- alex7o 1y agoIt's just a mamba (https://github.com/state-spaces/mamba https://github.com/state-spaces/mamba) but with a transformer. Idk where the B comes from.

- bonzini 1y agoAs an Italian who has tried (only) the Israeli Bamba, I can certify that it is pretty addictive.
- kridsdale1 1y agoI imported these to America to feed my infant. Data shows the prevalence of peanut allergies lines up with when AAP guidelines started recommending that babies do NOT eat peanut. Israel never went along with this and thus has the lowest rates of allergies in the world.
- arijun 1y agoI think the difference in allergy rates between UK and Israeli Ashkenazi Jews (10x higher in UK Jews!) [1] is strong evidence for that. Also, they sell Bamba at Trader Joe’s now.

- cycomanic 1y agoLatest research does strongly suggest that introducing small amounts of common allergens (peanuts, shellfish,milk products...) as early as possible does significantly reduce risk for allergies later. Many early childhood organisations already recommend this. Official health recommendations are often slow to catch up (often for good reasons, but introducing peanuts etc. early is already officially recommended in quite a few countries (Australia, NZ, Sweden for example AFAIK). Not all health professionals are always up to date either though.
- itayd 1y agoYou actually don't need to self import these. Usually Safeway (is it only a west coast thing?) always have these stocked in the Kosher section.
- beanjuiceII 1y agoi mean that sounds good to me
- rdtsc 1y agoSo someone can get fired for picking IBM after all! Or get a bonus, depending on the organization...

- _davide_ 1y agoWhen I read the title 'IBM crossed a transformer with an SSM and got ‘Bamba’' I laughed so hard I woke up my kid
- folgoris 1y agoA very funny and friendly way to say "cocaine" among italians. I'm struggling to read it seriously.
