lukwoz··on Creating a Garmin "MCP"
At the moment I'm a happy user of Tredict (https://www.tredict.com/app/). It sits between Garmin Connect and my ChatGPT (they have a ChatGPT connector). Works just great for the training data - in seconds after finishing my training, it's also visible to my ChatGPT, with all the details like intervals, heart rate etc. It's a paid tool, but they offer a 2-month free trial so it's easy to validate for a given use case (and get dependent on it too. :) ).

No, I'm not affiliated with Tredict :) (but if you guys are reading it, good job)

"Never attribute to malice what you can attribute to stupidity. And never attribute to stupidity what you can attribute to time pressure. -- Fab's Razor".

Surfacing this gem of a razor here, as it's buried deep in the (fantastic) blog post. Indeed, all too often, what we attribute simply to stupidity/ignorance, as per the classic Hanlon's razor, is actually downstream of market/client/management/deadline etc. pressure.

lukwoz··on A Sick People
not true for Paris or Prague :) but I guess they don't "survive" off of tourism, more people will come anyway.
lukwoz··on The Melancholy of Slaying Monsters
Came here to mention the same thing. It's one of the pillars of the whole Witcher saga, but most clearly it's visible in Sapkowski's short stories - The Lesser Evil, A Grain of Truth, A Question of Price, The Witcher, to name just a few.

"Drive Your Plow (...)" is just amazing. Also make sure you watch the movie based on the book ("Pokot" in Polish).

I don't think there's any such sentiment in Poland; in fact, this research points to (slightly) positive sentiment of the Polish towards the Chinese: https://www.cbos.pl/SPISKOM.POL/2026/K_016_26.PDF
