generally interested in big data mining or analytics, however open to all domains since I find probabilistic algo and ds really interesting
thanks for sharing those links!!!!
There is no production line for the current generation bolts. They're building a production line for a new architecture (MY2025+), but there are some significant changes to that design that many people might consider negative (e.g. lack of Android Auto/carplay) alongside the standard risks of buying a first generation architecture.
Discontinued doesn't mean unavailable. I thought it was cancelled as well and took a look at Wikipedia. According to that source there will be a new model at some indeterminate point in the future.
I enjoyed the "Rafting Trip" as well, side tracking a bit, anyone have course recommendation for ML ranking and ML recommendation courses or probabilistic data structures and algorithm (for example, bloom filter, Freivalds' algorithm that make multiplying matrix to O(n^2) etc.... etc)?
FWIW, around a month ago I researched how to open a Turkish bank account in order to benefit from the high interest rate level by depositing some money there, but I had to give up. It seems to be hard to impossible for a non-resident.
(The OP talks about central bank rates and a recent increase, but consumer banks have had accounts with high rates (relative to other investment alternatives) for a long time. Just nowhere as high as this.)
Lira obviously. There used to be a Lira savings account scheme which was protected against FX risk by the government to encourage savings in Lira but I believe that's no longer offered.
turkish lira, venezuela month before a the hiper inflation and total default risk have 30% in dollars.
42% is dumb the inflation 42.5% so probably banks are making bucks here taking debt under inflation rate and lending over it, like happens in aregentina betwen 2008-2014.
For those that are curious and not well verse in research level biology, what kind of food, drink and lifestyle will help maintain a gut biome that prevent Alzheimer
Fatty fish, most nuts (that don't have high omega-6, which is inflammatory), fruits high in antioxidants like berries and dark fruit in general, colorful vegetable, cooking with olive/avocado/sunflower oil, *kefir* which is the champion of all good microbiota inducers
As for avoiding: red meat (high in omega-6), gluten (chickpea, rice, lentil pasta instead of wheat), cooking with hydrogenated oils, preservatives, processed food, refined sugar
The lists could be much longer. Look up anti-inflammatory diet aka mediterranean diet. What I will say is adhering to this diet has done as much for my inflammatory condition as all the medication. With some foods I feel their effect right away (pork, too much sugar), with some it sneaks up as I let it slip for a few days. So I stand by it.
Red meat is not necessarily high in omega 6, and on the contrary grass fed meat can be high in omega 3. Also the debate is still out on whether or not omega 6 is inflammatory or not, and even omega 6 rich nuts are probably health promoting in typical quantities. From my understanding gluten is probably fine for those that don’t have a sensitivity. I think you should caveat your claims about diet since we don’t totally know to an absolute manner yet.
Fair enough, I'll rephrase it this way: most large mammal meat causes inflammation for me and my partner, whereas chicken, turkey, fish, rabbit, etc are all fine (and I should say I used to basically eat meat with carbs). As far as omega fatty acids are concerned, I believe one shouldn't let their omega-6 and omega-9 levels be much higher than omega-3. Gluten is associated with all sorts of issues that I think we will be learning more about in the next few years. There are plenty of alternatives so that one is easy for me. I can still make pasta (chickpea, lentil, brown rice), and use tortillas (almond, chickpea, cassava).
Exactly this, I get regular blood work. On top of that, I can feel the inflammation. It is pressure, or warmth. It's a very obvious bodily reaction. Now of course for the average immune system the effects would be more subtle, but could still be noticed in energy levels, focus/attention, etc. And even if not noticeable, low-grade inflammation long term is one of the main factors of age-related decline.
Among inflammatory substances, alcohol is the elephant in the room. Cutting out alcohol is the lowest hanging fruit in this garden. Unfortunately, people convince themselves that it is perfectly healthy when consumed in small quantities every day. Anybody who monitors their health/fitness parameters with a smart watch will notice how damaging alcohol is.
I'm a fermentation freak so I have to highlight how uncooked fermented foods like sauerkraut and the aforementioned kefir play into anti-inflammation [0].
yes. I had to heal my gut and kimchi and sauerkraut plus the occasional Kefir are great. I also take from time to time zinc L-carnosine and L-glutamine, great for the gut as well.
If we're focusing on effects of diet on immune systems, especially those not functioning nominally, it is quite readily available information now. Was not so half a decade ago. The immune system is affected strongly by gut microbiota health, therefore it is a solid base to assume the same applies dietary considerations apply for Alzheimer's.
I'm going to plug a health model rapidly gaining mainstream acceptance by healthcare providers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biopsychosocial_model?wprov=sf...
It posits that all factors of life are important for overall good health. The TL;DR is that one needs to consider diet, exercise, socialization, hobbies, etc in addition to whatever medication regimen is helping.
This is impossible to say if you do not know your genetics. For example, being a FUT2 non-secretor will change everything about what you eat. Trust me, I am a FUT2 non-secretor. So in my case I need to eat a lot of seaweed and mushrooms which are both high in fucose (not fructose!).
Generalizing but it seems that harmful microbiota prefers glucose but leaves behind bad metabolic byproducts. Whereas beneficial microbiota leaves behind lactic acid? So maybe lactofermented foods will help.
I've been on a journey of hyper-optimisation of my nutrition for various goals (sport performance, health, intellectual performance, etc). Mediterranean diet seem to be the GOAT in most cases
"... something as simple as taking fish oils had reduced dementia risk by 9%. This is equivalent to the risk reduction found from quitting smoking. However, the effect is not the same without B vitamins."
So yeah. My summary simply illuminates the pathway/reason why as well as why there are so many confusing comorbidities.
Every kind of food processing has trade offs including cooking which destroys vitamin C among other things.
White rice was historically missing thiamine (B1) found in brown/hole which was killing off a surprisingly large number of people in Asia as it became popular. Now days foods are often fortified with various things to cover the most common and severe issues, but that’s probably not enough on its own.
In terms of highly processed foods you run into various additives. There’s a long list of minimally studied additives/dyes/preservatives/etc being used only for them to later be recalled and replaced with some other poorly studied substances. Ignorance may be a legal defense for Nabisco adding X to their products, but it’s not going to protect your health.
So, the advice is basically to have the absolute minimum amount of processing steps which is a surprisingly useful heuristic alongside having a varied diet including lots of different plants.
Industrial processing. As a simple rule, the longer the list of ingredients on the food label, the more processed. The ingredients aren't something you'd normally think of as food? More processed.
Another way I've heard it stated: "single ingredient foods." And as you prepare them, try to keep them that way.
For example, adding a ton of butter to potatoes makes them 10x less healthy. More or less, calorically they become fries. Fries taste great but they should be an occasional treat, not a staple.
Keep in mind that if you buy a bunch of "let's pretend it's not processed" "healthy" foods and use them to cook a meal, you're a) creating an ultra-processed meal, and b) it now has a long list of ingredients, you're just not writing it down.
I take it you interpret "save money" to mean keep yourself barely fed, clothed and housed, and otherwise consuming the bare minimum so that you can maximize the amount you put away?
If not, you might want to loosen your interpretation of words in other domains, too.
CockroachDB is many cool things but not even remotely in a the same category as fdb in terms of the transaction rates it can deal with per unit cost and you wouldn’t be mapping complex data structures into cdb; it’s not what it is for.
They just aren't the same thing. It’s like comparing a binary tree to json. If you squint you can see how they could be similar but really aren’t.
Speak with your doctor about this, especially because I am not one, but from what I understand, the ones that you have a family history for, are pre-diposed by environment, the common ones, and the ones caught by usual body checks / tests during check ups. Again, not giving advice but things you can start a conversation with your doctor with.
The other comment basically got it. Ask doctor particularly with family history. All cancers are better treated if caught earlier but some like colorectal cancer have much less severe outcomes if caught early on (eg removing a large segment of colon vs a small polyp)
It's not so much for search (although it can obviously be used that way) as it is for just computing various kinds of similarity/dependency for arbitrary vectors of equal length.
To the extent you would want to use it for vector/semantic search applications, I would advise doing a first pass with something like FAISS to narrow down the list of potential matches from the entire universe of stored vectors, and THEN trying to compute these other measures of similarity/dependency only on the "most likely" vectors using my library. Hopefully that makes sense.
With a similar probability focus, Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning by Christopher Bishop [1] is pretty good. If you are looking into deep learning specifically, I think François Chollet's Deep Learning with Python is one of the most accessible books.
I think "Understanding Deep Learning" is very nice - https://udlbook.github.io/udlbook/ (an covers almost all topics, it has maybe just a couple of omissions, such as Multimodal Learning, NERFs and Time Series Prediction)
