This is what I immediately thought of as well, I'm just grateful you remembered the name of the project. An absolute blast from the past, thank you for unlocking the memories of me reading these cool projects way back when!

These are the same CGM technologies (Dexcom = Stelo and Lingo = Libre), just aimed at the over the counter "health and fitness" market. This is not verified info, but I would assume these are either A) the exact same device, just

I would postulate that it's even worse than this, given that default mode network activity is proven to be essential for a healthy mind. This is when engage in useful thinking even when we're not "doing anything". I thin

I was under the impression that PAYG accounts having access to the old provisioning limits is still very ambiguous. This article ( https://www.infoq.com/news/2026/07/oracle-cloud-free-tier-li... ) mentioned by

I can second this. Back when I first set up my free tier resources there I confirmed this with a sales rep, PAYG accounts will have immediate access to free tier resources, that limitation is only for trial accounts.

If you "upgrade" your account to PAYG you will not have this limitation. The "no free instances available" issue is only for accounts without a payment method. I got this confirmed with a salesperson ~2yrs ago when I fir

I'll (lightheartedly) come to their defense to say that this is how I and a lot of my peers made it through med school. The wetness of the page indeed unlocked some supressed memories. I think it's a combination of a ritual and so

There's support for encrypted communication with TPMs, but if I remember correctly this is almost never enabled by default.

I presume you're referring to receptor upregulation in response to the drugs. Bear in mind as you read my comment that this isn't my primary area, and it's been a while since I last studied cell biology and signalling around

Definitely not a good idea to be on it longer than 2 months. If we can't treat the underlying condition and the patient needs life-long acid suppression therapy, we switch to H2 receptor antagonists, like cimetidine. Long term PPI use

I personally believe you are right to be weary about holding off on long term use before the long term efficacy and risk profile of a drug has been established, but GLP1 class drugs have been around for a long time now. GLP1 agonist type in

It's not that I don't believe people can't be trusted with information. I regularly introduce basic diagnostic/statistical concepts to patients to explain why a certain test is needed, and why another would be wasted tim

This is a tough problem for sure, and I resonate with your sentiment that something has to be done with it. In my personal (fully anecdotal) view, I think clinicians desperately need to get better at communication, as well as meta-communica

Thank you, I appreciate you sharing your views on this. Coincidentally, I've only recently learned of the Overton Window [0] which describes that the spectrum of acceptable ideas in a society is subject to shift. [0] < https:/&

you raise a good point, I was trying to take the example to the logical extreme by specifically using berating. in essence, the example would be the same as whistleblowing (mechanistically speaking) So one would have to weigh the risks of b

the way I see US infrastructure, I feel like they (like most of the world) will never be able to claw their way back out of car dependence. Even the Dutch had to fight tooth and nail for it. I've lived in Germany for a while and there

Am I crazy for thinking that an employer should and has no say in whatever the fuck I do outside of work? As long as I'm not messing with company IP, I should be able to do what I want, no? Like, I should be able to even berate my empl

This is exactly why it's a bad idea. I agree that if this technology comes to fruition, it should be in every clinical and research setting as a tool for us to further our understanding. It shouldn't be a commodified test anyone c

We can and do full body scans. Typically in the context of research, or for focus/metastasis search in current clinical settings. The problem is that, in clinical practice, with every imaging technology there are trade-offs. Just becau

A few years ago, I applied for a customer service job for an outsourcing company that was contracted by Ryanair. They had a two week unpaid training, I tapped out on day 3 of the training, but until that point, I was given all the training

I share the exact sentiment. I unsubscribed once I was done skimming the body of the email.

Volvos also have this. At least my 2021 xc60 did.

I think the reality is much more grim. I believe we are now firmly in the territory where it is incontestable. (My opinion was cemented after reading Overshoot: How the World Surrendered to Climate Breakdown by Andreas Malm, Wim Carton) We

I agree with your sentiment, but I have a hard time imagining any alternative action scientists could take besides publishing and warning. Science is best when it’s purely that, I’ve seen plenty of living examples and read about past ones w

Are you perchance talking about deSEC? I've also switched to them, and thought that it was too much work to send an email and wait for replies, so I ended up using dummy inboxes for my other, lesser important domains. Though I guess it
