I'm trying a nostr based pubpeer. Scientific paper commentary would be a fun thing for nostr to do....the development hurdles are higher than I thought they would be.
The benefits of the bacteria in this context are probably grossly overstated...but if it tastes kinda fizzy/sour from the fermentation, I'm all for it.
There was this brand of coconut drink I had ages ago that I got in NYC (I can't remember the name of the place off the top of my head). I could never find it again after I had it once.
No, they were administering beta carotene and looking at conversion rates. They saw an association of those SNPs with a lower conversion rate (not "no conversion"). The SNPs provide a plausible explanation of lower conversion rates (though there are many other plausible explanations).
What this has to do with vitamin A actual deficiency (VAD, which is very very low in developed countries like the UK) isn't clear. There is no indication that those with the SNPs were VAD.
They suggest that people with those common SNPs may benefit by increased pre formed vitamin A intake in countries where VAD is common. They may, they may not. VAD is a very complex problem that is tied to the host of generally poor living conditions in poor countries.
It reads like a chatgpt book report...but to be fair the headline is a lie.
Here is what the report says, it's specifically talking about areas like aerospace:
According to experts, both memory safe and memory unsafe programming languages meet these requirements. At this time, the most widely used languages that meet all three properties are C and C++, which are not memory safe programming languages. Rust, one example of a memory safe programming language, has the three requisite properties above, but has not yet been proven in space systems. Further progress on development toolchains, workforce education, and fielded case studies are needed to demonstrate the viability of memory safe languages in these use cases. In the interim, there are other ways to achieve memory safe outcomes at scale by using secure building blocks. Therefore, to reduce memory safety vulnerabilities in space or other embedded systems that face similar constraints, a complementary approach to implement memory safety through hardware can be explored.
