The first cancer-related post - https://jakeseliger.com/2024/05/25/the-one-year-anniversary-...

Bess is an ER doctor, but even with all that medical knowledge, navigating cancer care seemed difficult.

So those with no medical knowledge from themselves or family or friends may have a much more difficult time.

If you look up how to calculate the glycemic index of a meal, the formula treats each meal component's glycemic index as a proportion of the total meal's glycemic index.

But the above example shows that the body doesn't treat food in that manner - the relatively low carb, higher fat cheese didn't smooth out the higher proportion carb count of the toast.

In the paper, the largest carbs for the ultraprocessed meal was instant mashed potatoes, while the non-processed meal had bananas as the largest carb source followed by craisins/cranberries.

The high carb foods in the unprocessed meal are paired with fiber.

The high carb foods in the ultraprocessed meal are NOT paired with fiber.

The fiber slows the rate of carb intake.

Same thing occurs with protein - same amount of ground beef and steak, ground beef meal will result in faster amino acid ingestion than the steak meal. No idea if there are any pros/cons of the faster ground beef ingestion, but there is a difference in how the digestive system processes the two meals.


The ASUS RTX Spark desktop box has a 240W power supply while Microsoft supplies a 165W power supply with their dev box (under "What's in the box").

see https://www.asus.com/displays-desktops/mini-pcs/proart-mini-...

Asus also lists support for 4 displays and multiple SSD slots while Microsoft supports 3 displays for their dev box.


RTX Spark laptops / desktops use the RTX Spark N1X SoC, which is targeted at mobile platforms.

see https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/rtx-spark-n1x-6144-cor...

But many of the specs on that page are estimates, but given this is a mobile-specific SoC, you can assume that the perf-envelope is lower than the DGX Spark SoC.

For US$100 less, you can get the 128GB Surface Laptop Ultra, but with a 1TB SSD, 15-inch toushscreen+webcam and keyboard instead of 2TB SSD+DIY screen and keyboard.

Not sure about the Ethernet port though. Maybe they expect the user to use a USB port for wired networking?

see https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/configure/surface-lapt...


Under Key Tech Specs, in the Networking section, all it mentions is WiFi 7. No Ethernet???

Looks like Ethernet to me? https://cdn-dynmedia-1.microsoft.com/is/image/microsoftcorp/...

Not sure what the speeds are, but a CAT6 port seems to be present.


Yeah, the dark pics don't help one figure out what's available.

The pics for the Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra are pretty dark, especially around the ports, as well. I don't see an Ethernet RJ45 port nor is any listed under Key Tech Specs for the Laptop Ultra.

The engadget article just mentions "Ethernet port" for the RTX Spark Dev Box - no speed rating. see https://www.engadget.com/2280520/microsofts-surface-rtx-spar...

The DGX Spark has 10G Ethernet, so you'd hope for about $1K less, you'd still get 10G.


The physical design is weird. Why not go for a slab-like pizza box design? Instead you have a podium - small rectangular base below a wider rectangle on top.

The top looks like a crumb/dust magnet.

from the main RTX Spark Dev Box page,

  "Surface RTX Spark Dev Box features an anodized aluminum body with 1,000 air vents built into its grid chassis—a nod to its 1,000 teraflops of compute performance."
The "Close Look" popup mentions that it's 3D printed aluminum case.

Why is the headphone jack on the back???

I think there are two buttons on the top rear left of the box - I'd hope power and reset buttons.


website is actively setting the cursor CSS style to none.

Very user-hostile.


It replaces the cursor with a custom one. It's not removing the default to just remove it.

on my system it removed the cursor.

If your body requires more creatine than your diet currently provides, then supplementing with creatine would help, even without exercising.

from https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42578920/ (CrM is creatine monohydrate)

  Results: CrM supplementation without exercise training and diet intervention increased lean tissue mass, strength, and muscular endurance while promoting favorable changes in selected blood lipids, HbA1c, and selected markers of cognitive function and memory. Creatine supplementation during an exercise and weight-loss diet intervention increased lean tissue mass, promoted a greater reduction in body fat percentage, and improved muscular strength, endurance, and selected markers of cognitive function and memory. Supplementation was well-tolerated.

  Conclusion: CrM supplementation with and without exercise and diet intervention may help middle-aged and older adults maintain muscle mass and strength while favourably affecting selected markers of health and cognitive function. Individual cognitive and biomarker findings should be interpreted as exploratory.


Perhaps this is the exploit chain (they mention libheif at the start of their exploit chain)
