Please help me make sense of this

I have elevated creatinine since at least a year (values oscillate between 1.15 and 1.30 basically) so I decided to do a proper advanced renal bloodwork.

And now my Cystatin C is flagged as lower than reference which is confusing to me. Is that bad? From my limited knowledge, I see other results as pretty normal, but I'm very confused now.

I'm male 49yo, currently on high protein diet and moderately to high activity (running around 20kms per week and strength training 2-3 times usually)

TSH 1.03 µUI/mL against 0.45–3.67 for males 40–69, if that matters.

Many thanks!!!

Intermittent tailgate ajar warning, flickers every few seconds while driving, sometimes absent for days, tailgate is fully closed

This drives me crazy (no pun intended). I recently did revision 90k km, full checkup, and of course Audi garage didn’t manage to reproduce 😅

Please tell me there is a solution to this?

What is the current position on using Pi or other harnesses with a Claude subscription?

I just received an email regarding our team plan. It mentions third-party app usage, but I’m struggling to understand its implications.

Could someone please clarify if this means we can now use the Pi coding agent with a Claude subscription? I’m specifically referring to coding tasks, not sharing the subscription with other users through apps I create.

Thanks in advance friends!

Comment payer une amende si on n'a plus le courrier?

Besoin de vider mon sac avant de poser la question. Le système d'amendes en France est une honte nationale en 2026!

Je sors d'une opération chirurgicale. Voiture garée en face de l'hôpital, place payante, évidemment impossible de renouveler le ticket depuis un lit d'hôpital. PV dans la foulée, c'est de ma faute, j'assume.

Sauf que voilà comment ça se passe en France en 2026 :

L'amende arrive par courrier papier dans ma boîte aux lettres. Papier. En 2026. Déjà là on est dans le musée.

Je ne récupère pas le courrier le jour même car mentalement je n'avais pas la force de m'en occuper (j'étais, je rappelle, en convalescence). Le lendemain, plus rien dans la boîte. Volée, perdue, le facteur a éternué, aucune idée. Le fait est que je n'ai plus l'avis.

J'appelle le numéro dédié en pensant naïvement que avec ma plaque d'immatriculation ils vont pouvoir retrouver le PV. Réponse texto : "On ne peut rien faire pour vous, attendez l'amende majorée." Donc je dois attendre de payer plus cher parce que leur système est incapable de me retrouver via ma propre plaque.

Aucun portail en ligne pour consulter mes PV. Aucun SMS de notification. Aucune app. Aucun moyen de payer proactivement quand je SAIS que j'ai une amende en cours.

Dans à peu près n'importe quel pays correctement digitalisé :

  • SMS instantané avec le montant
  • Lien direct vers le paiement
  • Historique consultable
  • Notifications avant majoration

Ici : papier, téléphone, et débrouille-toi.

On a FranceConnect, l'identité numérique, des impôts en ligne qui fonctionnent plutôt bien, mais pour une amende de stationnement on est resté en 1987.

Quelqu'un a une astuce ou je dois vraiment subir la majoration pour un truc que je suis prêt à payer maintenant ?

Anthropic lost us today. 70+ engineers migrating to Codex

On Claude since its inception. Built our entire stack around it.

Today, leadership greenlit the Codex migration that will probably happen at the end of June. A significant portion of the team had already drifted to opencode and Pi using Claude OAuth (I didn’t because I was scared to have the company perma banned because of me), but now Anthropic announced that this is officially over.

Anthropic kind of shot themselves in the foot over the past few months: no roadmap clarity, not allowing alternate harnesses for coding, no reason to stay apparently. I will continue with my personal Claude subscription because I really like Opus, but not gonna lie, if I have Codex for free, it’s gonna be difficult to justify, especially if I have to use it in CC.

Sad to close this chapter. Anyone else jumped ship after the latest announcement? Curious how Codex is holding up compared to Claude on big projects.

Can we have a clear stance on Claude subscription use in alternative harnesses for purely personal use?

I know many people are using the OAuth in Pi, Opencode and other harnesses because the ToS is not super clear on whether it is against the rules, but I admit I'm too afraid to do so with my professional Team plan and potentially get my whole company blocked.

Is it too much to ask for some clarity?

Pretty please, Anthropic, tell us clearly what we can and cannot do, without ambiguity.

Hello friends,

I searched Reddit and saw Remitly recommended, but they have a shady practice of adding a hidden 2% fee between the summary screen and the final “pay” click. This may be illegal in some countries. Not sure about here. Either way, a 2% fee is roughly equivalent to a direct bank transfer (NBD, in my case).

What is the cheapest option today? Any service similar to Remitly but without hidden fees and with good EUR conversion rates?

Please do not recommend Wise or Revolut. They are not available in this region.

Thanks!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
