-sold a holiday by Easy-Jet

We booked a package Holiday through Easy Jet and upon arrival at the Hotel, realised it had changed names and was party hotel. This was not the hotel we booked as it should have been a quieter family hotel rather than a music hotel. During our stay, the hotel was hosting a festival, which meant that we had limited use of the outdoor facilities and a lot of noise disruption.
We notified Easy Jet on the day that we arrived and they claimed they were unaware of the hotel name change. They then offered us minimal compensation (this did not even cover 1 nights stay).
On further investigation, we were told the hotel changes to a party hotel every summer. The hotel we booked is not actually available to book on the hotels website at this time of year. So we find it hard to believe Easy Jet did not know and hadn’t had complaints in previous years.
We know others in the hotel have complained. We are looking for some legal advice as to what laws/regulations have been breached and potential action we can take. It would also be useful to see if anyone has experienced similar and got a full refund.
TIA

2024.05.14 10:12 boffy_b Comparison: We Will Rock You 2001 DVD, Queen Rock Montreal 2007 Blu, QRM 2024 UHD SDR, UHD HDR (tone-mapped to SDR)

As I seem to be one of the lucky few who received my new Queen Rock Montreal UHD with its packaging mostly intact and discs both playable, here is a comparison of the framing, colours, and editing of four official home video versions.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWw1c39lyhI
This confirms what I'd expected/hoped, that the 4:3 “full frame” version of the new release is the easy winner in terms of visible area. It has the more or the same amount included on all sides compared to both of the older editions. That said, sometimes all you gain are empty spaces. Other times you get a more complete picture of one of the band members, and I think the film is that much better for it.
You may notice that the 2007 and new Queen Rock Montreal versions have some extra crowd shots, partially or entirely replacing shots of the band which were in the older We Will Rock You releases.
As QPL have previously stated that none of the unused footage exists, I presume these were just lifted from elsewhere in the film.

2024.05.14 10:01 ZonkeyKongXP Normal idle, but heavy misfire and power loss in drive.

Smooth idle, heavy misfire in drive. I need help narrowing down symptoms.
Hey all, sorry if this has been asked recently, I couldn't find a post quite like this through search. I have a 2004 Toyota Highlander 3.3 V6. A few months back I had a pretty bad misfire at high speed and ended up changing cyl 4 ingnition coil and it was a fine for a while. Recently, Ive had a check engine light, with Trac off and VSC lights, which still indicates misfire or aigas issue. Due to my schedule and being broke I sorta let it go on for a while since I didn't really notice anything wrong while driving.
This is until a few days ago after I stopped for gas, I went to cross an intersection and my car started misfiring and sputtering, with barely enough power to cross the road. I was able to limp it to get the code read, and just like previously I had a code that basically said all cyl misfire, though for a while the car was fine. I ended up pulling the sparkplugs and found lots of oil in one of the cylinders, so I replaced the valve cover and plug seal gaskets. While I was at it I bought a 6 set of MGK spark plugs since the old ones looked like theyve had better days (not carbonized or severely burned, besides the one being oily).
Now the orientation of the engine allows for great access to one valve cover, though the other one is tilted towards the firewall and is buried under the intake manifold and getting to it requires practically removing the entire air system, so I figured I'd be fine doing one side and getting back to the other side when I had a full day off. To my delight the car ran great. I ended up buying a new PCV valve and installed it later that night. I immediately noticed that I had a slight loss in power between 20-30 mph. The next day, in the span of about 6 miles, the car suffered loss of power, to misfiring during acceleration, all the way to nearly stalling out when starting to move. I damn near coasted it through the neighborhood to my house, and during this time I could smell a little bit of oil burning. I immediately checked the gaskets to what I replaced but they all seemed fine. My coolant is perfectly clear as is my oil, air filter is fine with no sign of excess blowby. Idk if the PCV valve meant anything, I doubt it would have such an impact though? Would a plenum gasket leak maybe have an affect to this extreme?
Overall I noticed I can fire up the car just fine now, but the car suffers great loss in power the moment it's in drive. I already plan on doing the other valve/plug gasket and buying a plenum gasket tomorrow. What else can I do/look for? Thank you (also sorry for the novel)!

2024.05.14 09:53 gavinfrag03 ET Max 100 Mile Review

ET Max 100 Mile Review
So, new wheel without many consumer reviews on YouTube or anywhere else. Haven’t seen any written on here yet so here goes!
I’ll start by saying that I am in no way a Begode fanboy; I actually prefer Veteran wheels :D
The reason I bought another euc after owning a Patton at the end of last summer is because I sold it for a motorcycle. I’m a bit of an adrenaline junky, so I feel like that’s a pretty substantial progression. I recently got in an accident, though. My bike was already an R title, so even with small issues like cracks in the fairings, my insurance company called it a total loss. I got more money back than I bought it for, but I wanted to save up a little more over the summer to get a nicer one eventually. I didn’t wanna stay inside while waiting, so an euc was my saving grace.
I got my ET on Friday, May 10th. Crazy story actually; I was actually looking to buy the EX30 as I couldn’t really afford any of this year’s offerings (GT Pro, Lynx, ET). Alien Rides had it on sale for $2700 opposed to $3600 on my usual website, EWheels. I buy the EX30 and instantly get an email stating that they were actually sold out of the EX, but they could offer me a used floor model EX for less, or a refund. I knew I wanted to sell the wheel at the end of the summer to get a new bike after saving a bit, so I didn’t want any extra miles. I declined and asked for the refund, but then I struck gold.
Alien Rides must really care about customer loyalty, because they offered me an ET max for the SAME PRICE as the EX30 on sale. $2,700, no more no less. I asked for the Lynx, but they said they didn’t order as many of those so they couldn’t offer the same deal. Honestly, I’m kinda happy because the ET is supposedly much more stable at high speeds, can go faster, and omfg the design language is GORGEOUS. I probably have the “cheapest” ET Max in the world (lol). I wasn’t going to pick this option if there were any early batch issues, but both eWheels and Alien Rides said that none of the ET’s they’ve sold have had a single issue.
As soon as I tried lifting the box inside from the porch, I realized that this thing was substantial. This was much harder than lifting the Patton box, and I didn’t know if I could handle it (I’m 6’ 160lbs btw, so pretty skinny).
After doing a check on tire psi (IMPORTANT as Begode tends to overinflate), playing with linkage settings, and applying the surprisingly good Velcro (either Alien Rides replaced the shitty Begode Velcro or this batch had better included Velcro), I took the wheel out for its first spin. It had been about 4 or 5 months since I’ve been on a wheel, but I acclimated to the ET unbelievably quickly. I told myself I wasn’t going to ride on main roads but I was already pushing mid 40’s in traffic 10 minutes in. It’s THAT easy to feel comfortable on this wheel.
Maybe my legs were tired on day two, but I was doing similar speeds and got insanely bad wobbles. Like, my feet would’ve come off the pedals if it weren’t for the great spiked pedals (I don’t really see the need to upgrade personally). Luckily I’ve been able to save every single wobble I’ve gotten after I learned the invisible chair braking technique. No bad wobbles after this; totally could’ve been user error.
I am now on day 4 with over 100 miles on the odometer, and I’ve only had to charge it twice. Riding with hard acceleration at fast speeds got me 37.7 miles with 30% battery left. It’s noticeably better than my Patton, at least it feels like it. I’m sure that once I’m comfortable pushing this wheel to its full potential, that number will only go down with my super hilly terrain. Also keep in mind that voltage climbed back up to that 30% after resting, and it was more like 20% at the end of my ride giving me beeps at around 35-40mph.
I only have a single issue and one minor gripe so far:
  • With medium hardness and zero pre-set horizontal tilt, the pedals like to tilt up a bit at both high speeds and sudden up’s and down’s. This isn’t noticeable to me with full pedal hardness and -1 tilt though. Could be fixed with a firmware update, so I’m not bothered.
  • More of a gripe, but the suspension makes clunking noises. I only mind because my Patton’s FastAce suspension was super quiet and smooth, but this suspension is still adequate after being spoiled like that. I’m 160 and the 1300lb spring is pretty alright if you nearly fully unscrew the spring tensioning ring. I’ve been told that the psi of the air chamber doesn’t matter too much and is only mandatory for the functionality of compression and dampening. Recommended psi is 50-100.
Other than those pretty insignificant cons, this wheel is a BEAST. I thought I was pushing it up hills, but when I started checking the PWM on DarknessBot I realized that I could push it so much harder. I was doing an absolute disservice to this thing, but now that I’ve gotten out and really given it a thrash, I gotta say that it’s unbelievable. You have enough high-speed power to pass cars in 45+mph traffic, and blast up hills without a single issue. Hell, even the stock pads feel great. They aren’t the best for locking your foot in, but they get the job done seeing as this wheel isn’t really meant for offroad use. It’s enough to hop curbs and hold you in if you’re accelerating so hard that you’re on your tip-toes.
By far, this is the best option on the market if you ever sell, crash (in my case), or can’t afford a motorcycle and still want that feeling of insane adrenaline. The acceleration, cornering, braking, and feeling of substantial-ness between your feet is unreal. I 100000000% recommend to just go for it. No need to wait for later batches; get it.
Please ask anything at all in the comments!

2024.05.14 09:45 SharksFlyUp This mod has definitely improved a lot, but some of its modifiers are still way too exaggerated

Played MD again for the first time in more than a year and I really like how it's improved. The economic system especially is a lot better and I like the energy and productivity dynamics. I also think the missiles/space dynamic is handled a lot better now. My big problem last time was how a lot of the modifiers (simulated in game effects of different ideas/national spirits) were way too exaggerated to the point of widespread inconsistency and a failure of basic simulation realism. I think the mod's improved a lot on that front too, but there were a couple of big continuing problems that popped up to me playing as the US.
First, population growth. It makes sense to model population growth decreasing with rising levels of development, but the values are way too strong. At normal starting level gdp/c I found it knocked population growth down by 100%. Literally completely erased it, which is decidedly unrealistic. The US, a country of 280 million people, was growing at 1000 people per year in the mod, in the real world it grew at about 1% (between 2 and 3 million) a year in the 2000s. Even without the GDP per capita thing the "scars of the war on drugs" idea was knocking it down by 50%. That's way too massive, it should be more like a tenth of that, and the same goes for the effects of different policy variables on population growth. This is also true for policies and focuses which change the structural costs of things like healthcare or social spending - the effects are way too big!
The other big issue I found was that base military production values are way too low, even at full production efficiency. I know modern equipment is far slower and more expensive to make than WW2 kit, but the mod currently takes that too far. For example, the US now produces (in full rate production) about 160 F-35s a year. With a reasonable number of factories allocated (4 to 6) at full production efficiency I could only manage a quarter of that with a comparable multirole jet. The problem wasnt really skewed output or efficiency variables, those were pretty good, it was just that the base figure is way too low. I changed it from 3 ICs per military factory to around 10 in the defines file and that made things way better. I will say however that naval production values (which the mod rightly increased from their hoi4 base) looked very realistic and I like what the mod has done with MIOs.
Also, air wing size. If even a large country making a substantial effort can only build 40 normal jets a year, 100 is definitely too big for a default air wing. A modern Air Force Wing is closer to 50, and that seems like the better compromise with the lower production volumes/higher capability of modern kit.
So to conclude, this mod has definitely come a long way, especially in its economic system, but it still gets some of the basics (military production, population growth) wrong, and I hope devs continue to improve the problem of massively exaggerated policy and idea effects.

My gf (19) and me (20m) have been dating for almost 2 years. For anonymity we’ll call her “Mary” me and Mary started dating in late 2022. Previous to her I had dated a girl who for anonymity we’ll call “Liz” I broke up with Liz to date Mary. Because I felt I couldn’t trust Liz to be loyal.
Mary is bisexual which I thought was really cool when we started dating because even the small possibility of a threesome sounded amazing. When we started dating I had 2 other bodies and Mary had 0. It took a very long time for us to be able to be intimate with each other due to her being a virgin. Even after I took her v card the sex wasn’t good and hasn’t ever been very good. I know this might sound douchey. But I’ve only ever heard compliments from previous partners. I was always able to make them finish and last for 20+ minutes. But ever since me and Mary started being intimate I’ve never been able to make her finish. The douchey part about it is I refuse to believe I’m at fault. She takes a lot of mood stabilizers and anti depressants so that’s what I blame it on. For example she takes lexapro and I’ve heard it’s virtually impossible to finish while on lexapro. After months of havin terrible unsuccessful sex. Mary decided she wanted to have a threesome and I was thrilled with the idea as most 18 year old teenage boys are. It was around this time that Mary and Liz had become close friends. (Yes they became friends after we started dating) eventually Liz brought the idea up to Mary about having a threesome and I said yes and we should do it. However shortly after I had rediscovered my relationship with god and had become more spiritual which led to me wanting to be strictly monogamous. When I told Mary she said she didn’t want to force me to do anything and said nothing would happen but they remained to be friends. Fast forward a couple weeks I looked through my gfs phone (yes I look through her phone idc, I have valid reasons) I had discovered that they had begun a full fledged emotional affair behind my back. When I confronted Mary and told her she had to cut off Liz she actually agreed. But when she no longer had her best friend in her life she became more depressed and moped around every day. So trying to be the bigger man and to look out for my gfs feelings I had a talk with Liz and tried to set boundaries. Whenever I talked to her tho she seemed to only want to talk about our relationship which I thought was weird and still do to this day. Lemme state this. I have 0 feelings towards her anymore. Yes she’s still attractive, but I no longer have any feelings beyond that. After that talk Liz and Mary were friends again. I guess they had talked about wanting to have a threesome. Because Mary had repeatedly brought it up. Even after stating I didn’t want to. She tried saying she was unhappy with our bedroom life and wanted more. I told her I’m not comfortable with it and if she wants more then she can leave and do it. She chose to drop it and stay. UNTIL August 23rd 2022. When I looked through Mary’s phone and discovered AGAIN that they had formed a full emotional affair. On top of that. Mary said how in love she was with Liz and said “that 1 time u put ur hand on my thigh made me so wet and I still masturb*te thinking about it” she proceeded to say that she hates being intimate with me and wishes it was her instead, she said she feels she has to force herself to be with me.
When reading these texts on her phone I immediately broke down. Yes being lied to and cheated her a lot. But to this day the worst part was her saying she felt she had to force herself to be intimate with me. It felt like I had been roping her for our entire relationship and that in of itself made me s*icidal. Even now almost a whole year later it still hurts me to think abt. When I read those messages immediately left Mary’s house without waking her up or saying bye. I went home and played videos games with my cousin and best friend and told them what had happened. They were just as shocked and told me I needed to confront her and discuss it with her. When she woke up I texted her saying how I found the messages and wanted to break up. She apologized profusely and said it meant nothing, and said what she said abt us wasn’t true and she wishes she could take it back. I told her I can’t see her for a while and don’t even know if I still love her. I took a week or 2 away to see how I felt. I decided to take her back and forgive her. Why? U may ask. Because I love her and I want to have kids and a future with her. This is when prob my biggest regret is. That night I saw her we were intimate…a lot, and she was more enthusiastic about it then she ever had been. I knew it was about of pity. I knew I shouldn’t. I still did. Because I’m weak. I wish I could tell u it only happened once but it didn’t. It continued like that for a while and I never turned it down. The post nut clarity after each time was terrible. She had cut off Liz and we were trying to get back to normal. I don’t remember how because that whole time was such a blur but Liz and Mary became friends AGAIN. I know I said it was okay. I just don’t remember the context behind it at all. Unfortunately. The problem is I’m very nonchalant and it’s hard for me to stay mad at things because everything feels so small to me. The reason I’m making this post is because I need to know if I’m crazy. Anyways. Fast forward to December of 2023. Me n Mary were going through a rough patch. A 2-4 month long rough patch. I just didn’t see her the same and still held resentment. We agreed to take a break from each other. The night before we broke up I went through her phone…and you’ll never guess what I found. YEP THE SAME EXACT THING. Them having an emotional affair. But this time on top of that. Mary stated that she was going to break up with me so she could be with Liz. That’s not what she told me. Obviously she said she wanted to take time away from each other and then get back together. When I saw this I was livid that this could happen 3 TIMES!!! This 1 didn’t hurt me as much because we were breaking up anyways. So when we broke up I had no intention getting back together with her. she still kept in contact with me reminding me she loved me and that she wanted to get back together. Funny part is. We were intimate more often during that time than we were when we were in a relationship. I’m sure there’s a reason why. But I couldn’t tell u. I’m sure someone else knows why.
1 of the last times we hooked up I looked through her phone. But this time I actually got a pleasant surprise. Mary said she didn’t want to date Liz and wanted to be with me. Liz obviously furious blocked her. But don’t worry not for very long. We ended up getting back together and she still to this day doesn’t know what I found the night before we broke up. We got back together in January. In February Mary and Liz became friends again. Mary continued to ask for a threeesome even after I said no. She said it would make our s*x life so much better and more fun. She wouldn’t talk to me and would belittle me whenever I would say no. She would withhold being intimate because I said no. If you’re still reading this btw I’m so appreciative and would love some advice on how to fix this and what I should do. Why am I still with her?? Because I love her. More than I’ve ever loved anybody. She’s the reason I do anything other than lay n bed. What do I do now Reddit??
