Future proofing inevitable things should be something to talk about more.

For instance, people will be scraping at a "growing" rate as they figure out how everything AI works. We might as well figure out some standard seeded data packages for training that ~all sources/sectors agree to make available as public torrents to reduce this type of problem.

[I realize this ask is currently idealistic, but it's an anchor point to negotiate from.]


I wore their away kit for Halloween this year :D

But I suspect they're just like all the others -- looking for credentialling where it doesn't yet exist.

[Guess we'll find out... not holding my breath for what would be a dream for us both]


Diabetes causes rupturing of small blood vessels, which has been seen in eyes and feet. It would follow that the same is happening in the brain and an anti-diabetic medicine would directly improve brain longevity in affected individuals.

*I am not a doctor, but also I can correlate data without bias.


Half of what keeps me going is the belief that I can randomly wander into this forum and witness black magic being tossed around like spare change. ;D


Yeah, still gotta enjoy nature without a crick in the neck.


Thanks for this.

I just pulled one [dug in] that I assume got on me meters away from a fully eaten deer carcass :/

Tweezed it out best I could, H2O2'd and lightly cauterized it then Neosporin'd, but still gonna have to play the bullseye waiting game AFAIK...

Got dang ticks!


It takes time for a tick to transmit lyme disease, but you can also take a single dose of doxycycline as post-exposure prophylaxis if you think it was attached for a while and ask a doctor


They recommend that dose if it’s been attached more the 36 hours and it’s less than 72 hours since removed. I fell into this slot last fall and got a single dose of doxycycline.

Odd how the sibling comment got downvoted into oblivion for this, but you're right - prophylaxis is an option here, and last I checked it was the recommended course of action if you develop the bullseye ring. Note that the tests have high false negative rates, so still might be sensible if you have a negative test.

Of course, these antibiotics are not without risk too.


Some points correcting what's been posted here and above. A single dose of Doxycycline is not an effective prophylactic. It failed me and other people I know (after my doctor and I read over the CDC guideline that was misinformation). The original study supporting it was poor regarding how it was established as effective (required the bullseye rash). The bullseye rash does not appear for everyone. Depending on the attach point/strength, ticks pass along bacteria and/or viruses in minutes. Testing the tick and monitoring yourself for symptoms is always a good practice. I prefer clothing & topical solutions vs ingested chemicals.

It would be nice to see support for natural consumption of ticks by fowl (chickens, turkeys, quail, etc), marsupial, etc.


What I read was that the bullseye was considered sufficient evidence even without a positive test to administer antibiotics. I don't know the recommended dose, perhaps a single dose is not enough.

What exactly are you correcting here?


You can take a prophylactic dose of doxycycline for 1-2 days I believe. If you have a lot of ticks in your area a general physician should be familiar with that protocol.


Put it in the freezer as you wait the bullseye game. If you do think you have Lyme's disease then bring the tick with you to the doctor, so that they confirm it.


First symptom of Lyme is very distinct red oval on a place that got bit, if you see it then evaluating the tick is kinda pointless at that point.


Not every Lyme infection has a corresponding bullseye, or it will be in a location that you can't see easily.

Therr are also other tick borne illnesses that can be quite dangerous.


TIL, thank you for informing me.


To solve that:

Assumption: Apple's supply chain is gold standard [~max iterative tech envelope push & max known demand]

Hypothesis: This is swiftly re-creatable for any [max believable & max useful] product. "Detroit, waiting".


This is the kind of discussion that will get us micro-cybernetics in that ~1 year window.


> "you have a 15 body problem simply to have anything..."

I like that! Although...Physics [so gpu] is enough to do it, when supplied with an optimized way to "know" momentary_[intent/\status] as a reduced ongoing string of equations.


I’m not going to pretend I know anything about the field, nor do I intend to insult your comment … but this reads to me exactly like the reduction of the subject that the article mentions.


One would think...all of the above.

I think, really, the emperor has had no clothes for quite some time. But -- now that we are here, the optimal path is towards open standards.

All historical business acumen points straight to black-box profit bubble. The enormity of what "Useful Robotics" will bring about has got to transcend that.


...as soon as the MBAs realize "no bubble", in real actuality, Means "very many even bigger bubbles", and usher forth to unleash their true potential... we are set!
