# Resumator & news

## Finally I’ve generated something…

![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1748012275279/e0f83761-17ca-4a88-9557-9d395c977aea.png align="center")

A [resume generator](https://github.com/zakhar-kogan/typst-cv)…

* Will generate <s>for food</s> using [Typst](https://typst.app/) - you can change the template! <s>But change TEMPLATE variable in Makefile, too…</s>
    
* Can be used locally or with GH actions
    
* I’ve got a crappy example of an SSOT-style resume with all the skills I’ve got → *will later be updated*
    

The final ideal flow is:

1. Having an SSOT (Single Source Of Truth) file
    
2. Generating a resume/a sleuth of targeted resumes with anything you deem worthy
    
3. Having it generate automatically
    
4. Optionally setting up Make/n8n/Zapier flows to auto-update (or auto-apply, if you’re a reckless pirate) the CV on your, say, personal website
    

<div data-node-type="callout">
<div data-node-type="callout-emoji">💡</div>
<div data-node-type="callout-text">Sounds good? To my lazy cognition, it does!</div>
</div>

So, next steps are:

* Updating the SSOT
    
* Setting up a flow to auto-update on [Teleogenic](https://teleogenic.com/)…
    

And yours may be:

* Cloning/forking the [repository](https://github.com/zakhar-kogan/typst-cv)
    
* Using local editor (& **nix** or **typst**) or github.dev ([just change .com to .dev](https://docs.github.com/en/codespaces/the-githubdev-web-based-editor)). <s>Yeah, reproducibility requires talking nerdy…</s>

Should work, I promise! <s>And I’ll work on my CVs, fingers crossed, yeah.</s>

## Tfw you’re a [turtle lost in an Uber](https://www.uber.com/newsroom/the-2025-uber-lost-found-index/)

Or a sticky boob bra. Or a witches broom. Or a taxidermied rabbit.

TLDR: Uber continues the tradition of funny data, e.g. items people [fall onto](https://breakbrunch.com/24-weird-things-people-accidentally-gotten-stuck-in-their-ass/), or [require defusing](https://www.businessinsider.com/france-man-had-wwi-shell-lodged-in-rectum-bomb-squad-called-by-hospital-2022-12) with a team of sappers. Or [Pornhub data insights](https://www.pornhub.com/insights/).

TLDR: even if you’re worked as a contractor some 20 years ago, you may still be held accountable for mistreatment. Not everything that happens in Abu Ghraib stays there, <s>daddy</s>

Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, NASA astronauts, had been stranded in space for a bit longer due to a faulty Boeing Starliner return capsule.

> [Wilmore](https://apnews.com/article/nasa-astronauts-faith-orbit-international-space-station-b5d3e3473dff3b92c8dcfc7a7cb48b50) and Williams ended up spending 286 days in space — 278 days longer than anticipated when they launched. They circled Earth 4,576 times and traveled 121 million miles (195 million kilometers) by the time of splashdown.

Just when I thought long commute to work was a deal-breaker…

## Tfw your king [orders you to lose…weight](https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/saudi-man-loses-over-500-kilos-after-former-king-steps-in-to-help-6335384)

* Khalid bin Mohsen Shaari was ordered to lose weight by his King, Abdullah, after reaching 610 kg and being bed-ridden for 3 years
    
* He was transported to King Fahad Medical City in Riyadh and appointed a team of 30 top doctors
    
* In ~10 years, he had lost 542 kgs, and returned to a super-healthy 63.5 kg-smiling guy
    
* He required multiple excess skin removal surgeries, which is totally understandable concerning his weight loss (over 88% of total weight…)
    

## Tfw you’re coffee, and [you’re so precious](https://www.tradingpedia.com/2025/04/24/analysis-reveals-arabica-coffee-prices-soar-by-93-in-the-past-year-robusta-follows-with-55-increase/?ck_subscriber_id=2070519101&utm_source=convertkit&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Synthetic%20dyes%20under%20fire,%20Eion%20and%20Perdue%27s%20insetting%20deal,%20Perfect%20Day%20hit%20with%20lawsuit,%20Almendra%27s%20%27night%20interruption%27%20tech,%20alt%20cocoa%20&%20coffee%20%20%20-%2017390265) 🥹

* Coffee prices start reflecting the 2050 problem, jumping 50-95% per year
    
* Quoting, “America will need to pay **$6.17 billion more in 2025** to import the same amount of coffee as the previous year”. A-and we’re not even counting the tariffs in!
    
* Let’s ponder on this over a cup of nice arabica, looking at a [coffee cultivation land projection](https://dailycoffeenews.com/2015/10/27/new-study-maps-dramatic-projected-decreases-in-suitable-coffee-land/):

So much for coffee - there’s another juicy problem: [orange juice](https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2025/02/american-orange-juice-crash/681566/).

![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1748188683313/847cb5eb-8675-4acb-b5a6-a5396201625b.png align="center")

The [price had been growing](https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU0000713111), growing, growing over two main reasons:

* weather [hadn’t been kind to the world](https://www.just-drinks.com/features/why-have-orange-juice-prices-soared/): e.g. [hurricanes](https://www.agriculturedive.com/news/hurricane-milton-florida-farm-damage-usda/730404), just everything [being HOT](https://x.com/extremetemps), you know
    
* we could include economic reasons <s>(crisis, y’know)</s>, too + [production concentration](https://www.statista.com/statistics/1044896/world-orange-juice-major-producers/) in mainly Brazil

## Tfw you take shrooms for depression but: [Not so fast, cowboy](https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/1j767r0/psilocybins_impact_on_mental_wellbeing_varies_by)

![](https://getty-pst.imgix.net/gtc_pst2024_GP_EP0002.JPG?q=80&auto=format%2Ccompress&w=2048 align="center")

Colonial war’s still here, it seems.

The fun thing - **people of color get less benefits from psilocybin** (2-3 mo post-use):

* ⬇️ Improvements in **spiritual wellbeing**
    
* ⬇️ Improvements in **cognitive flexibility**
    
* ⬇️ Reduction in **expressive suppression** (a measure of emotion regulation)
    
* ⬆️ More likely to set intentions pre-trip, feel a mystic experience or time speeding up
    

P.S. So you’re telling me that Maria Sabina (the woman in photo, one of the [most notorious shroom shamans/curanderos in history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar%C3%ADa_Sabina)) would become less less depressed than an <s>all-white cisgender man</s>?

## Tfw you’re <s>accidentally</s> finding [a plausible cause for Alzheimer’s](https://today.ucsd.edu/story/ai-helps-unravel-a-cause-of-alzheimers-disease-and-identify-a-therapeutic-candidate)

![graphic showing how Alzheimer's severity increases with PHGDH expression](https://today.ucsd.edu/news_uploads/PHGDH-graphic-20250424.jpg align="center")

PS. You’re an AI algo.

So, a team of researchers at UCSD led by Sheng Zhong had pinpointed phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) as:

1. [Potential biomarker](https://today.ucsd.edu/story/discovery-of-new-biomarker-in-blood-could-lead-to-early-test-for-alzheimers-disease) for AD early detection
    
2. [Correlative link](https://today.ucsd.edu/story/study-of-promising-alzheimers-marker-in-blood-prompts-warning-about-brain-boosting-supplements): higher levels of PHGDH and its RNA were found in more advanced AD cases
    
3. [Causal link](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2025.03.045): altering the expression in mouse/human organoids had changed progression speed, i.e. more PHGDH expression → faster AD progression
    
4. [Therapeutic candidate options](https://www.drugdiscoverytrends.com/ai-guided-hunt-points-to-phgdh-as-an-upstream-drug-target-in-alzheimers-disease/): NCT-503 isn’t inhibiting the enzymatic activity (serine production), but is inhibiting its gene regulatory function, which is - **important**:
    

> PHGDH appeared to be influencing the activity of downstream genes (specifically IKKa and HMGB1) involved in pathways that suppress autophagy and accelerate amyloid pathology.
