Anthropic didn’t want to give the tech to DoD without some sort of limit, and that was the retribution.
My current GCM uses NFC and my phone to connect with my pump. I would like to remove my phone from the loop. Just use the pump to connect to the sensor directly.
I’ll have to try calf raises. I’ve never heard that.
Getting a gcm gave me much better data around the impact of movement.
“A1c is good. Charts are good. No changes.”
“And that’ll be 700 dollars?”
“Yup. See you soon.”
Of course it doesn’t actually cost that much (copay wise at least), but the point stands. I manage my disease super well. I don’t need the middle men.
I’m becoming much more radical on universal healthcare the longer I’m on my own.
If someone can't answer that, it's probably not worth arguing about.
Context: I’m t1 diabetic.
I was recovering from an injury, and I switched from ibuprofen to acetaminophen. But the whole time I was on it, my sensor glucose was reading 50-60 mg/dl higher than my blood glucose. This is really bad on a closed loop system as my pump kept trying to lower my blood sugar, but it was pushing me into hypoglycemia (50 mg/dl).
Turns out this is a common effect, but a relatively new discovery that no one told me about.
If you could run a fleet of $30k Waymo’s, that would be nice
But that hasn't been true for a decade. Most improvements have been marginal, and they totally missed the boat on LLMs.
Really, I think that it comes down to make making or joining a space with a shared activity and moderating out the crap.
The problem is most communities are losing those spaces in favor of private social clubs. That's what we need to fight.
I have a few ideas that I want to write more about, and I'm sure I'll get to them when I have time.
The real goal is to capture more internet friends.
To reverse the trend, I’m trying to read physical books or ebooks on a dedicated ereader as much as possible. No one seems to care, they are on their phones.
When I do use social media, I try to use a computer where I have much more control over what’s happening. So far I’ve read a ton more books this year.
1. This is way to much time in the classroom. Much of that coursework simply isn't necessary.
2. You have people that would be good nurses piking other programs because they can't get passing marks in classes that are irrelevant to day to day nursing.
Binding what are essentially professional programs to the academy is a mistake. Don't get me wrong, I love the academy. But we need nurses.
All these issues were resolved, usually, by parsing the date into a proper Date class.
I asked them why they couldn’t use DATEDIFF since this was in a sql db.
They said they hadn’t heard of it and that it must be new.
I have been hesitant to use Firefox, just because I am used to chrome. But after Google forcibly disabled software that I chose to run, I'm all in on Firefox.
I sometimes forget that manga writers use very real locations as references. I believe this is the backdrop for several Tokyo Ghoul scenes.
I can make more complex drawings in excalidraw than I could on a really drawing surface. I suspect that leads to simpler drawings and thus simpler designs.
Working on an architecture with a peer and marker really led to some elegant class designs.
Once there was a woman in front of me who asked why we take our shoes off and the response was "Once someone put a bomb in there shoes."
1. I don't love remedies to problems that happened once.
2. We had an international pandemic once... by your logic shouldn't we always mask at the airport?
