It was my experience with the libre 2+ and the libre 3. I've never used the libre 1 so I couldn't say if it applies to that one. That said the 2 and the 1 don't really qualify as CGMs as you need to poll them for glucose readings and I believe they're limited on polling frequency (something like once every 5 min) so they're much closer to a traditional glucose monitor than they are a true CGM.

Abbott claims they're good for 14 days of use but my experience is that they're worthless after 5 to 10 days. The first 5 days of use they're about as accurate as the Dexcom units (typically +/- 10%). Beyond that they start to read increasingly low (-50% to -80%) with readings often failing entirely by day 10 or 11. It wouldn't be a problem if you could replace them after 5 days, but if you do that insurance pitches a fit and refuses to cover more of them because "they're good for 14 days".

Unfortunately I am severely allergic to the adhesive Dexcom uses that they claim is hypoallergenic.

WINE is basically an adapter. It exposes a Windows API and calls the equivalent Linux APIs when invoked. That's less overhead than an emulator which models an entire virtual piece of hardware. When you run a Windows program through WINE your computer is actually executing the code of the program just like any Linux one it's just calling WINE libraries instead of the Windows ones it normally would.

They would only be obliged to open source any extra code they added to the kernel. If whatever they add lives in user space then it can be closed source (that's one of the key differences between GPL 2 and 3 and why Linus refuses to use GPL 3). That said the problem with Windows at this point isn't really the kernel, it's all the user space crap they built on top of it.

So, the Democrat candidate did better than the last election but still got absolutely annihilated. Woo. Yay. Happy Day.

This is such a non-news story for anyone but a DNC staffer it's ridiculous. Maybe someone wants to breathlessly report on how much better or worse the green party candidate did last election as long as we're talking about things that don't actually make any difference.

If you "outperform by double digits" and still lose by a double digit margin that just highlights how terrible you are, and how fucked we all are. Had they managed to win that seat or even get things close enough that the loss was in question that would be a news story, this is just reading political tea leaves.

I don't expect the current generative AI investors to make an RoI anytime soon. If at all.

Considering what they've been spending and the fact that not one of them has figured out how to actually make a profit off of generative AI, they're going to be in the red for at least a decade if not forever. This is just the dotcom bubble all over again and in a few years 90% of these companies pushing AI heavily will be bankrupt. Only silver lining is there's going to be an absolute fire sale on old used data center hardware at some point, not that that will make up for destroying the PC sector and our economies in general.

Well anything the Heritage Foundation is against is clearly a good idea, so Europe should be proud that on the whole they're doing a good job. Keep pissing off the Heritage Foundation to keep winning.

Reading the quote it doesn't sound like she was necessarily talking about Charlie Kirk. What was actually said was very ambiguous and there are a few different ways it could be interpreted only one of which would be in reference to Charlie being a grifter while the others wouldn't. It's certainly interesting and a decent chance it was a freudian slip, but the article title doesn't really seem justified. It acts like this is some huge bombshell when it barely qualifies as a footnote.

like, minus all the plagarism and energy use issues.

Pretty sure that's the primary thing everyone takes issue with. If you removed that most people wouldn't have as big of a problem with it. There is still a social issue at play in terms of the potential damage generative AI can do to the job market with no real safety nets or long term consideration for the consequences to society and the economy, but most people aren't even getting that far.

You would think that but there have been many examples of placeholder textures getting missed and ending up in shipped games.

Well, I guess on the bright side we might finally see the utter waste of resources that the TSA is eliminated. Guess this is one of those "a broken clock is right twice a day" situations. Not many wins to be had under this administration, but if this happened it would be one of the only positive things.
