I added ratgdo to my HomeAssistant and have HomeAssisteant send notifications if the garage door is open (with a button that closes it)

Some, but sarcopenia caused by rapid weight loss is a well known phenomenon. I think the tie to ozempic is a little overblown, but is is a real issue.

In a “traditional” weight loss strategy, you paired calorie deficit with an increase in physical activity (cardio, resistance training, etc). This increased physical activity helped protect you from muscle loss (your body tended to recognize that muscle was important so it burned fat at a higher rate)

With ozempic, people can lose weight without changing their sedentary lifestyle. Since your muscles are not needed, your body is free to grab energy from wherever it can. In some studies, almost half of weight loss can come from lean tissue.

Is it better to for an obese person to lose weight vs not lose weight? Absolutely. But it would be even better if they also changed their lifestyle to protect their muscle mass.

This doesn’t use multicast. Using multicast is essentially impossible unless you are the ISP or you just want to run it on LAN.

I don’t think Netflix has a fast lane anywhere.

Netflix does offer to give servers to ISPs to put in their datacenters. So if your ISP is seeing congestion on the IX links, it is entirely possible that Netflix still works fine (because the traffic doesn’t leave the ISP and is therefore not hitting the congestion). But that is not a “fast lane”

But it is apples fault that they let the alternatives stagnate and refuse (until recently) things like RCS that would make SMS suck less.

It is clear that Apple considers iMessage a significant network effect and is not interested in having feature parity between iOS and non-iOS

I thought that is essentially what LLM's do? They learn what words/topics are associated with each other and then stream a response.

In some ways, this is proof that Gemini isn't cheating... It is just doing typical LLM hallucination

The usual answer is that it gives time for the market to digest what was released before making knee-jerk trades on it.

Most brokerages (even Robinhood) allow you to trade after-hours. But the volume is lower so it can be more volatile.

I think you would see the opposite. You would incentivize going to grad school for a few years under a student visa. Universities could name their price.

Nvidia Shield is Android TV. Netflix doesn't build for the Nvidia Shield in the same way that they don't build for every TV model from every manufacturer. They have an SDK that the manufacturers integrate.

250k is conservative for employee cost. A staff engineer at Google can reach 1 MM total comp. And add in all the overhead a company has (real estate, free food, perks, taxes, etc)

500k-700k is a little more realistic. 1500 employees across all domains (engineering, marketing, product management, customer service, etc) isn’t a huge number

It is consistent when the apps are consistent.

But it will not appear if the app opens the webpage as its own View (instead of opening Safari). In that case, there is no button and the user has to hunt for how to go back. And the user has no way of knowing whether an app will open Safari or will open the webpage itself.

iOS requires users to build muscle memory in learning how to use each app. Android requires users to maintain a back stack in their head to remember what came before. Switching between the two is very jarring.

Typically, it means that if you put the TV in a dark room, it is calibrated to the same specifications that the monitors used in post-production used. Therefore, it is what the directors "intended" the video to look like since they were looking at the monitors (in a dark room).

However, if your room has even a little light in it, the settings would make the TV too dark.

It will also disable any effects the TV has that aren't "map video to screen 1:1" such as motion interpolation, upscaling algorithms, etc

A few reasons I like them: 1. The goal is to come up with a workable solution - not to try to fold your brain inside out to optimize them like leetcode. They feel a little more "real-world" (though still firmly in the domain of programming puzzle) 2. There is a community that all solve them at once. At my company, we have a leaderboard and a Slack channel discussing them every day. And then there is the Reddit and everything else that makes it feel more "fun" 3. They are bound (only 1 problem a day). Some days are longer, but I don't get overwhelmed like I do with leetcode where you can lose hours just churning through problems.

IMO, they are a fun community programming puzzle tradition. I would still turn to leetcode for interview practice. But AoC is awesome for me when I don't want to grind leetcode for some interview I don't want right now.

I don't understand how opening iMessage would sell existing iMessage data to anyone?

Today, if an iPhone user sends a message to an Android user, that message is sent via SMS. If Google wanted, it could already scrape the message. What would change if the protocol was open and the message was sent to the Android device using iMessage?

There is no expectation for Apple to give Google read/write access to the iMessage database (not that it exists, but still). What is the downside of users being able to interoperate and use the protocol?

It is also illegal for them to strike without going through mediation, etc. Pilots are allowed to vote to go on strike at any time (and they can have picket lines as if they were on strike) but they cannot stop showing up for work.

Pilots are one of the few professions that are covered under the Railway Labor Act, so federal mediators have lots of power to reach an agreement between airlines and pilots
