AI for Low-Pesticide Agriculture @garrytan Farmers are stuck in a bad loop: use more chemicals, get diminishing results, pay more, take on more risk. And they can't just stop, because if pests win, crops die. AI that can identify individual weeds in real time, robotics that can treat one plant instead of blanketing a field, and new biological solutions mean this problem finally looks solvable.

On Khamenei: We don’t list markets directly tied to death. When there are markets where potential outcomes involve death, we design the rules to prevent people from profiting from death. That is what we did here. I know some of you disagree and prefer that we list these markets without a death carveout because it keeps the rules simple and because many traditional markets, like oil futures, can be proxy markets for war and death. But we believe that’s different than having a market directly settling on someone’s death, which is not allowed for US regulated entities. What’s the point of the market, then? A market on Ali Khamenei out as Supreme Leader was important because leadership changes in Iran have major impact on the world order: • geopolitical implications • economic consequences • national security considerations • oil and commodity prices, many of which move based on news and expectations around this outcome And it’s always possible for a ruler to step down or transition power without death, even in autocracies. It just happened in Venezuela. In these instances, we make the caveat clear in the rules and in the market page, but today is a good learning that we can do more in terms of improving the UX and adding more ways to surface the rules. We are committed to improving. In the meantime, here’s what we’re going to do: • We are reimbursing all fees from this market • If you have a position from before Khamenei died, you will be paid out on the last-traded price before his death. (This was clear in our rules) • If you have a position from after he died, we’re going to fully reimburse your cost of entry

Most fitness people or people who care about longevity generally agree most of your food should be boring The idea that food should be fun and interesting and different every meal is a recent post-1950 marketing psyop to make you buy stuff Food is primarily fuel, you don't mix up the fuel you put in your car either Also meat and eggs and veg and fruit are basic staples, you can combine them in many ways to be more interesting if you want, just leave out the processed stuff, sugar and flour in everything And of course everything in moderation including moderation, you can have fun unhealthy food as long as it's not every day But yes primarily I think food should be fuel

How do you mix things up so you don’t get tired of the same thing? I mean, as a broke intern 10yrs ago, I did steak and eggs diet (5day 6 egg breakfast, steak lunch, and some fruit/snack dinner and weekend as cheat days) but now, it’s harder to stick to just one kind of meal. I’d get bored

Boom 💥@LoveCodeTrade·
🚨 Joel Engardio wants to destroy everything we love about the west side of San Francisco 🚨 He wants to rip out our roads and replace them with towering skyscrapers—a vision that ignores the will of the voters who trusted him. We chose this side of the city for a reason: to escape overcrowding, to enjoy open spaces, and to live with less density and more parking. Let’s make one thing clear to Engardio and every future leader: when you come for our quality of life, we come for your seat in office.

@Twolfrecovery @LondonBreed @JoelEngardio Parkside voter. Very thrilled to close the useless “highway” and transform it into a real park instead of just some asphalt to walk on. Plenty of other roads still available to get around town.

This is the Prop K voter map. I don't have a dog in the debate about closing the great highway, but if everyone who lives near it wants it to stay open, maybe that should be a consideration? @LondonBreed @JoelEngardio

@andrewmccalip If you’re running old school influx oss, their cloud replication mechanism is quite good for aggregating multi-bot influx data to a centralized influx cloud instance. Basically free onboard caching system.

@andrewmccalip Relion makes some decent OTS lifepo4 packs that have a CAN based BMS. They have their quirks but generally work well and can chain increase capacity.

Smart lithium battery people: Which BMS should I use for Bob? • LiFePO4 chemistry • 6s - 50ah • 10a peak discharge • RS232/485 or I2C comms • 20,000hr+ MTBF
