Does "tokens per dollar" have a "moore's law" of doubling?
Because while machine-learning is not actually "AI" an exponential increase in tokens per dollar would indeed change the world like smartphones once did
Yes, this is a class of thing that is obviously being studied. Check out tesamorelin etc. but there is also a Phase 1 somewhere for BPC-157.
The peptides themselves are being used for everything but realistically, considering the costs, you have to innovate a little. Here’s a little example with GLP-1: the core biology and mechanism were well understood. But use was like the grey market peptides you were talking about: a daily injection. Half life is super short because DPP4 chews through.
So you need some innovation first to make it last so that you can bring it to market. Perhaps they misread the market and didn’t realize that for sufficient weight loss people would inject daily. But anyway, the liraglutide, dulaglutide, semaglutide, are various attempts at this to preserve function while raising half life in the body.
If you want to accelerate this research you’re really going to have to reform the whole process of medical testing and this and that but most things are not so dangerous that you need to rush to release a drug. Not everything is COVID-19 or obesity. Getting a PDA trial so some few people can heal faster from workout injuries is probably going to be a hard sell, even on this forum.
I’m of the view that the combination of grey market and clean market supply is a great way to serve latent desire as well as safe mass access.
One funny thing that a researcher told me (on seeing my lab notebook of my retatrutide self tests) is that it complicates baseline wide population studies. The total population is also losing weight, not just known GLP-1RA users. It turns out grandpa and grandma are reconstituting vials with BAC in New Salem, Oklahoma.
Right now ICE hasn't opened any of their human warehouse "internment camps"
and their quota is "only" 3000 souls per day
Now scale that out 1,000 more days and predict what's going down
Every tourist will be a viable target, there are no consequences for arresting people with paperwork, it just meets quota
Heck they could be grabbing athletes, there were some events this year in US where athletes from various countries in Africa could not get visa permits
I'm still trying to figure out the justification of ICE operating in foreign countries. Are there illegal immigrants in Italy? This is not about immigration.
Studies also show you do NOT need DHA and DHA can be detrimental, you want pure EPA or very high EPA to DHA ratio
if you want the purest Omega3 EPA without all the contaminants that are in OTC supplement nonsense (they are completely unregulated and untested by batch)
ask your doctor for a script of generic VASCEPA
CostPlusDrugs has the cheapest generic Vascepa that I've found
The dose is usually two pills a day but trust me on this, start with one for a long time, it takes your GI a long time to handle it without bathroom urgency
> "An X-ray diffraction study found that EPA and DHA exert different effects on the lipid bilayer of cell membranes. EPA readily incorporates into the cell membrane core and stabilizes it, whereas DHA does not"
> "Why does this matter? Cell membranes are essential for cellular function: not only do they provide structural support for cells, but they also facilitate cell-to-cell communication and nutrient/toxin transport. Different effects of EPA and DHA on membrane stability likely elicit different effects in cell signaling. A second study revealed that in addition to stabilizing cell membranes, EPA is also protective against harmful reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation"
basically EPA modulates the immune system, DHA does not
That's evidence of possible low-level protective mechanisms, but what really matters in the end is the effect on cognition, which in RCTs have favored DHA.
That high profile prison "suicide" in Paris from the modeling agency founder was connected between Epstein and Russia, basically a front to get visas into US for the women
But again, UK and EU will document far before US ever will because Russian mafia owned entire floors in Trump Tower
Wikipedia has developed a strong anti-Israel bias, particularly since Oct 7. If we ignore Wikipedians' spin and look at actual data like the Global Slavery Index, Israel is ranked 114th out of 160 countries, meaning better than 71% of countries. It's similar to the US, and better than all of its regional neighbors.
Battlezone and later 3D games used different circuitry that generated vectors with analog circuitry and used a “math box” coprocessor based on Am2901 bit slice ALUs to help with the 3D math.
Central Point Software, the makers of Copy II PC, was one of our customers (we created back office software, order processing etc.).
It was a pretty healthy business, not just for the copy protection breaking but also the general tools software.
Funny story:
I was at their offices working on a project when they were getting ready to ship out the new version. Their warehouse was connected to the office building and they were producing all of the final copies and loading them on trucks to get sent to the distributors.
In the morning they gave the all clear for the first wave of trucks to leave, then about 4 hours later someone found a bug and they had to call all of the trucks back to the warehouse, unload, re-create new clean product etc.
They did this about 3 times before that version finally made it to the distributors.
not just illness but age too will "bitrot" your brain
fifteen years ago I decided to fiddle around one winter and learn a newfangled thing called "bitcoin" and setup my computer to run 24/7 and heat my apartment as a benefit
after mining a dozen coins which were worth next to nothing then, I gave up and took apart the PC and put it away
fast-forward to 2020 and covid/long-covid has now rotted my brain, swiss-cheesed my mind to the point I cannot remember the password for the life of me
I was too clever then for future me, and used a long passphrase that made funny sense then but beyond me now
(they are worth over a million dollars at times now)
In hindsight:
go find a book in your library and pick a random page and write the password or a significant hint to the password on that page and then put it away (don't put any other indication on that paper)
then a shadow off a passenger jet looks like a drone to the cameras
I figured they were using the EMP-like device they used in Venezuela
(what the orange infant disclosed as top secret "the discombobulator" no really google it)
