Peter Swales (historian)

Peter J. Swales (born 1948) is a Welsh "guerilla historian of psychoanalysis",[1] and former assistant to the Rolling Stones, who has written essays and letters[1] about Sigmund Freud. A 1998 article in The New Republic magazine noted his "remarkable detective work over the last 25 years, revealing the true identities of several early patients of Freud's who had been known only by their pseudonyms."[2] He is one of three men (the others are Freud Archives director Kurt R. Eissler and psychoanalyst Jeffrey Masson) whose machinations are described in the 1984 book In the Freud Archives, which originated as two articles in The New Yorker magazine that provoked Masson to file an unsuccessful $10 million libel suit against the magazine and its writer Janet Malcolm.

gollark: It would take ages to download so I'd prefer not to if it probably won't work.
gollark: Speaking of somewhat underpowered hardware, can I use the 2.7B GPT-Neo model on my RTX 2060 (6GB VRAM) in half precision? Multiplication leads me to think it's possible just considering the parameters, but some internet things imply it won't work presumably because of storing other stuff.
