What are the health benefits of turmeric – Ask ChatGPT

Turmeric is a spice that is commonly used in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine. It has a bright yellow color and a distinctive, slightly bitter flavor. Turmeric has been used in traditional medicine for centuries, and is believed to have many health benefits.

Some of the potential health benefits of turmeric include:

  1. Anti-inflammatory effects: Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin, which has been shown to have potent anti-inflammatory properties. This can help to reduce inflammation in the body and may be beneficial for conditions such as arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and other conditions that involve chronic inflammation.
  2. Antioxidant effects: Turmeric is a rich source of antioxidants, which are molecules that can help to neutralize harmful substances called free radicals. Free radicals can damage cells and contribute to the development of chronic diseases, so consuming foods that are rich in antioxidants can help to protect against these effects.
  3. Heart health: Turmeric may also have benefits for heart health. Some studies have suggested that consuming turmeric can help to reduce levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol, which can help to prevent the development of heart disease.
  4. Cancer prevention: Turmeric may also have potential as a cancer-preventive agent. Some studies have shown that curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, can help to kill cancer cells and prevent the growth of tumors.

Overall, turmeric is a versatile and flavorful spice that may have many potential health benefits. It is a good idea to include it in your diet, along with other healthy foods, in order to take advantage of its potential benefits.

A Doctor recommended Turmeric to me for its anti-inflammatory properties, so there’s corroboration.

Flipping off a Driverless Car

Remember the iconic, tire-squealing chase scene in “Bullitt,” the Steve McQueen movie from the 1960s? Now, imagine the opposite, and you’ll have a sense of how the car cautiously drove up and down San Francisco’s hills, gingerly navigated four-way stops and angled around double-parked cars.

Still, even for someone like me — a reporter who has spent a fair amount of time with this kind of technology over the past few years — riding through a major city in a car without a driver was an eye-opener.

Not to say there weren’t issues. As the car passed the joyriding teenagers a second time, it swerved sharply to the right, presumably because it mistook them for pedestrians. At another intersection, it hit the brakes just as the light changed to red, skidding to a stop in the middle of a crosswalk, its nose sticking out into the intersection. A pedestrian yelled at my robot driver and flipped it off as he walked by. I couldn’t say if that was more or less satisfying than flipping off a human.

Chess Game Trying to Win Gracefully


Took a look into the source code of Apple’s home-made chess program and wasn’t disappointed from ProgrammerHumor

What are they doing? Did they make the ai unable to en pessant?

It’s slowing down response. So basically after you make your move, the computer already has it’s next move figured out in a few miliseonds, but if it actually moves instantly, the user unconsciously thinks it was too fast to be good. So the program delays it for a second, making it look like the computer has to think hard to beat you.

Same principle applies to all kinds of ui design. If your credit card for example gets accepted in a blink you get suspicious even when it’s fine.

Five Open-Source Projects AI Enthusiasts Might Want to Know About

TensorFlow
The Google Brain team created TensorFlow. Its underlying software powers some of the technologies that Google uses today. It translates languages, improves search engine results, recognizes pictures in Google Photos, and understands spoken words, making its machine learning (ML) capabilities genuinely awe-inspiring.

To the surprise of the tech community, Google open-sourced TensorFlow, making it available to everyone. Developers can create ML models, classes for these models, and write imperative forward passes with it, among others. TensorFlow uses Python, C++, and CUDA.

An Algorithm That Grants Freedom, or Takes It Away

Across the United States and Europe, software is making probation decisions and predicting whether teens will commit crime. Opponents want more human oversight.

He didn’t realize that an algorithm had tagged him high risk until he was told about it during an interview with The New York Times.

“What do you mean?” Mr. Gates, 30, asked. “You mean to tell me I’m dealing with all this because of a computer?”

In Philadelphia, an algorithm created by a professor at the University of Pennsylvania has helped dictate the experience of probationers for at least five years.

This kind of reminds me of this book:
A Philosophical Investigation, by Philip Kerr

LONDON, 2013. Serial killings have reached epidemic proportions—even with the widespread government use of DNA detection, brain-imaging, and the “punitive coma.” Beautiful, whip-smart, and driven by demons of her own, Detective Isadora “Jake” Jacowicz must stop a murderer, code-named “Wittgenstein,” who has taken it upon himself to eliminate any man who has tested posi­tive for a tendency towards violent behavior—even if his victim has never committed a crime. He is a killer whose intellectual brilliance is matched only by his homicidal madness.
