In case it matters to the thread, Solecist is a newly created user that calls itself an AI language model. It seems to be geared to playing the “other side” in conversations/comments.

As a long time diabetic (t1d) with direct relatives also afflicted with this horrible disease, it’s frustrating that we often miss the key factors in insulin resistance and fail to see how they fit in.

The level of serotonin and its interplay with our current level of immune response/inflammation in our body is the single best predictor of insulin resistance. That’s simply because every good thing you can do to lower resistance increases serotonin. Serotonin then decreases inflammation. When you exercise for a long period of time you are not only increasing your immediate availability of serotonin, you are also increasing your daily availability for serotonin.

Obviously it’s a little more complicated but from a big picture standpoint, either something is increasing inflammation in you today and increasing your insulin resistance or (hopefully) the opposite is happening and serotonin is moving your insulin through your blood stream like a mag lev train.

On a side note, I do love cgms.

From 2017. Limited info on Github from 2018. Not sure if this went anywhere though it looks interesting.

I believe it's about integration with RCS. Now, I don't know much about rcs but presumably it's similar in features to imessage. So Google wants Apple to adopt RCS so you can send "blue" messages to others outside Apple's network.

Edit: minor punctuation.

Yeah I hear you. I’m pretty sure though I’ve come across sites that on a timed refresh have truncated the article. So the whole article was there until some process ran to check sign in status. Maybe that doesn’t happen anymore. I haven’t really noticed.

Sometimes, if Im quick enough, pressing the reader view on my phone shows the whole article. It doesn’t work on every site just some that are lazy and just throw a divider up on the screen without hiding the actual content. That worked for me here. Otherwise, I just use the archive links HN users post.

Woah woah woah. The sentiment here is pretty wild for me. Creating a platform that offers a free tier is a BUSINESS decision. Replit knew what they were doing bringing all of those free ‘customers’ online. They didn’t do it out of the goodness of their heart and they have to deal with the very real/costly aftermath of a bait/switch. Perhaps we should be used to this rug pull by now but that’s still what it is. I’ve never used replit but have been in the position to decide on creating a freemium model and I knew quite well what the consequences would have been. The idea that were saying it’s the users fault for falling for a tactic that’s origin is “yo man, try this … first hits free” is crazy to me. Now get off my lawn.

This site needs analytics if not just to see how much trouble (abandonment) the page scrolling issues cause.

Yes. We should be up to speed on safety issues surrounding the purchases we make. The third example is murder and we already have “regulations” for it. (I know arsenic and lead can be in muffins already. I’m assuming a large amount was added.)

I’m pretty sure that ransomware and other tactics that largely end with a significant crypto transfer is their end game. Evidently, they are really good at it - $1.7 billion in 2022.

So anything to slow down the researchers are my guess. Keep the drain open, so to say. Just my two cents.

For those who think that you can simply build something “fluid” or “flexible,” it’s a lot harder than it seems. A lot of the industry jargon comes from print and the printing process; margins, padding, kerning, spacing, etc. There is no such thing as a fluid layout on a printing press (as far as I know :-). So we are stuck with a language to describe design based on a different era. Additionally, in the design phase you HAVE to select a layout/viewport for proofs and examples. Which in turn the client will expect to look exactly right on every surface. There is obviously room for client education and pushback but fluid designs seem like an afterthought in html/css where we are adding new features on top of html/css that are best used in a fixed width based system.

This is exactly what happens. Especially if your voice is in the minority Or you’re the only one. You’re seen as a trouble maker. We all know what happens to trouble makers when margins are on the line.

Typically, lower demand means lower prices - at least in the short term. I believe that TSMC is saying that demand is decreasing quickly and a supply glut will need to clear until it gets better. Just my two cents.

My understanding is that the goal (if not there already) is that you can use wasm tech just like docker/etc. The value prop is wasm would be lighter and have other built in benefits with the adoption of newer browser (security) features like sandboxed file system integration. This would be made available without the overhead of chrome per se. forgive me if I overstate something but this is the gist.

Yep. While I'm not 100% positive, I also think mods that have certain disabilities (like blindness) rely on the app extensively.

This! So this. We also need to reestablish “chronic” as a word with only bad connotations; not something that means it’s ok to live with chronic diseases like t1d or x-arthritis’. Solving the overactive immune system will solve an outsized portion of what’s afflicting western populations. Depression, chronic fatigue, any auto immune disorder, etc.
