There's ways that prevent it - - Freeze all code after an update through permissions - Don't make most directories writeable - Don't allow file uploads, or limit file uploads to media

There's a few plugins that do this, but vanilla WP is dangerous.

Hey Pete --

Love the article - you may want to lock down your API endpoint for chat. Maybe a CAPTCHA? I was able to use it to prompt whatever I want. Having an open API endpoint to OpenAI is a gold mine for scammers. I can see it being exploited by others nefariously on your dime.

This isn't really something you'd ship in a car though. It's cool that we have such a rich ecosystem of devices that this can be made "off-the-shelf" - but for production use in a car? Not really practical.

Did people just... do this by hand (in software), transistor by transistor, or was it laid out programmatically in some sense? As in, were segments created algorithmically, then repeated to obtain the desired outcome? CPU design baffles me, especially considering there are 134 BILLION transistors or so in the latest i7 CPU. How does the team even keep track of, work on, or even load the files to WORK on the CPUs?

I spent years on the self-medication supplement train. I still take Vitamin D and a few other modest supplements, but I finally got REAL relief after just biting the bullet and trying nearly every anti-depressant under the sun. After a few, my doctor did a DNA test to determine gene-drug interaction because of the wild results I was having. Thankfully, this was covered under my insurance. It shed a lot of light on why many of the pills I had taken failed -- the test showed they're likely to have bad reactions based on my genes.

We used the information to choose Viibyrd, a fairly new anti-depressant (2011). I've kind of become an evangelist for it since.

It works like a traditional SSRI but also affects the 5-HT1A receptors. Another great feature of the medication is that it usually takes less than a week to notice results -- and results I noticed.

I've been plagued with anxiety since age 18 and depression since I was a kid. For the first time in 11 years, I'm anxiety free. For the first time in a long time, I'm nearly depression free.

The best part? I'm myself. I'm not dull. I'm not a zombie. Some of my other impulsivity and ADHD symptoms vanished. I'm way more productive, social, and less afraid to take on life.

It was fun and interesting to do the whole supplement stack, but ultimately a huge time and money waster. I spent far less time going to my Psychiatrist and trying different options to get REAL results.

I feel like in many ways Nootropic supplements are the Homeopathy for Nerds -- we're using cutting edge research to anecdotally try to fix our issues, and ignoring that even we're just as susceptible to the placebo effect as the rest of the population.

Here's a good read that's sort of on topic about the stigma of medication and mental illness:
