I was prescribed diazepam and it was an important part of my healing when I suffered a back injury. The doctor prescribed the 'holy trinity' for severe back pain: diclofenac for anti inflammatory, cocodamol for pain and diazepam to control muscle spasms and help me sleep. It worked like magic.
The doctor gave me the minimum amount of pills to get me through the initial chronic period, 7 days, and I was very grateful to be made comfortable.
I was lucky that my back healed quickly, even after a few days on the drugs I detected a feeling of dependency creeping up.
TDK C-90 10-packs were my favourites as a teenager in the 80s in Australia. And for an extra dose of nostalgia, here is the "TDK does amazing things" ad from 1984.
I believe Spotify has some blame in the devaluation of streaming music by stuffing playlists with (the blandest) music that they commission directly from artists in order to avoid paying royalties to record labels.

GLM 5.3 flash has been good as my default profile Hermes bot, after I readjusted its memory to point to a couple of key skills.
I got some great coding results with GLM 5.2, and 5.3 Flash is supposedly almost as good, so I will be trying it out soon for day to day tasks as the post advises.
I've been using GLM 5.3 Flash quite a lot for coding this month since they've had their promotion running. It's been tackling some difficult stuff - coding up a Julia version of the luminal GPU kernel optimization package, FPGA work with Verilog (including getting a BitNet 2B model running on FPGA - that one's been split between Claude and GLM), coding up a Julia version of DiffLUT. It's been handling these tasks pretty well. I do move between Claude Sonnet 5.5 & GLM 5.3-flash on the BitNet one based on what's available.
It's still in process so we're not getting tokens out of it yet. Targetting a Gowin 138K (the Tang Retro Console 138K board). This is moving from a Xilinx part that's about 2x that size so we have to trade some time for space. Estimated to be in the 7tok/sec when it's all said and done. Not super fast, but this isn't a super fast (clockrate) FPGA. And at 138K LUTs it's pretty small for this kind of task (but it is the largest FPGA that I've got, and the boards are quite affordable at $129 which includes 8GB of DDR3 - which is another reason it's kind'a of slow, DDR3 is kind'a slow)

Profound, your comment provoked this thought: we know that AI in organizations is disruptive, but we still don’t understand some of the shifting patterns of power, communications, agency, etc.
If AI is not well-suited for traditional models of stratified management then maybe we need different models of bureaucracy?
Sorry the UI on Mobile is work in progress and currently, it's not accessible via Mobile (small screens); my plan is to creeate a special touch friendly UI for mobile and I haven't finished the concept (UX wise).
Sharing HTML files with embedded Javascript is problematic: iOS users can't open the files directly, and have to save the file and then 'open with ... '.
