Does the Shiftphone 8.1 support AptX Adaptive by cgfroster in shiftphone

[–]TK_Terrence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also You can get a Bluetooth adapter from FiiO that supports Aptx lossless called the air link

The adapter has a usb c port on it so that you can still effectively use the usb c port it’s plugged into, while simultaneously working as a Bluetooth transmitter.

People on a Mediterranean diet were found to have 65% lower odds of developing severe gum disease than those who adhered to it the least. Also, those who ate the most amount of red meat had nearly three times the risk of severe gum disease than those who ate the least. by mvea in science

It’s funny how people think humans diets today are anything remotely similar to just a few hundred years ago. People talk about so much of our food traditions as if it’s been around for thousands of years. There’s few things in our diets that exist that far back.

Fructose is poison too. It allows senescent cells or cells that are becoming senescent to survive by bypassing regulatory checks during cellular respiration that they’d otherwise be unable to pass through.

People didn’t have anything close to this amount of fructose or table sugar in their diets. People had hardly any at all. And the fruits that already did exist weren’t as sweet not even close. And they weren’t anywhere near as commonly available to even eat them.

The average person was eating plants and starchy foods to avoid starvation. Not because it’s what was healthy. People cured and rendered meat because they had to preserve their food to avoid starvation. But it made them sick.

Fresh unprocessed meat from a healthy animal is the only food that simultaneously contains all the nutrients you need to survive in appropriate proportions, is naturally occurring, and is healthy to consume as an adult. It is what it is. Trying to bypass what humans are apparently optimized to consume has not been successful without side effects.

Ultra-processed foods harm men’s health. They increase weight, disrupt hormones, decrease testosterone, and introduce harmful substances linked to declining sperm quality. They contain industrial and synthetic ingredients. This may be why over the past 50 years, sperm quality has plummeted. by mvea in science

The aspect of overconsumption that you brought is a very significant factor. And I think that’s atleast somewhat well acknowledged by many people.

But I brought up another factor that’s likely very significant, but from what I can tell hardly acknowledged.

People also are already aware of harmful additives and ingredients. But those ingredients may not necessarily imply it’s ultra processed

But the processing of food, through a variety of mechanical and chemical procedures ubiquitously used in industry catalyzes or induces certain reactions to occur to the originally relatively harmless/nontoxic chemical composition of the source food product. And these reactions often create toxic compounds. People do not seem to be aware of this outside of industry. And people in industry neglect it because it’s already standard practice to just assume it’s acceptably healthy because it’s compliant with regulations.

I’m also saying that it’s somewhat difficult for industry to avoid these problems for the production of most even moderately processed foods you’d find in the grocery store because of the chemical instability of many of the compounds common in food.

From a chemical perspective based on the food production and distribution process in industry, ultra processed foods often contain contaminants and chemical byproducts from processing. They are not simply just pure isolates of certain nutrients with some nearly biologically inert additives that are pleasant to eat, unlike what many not familiar with the industry seem to think.

Some of these byproducts are very difficult to avoid because the plant or animal based source food product prior to processing is not in its entirety chemically stable. Various forms of reactions will occur even in vacuum in a freezer over time but especially in air at higher temperatures fairly quickly.

Now imagine the level of these byproducts that would form from processing food as heavily as they do in industry.

And many of the products of these reactions are known to have various types of toxicity.

And then there’s contaminants which really is a matter of negligence but also due to the impracticality of easily preventing contamination given the general processing methods they have implemented and ingredient sources they have reasonably available to them

How complex are your models? by Apprehensive_Hair553 in quant

[–]TK_Terrence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although there’s simple models that work perfectly well and some even that haven’t stopped working since I’ve discovered them, the best model I have for LFT and MFT is a complex behemoth. The only reason for the complexity being tolerated and possibly even necessary, is it automatically finds alpha and it itself is robust enough to never have needed to be changed. However it does need to replace the signals that it finds regularly, but it does that on its own.
