- Comment on Why can't people make ai's by making a neuron sim and then scaling it up with a supercomputer to the point where it has a humans number of neurons and then raise it like a human? 2 weeks ago:
I’d love to know more.
I recently read “The brain is a computer is a brain: neuroscience’s internal debate and the social significance of the Computational Metaphor” and found it compelling. It bristled a lot of feathers on Lemmy, but think their critique is valid.
Do you have any review resources? I have a bit of knowledge around biology and biochemistry, but haven’t studied neuroscience.
And no pressure. It’s a lot to ask dor some random person on the internet. Cheers!

And how is this just like that small rebel group in Ecuador.

Healthy and unhealthy are composite binary terms that aren’t useful. Specific, contextualized terms are more useful and allow for people to make better choices for the situation.
Maple syrup has considerable benefits as an alternative to HFCS. First, it’s glycemic index is lower which results in a decrease in blood glucose levels. On top of that, it appears that it promotes insulation secretion.
Maple syrup is particularly rich in abscisic acid. This acid presents a strong defense against diabetes and metabolic syndrome because it promotes the excretion of insulin from pancreatic cells and boosts fat cells’ sensitivity to insulin.
As a whole, in order to reduce ones propensity to diabetes, reduce sugar intake. Then, if further steps are needed and reduction is no longer an option, find appropriate substitutes. From the abstract:
This review presents detailed information about the nutritional, organoleptic, and pharmacological properties of maple syrup. Studies carried out on animal models and a limited number of human models emphasize the potential benefits of maple syrup as a substitute for refined sugars, indicating that it could contribute to improved metabolic health when used in moderation. However, further medical and nutritional health studies based on human health assessments are needed to better understand the mechanisms of action of the various components of maple syrup and its potential therapeutic properties to demonstrate a stronger justification for its consumption relative to refined sugars. In addition, we compare maple syrup and common sweeteners to provide a further critical perspective on the potential nutritional and health benefits of maple syrup.
And the final sentence:
More studies are needed to better understand how much maple syrup could be ingested, as part of a regular diet, to promote these pharmacological properties without triggering obesity or weight-related disorders.

I cook with the black beans one. It’s delicious in Sichuan Dry Fried Green Beans.
Here’s a good video on their whole line. They talk about what’s available in the US of course.

So good! Ty their other sauces as well. I think there’s four or five available in the US. - Comment on Deep Dive: The visual tapestry of Chants of Sennaar 5 months ago:
The visual style and language puzzles definitely were the thing to get me to buy it. Currently on the scientist level with my son. He’s been in charge of exploring and I think he likes the different cultures associated with each level. And he’s been super excited every time we crack a puzzle or complete a language. Been lots of fun and glad they put in some deep thought into it.
