My girlfriend has diabetes and I monitor her Libre readings through LibreLinkUp.

Today I was at work when I got a warning that she was dropping fast. I messaged her something like "you're on the rollercoaster again?" and saw her go steep dive down to 2.9 mmol/L.

She didn't respond, so after a while I called her. She was very panicked because she had been cleaning and had accidentally broken some glasswork belonging to her son. She was extremely upset about that and didn't really seem able to process what I was saying about the low.

I tried explaining that I don't monitor her because I want to interfere with her privacy, but because I'm worried she could pass out if she doesn't notice the low. I also tried reassuring her that her son would care much more about her being okay than about the broken glass.

But it was obvious that logic wasn't really getting through while in panic mode. She was still at 2.9, although the arrow eventually became flat, and stayed so 45 minutes. (i'm actually typing this while she is that low)

What I'm struggling with is what happens afterwards. Even when the hypo/panic has passed, she can still seem somewhat angry with me, almost as if my calling her and monitoring her was a violation of her privacy. I understand that she doesn't necessarily want someone watching her glucose all the time, though we agreed upon this, but from my side it's difficult to just ignore an alarm when I see her at 2.9 and she's not responding she may pass out as well (so far that happened only once in our relation though, but still i worry such). If she didnt pick up the phone i would have left office work (not my prio then) and driven 20 min home to her.

For people who have a partner, family member, or friend who remotely monitors their glucose:

How do you handle these situations?

Do you have an agreed procedure for when the alarm goes off? Do you only contact them if they're below a certain level or don't respond? And how do you deal with the emotional aftermath when the person is angry or feels watched, even though you were trying to keep them safe?

I'm not looking to control her glucose or tell her what to do. I'm mostly trying to figure out how other people balance: privacy/autonomy with the fear that something could actually happen.

So how to delete the auto saves

I assume the game is in a finished state and thus allows for deleting played games.

Instead me going trough the Rabbit Hole of where it is installed etc...common don't say they haven't figured it out yet those devs

I've noticed that AI isn't just getting better, it's also getting much smaller.
There are now 27M-parameter models that can run on a phone or PC. (like the Bonsai 27B models)

If this trend continues, in a year or two there may be much less need to run AI in data centers or subscribe to large AI providers. For many tasks, your phone will be powerfull enough.

This does not only affect global energy use. Some investments in AI infrastructure could backfire. As demand for large-scale inference will drop. That could also reduce the need for new data centers, which might be a (dramatic change?), but be good thing.

What are your thoughts on the future of data centers as AI models keep getting smaller?

I know training still requires huge amounts of compute—for now. But even that could change, any day (some experimental models offer continous learning)

I wonder if a mini speaker can be directly attached to an io port or should there be a condensator in between or resistor I'm just unsure about it.

I want to create a wakeup allarm

​

Those devices should give 4 beeps upon refil.

The tune is so high we both cannot hear it.

Were in doubts if we should go with this brand. What could possibly be the risk if you cannot hear the Super high tune?

Were both older and our ears just cannot notice it. Let's hope any R&D person reads it. Or maybe someone has a trick or so

When i connect the action pro 6 using a data cable, the cable that came with it.
I see on the device : connected
in explorer i see: OsmoAction at D:\

But all folders it got dont contain data
There is about 15 Gig of video on the device, but i cannt get them over to my PC, to edit them ??

LLM models could be seen as a advanced compression algorithm who upon input decode in patterns. Seeing it this way offers maybe some new insights onto the weights we store in guff files.

​

Thisight be a fun area for research:

If one takes similar sized models guf files.

Ranked by best to worst.

Then zip those files, see which compresses the most. It would reveal something about information density.

​

Although that wouldn't actually mean the best would be the largest file. In information theory it kinda should be so. If not the model should be shrinkable, or be able to store more.

I’m hoping to get some outside perspectives on something I heard last night near my house. I didn’t see anything, and I didn’t think of recording it (kicking myself now), but I can describe it in detail :

The setting:
I live near a parking lot that has recently become a spot for people using drugs. Because of that, I’m a bit more alert to unusual noises than I used to be. Last night, I heard what sounded like a louder discussion or argument going on outside. At first I ignored it for a while, later I thought it might just be foreigners having a heated chat – which wouldn’t be strange at all in my area.

Later I opened a small window to get a better listen (i got more worried about dealers).
That’s when things got weird, creepy almost (and a reason to stay in home).

What I heard:

• It definitely had the temperament of an argument – a commanding, back‑and‑forth tone, like people were debating or one person was giving orders.
• But the actual sound of it was unlike any human language I’ve ever heard. And I’ve traveled quite a bit, so I’m familiar with a wide range of phonetics.
• The closest I can describe it is a rapid, rhythmic pattern: “dodododod dodododod dodod dod dodod dododododod dod” – repeated over and over.
• Here’s the kicker: the speed was faster than any human language can produce. It was quicker than someone rapidly counting to ten, yet it kept up that pace continuously.
• It lasted for a full 15 minutes, with a “talk‑response” structure (like a question/answer or call/response), but with minimal tonal variation. The variation was more in the pattern length of the dods.
• The pattern sounded as if two were speaking like that (could have been more)
• As for volume, it was louder than normal human speech but not insane loud. More like a classroom instructor speaking. Which is also creepy as it happened around 23:30

What it wasn’t:

• It wasn’t a bird or animal – I’m certain of that.
• (I live here 20+ years and have heard all natures creatures).
• It wasn’t police radio – the police don’t visit this location.
• It didn’t sound like any normal foreign language I know, even distorted by distance.

My question to you:
Has anyone else heard something like this? A fast, rhythmic, argument‑sounding noise that isn't quite human speech, lasting 10‑15 minutes? I’m trying to figure out if this was a mundane audio glitch (like a distorted Bluetooth speaker or a malfunctioning intercom) or something genuinely unexplained.

Any thoughts, similar experiences, or debunks welcome. Thanks for reading.

This is a question, i now recently a powerfull 8GB model came out to generate video, and i guess people here use it, but I forgot the name of the model, maybe someone here knows

(I got a 12gb card)

It's just so unrealistic, people can get off the highway, there is ramp going off leading to a traffic jam, okay... but that shouldn't mean all other traffic that should go straight should stop as well ???, in contrast, in real life, more people should skip and drive on take the other lane..

Is there a mod to fix this?

I wrote this code just as a small demo, can be used to find deathlocks in applications.
Especially within larger apps where a lot of async threads may live, the method may be valuable.
There is no big gui around it, it just generates some file output that tells the tail..

If you like it leave me a star on github or so.

An observation I made while watching some YouTube videos about this year's AI trend.

The battle between the "main" giants Anthropic and OpenAI is all about renting rack space, megawatt investments, big, no huge, plans are made for data centers, like a Manhattan Project, backed (well backed, they grant them rack space, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, who have their own models as well).

On the other side,
There's DeepSeek, a cheaper model just a few months behind.
And very recently, there are the 1-bit and 1.5-bit models, which might not yet have been really optimized for Ollama, but are 10 times smaller.

----

Currently, the rat race of giants is about investing in hardware, TPUs, CUDA, and other exotic chips; rackspace, data centers, and grid power. There is clearly money to burn; the sky is the limit.

Eventually, though, companies don't make a profit by burning money; eventually, reducing costs drives the business to be cheaper than the others if one can do with less memory and fewer megawatts.

Wouldn't training a DeepSeek-level 1-bit model be eventually more profitable?
As for running a healthy business rather than a Manhattan Project?

In other words, is the investment rat race a dead end?
The whole OpenAI thing reminds me of people who tried to buy all the silver in the market.
And that will not work, there are to many alternative parties

Especially the 1-bit models have about 10 times less memory requirement and run on lower-end GPUs. Maybe the market wants to go too fast. But here's the punch: the smart money isn't on who burns the most watts. It's on who needs the fewest.

Curious how you people think about it

And so i spend 5 euro for a new esp32 😅

Its such a fun when you make things yourself.

And realize how much other system costs.

I can brake 10 more and still keep laughing.
