@thepatwalls Have you also considered dietary changes? Soluble fiber could help pull a lot of things down - things like psyllium husk, flax, chia, oats... Even vegetables like okra, eggplant can help soak up the excess cholesterol.

@ZONEofTECH I had my Oura ring Gen 3 stop charging after ~3 years and eventually the battery swelled after leaving it on the charger for a while. Fortunately, it wasn't on my finger at the time. Samsung appears to have much more frequent issues though.

@conne_psd @ZONEofTECH I've heard from a firefighter that it can't be cut with bolt cutters, but crushed. I haven't seen it been done before though.

@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS I've heard from a firefighter that titanium can be crushed to crack it, rather than cutting it. It's very difficult to cut with bolt cutters, but stepping on it may be a way to get it off.

Using lubrication and other methods is the ideal first approach, however.

Sometimes the routing from your ISP is slow and maybe overwhelmed. On some Thai islands with fiber I had laggy internet, but was much smoother once I'm VPN back to mainland.

The VPN can reduce some of the load on your ISP routers?

If you want to geek out, you could try a `traceroute https://t.co/o3auVEevgF` with and without VPN

Very insightful analogy! I think most people feel happier in a place that's more walkable and easier to get around. Plus not having the financial burden and stress of needing to own a vehicle and drive everywhere.

Sometimes these places are so desirable it drives up the rental price too. But if human-centered design is more standardized, it won't be such a luxury.

[Andy Boenau @Boenau]

To design a habitat for zebras in a zoo, you need to work with someone who knows what makes zebras happy, irritable, calm, or agitated.

But the experts who design places for humans have very little understanding of human needs and emotional responses.

Our bodies are designed to walk, but our cities and towns have been designed around cars, and our local land use policies keep us dependent on cars.

@levelsio @FT Heat pumps are also more efficient for heating too.. so the investment doesn't need to be for "just a few hot days per year" The same mechanical system could heat and cool ?

[Steve McCann @SteveRMcCann]

@ryanzanardi @levelsio It's all the same technology essentially - using a heat pump. Some heat pumps can also work in reverse and be used for heating inside in cooler weather.

Heat pumps can have different efficiencies though. AKA the SEER or BTU per hour per watt.

@AlexanderGlista Isn't there a good quantitative way to show prioritizing transit and other modes will move more people in the same road space?

@nutrition_facts Does reducing inflammation reduce muscle gain at all?

[Steve McCann @SteveRMcCann]

You can use the unifi app on your phone to "adopt" the APs and setup the wifi network. After the APs are configured, wifi will work and don't need to always be connected to a controller.

These APs are configured initially with the controller/app, however. Something with the controller built-in is nice, as it can give you alerts and may auto-optimize wifi bands from time to time, as well as monitor signal strength over time, etc.

Once they're setup, it's rock-solid gear and the web-based controller interface is pretty straightforward too.

@gregorrobertson Is there any focus on reducing car-dependant sprawl for new developments?

I would much prefer walkable communities that favors other modes of transport. @OhUrbanity @notjustbikes

[Steve McCann @SteveRMcCann]

@OfficialLoganK @kazzkiq @GeminiApp Is there a big focus on improving the Gemini features and UX? It's behind chatgpt in several areas.

[Steve McCann @SteveRMcCann]

It may just be like other crimes where people are masked. Not common, but if it does happen, there may be witnesses or video with more info and identifiable characteristics to catch them.

I doubt most of the people who opportunistically mess with these cars have masks, or will make the effort to hide their identity.

[Steve McCann @SteveRMcCann]

Yeah, they can't scale their offering as quickly as Tesla. How does Gary think the competitors autonomous vehicle hardware will be available in so many markets?

If pure vision autonomy is solved, then having the critical mass of cars that can be strategically positioned around areas so wait times are reduced will be a great experience. Definitely will drive adoption and the minor inconvenience to onboard to the Tesla app.

@IterIntellectus Founder mode? Sergey is back and letting the teams cook,? They have lots of resources and talent.

In SF it seems a lot of the frontier breakthroughs don't stay secret for very long. They share a lot in the AI community.

[Steve McCann @SteveRMcCann]

@levelsio Yes, especially once there's some traction it's an important aspect for a viable business.

Platforms like @PalantirTech AIP can give you enterprise features out of the box. But maybe not as fun / fluid like sketching up a prototype/ MVP in any coding language.

[Steve McCann @SteveRMcCann]

@elonmusk @karpathy It's so cool to observe the frontier evolution of artificial intelligence architectures

[Steve McCann @SteveRMcCann]

Do you think it would it store these reflections and mental models in a human language? JSON? Or would it be another matrix?

It would be ideal for humans to be able to inspect and observe the structures it puts in place. Be able to view the dictionary/ mind map of LLMs.

More akin to communicating with an intelligent person that can communicate their intuition about what are the aspects that bring them to certain conclusions, or the process they will follow for certain problems.

@CyberNeil @BeardedTesla May need to get a @LightshipRV ... Although those are more like $100k
