However, the effect of vitamin and mineral supplements on the risk of non-communicable diseases in “generally healthy” populations is controversial. We examine patterns of supplement use and the evidence on their effects from randomised trials.

to date, randomised trials have largely shown no benefit of vitamin, mineral, and fish oil supplements on the risk of major non-communicable diseases in people without clinical nutritional deficiency. These results contrast with findings from observational studies, where supplemental nutrient intakes are often associated with a reduced risk of these diseases. The apparent associations from observational studies may result from unknown or unmeasured confounding factors such as socioeconomic status and lifestyle factors, including a better overall diet

Their use as general ‘pick-me-ups’ is of unproven value and, in the case of preparations containing vitamin A or D, may actually be harmful if patients take more than the prescribed dose.

As previously stated there is evidence for and against.

In conclusion, multivitamins were found to enhance immediate free recall memory but no other cognitive domains.

Neuhouser et al (14) recently provided an excellent summary of observational and clinical trial data on dietary supplements in relation to cancer. For MVM supplements, case-control studies of cancer at various sites (eg, colon, esophagus, stomach, oropharynx, breast, cervix, bladder, prostate, and skin) suggested that benefits may exceed risks. Corresponding cohort study results, however, were mostly consistent with no association

Conclusion In this large prevention trial of male physicians, daily multivitamin supplementation modestly but significantly reduced the risk of total cancer.

I was highlighting the fact that there's evidence for both answers

I was looking for the brownshirts link!

A lateral flow test or something using a lab?

Must be a lab test as lateral flow is like £2:

I WFH, so my chair gets a lot of use - it's one of the tools I use.

If I was an electrician, or I commuted to work I know I'd be paying for tools, fuel, repairs, train tickets etc

I don't know what your circumstances are, but I find a cheap chair falls apart pretty quick.

Gunner - "Are you sure those aren't our guys!?"

Commander - "Yes, fire!"

I think it depends on whether Karen knew she didn't work very hard, in which case her statement about doing "all the hard work" would be sarcasm.

However, given the other examples in the article I'd say she truly believed she did all the work - and therefore her statement was not sarcasm.

The better office chairs have 10+ year warranties, if you spread out the cost of buying a cheap chair (£150) every 2 years Vs a £1000 one that lasts 10 years its not such a huge difference in price whilst the benefits to your back are worth much more.

I know not everyone can afford this, but it's worth checking for interest free credit from either the manufacturer, store, or even PayPal / klarna (which is what I did).

3 noses, 2 feet, 1 tail; at least that's what I can see.

So I was trying to think how I'd implement it, and I agree if it's simple then it really only needs to set the brightness level once, then remember if the user adjusts it, and reuse that adjustment for every lux reading.

Hence the example I gave:

Take the ambient light level (lux).
Set brightness to 5.
Log that the user has made it 1 level or 10% darker.
Next time it senses the same lux level, set the brightness 1 level lower

Well shucks, I guess Samsung lied to me! I see adaptive brightness was released as part of Android Pie in 2018.

Yeah, I was thinking it could be machine learning in that it takes the average of all your changes over time and the different ambient light levels.

But deffo no need for neural networks.

I totally agree with you.

However there is one smart feature Samsung has that I like. The screen brightness auto adjusts based on the ambient light, but if I change that automatic brightness (I prefer the screen darker) it will remember that and consistently adjust the brightness.

I'm not sure it's really an AI feature..

Take the ambient light level (lux).
Set brightness to 5.
Log that the user has made it 1 level or 10% darker.
Next time it senses the same lux level, set the brightness 1 level lower

I'm guessing some sort of NAS but I'm eager to know the truth

Muskyness aside; it is pretty impressive to watch, almost looks like the footage has been reversed.

Audio is really annoying.

Looks like Sting to me
