Corporate lawyer with a passion for computers.

Software design and implementation should be a joyous art, a kind of high-level play. If this attitude seems preposterous or vaguely embarrassing to you, stop and think; ask yourself what you've forgotten. Why do you design software instead of doing something else to make money or pass the time? You must have thought software was worthy of your passion once...

To do the Unix philosophy right, you need to recover that attitude. You need to care. You need to play. You need to be willing to explore.

In my experience, the major spending of governments goes out in corruption. It is much like the Parkinson's law. Government will eat any budget they have due to corruption and only provide basic necessities. After moving up the retirement age, that money will surely flow into some rich people's pockets rather than schools/healthcare. This is what the France is revolting about.

T1D here. I use medtronic minimed 780g with guardian 4 sensor. Dexcom is largely believed to be the most accurate sensor in the community. For a long while you could only loop with Dexcom or Guardian sensors.

My endo said 780g's algorithm is better (more agressive and keeps you better in range). 780g also has a device with a screen and alerts.

I was using freestyle libre (1 and 2) before. While I was using libre I used an open source app called juggluco. It worked really good and connects to nightscout.

For a brief while I used sibionics, but the accuracy was really bad.

This is health so you generally need to suck up and install the default app. But that doesnt mean you can't set up a nightscout to backup and share your data (I do). I hope that the data I save will one day help me transition into a better vendor when it becomes available.

Open source endeavors brought looping well before omnipod and minimed did. It is really amazing what the open source community achieved.

For me it is about life and death and I wont be able to sleep if I do not use the FDA approved app and pump (even if it is shitty).

And also the resolution is too low for immersion. The resolution on yt covers all 180 or 360 degrees you are looking at. It is pixallated.

Also in poorer countries there are physical game exchanges. You play a game and trade it in for a new one with some money. Digital only removes this. It also destroys the second hand game market.

Article is wrong about one point, Wolverine is perfectly playable on 13.60 jailbreak. Currently, there are no unsupported titles with jailbreak. The upcoming GTA VI announced that it will require the latest software to be playable.

I explicitly asked LLM to write abstract away with a DSL and it did that. LLMs are good at this too.

LLMs are able to write racket. I have a fairly large project I've been vibecoding for the last 6 months. Models predating deepseek flash 0731 used to make paren mistakes and had a hard time. But now Opus 5.5 for example does not make any mistake writing clear racket code.

Corporate lawyer at big law firm here. I believe the model will be like this: we will review your 1000 agreements but with AI. AI is generally accurate but has some risks, if you agree we will charge you less. The client will agree. Instead of spending 300-400 hours to review the ageeements AI will do instantly. A lawyer will spend the time on reviewing the red flags identified and draft a report. We already do the same with translation. Before computer translation became good (i.e pre-Deepl era), we used to translate documents (cease and desist letters, court petitions etc.) ourselves. Now we offer AI translation free of charge. If client wants reliance on the translation we charge a small bit. Lawfirms are also under pressure for meeting internal budgets. Most clients ask for capped fees. If you charge 10k for a job to a client and the hourly costs ramp up to 20k, the management criticises the partner, the associates become unwilling to work for the partner (as their hours get written off). So with AI law firms can bet more competitively as the cost (human attorney hours) are reduced.

Lawyer here. I used to trust Claude as hallucinations are near non-existent now. However for large volume tasks such as due diligence exercises, they still happen. We also tried Legora's tabular review, there were also numerous halucinated provisions in our due diligence exercise.

There is a huge gaming community who use these processors to emulate gaming consoles and windows games. I am still amazed I can emulate PS2 and Switch games with upscaled resolution on my S25 Ultra.

Ketoacidosis can also happen with stable blood sugars if you don't get enough insulin. There were people rationing insulin due to cost and some of them died of DKA even if their blood glucose was perfectly stable. Another possibility of DKA with good blood sugars is when you are sick. I think this data would be helpful.

Yes, this is true. There were also news about some Americans rationing insulin due to cost. Their blood sugar levels were normal, but they had high ketones and unfortunately died of DKA. When I got first diagnosed, we were given ketone urine strips and told to use them, with the advance of glucometers, we forgot about ketone testing.
