isn't that what GLP1s are for (before you get full blown type 2)


Yes, but even lifestyle changes (like a diet low in glycemic load and building muscle) can help reduce many of the harmful effects of type 2 diabetes, even sending it into remission for some people in early stages.

Type 1 is a different story. It’s the lack of natural insulin production (due to a damaged pancreas, autoimmune or other causes), basically the opposite problem to type 2, and no amount of lifestyle changes will replace of need of insulin doses.


I just want to make clear what the other commenter said: type 2 is completely reversible in its early stages. Lose weight, eat a more healthy diet, and you should see your body return to normal.

Unfortunately, there's a serious time limit on this news, as the disease does permanently damage your cells, but in a way that's not terrible. It's probably easier to be shocked by a diagnosis into a lifestyle change than to find out now and undo 30 years of living with daily insulin injections anyways.


Always seemed to me like RAM value is much more irrelevant on phones since every app is sandboxed and uses APIs for background operations.

RAM is also always consuming battery, so there are reasons to minimize it. I wonder what the RAM usage efficiency is between iOS and Android in real-world, installed-app-usage usecases.


It’s also not in their best interest to give third party devs the signal to go hog wild on memory usage. Already a lot of cross platform shovelware eats 2x-3x RAM as much as it needs to, doesn’t respond to memory pressure notifications (apps are supposed to free up nonessential cache, etc when that happens), and push other backgrounded apps out of memory.


It’s important for on device LLMs.


this guy really blew up after that bridge went down in Baltimore


He's got less than 20% of Tesla now, but he owns nearly half of SpaceX... bet you he'd be so so sooooooooo much richer if that went public too


With rational investors I doubt it. Space launch market size is like 20 billion. One launch is 70 million and they had 133 of them in 2024. Times two (currently at half market share) this would be 18 billion.

That does not take into account that they are increasing the market size themselves with Starlink.

And with Starlink it remains to be seen if that can be profitable. I doubt it. The Starlink satellites deorbit every 5 years and need to be replaced (CapEx+++).

This is compared to the trillion+ EV market.


Shotwell has claimed that Starlink is cash-flow-positive. They also have >5 million subscribers. ARPU is likely > $1000.

Both Starlink and Starship are >$5B programs. SpaceX has not raised nor borrowed near enough money to fund both of those programs, indicating that they've got sufficient cash flow to mostly self-fund both of them as well as pay the salaries of >13,000 employees.


was that Bluetooth or UWB? Cause that's like saying VHS vs. 4K


Marketing and PR humans were writing sentences like this one long before LLMs


Sure but this has the strong odor of LLM. Like, very strong.


LLM or not LLM, bullshit smells like bullshit


Somehow LLM bullshit is a step above normal bullshit because they've added an extra layer of bullshit to the bullshit.


Yeah the ultimate impact of LLMs might be the end of SEO and copywriting. Rhetoric is cool again, as in skill to convey as much meaning as possible using as little words as possible. "Content" was always a bit of a silly term: the inherent value of it is always negative (proportionate to size), offset by the new knowledge conveyed in a piece. The attention economy is collapsing right in front of our eyes.


It's ok, lotsa people have the money for it.


unless, you know, it's about blowing stuff up


How can she slap?


From the article's top-most paragraph:

> However, the Japanese honey bee ... repels ants by placing its wings directly in contact with intruding ants and flicking them away.


You responded to a late 2000s meme, I believe.
