It didn't set off my slop detectors.  It was relatively short, didn't repeat a lot, and was saying something that I hadn't seen a lot of before.  Can you articulate what set off your slop detectors?</p><p>It *was* very anecdata-heavy, but that didn't surprise me.  I have heard anecdata about internal tremors/buzzing being a problem in Long COVID, and I think I've only seen tremors mentioned once in the academic lit.  I assume it's because doctors don't care about tremors/buzzing because it can't be seen or measured.  Similarly, balance problems can't be measured, and I bet doctors think balance is an easily-solved problem with e.g. a cane or a walker.</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mstdn.ca/users/ducky/statuses/116507094340817416</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mstdn.ca/users/ducky/statuses/116507094340817416</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[ducky@mstdn.ca]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 02 May 2026 21:26:16 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to This week&#x27;s Pandemics in BC blog posts:General: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;covidbc.webfoot.com&#x2F;2026&#x2F;05&#x2F;01&#x2F;2026-05-01-general&#x2F;BC: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;covidbc.webfoot.com&#x2F;2026&#x2F;05&#x2F;01&#x2F;2026-05-01-bc&#x2F;#covid19bc #covid19 #covid #measles #rsv on Sat, 02 May 2026 17:10:31 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/ducky%40mstdn.ca" rel="nofollow noopener">@<span>ducky</span></a></span> Not too pleased with that WHN article, which reads as LLM output, and doesn't cite anyth8ing at all.</p><p>I feel like the WHN is doing a disservice by publishing slop where so many of us are struggling to find truth in polluted and adversarial information landscape.</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://zeroes.ca/users/datum/statuses/116506088667477481</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://zeroes.ca/users/datum/statuses/116506088667477481</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[datum@zeroes.ca]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 02 May 2026 17:10:31 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
