Taking antibiotics after every random bite is overkill. Antibiotics overuse is a serious issue for your body and for the general antibiotics resistance as well.
When the tick is attached less than 24 hours it won't transmit Lyme disease according to the CDC. I check myself every evening after outdoor activities, remove 10-20 ticks every year and knock-knock never had Lyme disease yet.
I wasn't aware of the permethrin effectiveness though. Thanks for letting us know.
I think that is just what happens if you live in tick-dense areas and do a lot if outdoor activities. I take every precaution, and remove approximatively the same number of ticks per season. Some places are just like that. Once, I rested with my right hand against the ground, just a couple of seconds, and upon lifting it up I noticed around 30 ticks crawling on it.
Why would you not believe it? It's normal where I live too. I definitely get dozens of bites every year and have been formally diagnosed with and treated for Lyme twice because it's pretty easy to miss one. Tick bites are very often completely painless and they often choose very discreet locations for their meal.
Keep in mind tick season is March to June and September to December (although it started in February this year because of unusual weather). That's a lot of days with "1-2 ticks" and it adds up.
I’ve never had a tick bite I could miss. They form a blister and itch like crazy for a couple of days. I wonder if the inflammatory response goes away if you get bitten too often. I know it happens with mosquitos if you get bitten too often.
I get a strong reaction after I remove the tick (like a little necrotic volcano that itches like mad and takes about 18 months for the blemish to disappear completely). While the tick is there, I usually feel only nothing and find them by inspection. Tick checks are your best defence.
If you take precautions, you might get bitten once a season. Taking antibiotics once or twice a year isn’t all that insane.
Why not just use permethrin or anti tick clothing if you’re regularly pulling off 10-20 ticks. It’s disgusting and you can get some other serious diseases besides Lyme like Rocky mountain fever, alpha gal or encephalitis that are harder to treat or have no cures.
I’ve always heard the 24-36 hour thing is a statistical probability figure. You most probably won’t but you could get it as soon as the tick attaches as well. Also if you squeeze the body of an engorged tick as you’re pulling it out, you force all the contents of its stomach (where the Lyme bacteria lives), into your bloodstream. Always use tweezers and go for the head.
I can highly recommend the author. His last book "Computer Vision: Models, Learning, and Inference" is very readable, approaches the matter from unorthodox viewpoints + includes lot of excellent figures supporting the text. I'm buying this on paper!
The code is mostly licensed under the permissive Apache 2.0 license. The project is probably financed by SenseTime, but it's not clearly stated anywhere.
You could use the front TrueDepth sensor that is behind FaceID unlocking. You will get quite detailed RGB + depth data. It could possibly capture even the subtle movements of upper chest.
see Steffen Urban, Thomas Lindemeier, David Dobbelstein, Matthias Haenel, "On the Issues of TrueDepth Sensor Data for Computer Vision Tasks Across Different iPad Generations" and Andreas Breitbarth, Timothy Schardt, Cosima Kind, Julia Brinkmann, Paul-Gerald Dittrich, Gunther Notni, "Measurement accuracy and dependence on external influences of the iPhone X TrueDepth sensor".
I'm pretty happy with the scanning feature of Evernote, and I think there are some other nice apps in the Android app store, but my goal is to have a solution that is not captive (either to a specific vendor or to a SaaS solution).
AI and ML: Simon J.D. Prince; Computer Vision: Models, Learning, and Inference. Thorough book with unorthodox explanations and great figures. The book is very pleasant to read. I'm eagerly awaiting new book on Deep Learning from the same author.
I've tried BentoML recently and it worked for me far better than torchserve workflows. There are some early version flaws (documentation, changing API), but the community is very responsive on Github and on BentoML Slack.
btw: BentoML stands on its own legs and definitely doesn't need HN spam accounts to propagate it.
I would say that this applies to most of the companies with hundreds of millions of users. The account flagging needs to be automated and there is still some fraction of false positives. The appeal process is not easy because the false positive users are intermixed with bad actors. The human time dealing with the appeals is limited due to the sheer numbers of users.
For me the solution is to use a paid service or a free service at smaller business where employee/user ratio is better.
