There is a huge gaming community who use these processors to emulate gaming consoles and windows games. I am still amazed I can emulate PS2 and Switch games with upscaled resolution on my S25 Ultra.


Ketoacidosis can also happen with stable blood sugars if you don't get enough insulin. There were people rationing insulin due to cost and some of them died of DKA even if their blood glucose was perfectly stable. Another possibility of DKA with good blood sugars is when you are sick. I think this data would be helpful.


Yea I'm all about finding the uses for this after the fact. However, it seems unlikely that people who are struggling to afford (or get insurance to cover) insulin would be able to afford a cgm or cgm/ckm in this scenario. Also not sure how it's possible to ration insulin and keep your bg stable, but I wouldn't put it past the most skilled T1s out there. In the sick w/ flu case, thats true, but then whats the treatment action? I still think euglycemia + DKA is an edge case.


To ration insulin you limit eating carbs. If you don't eat, you need less insulin.

Treatment for DKA as far as I kmow is to give glucose insulin and potassium.

For example if you have a stomach bug and can't keep down anything you are at risk of developing DKA even if your BG is normal.

The thing is how do we know we are starving the body of fuel. Most diabetics (me included) are told not to exercise if bg is higher than 250mg/dl, but that is it. We hit over 250 mg/dl frequently and sometimes stay there for multiple hours (infusion set problems, fatty food etc.).

T1D athletes report that they eat a lot and take a lot insulin before/after training and they say they get tired very easily if they don't. They thought this as restoring the glucogen reserves in muscles but maybe it is about fueling the body.

I sometimes feel uneasy even my bg is okay and it had led me to panic attacks. Now when I think it could be raised ketones, or just anxiety.

Knowing the ketones would be helpful.

Yes, this is true. There were also news about some Americans rationing insulin due to cost. Their blood sugar levels were normal, but they had high ketones and unfortunately died of DKA. When I got first diagnosed, we were given ketone urine strips and told to use them, with the advance of glucometers, we forgot about ketone testing.


Minimed 780g user here, it is not perfect. For a true closed loop we need a system that can give glucagon as well. The current closed loop only gives you insulin to lower your blood glucose. When it gives too much it wakes you up and asks you to treat it. You also have to accurately count carbs of meals you eat, enter when you exercise. The sensors are also not quite reliable so sometimes it freaks out and you calibrate and go manual.

For a closed loop we need insulin and glucagon in conjunction to keep the bg stable without user intervention.


All closed loop systems require human action--maintenance,filling reservoirs, changing sites, dealing with the inherent variation of CGMs, estimating carbs, etc. even if glucagon delivery were on board (it's being worked on). But most are generally providing insulin delivery in real time, based on CGM data.

Also, I agree--glucagon would be a useful thing onboard for T1d, but not really for T2d, because (as you know) the essential problem there is highs, not lows.

And I definitely agree about CGM accuracy: most people don't know that there's a significant margin of error in all CGMs. It's 'close', but not precise.

I'm a parent of a T1d kid.


AFAIK, apple does not release drivers open source, asahi is a reverse-engineering endeavour and does not support GPU. For nvidia, there are both proprietary and open-source linux drivers. CUDA and inference works on linux with nvidia. I would recommend checking out this video of Alex Ziskind to shop for a computer to run local LLMs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mevUEQcumzU&t=224s. TL;DR besides Apple he recommends, DGX Spark, Tenstorrent Wormhole N300, AMD Radeon 7900 and NVIDIA RTX 5090.


I built open baffle speakers based on measurements and discussion I had with Claude. I think it is really good.

I am a novice, maybe that's why I liked it.


I think you are confusing Erdogan with Imamoglu. Imamoglu has photographs, classmates, there is no doubt that he attended college. His diploma was anulled because he transferred initially from a different college. He spent 4 years at the Istanbul uni, attended classes, passed the exams, there is no doubt in that.

On the other hand, Erdogan does not have a single photograph during his university years, no classmates to back his story. He started a two year degree, but there is no evidence he attended a four year program. A public notary issued a same as original certification on a disputed document. The original diploma of erdogan cannot be found. Looking at the date of the diploma, the university faculty didn't even exist yet.


I am not confusing anyone with anyone, just discussing the linked Wikipedia article. A few quotes:

>Aydın Ayaydın, a Member of Parliament from the opposition party CHP said that Erdoğan participated in the four-year degree education of Aksaray Academy of Economic and Commercial Sciences, as Ayaydın himself was a teacher of Erdoğan. Expressing that he remembers Erdoğan and his classmates very well, Ayaydın said "one of his classmates is Mehmet Emin Arat, who currently is a professor at Marmara University

>Mehmet Emin Arat himself called the claims on Erdoğan not having a degree "unfair" and "baseless", stating that "the claims do not have any legal, official or historical basis".[14]

>Israeli Journalist Rafael Sadi, who was another classmate of Erdoğan,[15] said that he was irritated by "people that are telling baseless lies just to slander the man for the sake of opposition" and shared the names of professors that he and Erdoğan followed courses from.

Of course they can all be bribed and/or lying, but the Wikipedia article as written supports the version that his diploma is legitimate. Or at least that's my reading.


Another T1D here. I do not have a compatible pump with looping. But I'd like to dip my toe into openaps.

I use a cgm (libre2).

Can I use autotune to tune my carb ratio, basals etc. without looping? How was your experience in this?

Do I have to use nightscout to run autotune?


I've run it against my nightscout data a few times to get insights to my profile. So yes, you should install it somewhere and run a CGM app such as xdrip which can transfer your libre2 data to your nightscout database.

So yes, if you are interested on autotune, a nightscout is required for now.


Have you tried Claude.ai. In my experience on computer science topics, the LLMs are very good. Because they have been trained on a vast amount of information online. I just had a nice conversation about mutexes and semaphores with claude and was able to finally grasp what they were.

I do not know if this is the case for example for mathematics or sciences.


No, this is not accurate in my trials. I use Claude.ai daily. If you ask questions on niche topics or dive down too deep, it says that resources on the topic are limited and you should consult a book.
