Going off the schedule
Yeah, I'm that good at content planning
Business
An article about Avra
An elite accelerator for the world’s best startups and founders. Yeah, yeah...
Can you feel that startups are becoming an industry in themselves, with ‘value’ and ‘traction’ being the prime examples of Goodhart’s law - once people start valuing something*,* it’s usually great (wisdom of the crowds), but once everyone is jerking and showing off that same something (when everyone is raving about a stock, sell) - you know it’s slowly going to craps.
CB Insights’ insights. Such wow, much deep tech
Without further atalk:
AI weather prediction, e.g. DeepMind’s NeuralGCM
Ultra-deep drilling
AI agent marketplaces; and hey look at this!
Biocomputing. Turns out it’s not just brain organoids, but a whole (micro)-world of stuff!
Brain manipulation tech
Quantum-optimized portfolios
Cellular & epigenetic reprogramming
GPS-less navigation systems. Middle East, we’re looking at you.
EVs in Norway
Just look at this beauty of a chart:
Health
10k in a pill
Guys from Aarhus University in Denmark (led by Dr Thomas Poulsen) had made a simple yet quite ingenious ‘exercise in a pill’:
A precursor to lactate and beta-hydroxybutyrate which are elevated after exercise
It’s orally available, easy to synthesize (lactate and BHB bonded)
Novo Nordisk (the guys behind Ozempic epidemic) had already funded this research
(2) and (3) lead me to believe it will enter the market quite soon, as Mmimetika Biosciences or under the NNordisk brand..
Diet and ASD
TL;DR:
Ketogenic diet improved GI symptoms. Yet let’s not forget its potential long-term woes
Gluten and Casein Free diet improved behavioral, cognitive, and GI symptoms
Omega-3 supplementation improved Cognitive and behavioral symptoms
Sulforaphane may also be beneficial
So it’s as usual: eat diverse foods, minimize gluten and casein, a sprinkle of polyphenols on top - et voila, you’re awesome!
Coffee and gut
<4 cups → ⬆️Firmicutes ⬇️Bacteroidetes
Fun thing, higher F/B ratio is associated with obesity…
Inulin and migraines
Inulin decreased depression, stress and anxiety scores, as well as migraine clinical score
Didn’t change the QoL (quality of life) score, though…
Akkermansia vs Olanzapine
Among other virtues in weight management, (one being GLP-1 agonism, hehehe), Akkermansia muciniphilia will obviously help some for Olanzapine takers.
Ways to increase AM abundance are as usual:
Polyphenols
Inulin, FOS, GOS
Rhubarb and soy!
Regular exercise
Avoiding saturated fats, sugars, and excessive protein
Resistant/potato starch
Soo, just the usual “lead a healthy lifestyle, be happy and ye shall continue to do so”. If not, wait for the ‘10k in a pill’…
