From personal experience, one can get practically close guessing such that the error isn't going to be more significant compared to the errors in insulin to carb ratios/sensitivity factors/...

I am pretty good at this and the cheese sandwich example threw me, I would have estimated around 10-15g of carb for each slice. So the 28g is fairly consistent with that, not 40g. The only real way would be to weigh it and use the labeling. Another thing that often gets people is the labeling often has a serving size of say 2 slices and a weight that does not reflect the actual weight of 2 slices.

Luckily with good tools the significance is reduced, people using closed loop insulin pumps will automatically correct for that. Lots more room to wiggle.


I wonder if there will be a hardware solution in the future that duplicates memory over multiple channels and gives the first result back transparently without threads and racing.


That somewhat existed in servers in the past, my R720xd had RAM mirroring mode. IDK if it used it for reducing latency, but you could take out a stick and the server would continue running as normal and report an alarm in iDRAC.


No, as far as I can tell, it does not reduce latency for reads. The latency for writes is worse for both the average and worst case conditions as writes have to be sent to two dimms. The purpose is high reliability. I believe it's most analogous to RAID1 systems which, generally, only issue a read to a single device rather than taking the first succeeding of simultaneous reads.

Source: not only do I have an R720xd (and two regular R720s), I checked the Intel Xeon E5-2600v2 reference manuals.


Out of my area, but yeah, I have never heard of an optimized read using that. On the surface, it seems like a task much better suited for HW and there are companies that would probably pay for the ram per core penalty to get that low jitter in latency.


This is one of my fears with this, losing ones voice. Everyone's expression distilled to the mean. This has ramifications in things like recognizing if a person is who they say they are too. At least currently, it is punished/shunned to sound like an LLM, but it's well within reason to see that shift to individuality being penalized.


I think corporations will start penalizing first, they're already doing that to some extent at my work because they want their in-house agents to only review our PRs.


There is a lesson in Ukraine and Iran being that invading a prepared country isn't easy and takes full commitment. Taiwan is most likely very prepared to defend itself.


It might be prepared, but opportunity like that doesn’t present itself very often. Both US and Russia are tied in huge wars and won’t have spare capacity to answer Chinese aggression.


One thing to note, is that Ukraine has received billions of dollars of aid from EU and United States.

I'm not sure if the West has that kind of cash to dish out after the current war with IRAN.


I've used docker buildx to do this in the past. Easier to work with than qemu directly(it does so under the hood).


std::string since C++ 11 guarantees the buffer is zero terminated. The reasoning being thread safety of const members. https://eel.is/c++draft/basic.string#general-3


I don't want my vehicle connected at all. It's an open invitation to privacy reducing tech and exploits.


The issue I have with Thunderbird and RSS is that there's no good way to do a show me the unread only and keep the feed folders. You can do a search folder or show unread folders but that affects mail too.

Or I don't know how


I'm reading this on my RSS reader right now :)


I don't think the oil exports from Canada ever stopped. If anything, they have grown.
