Wow, so While Foods sells Taylor Farms too?

What the fuck.

Well, before 2026 it was. Now prices are bonkers and PBS is being defunded.

There are crazy people who believe they can just real time hallucinate consistent and fun video games without actually building real games.

Google has already put out multiple demonstrations of early versions.

I’m skeptical they will ever make them have grounded world interactions, collision or consistency over time. I’m also skeptical they will ever be cost effective to run.

But yeah, this is one possibility.

Meta said it would open source its most powerful AI models and launch new ones designed for consumer devices, as it looks to rival leading labs like OpenAI and Anthropic.

In an Instagram video posted Monday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the company would open the weights[…]

These paragraphs contradict each other.

No one actually knows what open source means. Yet so many random people use the word. Including reporters.

I never noticed how pervasive they were. They just blended into the background. Now they are very noticeable and notable.

This is why reporting UFOs can’t be stigmatized anymore. Who knows what you may have seen.

I wonder if compression algorithms ruined this an injected some red.

The catch is: this is 90% of what they will make for the next three years, now.

Why can’t the master race take these guys down?

Yeah, for sure. But I think we both know how some technology manages to stick around surprisingly long.

Even so, this is different. Spectrum use is a different animal from fax machines, COBOL and Windows CE.

I think things like commercial and high end home automation. And security stuff. I might be mistaken tho.

And it might sound like that’s old and out of date. But it stuck around cuz it was reliable.

I’m glad you got some feedback out of it. I think that’s where they have the most value right now. But they are too expensive and too inconsistent for the sort of mass rollout RFK wants here in the US. They need to improve a lot to move away from the style of use you got out of an OTC version.

I loathe the sort of discourse I see about movies these days. The same trite stuff is always repeated. And it feels like a large percentage of it flows from shitty online sources.

Do you not use an ad blocker? I don’t think I’ve seen a single ad. Apart from, like, movie posters. I actively avoid ads tho.

Pressure lows are a known thing. I recently learned there is a new type of device that lasts 365 days, but it involves surgically inserting the sensor under the skin and removing it at the end. The sensor is then powered by a rechargeable external device. They claim this technique is basically immune to compression lows.

But this isn’t available over the counter, and requires a specific diagnosis to qualify.

I feel like I’m a Stelo unicorn. I’ve had good luck, and when I check with a finger prick it’s always close. I don’t use insulin. So it’s fine for my needs.

I suspect my body/arm/skin is ideal for the technique these use. And I think a large subset of people never have as good of luck. If you look on Amazon, you see the CGMs always have 2.5-3 stars. And in a broken place like Amazon where reviews are somehow always 4-4.5, this really shows how much you are rolling the dice with the OTC ones. But like I said, it’s been working for my needs.

It’s clear this market is proven and is valid. I hope breakthroughs in tech can happen to improve reliability, and longevity. If someone like Apple figures out how to do it with a watch style device, it’ll be really fantastic.

RAM sold separately.

For more context for people who don’t know. You can buy CGM devices over the counter from places like Walmart and Amazon.

They attach to your body and monitor your blood glucose via a small “thread” that goes into your skin when it’s applied. They typically cost $50 for two weeks.

The OTC version has been around for a shorter period of time than the ones that require a prescription, but work the same way. The OTC ones tell you they are not for diagnosing diseases. Or for people who rely on insulin.

And Dexcom, the company in the article, is the most prominent vendor for these sorts of things. “A Dexcom” is the “Kleenex” for CGM in the type 2 diabetes world. From what I’ve seen.

RFK has been talking about wanting all Americans to use CGM for a long time now. This is part of that. The MAHA people talk about metabolic stuff like it’s the solution to our fucked up food culture in the US.

I use a CGM. But I can’t help but be suspicious of RFK.

Rumors are that Apple has been dumping money into figuring out how to make the Apple Watch do CGM. They have been chasing it for years.

The theater had a broken AC when I saw it in 70mm. (Non IMAX)

Front boot or back boot?

ICOs are the same.
