Interesting discussion of "protein culture", the latest health trend that's now deeply embedded in most food products.
I myself found I was going a bit overboard with protein til a few months ago. Was getting about 180 grams per day, which is way more than needed. Now I'm down to about 100g per day.
I find few things more American and capitalist than the health and longevity business. I worked with a guy who's big into longevity and the way he talks about …

Anchored Langevin Algorithms
Standard first-order Langevin algorithms such as the unadjusted Langevin algorithm (ULA) are obtained by discretizing the Langevin diffusion and are widely used for sampling in machine learning because they scale to high dimensions and large datasets. However, they face two key limitations: (i) they require differentiable log-densities, excluding targets with non-differentiable components; and (ii) they generally fail to sample heavy-tailed targets. We propose anchored Langevin dynamics, a unif…

A Two-Stage Kick Scenario for the Peculiar LMXB GX 1+4
The low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) GX 1+4 stands out with its unique properties. Despite being an old system, it hosts a strongly magnetized neutron star (NS), a trait usually linked to younger systems. Its exceptionally long orbital period (1160 days) and low eccentricity (0.101) imply that the NS formed with minimal mass loss and a weak natal kick. These features collectively point towards the NS having formed through the accretion induced collapse (AIC) of a white dwarf (WD). However, GX 1+4's…

I finally got Link Previews in Firefox today. I disabled the ‘AI’ feature and then disabled link previews altogether as I played with it.
But the setting disappeared completely, so I couldn’t turn it on again.
If this happens to you:
about:config − set browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled to true
