2025.01.30 18:30 driveanywhere What does this community think about the work of Michael Heiser, specifically his main book "Unseen Realm" ?
I have a decent understanding of scripture but am by no means a scholar in any sense. Someone referred me to him one day when I had questions about the Nephilim. Since then it has felt like I've bitten off more than I can chew and am concerned that some of his claims may not line up as perfectly as he tries to make them. But Im uneducated, and have no way to articulate why I feel that way and may be wrong.
Id like to know if I can feel good about continuing to get into his work. Really looking forward to one in particular "The World Turned Upside Down", but need to get through Unseen Realm first.
And just in case no one here has heard of him, here is a [video] covering the main points made in Unseen Realm. I would think that some really educated person with a Phd / Thd would be able to tell right off the bat if this is doctrinal or not. I have been sitting on this stuff for years and dont know who to ask about it

2025.01.30 18:30 Linkinbabe21 Consultation Appointment
I want to schedule an appointment at a Sephora and ask someone to tell me how I should be doing my makeup for my age and my face shape. Like, where should I be placing my blush? Or contour if I need it. In theory, they should be trained to help me, right? I ask bc in the past, I’ve gone into my local, small store and have walked out disappointed in how the makeup was applied. So I’m not sure if the people that do the applications are properly trained or are knowledgeable. Like, I don’t want to expect too much if that makes sense. Especially if I’m paying the $75 fee.

2025.01.30 18:30 JohnGradyBirdie Fix or ditch my car?
I have a 2008 Toyota Prius with 220K miles on it. (Paid off, of course.)
It needs a new 12v battery at $365 and new A/C line at $880. Total cost with diagnostic expenses is $1,565.
It is worth fixing, or should I just get a new used car at this point?
It's been a really reliable car and fits my needs for the most part. Its one major downfall is it drives poorly in the snow, and I live in a snowy state.
I make a decent living, but new car payments would affect other areas of my life.

2025.01.30 18:30 Mr-Nine [FL] Being sued for damages on a house we sold 3 years ago. (Details Below)
Hello all,
First of all thanks for taking time to read this.
Last year we received a letter from the people the purchased our home in Florida 3 years ago. They told us they accrued $8k+ in credit card debt due to damages in the house. They're suing my wife, myself, the realtor company that sold us the house, and the inspection company.
The reason they're suing us is because they say we didn't disclose that unpermitted work was done to the house. (We did no such work) The realty wholesaler company that sold us the house 5 years prior renovated the house and did all the changes. When we purchased the house all the documentation stated that the garage was legally converted. It was part of the floorplan and neither the appraisal or the inspectors mentioned anything about it not being permitted.
We lived there for 5 years with no issues at all. 3 years after we sold the house, apparently they had some damages and now are pointing at us to pay because we didn't tell them. They said "a quick search would've told you that there was unpermitted work done." Well, we had no reason to even consider that as all the documents and floorplans showed the "legally converted room." But on that same note, couldn't they have also done the "simple search" before they purchased our home?
I don't really understand why they trying to pin this responsibility on us when: 1) We didn't do the work. 2) They could've just as easily done the search before they bought the house. 3) The contract states that they were purchasing the home "AS IS."
We've spoken to a few lawyers and all of their responses have been "Let them sue. They don't really have a case." But someone is obviously telling them otherwise and pushing for the suit.
Any hints, tips, advice? We have to send a letter of defense soon and I would really love to not have to pay $8k to someone just because they feel like it.
Thanks in advance!

2025.01.30 18:30 AdFeisty7580 About Fatalis Having Crystal Eyes
 | It’s mentioned in MH4U part description that Fatalis has a crystalline eye. “The crystalline eyeball of Fatalis. One of the Three Great Treasures”. It’s unclear if this is an evolved trait, or present among other Fatalis individuals (they don’t mention anything about crystals to my knowledge) though I believe this individual suffers from the genetic condition of Cystinosis, which can cause the eyes to crystallize due to amino acid buildup. This can also cause blindness and other vision problems. It could also be that Fatalis has evolved to have incredibly protected eyes with crystals naturally being secreted, to protect its eyes from the intense flames it releases. submitted by AdFeisty7580 to MonsterHunter [link] [comments] |

2025.01.30 18:30 aerialstarz “You just need to try harder”
Im so tired of hearing this.
I have post sepsis, which destroyed my blood cell count, gave me pre diabetes, and an under active thyroid. I still get low fevers and my blood pressure randomly drops to the point I have to stop what I’m doing and lie on the floor for 20 minutes - a couple hours.
If I do too much I end up basically bed bound. I lifted heavy furniture up & down stairs and couldn’t leave my bed for 2 days after.
It’s so hard to communicate this to people. My family just doesn’t buy it and thinks I’m lazy and I need psychological help/medication.
I’m gonna see a psychiatrist either way to help me cope & my paranoia of it coming back. I check my temperature constantly & think every pain is my kidney failing again. It’s making me depressed but my problems are mainly physical.
The worst part is there’s no cure and not really any treatment. There’s no telling how long this could last. It could be a couple more months, or never go away. It’s been almost 5 months and the last month has been the worst so I don’t really have high hopes.

2025.01.30 18:30 No_Information6299 [FULL CODE] Uncover hidden trends in product reviews
TLDR:
You can use LLMs to efficiently identify key themes in datasets, capturing both general and nuanced themes like "Shipping," "Battery," and "Camera Issues" that might be hard to spot otherwise. Additionally, you can classify reviews under these themes to identify trends using minimal code.
A while ago, I experimented with using LLMs for classic machine learning tasks—often not ideal if you already have enough data and a specialized model. However, if you’re short on data or need a flexible approach, leveraging an LLM can be a lifesaver, especially for quick labeling or theme discovery in product reviews.
EXAMPLE SCENARIO Below is a single Python script showing both label discovery (aggregating data) and subsequent classification for two sample datasets. One dataset is purely text reviews, and the other contains base64-encoded images form users for simple demonstration. Replace the library calls with your own or leverage an open-source one:
- Step 1: Discover Labels
- Combine reviews into one request.
- Ask the LLM to propose recurring labels or themes.
- Step 2: Classify Reviews
- Use the discovered labels to categorize data.
- Perform concurrency if you have high-volume or real-time inputs.
from openai import OpenAI
from flashlearn.skills.discover_labels import DiscoverLabelsSkill
from flashlearn.skills.classification import ClassificationSkill
def main():
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "YOUR_API_KEY"
# Example data (text reviews)
text_reviews = [
{"comment": "Battery life exceeded expectations, though camera was mediocre."},
{"comment": "Arrived late and cracked screen, but customer support was helpful."}
]
# Example data (images + brief text)
# Here, the "image_base64" field simulates an encoded image
image_reviews = [
{"image": "ENCODED_ISSUE_IMAGE", "comment": "WHZ BOTHER WITH IT?"},
{"image": "ENCODED_ISSUE_IMAGE", "comment": "This feature is amazing!! You should charge more!"}
]
# 1) Label Discovery (Aggregates the entire dataset at once)
# discover_skill = DiscoverLabelsSkill(model_name="gpt-4o-mini", client=OpenAI())
# column_modalities={"image_base64":"image_base64", "comment": "text"}
# tasks_discover = discover_skill.create_tasks(text_reviews + image_reviews)
# discovered_labels = discover_skill.run_tasks_in_parallel(tasks_discover)['0']['labels']
# print("Discovered labels:", discovered_labels)
# 2) Classification using discovered labels
# classify_skill = ClassificationSkill(model_name="gpt-4o-mini", client=OpenAI(), categories=discovered_labels)
# tasks_classify = classify_skill.create_tasks(text_reviews + image_reviews)
# final_results = classify_skill.run_tasks_in_parallel(tasks_classify)
# print("Classification results:", final_results)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
NOTES ON USAGE 1. Installation
If you want a quick pipeline approach, you can set up a library like so:
pip install flashlearn Then import the relevant “skills” or classes for classification, label discovery, concurrency, etc.2. When to Use an LLM Approach
- Great if you have minimal (or no) labeled data.
- Fast prototyping to discover new themes.
- Easy concurrency at scale (hundreds or thousands of reviews).
