It's not clear from their site whether the Inreda product also has CGM built into it, or if it must be paired with one?

Glucose-responsive insulin also seems like science fiction as this point, but would be extremely powerful tool.

I'm very familiar with one of the most popular, closed-loop system combinations in the USA and I definitely don't feel the hypoglycemia problem is anywhere near "solved". There is too much volatility dictating a person's insulin sensitivity that even today's smartest systems will regularly give too much insulin, requiring treatment, or too little, resulting in prolonged hyperglycemia.

I agree that time-in-range is incredible today with the technology, comparatively, but there's still lots and lots of room for improvement.
The lack of RTTI in TypeScript _is_ definitely a pain but the jump to "must use decorators" and "TypeScript is not a server language" is unjustified. There are many approaches to validation and RTTI with TS. For example, you can generate JSONSchema from your TS types (see https://github.com/danvk/crosswalk for an example of this approach) or you can use a tool like Zod (https://zod.dev/) to declare your schemas as runtime values and derive TS types from those.

Writing your backend in Java or C# comes with its own issues, i.e. you can't share code between backend and frontend.
> 2. This reminds me why I no longer use linux on the desktop

Lest anyone read this and nodded along: This was a defect in the LG monitor the OP worked around, not anything to do with Linux.
No, “environmentalists” hate carbon taxes because it would force them to pay their fair share. An easy way to spot a fake environmentalist is to ask if they intend on taxing proportionally to environmental damage or income, and if those tax dollars will be spent on the environment or government services.
"Decoupling" mostly involves increasing investment in South and Southeast Asia to set up alternatives to Chinese suppliers. America is hardly going to take back much of the low-skill, low-wage, long-hours manufacturing of cheap consumer products that was offshored decades ago.
Probably because due to the nature of the issue even actual unbiased source will likely be perceived as biased. The issue is contentious enough for strong tribes to form on both sides - linking to any source in that situation means taking a risk of making either of them, or often both, hostile to you.

Moreover, if it's about the situation mentioned earlier this year on HN, it's problematic because of its complexity and gravity. Even with just facts and only facts, the change of the narrative (ie. the order you present the facts in) is enough for the same reasonable person to come to opposite conclusions. And that's before accounting for rhetorical devices that aim to manipulate the reader while still not crossing the line and sticking to facts - happily employed by both sides of the discussion in staggering quantities. (Then, of course, there's the other 90% of sources full of lies and fabrications, but let's leave those alone on HN at least...)

In short - it's not worth the hassle unless you're invested in the matter enough to care a lot, and once you are, odds are you won't post an unbiased source anyway. You'll need to do your own research, wade through a metric crapton of some of the worst humanity has to offer, and form your own opinion based on that. I don't think there's a shortcut here.
Knightian Uncertainity
Mazda CX-5 looks to be smaller than Model Y, so more fair comparison would be to CX-60 which seems to be similar size, where the difference between these two is under 20 kg according to carsized. See:

> If you pump all the CO2 produced in the gas field you extracted the methane from, it's a one to one replacement.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your phrasing, but the vast majority of the CO2 released from natural gas comes from its combustion in its end use case, not incidental CO2 released during extraction from a particular field.

> Obviously, right now it does not work because why would it? There is no incentive. But if we put a tax on carbon emissions, then I don't see why carbon sequestration could not be a scalable solution.

Right now most CO2 removal and sequestration requires large amounts of zero carbon electricity.

That electricity is quite expensive on the wholesale markets at the moment, due in no small part to the high marginal cost of fossil fuels, which set the wholesale price of electricity.

A carbon tax would certainly help the economics of carbon capture, but until wholesale electricity prices consistently are far lower and DAC technology lowers in cost, it won't be viable on its own.

The Kern project is doing at least one thing right by using their own utility scale solar farm. I'd guess this is to insulate themselves from dependency on volatile electricity prices.
That's beautiful. I'm impressed we can compute related components on a world map so fast. The interconnections everywhere are beautiful. If this data is reliable, you can go from west europe to east china with just 3 changes (largely helped by canals)

It makes me want to make a remotely (4G) controllable solar-powered tiny boat, and see how far I can drive it, though this map lacks the unreachable discontinuities (dam)
Javascript is probably more popular than Python overall due to its dominance on web frontend and backend. Python is used more for data/ML stuff or general programming that doesn't fall into the web bucket, though it's fine for web backends too. Ruby's only killer app was eclipsed by NodeJS, and idk what else it was great for.
Public service announcement: the Texas government very much does care what sex toys you buy.

Legislation like this is not an abstraction confined to museums and history books. It's what the party of "Small Government" actively works to implement, day in and day out. It can happen here, along with much, much worse.
Yes but the materials to handle higher loads are more expensive hence this proposal
The seats in the PHEV are nicer than the folding seats in the gas model and the pop out pretty easily. We have the passenger one out full time, easier to get to the kids in the back and allows for more storage when travelling.
Or even wood. Apparently raw chicken is covered in bacteria, but when testing hours later cutting boards used with raw chicken show no signs of bacteria. So much so the FDA reversed their decision to force commercial food preparations on plastic cutting boards. Turns out the plastic cutting boards absorb bacteria from meat into the cuts the knives use, then they float out when the next piece of meat is cut.
I'm getting a cert error, anyone else?
I'm not sure about this, there are still many wagons out there. They don't have those classic wood panels and tacky colors, and the backwards facing rear seats are gone, but aren't these Outbacks and similarly shaped vehicles wagons?

Regarding car seats, they are just THAT much bigger these days. My family had 3 car seats in a rabbit, in the early 80s.
>Actually, the start of the function isn't that bad, but scroll down halfway and you'll find this: [...] Oh no, there's no way I'm going to be able to figure out all this byte manipulation in my head.

I know the author says later that they don't do C development, but note that most of this code is just reading two consecutive bytes as a 16-bit integer, except for x[9] and x[17] where the high bit has a special meaning.
Designing your own social media recommendation engine using LLMs
We built an AI agent that lets you design your own social media recommendation algorithm:

https://lnkd.in/gk76WGCr

Social media platforms collect your data and train recommendation algorithms designed to keep you engaged for as long as possible. Here's the catch:

- Your feed may become increasingly addictive without being more informative.
- These platforms collect data about your interests and behaviours, which they might sell to third-party companies.

Last week, Axel Peytavin and I built Sentinel, a browser extension that lets you fine-tune your recommendation algorithms locally, using natural language.

Sentinel simply asks you what you want to see and then uses AI to align your feed to your preferences accordingly:

- You get to choose what your feed looks like
- Your engagement data becomes potentially more private as companies can’t see your final feed
- You won’t be distracted by irrelevant posts and will have quick & informative social media browsing sessions

This is an open-source project. If you find it interesting, give it a star on GitHub and share it with your friends!

The Masterpiece ruling was a 7-2 decision. We can get into if/buts etc.... but the way I see it, common carrier status is a congressional law, not a constitutional one.
That and forcing people to build destination chargers when building parking spaces is a good way to break the chicken and egg problem of EVs
The Overton window has been shifted. Before such arguments wouldn't have been entertained, now they are. For some, the banning of cars was probably the goal from the start.
Asks her good sonny boy for help
Haml is not homoiconic. It's like saying "the flask is basically a teapot". Sure, they both can serve similar purposes, but categorically they are very different things. They look different, they are usually made of different materials, and they are used very differently. So, no, it's not "Basically Haml"
if heavier electric semis are busting up the roads more and requiring increased subsidy from the public, this externality needs to be priced in so that we can properly determine whether rail/etc is more efficient
To be fair/transparent, I hadn't heard about it either until my 16 year old pointed it out a couple of months ago, LOL.

And once you cash out, you'll have to pay taxes on the profit you make. A land value tax would make live harder for the people living in their homes, as their CoL increased without them having any new income, while landlords would just increase rent accordingly (and could easily do so, as everyone would increase rent).
At at end of that sentence there is a "//todo".
.. and in this case, you would not need blockchain, just timestamping server (for example RFC 3161 compliant one)

Probably want multiple servers from multiple countries, to ensure both redundancy and trust. After all, the requests are cheap and small enough.

Can you elaborate on the granularity? Why is that important?
On some monitors (more typically the older ones), the EDID is just stored in an I2C EEPROM. So it may be possible to just re-program it. I don't know what they do on newer monitors, it could just be something listening to the I2C in the HDMI connector and pretending to be an EEPROM.

Are the bosses different from the senior ICs? (I assume they are).

So then "career acceleration" basically means political influence because the managers recognize your face, not upskilling from exposure to senior ICs (because they are all remote), right?
I think there is something to be said about how we take "free 2-day shipping" for granted these days. Transporting something across the country should cost money compared to buying something already local to you, or even better made or grown near you.

I haven't done the math myself, but I suspect we are all subsidizing interstate trucking (and perhaps air freight) compared to its actual infrastructure and emissions costs. This does lower prices of many essential goods, but also tilts things in favor of large corporations who can ship things cheaply all over the country (ie Walmart, Amazon).
Bare words are fine until you have a variable with the same name as your bare word, so you need additional syntax to determine if you're referencing a variable, or it is just text.
There is not enough information on that link to have a position.

My comment is more about the price of goods transportation causing price increases than whatever that link is about. I have never heard about that program. So if I wrote get ready to pay $30 for the price of eggs instead of $12 would I get someone discussing the Egg Price Displacement Program?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significance_arithmetic

> Significance arithmetic is a set of rules (sometimes called significant figure rules) for approximating the propagation of uncertainty in scientific or statistical calculations. These rules can be used to find the appropriate number of significant figures to use to represent the result of a calculation. If a calculation is done without analysis of the uncertainty involved, a result that is written with too many significant figures can be taken to imply a higher precision than is known, and a result that is written with too few significant figures results in an avoidable loss of precision. Understanding these rules requires a good understanding of the concept of significant and insignificant figures.
I lived to adulthood before cellphones were common.

My phone is a nice-to-have. Its primary use is navigation and photography.

Why on earth would you subject yourself and everyone you know to arbitrary "agency" like that?
We'd need to know acquisition costs and lifetime value (difficult to project with such a new product and with Google and Facebook coming up with potential competitors that might cause users to churn). The idea of looking at quarterly P&L and determining if a business is legit or not doesn't really make sense. Are they profitably buying growth (if acquisition costs are lower than LTV, you're buying future profits that don't show up on that quarterly statement) or just burning money? We'd also want to understand if there's any value to subsidizing things. Perhaps they're able to fine tune and improve based on what users are doing and that's helping them build a moat - or maybe there's no value there.
Why do you assume it's complicated? It's not hard, it's actually very straight forward. The hard part is generating the executable code in the first place (if you're not reading it out of an executable file).

I'm not really sure what you're looking for or expecting unless you want the OS to compile your code for you (which this OS doesn't do either).
I've read through the post and this reads more of a memory lane of Google, rather than getting into the statement "Now, for the first time, its cultural relevance is in question."

There are a few links scattered about on relatively minor topics , but nothing substantial showing that it's in question. Either that's clickbait, which I'm now starting to associate with the verge, or it's far too early days to tell.

Like other comments here my impression is not the same as the post. And the slivers of reasoning given are weak at best.
Though what didn't suck in the 80s/90s from a computer user experience perspective?

Terminals connected to minicomputers--which is what I used at work through most of that period? DOS-based word processing and spreadsheets were pretty nice by comparson.

Macs? They were fine in the mid-80s although I didn't use them in school unless my group was using them for some project.

Unix workstations were getting pretty nice by the mid-90s but those weren't something for a home user.
It depends on what you're doing but the ones in green to the top right are independents but IVACY recently have suffered an issue. If you have issues with the corporate owners you can avoid them by seeing who the parent is and who they own.

Yep, the 18-wheelers bringing up to 12000 gallons of fuel to stations is a fuckton of power of four road wear.

80mn MRR extrapolated out somehow becomes over a billion in Revenue
I'm pro-EV and happily daily-drive one, but I think it's fair to conclude that the need for 1-hour to 8-hour+ charging means that the "space needed for parking while energy is being dispensed" is higher fleet-wide for EVs than for ICE vehicles.

We don't think of nor call it "parking" at the gas pump, but we do at a charging station. There's a reason that's the case.

Many people will have a dedicated charging space at home (taking up only epsilon extra space for the charger), but all the Tesla super-charger, Chargepoints, EVGo, ElectrifyAmerica, etc en route chargers will require more parking space per EV than the equivalent petrol station per ICE.
Real Estate Investors Pull Back, Buying 45% Fewer Homes Than a Year Ago
My daughter is on https://camdiab.com/ it really works a charm, we do have alarms for low glucose (like it can dip down to 3.1 if she does exercise) and rarely for high glucose, but these are things you would probably not even see without the constant monitoring. The data shows that she is extremely well managed since she started with the closed loop system.

Camaps demands that you have a particular model of phone (about a dozen androids and iphones) which makes it a bit more expensive I guess. Luckily we are on the NHS in the uk so my only expense as a parent is that I have to buy the posh phone, but then I guess that goes with having a teenager around anyway...

"Wagons" are Chrysler Voyager, Renault Scenic, Citroën Picasso, Volkswagen Golf Plus, Toyota Prius+ and those have almost entirely disappeared (Golf Plus and Prius Plus aren't made anymore; Picasso will disappear this year, etc).

BMW series 5, Audi A6 etc are sedans. These are strongly declining too; SUVs make more about 40% of sales of new vehicles in Europe.
Complex teleological hierarchies of followers of many types of worlds have been around since the Gnostics before Christ.

If it is elite warriors, or philosopher-magicians or kings or emperors or gurus, many earlier faiths and ideologies have supposed a superior plane of existence for their "type" of believer.

We do (in reality) have nations, classes, cultures and maybe one could say secret societies that live blessed lives by some design. Some "animals" are more equal than others. Still, I would venture luck has a far bigger role in their favored status in this material plane.

By this reasoning ... extreme actions (without a genuine benefit in a 2 or fewer generations) ... are usually done by cults.
Companies that IPO'd in the first year
I was researching Xero for an article and saw that it IPO'd within year 1.
It's very unusual. Usually, it takes 8-10 years to go public and up to 9 months to prepare for IPO.
I've decided to research if there any other examples like that and found a few:

1/ Xero: accounting soft
• Founded: 2006
• IPO: 2007
It IPO'ed soon because it needed $15M for growth, but there wasn't any VC ecosystem in New Zealand yet.
Today's revenue: $880M

2/ Lotus Software. Famous for Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet application.
• Founded: 1982
• IPO: 1983
It did $50M in sales in its first year, and IPO'd to fund its growth. In 1995, IBM acquired it for $3.5B

3/ Axovant: Biotech
• Founded by Vivek Ramaswamy in 2014
• IPO: 2015
The company bought an old Alzheimer's drug from GSK for $5M. They raised $350M in the IPO, assuring the drug is a life-saver.
But the drug failed, so the stock crashed by 99%.

4/ Netscape: browser
• Founded: 1994
• IPO: 1995
It took Netscape 10 months after their product launch (16 months from founding) to IPO. In 1998, AOL acquired it for $4.2B
Some say, Jim Clark, the co-founder, IPO'd soon because he wanted to build a big yacht. It's gorgeous, btw.

5/ Vici Properties: Real estate investment firm
• Founded: 2017
• IPO: 2018
They own & operate 124M sq ft. properties, including casinos, restaurants, bars, and more.
Today's revenue: $3.3B

6/ MGM Growth Properties: Real Estate Investment firm
• Founded: 2015
• IPO: 2016
It had a whole or majority ownership of 15 properties. In 2022, Vici Properties acquired it for $17.2 B

7/ Intrepid Potash: chemical manufacturing
• Founded: 2007
• IPO: 2008
They luckily raised $960M just before the 2008 global financial stock crash.
Market Cap: $340M (overall, the stock is down by 95%)

8/ Chimera Investment: Real estate investment firm
• Founded: June 2007
• IPO: November 2007
They raised $499.5M and today's revenue is only $92M,
Overall, the stock is down by 92%.
So the limiting factor is the subcutane delivery, i.e. if the insulin could be delivered into the blood stream, then continuous glucose monitoring and controlled precise insulin doses could work as well as the pancreas?
I still remember some dork on Twitter claiming that a source within the company told him that they had already trained GPT-5. Mind you, this was back in April I think. Kind of reluctant at this point to believe anyone who spreads rumors about the inner machinations of OpenAI.
It seems like a new golden age of piracy is on the horizon. How else will consumers respond?

It was so nice to stream back in the early days of Netflix streaming- so much easier than pirating. And, there was a huge library to choose from. Eventually licensing and content owners got involved and broke it up into a bunch of streaming services. But, still not a huge inconvenience if you have 2 or 3 services there is still access to a ton of content and people have largely moved on from piracy. But if the content is literally not available? How does that not make people reacquaint themselves with piracy options? Once piracy becomes normalized again, why continue paying for those 2-3 streaming service that don’t have what you are looking for anyways? It seems really short sighted and driven by bean-counters. Maybe no one believes a VPN and piracy is simple enough for the average streamer to undertake?
It would be nice to figure out why Windows and MacOS evidently didn't have the problem. If there's some additional probing that they're doing to catch the monitor out on its lies, Linux could do that too.
1-2 week sprints always seemed like a great way to accumulate tech debt as people rush to complete their stories. Doing good work can take time.
My team does soft-agile. Month long sprints and minimal meetings. We treat it less like a rigid structure everyone must conform to and more of a way to organize backlog and delegate. It has worked very well for us, however we are a small and fairly siloed team and our stakeholders are highly technical people who consume our services internally. we get the leeway to self govern properly.
