In aviation all code and doc are available to inspectors when a catastrophic failure or near miss happens.

It's not the case for other industries, and in particular car industry is able to hide about everything software related from inspectors.

Interesting device for those using diet to induce ketosis for diabete or mental illness care.

One great thing about the keto diet is that it is the only diet where you can be sure you follow it correctly ... by measuring your ketone levels.

And for glucose since different people will react very differently to various forms of carbohydrate (and associated foods) a CGM is always a must. (1)

google.com and fb are continuous services with perpetual running costs whereas an openweight llm is a file to be dowloaded once and then no further cost to the provider


What about training cost? what if there need to be updates for whatever reason, say a loophole in the training data that can be exploited?

Who food the bills and what are their motivation? You never ask yourself that?

Are you using audio to text? It is the second time you use food in foot the bill.


Old frame.work mainboards make fantastic proxmox home servers: 3 watt idle 8 cores 64 GB RAM.


Dell latitude 7480.

usb-c port is now dead, it is soldered.

Not going to happen to my https://frame.work laptop, 10 eur part, no soldering, not even a screwdriver, and good as new


Arent the USB ports on the framework also soldered on? I’m looking at a picture of the motherboard right now. Unlike my MacBook it doesn’t use a daughter board for the ports. It’s straight on the main board. Seems less repairable than my MacBook.


The ports on the motherboard are soldered, but you don't use them directly. You attach "expansion cards" which slide into a slot on the laptop case which locks them in place. So those ports seldom see any forces applied to them. All your day-to-day wear (plugging/unplugging, twisting, yanking) is going to be on the port on the expansion card which you can replace for $10. It's basically like a daughter board that is trivially user-replaceable rather than a daughter board that you have to open up your laptop to replace.


It’s a €20 / 5 minute fix on the MacBook to swap out the USB daughterboard. The solution framework uses takes up a lot of space and doesn’t really help you if you short out the port or drop the laptop on its side.


As far as I can tell, Apple doesn't sell the daughterboards so you have to go spelunking for salvaged parts with your macbook. I can get all my first-party brand-new replacement parts at https://frame.work/marketplace .


It is available as a first party repair part for €16.20 via https://selfservicerepair.eu/

Apple part number is 923-03553

Also available third party via various retailers.


Ah I didn't know Apple put their repair parts under a different domain. I stand corrected!


Everyone is familiar with Framework modules, Framework is a sacred cow on HN.

It is a non-feature that results in a net loss of physical space for ports owing to their gargantuan size.


You mean the dongles?

The actual USB-C port on a Framework is soldered to the motherboard. If you destroy the port electrically it is the same thing.

If you are inserting/removing cables like a gorilla, then buy a 3" dongle (aka magic Framework module) for your other laptop.


> If you are inserting/removing cables like a gorilla

You've never moved your laptop without realizing it is still plugged in? I've done that a couple of times. My framework gives me peace of mind because I know the only port that will be damaged from that is the one on the $10 card because the card is firmly attached to the laptop body. Your suggestion of a 3" dongle doesn't have that benefit so yanking a plugged-in laptop could still cause a loose or broken port on your motherboard.


> You've never moved your laptop without realizing it is still plugged in?

No.

This damage usually happens by tripping over the cord, which results in the laptop falling on the floor, so a USB-C port is the least of your worries.

There's a reason Apple went back to MagSafe.


But in that situation, you know the damage _wont_ be to the USB ports on the motherboard. The motherboard is screwed to the case, and the expansion cards are locked to the case, so they won't move relative to each other. You expansion card might get damaged by the initial tripping over the cord, and some other parts might get damaged from the fall, but you can trivially buy first-party replacement parts for anything you broke. MagSafe would be nice, but the expansion cards are doing their job to protect the motherboard.


If you drop a framework on its side the impact on the dongles will push them onto the board. Plastic flexes. There isn’t any shock absorbing happening. I don’t see any strain relieve on those dongles.

Perhaps framework can learn from Apple here.


Strain relief would be nice, but framework has been shipping laptops for 5 years. Has this hypothetical happened to anyone? It sounds unlikely to me.


Apple solved this with a $1 internal flex-circuit vs a fist-sized external module.


That specific issue, but they didn't get the other benefit of expansion cards: being able to "change" the ports on your laptop without needing some external dongle. Also, your fists must be tiny.


Tim Noakes is cited in the article for his 1987 book "The Lore of Running", I wonder if people following its 2021 "Real Meal Revolution" about keto would be subject to the very same OTS or not in the long run.


It's impossible to do really high intensity endurance training on a ketogenic diet. You won't have the energy to execute the fast interval workouts necessary to increase your race pace. So in that sense it will prevent OTS, but it will also be impossible to compete at an elite level (except maybe for longer ultramarathon events where speed isn't as important).


The article talks about above 10 hours run time, is that "high intensity endurance" or something different in the context?

(Curious)


I don't think anyone has good data on sports where events last >10 hours. The population of athletes is quite small which makes it difficult to study effectively.

There is a bit more data on iron-distance triathlons, where the elites finish in the 7-8 hour range. They all do some high-intensity interval workouts and none are on ketogenic diets. Whether this type of training and racing is optimal for overall health and longevity is an open question; I suspect probably not.


Do you have a reference for the leaks? I read leaks were underestimated but I didn't find recent studies about it.

Thanks!


The figure comes from methane satellites and other methods (planes, drones, etc.)

Pulse.ghgsat.com as I recall. It's down these days(discontinued). It used to be free. They used to do reports on what they found. I think their stuff is all commercialized now. :\

Pulse was pretty cool. They had a global map where you could see various emissions going back years and years and years and you could watch it unfold over time.

The closest thing I've found to that is ESA Copernicus browser looking at the sentinel(s) data: https://browser.dataspace.copernicus.eu/

Or tabulate it yourself: https://climatetrace.org/compare

Change the gas to CH4. Now add up the top 20 where it indicates it's from the oil or gas industry?

I got to 20 megatons(Tg) adding just the first 13!
