What is with these names haha, Stable Diffusion XL 1.0 and now to Stable Diffusion 3??

That's a good point, the large corporation model vs smaller specialized finetuned models are vying for dominance right now, I'm interested to see which paradigm we end up with.

The speed at which the models are progressing and new optimizations for reducing hardware requirements makes $20/mo per user not too bad. They'll be able to reduce those costs pretty soon in my opinion, and the users will continue to use the service for years to come.

In addition to sitting vs non-sitting periods, I want the study to address the types of activities that people are doing during the sedentary periods. For instance, would sitting and watching TV be as detrimental as sitting and working at a desk?

I guess we gotta wait a few more decades for those results, and maybe they can incorporate a combination of accelerometer data along with screen time.

I found flexbox froggy lacking of some extra details and was able to fill the gap here,

^ This was important for me. I think it may have something to do with the separation of environments from bedroom-office (primed for resting) and an actual workspace (productive space).

Beyond the high price to just purchase a car, Singapore freeways are loaded with tolls which make the price to operate vehicles even higher.

The flip side, the roads/infrastructure/landscaping of Singapore are the best I've ever seen. Modern and pristine, at least we know those funds are being put to good use.

This work was funded by Japan Science and Technology Agency, JPMJTM20Y6, ITO EN, Ltd.

Found in the "Funding" section of the research paper.

Ito En is the largest green tea distributor in Japan

Not saying this is enough to invalidate the work of these scientists, just food for thought.

Thanks will give it a try

Aw shucks, just started using this because my apple podcasts app (ios) kept stalling indefinitely.

anyone know of any other apps that they recommend?

I'm curious to see the results, although as an english-only speaker, it may be hard for me to assess. Interesting write up nonetheless

I agree with this. Exercise seems to be a major protective seal against dementia.

Seems like the study utilized accelerometer data to identify sedentary-ness, so I would assume actively working at a desk would interrupt sedentary periods more so than being seated on a couch. But I agree, there isn't much to be found in terms of defining the foundations of the study.

"Compared with individuals who had not been exposed to sedentary behavior, individuals who were exposed to sedentary behavior had a 30% higher risk of experiencing dementia. Sedentary behavior was associated with several chronic diseases that were also associated with cognitive impairment and risk of dementia. Previous data suggested that prolonged sedentary time could impair glucose and lipid metabolism, which were recognized as the risk factors for cognitive decline and all-cause dementia. In addition, inflammation was also identified as a potential risk factor for dementia."
