As a developer with #T1D, I built a set of @code extensions to help others manage #diabetes. The extensions display blood glucose readings in the status bar. Several CGM sources are supported. Free and open-source. All extensions can be found at https://t.co/cgb6JFxaSN

@Timur_Yessenov @cursor_ai BPM sounds like a cool idea!

[Borko @borkod]

I’ve published my CGM status bar extensions to Open VSX, so you can now see your glucose levels in your @cursor_ai editor while coding.

Available for:
• Dexcom
• FreeStyle Libre
• Nightscout

Completely free and open source.

I really enjoyed this episode of the @syntaxfm podcast. It's a very good review of the current state of AI coding tools. Very grounded and practical. https://t.co/Y6NjusGa90

Took the opportunity to visit NASA's Kennedy Space Center while visiting Orlando. Highly recommend it.

.@nickfrosst wants a global tech ecosystem that's not defined by Silicon Valley. He thinks @cohere can play a role in changing the global view of #AI, but that doesn't mean chasing a "digital god."

.@cohere’s new multilingual #AI model Tiny Aya supports more than 70 languages. And the company says it’s designed to run in places that may not have large-scale compute infrastructure.

We’ve raised $100M at a $1.5B valuation.

We built Render to give developers an intuitive path to reliable and scalable cloud infrastructure.

Now, we are bringing that same philosophy to long-running, stateful infrastructure for AI apps & agents.

Visited Orlando last week and had the chance to visit the IST Building of the Florida Polytechnic University designed by Santiago Calatrava. Very cool building to see and explore.

Big update to the Copilot/Claude/OpenCode skill for #diabetes and @NightscoutProj. Uses a local DB *and* rich entirely local reporting. This report was calculated and generated locally with the ambiguity loop happening in the LLM. Also works with LMStudio/Olama for airplane mode plan english analysis. https://t.co/llHG9aOp8h

TIL The Hubble Deep Field, one of the most iconic images of our universe, was captured at the discretion of the director of the Hubble Space Telescope using his director's discretionary time. This wild story is from the latest episode of StarTalk podcast. https://t.co/2612hdrbei

[Borko @borkod]

CloudFlare is acquiring Astro web framework. I've built several personal projects using Astro and all deployed on CloudFlare. I guess that's a common pattern 😛 Both products mesh together nicely so this makes sense. Hope CloudFlare keeps improving Astro. https://t.co/bJhvIQ6DVq

[Borko @borkod]

Enjoyed this episode of StarTalk with John Martinis, 2025 Nobel Prize winner in Physics. It threw me back to my grad studies. They cover superconductivity, quantum tunneling, Josephson Junctions, Cooper pairs, and other topics. https://t.co/kMOzvJA7Gk

Grammys are creating a new award for the best album cover art, splitting it apart from the best recording package category. Good way to recognize the artists involved in creating music. Also probably influenced by the prevalence music streaming services. https://t.co/W7cBJO6Jsa

TIL that Sony owns Snoopy. Sony bought a controlling stake of the Charles M. Schulz comic “Peanuts”. Also interesting is that the previous owner was a Canadian company. https://t.co/VqnwRcrRLD
