How will this change over time as we get to further iterations of Neuralink? Or even Apple Vision?

Note: I'm looking more for modern, positive news of the nature of tech, science, advanced health in a way as a futurist or transhumanist might be.

do they have an app or maybe publish/syndicate to an app?

Ask HN: What Is the Best Subscription News

Am currently working at setting up some subscription apps for real daily or weekly "needs" when paying gives a substantially better experience or really fills a gap in daily positive habits.For instance, some things like:- MONDAY for biz- Workflowy for list-making with modern instant save+sync- Down Dog HIIT for daily/bi-daily workout routine- Elevate for practical mind training- EveryDollar...

Just context embedded text captured with webpage "scrape" so you could research knowledge from disparate websites and keep growing or journaling a process you're going through rather than just separate links or stuffing in folders.

Also, would it be possible to save literally the links in text on a web page (with partial web page showing in our notes) from the HTML, and then the rest of the page that you don't make viewable can emerge in search within baked into a web browser. Think of making a Chrome extension for this. If you do a follow-up search (or previous, then it will update you) the tool will pull up search within your saved web page.

ke_ga I downloaded and like the simplicity. I think that there is a way to give the user far more utility here. At least in on large phones liked Z-Flip, or tablets, or computers. Anything touchscreen is best too.

• outline (like Workflowy)

• Wiki

The wiki will be collaborative between users or across a company in paid version of app.

The wiki will be basically a scrollable web page that has images and text. The usage pattern should be to save web pages while making optional voice transcripted records of your thoughts...and then when you do a daily or weekly review, you're actually able to do some research based organizing of the new material and place within the context of the other days' and weeks' research and saved links.

Yeah, that would be epic.

I think it might be off-topic here but maybe you can send me email. *see profile.

It is with liposomal supplementation. This means that it has a surrounding lipid so microscopic balls containing the difficult to absorb substance (especially any thiol-containing molecular compounds) like Glutathione, can make it past without other peptides inhibiting its absorption.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6389332/

Thiols science: This research is informative for the topic of the role thiol compounds plays in the antioxidant system, of which, Glutathione is scientifically considered the body's master antioxidant, it recycling (think of "guarding") SOD (Super Oxide Dismutase) and Glutathione itself being recycled by Vitamin C. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7041647/

I'm forming a hypothesis tonight, as a "citizen scientist", that the very reason why thiols are hard to absorb is because thiols are often helping to get oxidized lipids and oxidizing chemicals OUT of the body in the two ways that can physically happen. It seems interesting to me.

Re:Noisy brain may underlie some of autism's sensory features on Thursday January 18, 2024 @08:31PM (#39050543)
I have, and it was in a period of my life where I was taking all <sorts> of nootropics. Im sure you've heard of them but they're not just ADHD meds rebranded as mind enhancing or memory boosters like some of the hype would lead you to believe.

Ask me about my TEN K For The Mind. It is a stack I had fun designing in my free time and even if it never sees the light of day, it still will always be The Extraordinary Nootropic Kit For The Mind!

The [empirical] study linked in my comment found that only 6-15% of Autistic people actually have a genetic disorder like fragile x.

A multi-"salt" magnesium plus some glutathione antioxidant could temporarily calm some of the noise. Look into trans-cranial ultrasound (low power for 30-90 second sessions once or twice a day separated by at least 4 hours) (but this isn't even beyond trials yet), and Earthing which is stepping out barefoot onto the ground). Then vitamin C to recycle the glutathione, protecting it from its breakdown through its job.

All of these therapies would be calming inflammation and oxidative stress (both related to each other and to stray/excess electrical charges in the wrong places or out of control).

The magnesium I would use is "Magnesium Breakthrough" by "BIOptimizers" since it contains a large variety of salts. The bio-availability and especially the preferential uptake into specific organs...of Mg seems to be dependent on form, or salt.

And MIT students, a few years back, invented Magnesium-Threonate is also of therapeutic use as one possible tool, since it increases synapse density and neuroplasticity. Giving the chance of a brain to basically re-wire itself can be helpful when it is not functioning properly.

Lastly, fish oil, not snake oil, is going to help the body make the best membrane-encapsulated neuron bodies so that the brain is shuttling its neurotransmitters (which are basically signaling molecules) in a smooth and balanced functional pattern.

Other areas for YOU to RESEARCH before purchasing anything are these two things: Probiotics (like Seed DS-01), and Light. Look for a red and infrared light for winter and even summer use. It modifies the power of mitochondria. See this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3179978/#:~:tex....

It always helps to be the doctor but if you can't be for lack of time or dont have a naturally discerning mind, then get an opinion from a hormone or sports clinic which is designed to optimize, not a family doctor who wants food on kids' plates rather than competition with supplements. And your kid does need to eat food too, as a base. It might just be that doctors have an inborn instinct to protect their valuable secret knowledge from falling into three wrong hands like a Google algorithm unless you have the right keywords, then you'll be rewarded with the right knowledge. I'd like a conversation of such insights as you might have about this and autism, given the fact that also when I was a child, I felt like I was pretty much just watching the life around me and taking notes, or not developing attention and communicating with kids my age in school or making friends.

If you want your kid to talk more but they have autism, maybe introduce from an interest of their's to a conversational style designed to be technical and teach the vocabulary of the thing that they like learning about.

The name is Enoq. It is still largely in stealth but it's been worked on content-wise for several years now so thre's been substantial progress in the LVM (Letter Value Meanings) document I have meticulously crafted. Think of reverse-engineering and that's basically what I've been studying as part of an autodidactic journey. Even the LbL-D (Letter-by-Letter Meanings) document is over 100 pages of words, but the old ones were practice compared to what I have now.

Cat = C as random, A as routes, T as to a target. Cow = C as random, O as spots, in a C as field/pasture, W as where the cow eats/grazes the grass.

I'll share a semi-complicated Letter Value:

    • W
experience, propagation [probabilities] (potential), something happening through or because of experience and strength for it, circumstantial, by way of, practical work you've been trained and educated for or learned through experience, wheel turning, travel, footprint, movement

or simpler:

    • A
to a degree, angle of openness, (more and more by degrees), finding or navigating a route, arrow, adjustment, changes, selective inclusion, making up, options/choices, fitness (of data or candidates), traveling in a direction, flipping through (selecting different perspectives, like a gear or revolver), queryable database, regularly

It's an emerging "state of the art" where art is the emergence of language through however long it's taken humanity to build, and a science because it's a repeatable theory. In fact, a platonic form is basically a repeatable theory. (non-natural OR emergent Pattern)

Enoq, my startup, has potential for AI to find patterns, new and old, in a language, English, that works really well for relaying ideas between people.

It's just me right now.

Re:Our language, our world on Monday January 15, 2024 @08:16PM (#39008220)
Roots of words are not...because they must be crippled and limited in order to be even cross-compatible at all. But letters are better at. being cross-compatible. A root may as well be a source-code coming from the research into our previous languages like Latin, Greek, Hebrew, etc. But this is only so helpful.

What if you can know that a foot is F as low, lifting and lowering, OO as alternating (also see roof), and step by step from pOint A to point B, and T as the delta/difference/distance along the path. ?

Why do you think wAlk is made of an arrow and coW and Walk both have a footprint, one below foot and one below mouth/head. ?

We're talking about serious AI value here.

Re:Our language, our world on Monday January 15, 2024 @08:05PM (#39008149)
Any good understanding of language and semantics wouldn't be complete without substantial insight into the platonic relationships that linguists have threaded through the word-forms that represent the concepts that we want to talk about and share meaning.

I think we MAY find something supportive of our desire to understand our connection between humans as we follow the path that the e evidence leads us to upon further investigation of a theory, "form follows function even when the function is chaos", seen in a recently released science news, but a possible way to predict emergent chaos, geometry-wise. https://physicsworld.com/a/could-the-geometry-of-chaos-be-fu... . Possibly a simulation type of theory is relevant here.

Anyway, language is made of words, words are made of letters, and letters are [made of shapes] - with meaning attached to all these different layers, and concepts are made of understanding (where under is friendly but different substance than abstraction).

Or you can say abstraction can have opposites, either statistical and lazy (above standing; the outer), or reverse-engineered/causative working layer and fundamental (under standing; the inner). The lazy way only transfers cases but not causes like you can do through fundamentals.

Root words are (more) de facto in the direction of statistics but don't emerge from "source".

If you truly had a way to understand letter meaning what would you do with it with AI or HI? It's a really powerful skillset that should get some play in our society of the minds.

My startup has linguistic self-knowledge because it under/inner stands from letters onto words and therefore it's Generative in a fairly straightforward function anyone with a mind can get into.
