_c3ag··on Undetectable very-low frequency sound increases dancing at a live concert
oh finally the hi-fi market can step up and provide 0 up to 100.000 hz speakers and of course, composers composing feelings of hypothetical effects or melodies under 20 hz!!!!
_c3ag··on Sonic Pi – The Live Coding Music Synth for Everyone
yes, tho, verbose… you may have a better time using Csound and its score paradigm! http://www.csounds.com/manual/html/ScoreTop.html
_c3ag··on An unwilling illustrator found herself turned into an AI model
yeah! i think AI tools must be transparent of the input, period.

it feels too unfair leading a new art style and simply be copied with machine precision and speed… opting to not contribute to the neural network database should be a thing but i do not know how reverse engineering of output can be done

_c3ag··on Gamification affects software developers: Cautionary evidence from GitHub
coding, specially for open-source projects does not even gets close on how much cognition you have to burn vs. watching TikTok…

i would have someone coding with me excited by seeking knowledge rather than trying to reach level 75 on Github…

not even mentioning what is gamification? are levels based on dark patterns on video-games, created with the intention of making players waste more time or get more addicted?

and then what is the end point of having someone full of badges and trophies on their profile? to compare oneself with others and feel bad? have benefits over others that a hierarchical system has?

append: i am not typing levels were created specifically for a dark-pattern introduction but nowadays, even if the game is not free, these practices are done to make players addicted. and i can not feel how someone really interested into get better at coding, would care

_c3ag··on Psychiatry Wars: a lawsuit that put psychoanalysis on trial
science does not have answers to everything and it admits that. plus different psychologist, different results! you can not blame an entire method just because you tried once or twice! there is ton of ways of approaching CBT and DBT which may work or not for you

now do you think is BS to repress some form of treatment that can not get any valid proof and its rate of success is equal than a placebo? * plus i said it should be considered a crime recommending BEFORE any other type of more-prone-to-solve-your-problem method

_c3ag··on Psychiatry Wars: a lawsuit that put psychoanalysis on trial
‘thousands lines’ of gossip to not inform the reader about psychoanalysis…

which personally i hope starts to get less and less popular! giving placebo to patients that can suicide, for me, should be considered as homicide if recommended BEFORE any other type of treatment with a rate greater than “eating blades of grass” and thinking you are cured or will be cured

_c3ag··on Study links omega-3s to improved brain structure, cognition at midlife
what are you doing to worry about hip fracture? are you a rock climber? despite all the advantages of a strictly vegetarian diet, like better stamina, endurance etc. worrying about calcium intake is a bit mislead. as there is a big difference of having a slight lower bone density than omnivores and getting worried about having your bones broke.

it is like the argument of omega-3 content of flaxseeds and chia being poor translated into useful chains of acid like DHA… all you have is to increase your intake on the ballpark of 160% rather than 100% from animal sources… which translate in having to eat the enormous amount of 3 tbsp of chia per day, so you can overcome the “inefficiency”

plus not even getting into who are the vegan people being researched on osteoporosis rate. there is vegans who survive out of pasta and soda (which contributes for osteoporosis) and those who eat a superb healthy varied diet; plus vegans who do not exercise (which contributes for osteoporosis) and those who do ETC.

_c3ag··on Study links omega-3s to improved brain structure, cognition at midlife
if you really take care of your health, independent of eating meat or not, being vegan is about supplementing b12 and that is all, for the most cases. animals on livestock are supplemented with nutrients (specially grain fed) just like you could supplement yourself

now about calcium intake, if you really take a look, most of the claims are hypothetical and require further studies to comprove, as well some findings like this; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19350341/

_c3ag··on Study links omega-3s to improved brain structure, cognition at midlife
first of all, creatine is a non-essential amino acid; which our bodies can synthesis accordingly our needs
_c3ag··on Study links omega-3s to improved brain structure, cognition at midlife
not that insects do not deserve respect, as even if tiny, their brain structures are pretty complex but ha-ha-ha!

organic usually do not have any regulation and they use pesticides and herbicides and fungicide etc. plus the vast majority of organic farms underpaid labour that is a whole new treat to discuss! [0] not even their efficiency on large scale to feed a 7 billion human population

[0] i volunteered for about a year in programs like WWOOF

edit: and ah, huge farms are using fertilizers from rocks for the vast majority of the time, it would be a big treat to spread manure over thousands of hectares/acres and not even considering the secondary treat of having to shake it from time to time so it can be good absorbed in soil… and regarding organic farms using manure etc. please, i prefer you eating meat than supporting organic farmers overexploiting poor people thinking they have sacred asses that are helping the planet that is heating less than ~1 degree Celsius each 10 years with humans at full rage in industry :]

2ndEdit: not that i am happy or not caring about global warming; i am fine being vegan for years now and my options of cycling and using the public transport, not having children etc. but it is just about a short time (i hope) to politics roll laws about sustainability and the stuff can be more green again. as hoping on citizens being is just suicide. people are too static on their conformity of modern life, you know… what a disgrace changing excessive meat intake for some beans and 4 seat cars for some cycling and unpleasant fun on trains or buses

_c3ag··on Study links omega-3s to improved brain structure, cognition at midlife
meat can be a good source of omega-3, but the animal should be fed from pasture strictly, as their unequal ratio of o3/6 comes from their food, which is mainly corn and soybeans, which are very high in o6 and not o3… you can identify grass feed meat by looking at a yellow colour spectrum in their fat… but again, vegetables are way more healthier, cheaper and _rants-in-vegan_
_c3ag··on Study links omega-3s to improved brain structure, cognition at midlife
yeah… so just eat more! less than 4 spoons should be enough.

and having only ALA and not EPA/DHA as source of omega-3 will slowly lead to your body be more efficient at transforming (ALA to EPA/DHA)

https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/100/suppl_1/449S/45766...

and there is plenty of educative websites searching for “vegan” and omega-3 sources…

edit: ops my bad! thought i could reach one of the studies that conclude this by Googling but nope, i linked the wrong one :D here is your dose of research, https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/92/5/1040/4597496

and please _c3ag, adopt any poor children at early age and let them eat books and consume any type of scientific podcast and feel how they build up!
_c3ag··on Study links omega-3s to improved brain structure, cognition at midlife
it hurts to read, but how about the ethical if you care… AND the poor-human way? flaxseeds and chia are cheap for what they provide! and dirt cheap if you have time & possibility to buy directly from a farmer
_c3ag··on Don’t teach kids to fear the world
there this is song, from Unknown Mortal Orchestra, called Hunnybee; which the composer wrote for his daughter...

btw, i wished my parents were a bit harsh when i was at my early 20s working as a bicycle courier to get money for a bicycle touring trip around South America... maybe if they told me i could got involved in an accident and get f#$%&! or dead i would have this insight 3 years sooner than by my own

_c3ag··on Orcas are breaking rudders off boats in Europe
UNNECESSARY? people, including me, went to this type of shit show and had fun. whales drowning humans is a slap on our history

edit: and one reaaaaly primitive, you know, mammals only worth when on the sapiens sapiens ballpark

_c3ag··on Orcas are breaking rudders off boats in Europe
i bet these teenagers attacking boats were hurt by a sail once… or some of them were and taught others (orca attack in Portugal region are not a phenomena exclusively to the article publication year) . orcas have different behavior patterns on different groups roaming the ocean
_c3ag··on Creativity requires solitude
i think it does! but the more background on you have, the easier to happen…
_c3ag··on Put down devices, let your mind wander, study suggests
hahaha!

that was so cute

edit: ops i forgot there is a thumbs up button… so how about vehicles having a simple lock checking if driver phone is being used? that would save so much accidents

_c3ag··on Embedding an EXE inside a .REG file with automatic execution
why not executing the .exe and it doing it for you?
_c3ag··on Ask HN: I'm burnt out: frustrated, distracted, pessimistic. How do I fix this?
i agree but i would try focusing on your breath while working or doing something else, not idled
_c3ag··on Lessons I wish I had been taught (1996)
mine was, rising in 96, is that self taught stuff takes a while to understand, even if you do not understand
_c3ag··on James Webb first images – complete set of high resolution shots now live
is not lovely it reached internet just after 80% of the planet being able to see the sun?
_c3ag··on Thoughts on the potato diet
i will agree with the person above/below about exercising while fasting; it feels like a light pleasure and it is healthy!

now regarding about high carb intake, people go overboard on their minds when thinking about diet based on blogs and news websites... eating fruits and vegetables all day is completely different than eating refined flour stuff and regarding getting into a fast (ketogenesis) state, you can get into, easily by eating a low-PROTEIN diet too (but this one i do not remember the keywords of the papers i read but if you are interested in nutrition, worth taking a look)

here is a sample of human population which have the lowest index of mental disease, diet consisted of 64% carbs, 21% protein, and 15% fat | https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/108/6/1183/5153293
