If it doesn't have 65,536 Motorola 1-bit processors connected in a 12-dimensional hypercube, and a stunning case designed by Tamiko Thiel, I'm out.

Also T1D, and I think the point here is adding lean muscle helps with blood sugar, and that seems to be pretty well established at this point.

Does weight lifting have an immediate effect? Like so many T1D things (I suspect you'll know what I mean): insulin on board/carbs on board/sleep/cortisol/temperature/phase of moon/vibes all play a part, haha. If you like doing the same thing and getting different results, you might be Diabetic.

Anyways, hope you're managing well, and may your time in range be great!

Not a direct example, although I know there are some (I just don't trust my personal knowledge on African hunts) from the US:

The Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937 was lobbied for by hunters to self-tax (excise taxes) and reversed a long decline of wildlife in North America. The taxes raised $1.3 billion in 2025 alone, dedicated to state wildlife conservation and public access projects.

This is one pillar, there's a fishing one, duck stamps, etc.: hunters pay their own way for conservation (well, much of the P-R money is gun/ammo sales from non-hunters, but hey).

I'm using "harness engineering" to do this: smaller tasks, well defined stop conditions, runs in a VM with --yolo-mode. I've worked up to this, and ended up rolling my own thing because nothing I found did what I wanted:

* agent fan-out * VM containment * full harnesses with test/exit conditions * runs fully unattended

I expend a lot more energy on plans, though. I've got a full "Karpathy knowledgebase" that's effectively my jumping off point, so some of my projects have literally dozens or hundreds of docs they can source to build plans.

Skittles C4 is a Genuine Banger(TM).

Skittles candies are too grainy for me. I know they're a go to for many.

What if Financial Times has a vested interest in the real estate industry, and therefore wants RTO mandates? Something something AI I mean.

I think I'm actually going to go talk to my congressperson/senator/anybody who will listen. It's such an insult, that I have to go to an endo, who in my case probably knows some technical ephemera better than I do, but has done absolutely nothing to help keep me alive besides write prescriptions.

Like didn't even warn me of the dangers of hypoglycemia. After I nearly went comatose one time, "oh yeah, we have glucagon you can get if you'd like a prescription". Which is cool after you've been passed out in front of a restaurant, with people looking at you like they're going to hit you with narcan.

One of my secret terrors is getting narcaned by a cop.

Ideally, you're looking for something that spikes blood sugar fast (i.e. high glycemic index). This is why e.g. Skittles/Sour Patch Kids/fruit snacks (mainly the kind that don't... actually have any fruit, lol) are a go-to for type 1s.

You're basically looking for something that's analogous: as crack is to cocaine, <low snack> is to sugar. Hits fast and doesn't last as long.

I have to admit, the fact that a 12 pack is the same as a case of energy drinks combined with my "goblin energy" doesn't bode well, haha.

I'm trying to convince myself. But then it's just one more thing that the medical community is gatekeeping (you didn't book your followup appointment in time, so you're treated as if you're no longer in life-threatening danger of hyperglycemia is a reality for me, because I have a hard time with medical appts).

We really need some version of "permanent prescriptions" for insulin. Not OTC, because then insurance doesn't cover it, but infinitely renewable, so you don't have to go see an endo just to continue living.

I always carry ice packs and a yeti cooler. I have some other carry rigs, but 99/100 times if you see me out and about, that's me: cowboy hat, wayfarers, and yeti cooler.

So I just keep sour patch kids all the time in my pack.

But I'm always up for something else, especially when the SPKs are in an "ick" season. I appreciate the recommendation. SPKs have an absurdly high glycemic index though and seem pretty predictable for me.

I really need to get proper glucose tabs and stuff, and be like a "professional diabetic"... but I'm working on time-in-range, not "did you swab with alcohol" at this point, lol. I just feel good that I'm not shooting through my clothes.

Sorry for the day, fellow traveller, hope you get things nailed shortly.

This is literally the reason I'm still on multiple daily injections (MDI). I'm sympathetic to the author, I spent 50+ years without Type 1, and a few with it.

Just this morning, I ended up bolusing correctly, but then an emergency caused me to perform a lot more exercise than I had planned on. Then, bam, I'm paralyzed in bed, thinking about calling the ambulance, eating sour patch kids.

And believe me, when sour patch kids are an effective medicine, you have a disease that must just exist for spite.

So yeah, I feel like I can control conditions better with MDI, and can't seem to make the jump to a pump, even though it'd almost certainly improve my health and long-term survivability.

As someone working in the industry: August 1 is hanging out like the Sword of Damocles for the ~500 registered data brokers in California.

For consumers, it's already available though! You can join 275K of your neighbors and sign up.

The two hardest problems in CS: * naming * cache invalidation * off by one errors

Do not be surprised when I fork and call it Sizzurp.

Honestly, a pretty nice idea if you just want search without installing a bunch of dependencies/infra. I haven't used Tantivy, but I have a project it seems perfect for!

Brad Feld is a pretty smart guy and I agree with his take. Is there a lot of AI slop out there? Sure.

But is it possible to build real apps that work well? I can absolutely confirm. Deploying software that's used by household names.

I think people are making a lot of false dichotomy around this, just because there's AI slop doesn't mean that it never works.

While disappointing, Poettering is essentially a "wrong decision machine" so I don't know what anyone would expect.

And the author of the PR came in a little hot, which probably didn't help.

Hey, I can identify. Sending good thoughts your way.

The actual study states in the summary that it's the cardiac protective improvement that reverses, not that you're worse off for having taken a GLP-1.

So yeah, when you stop taking something that protects your heart and kidneys, it stops protecting... your heart and kidneys.

There's an increasing body of work that indicates that long-term GLP use (initially higher doses for weight loss, then tapering down) retains the cardiac and kidney benefits and can actually lead to additional weight loss.

Or your phone.

Admittedly, dependency cooldowns are a good idea, generally, to help prevent supply chain attacks.

Everybody hating on the IPX, but I have so much nostalgia. Yes, my friends who ran a repair shop kept employed fixing them, like transmission shops survive on minivan transmissions.

That era hardware (although I ended up with a fair bit of experience on the whole Sun 3/4 lines)... I had just gotten out of the Army, didn't know what I was going to be when I grew up, and the future was so terrifying but bright.

It's a good thing that I don't horde (except cars, that's a problem), because I'd have racks of these things. Named after Star Trek characters, not because I care about it, but because that was the naming convention at one of my first "real jobs".

IDK, maybe nobody else thinks this way, but I'm really glad to see someone fixing one.

Having to explain to customers that they didn't receive an email because Outlook has a multi-stage set of email servers and the inside ones reject due to the edge (antispam) servers is always interesting.

It would be interesting to have something like this but designed to act against OSC (I don't remember the expansion, it's a protocol used by a bunch of mixing boards), to help folks doing "amateur live sound" get the best out of their systems.

Somewhere in my copious free time I should take a pass at this.

Our stuff is configured to only run on staged files.

I leave unstaged files all the time, not sure what you mean.

Looks like an interesting project; thanks for open sourcing.

Although I'm continually hammering the daylights out of message/job queues, I never seem to have the time to do simulations like this. Kinda hoping that the increased leverage I've been getting from LLM-assisted coding lately might actually free me up to finally do some of these type of tests.

I've certainly sent thousands of emails this way. It was a simpler time.

I used to work in Pioneer Square, and there was a guy with a "portable" (think desktop PC in a milk crate, bungie corded to a foldable dolly) gaming pc playing on the regular. Granted this is back a bit.

Seattleites are a resourceful lot.
