Sleep study technology is getting better and cheaper

Oxidative stress during sleep, some make a compelling case, bad breathing during sleep is what causes a good number of diseases. If we can detect it cheaply, hopefully lives can be saved. The folks at Dreem2 are doing some incredible work.

Beta breath tracking.

Another option is snorelab

AF_XDP and the linux kernel, this is gonna be big

I've been talking about kernel bypass for a long time. Now, it's being distributed with the linux kernel. It's now possible to intercept packets before they hit the kernel. Xilinx is now taking advantage of the feature. Amazing times!

Covid happens

Coronavirus, I thought everyone was overreacting, then it happened to my dad. Think of a panicked person yelling/drowning, trying to catch a breath. That's what it looked like on zoom, for days, before finally passing. He was 76.

I can't help but think, these are very early days, and we still have a lot to learn/discover. Our FDA is the gold standard, with respect to quality and testing, second to none on the planet. And with that being said, the FDA says "oops" via recalls thousands of times per year.
