Många har hoppats att Livsmedelsverkets kostråd för fet fisk från Östersjön skulle ändras så att det skulle kunna bli lättare att sälja sill/strömming som livsmedele. Sill från Östersjön ligger nämligen idag under de gränsvärden som finns för PCB och dioxiner. Men istället ser det ut som om gränsvärdena kommer att sänkas.

Help me understand this
How is this
Cooling my gpu better than this
Germany is a fiefdom run by like 10 rich families and their extended families.
The motherfuckers also refused to lower catch limits on fishing in the Mediterranean, these people don’t give a fuck because they’re pretty sure climate change won’t get that bad and their wealth and power will be able to protect them from any form of civil unrest.
I’ve met these billionaires and their children they really are this callous.

Tuya soil sensor integration
I'm attempting to add a no-name chinese solar wifi soil sensor to my HA server and have a couple questions. I was able to pair the device to the Smart Life app, add the Tuya integration to HA, link my Smart Life account to the HA integration, and recognize the device from that integration.
The device in the Smart Life app shows sensor readings for temperature, moisture, and nutrient levels, but the only sensor reading available in HA is temperature.
So I guess I have 2 questions:
1. How to get HA to recognize the other sensors from this device?
2. Is there any way directly connect a device like this to HA without linking to a Smart Life account?
this always cheers me up

What's the deal with Reddit and Zelensky?
Just that. Someone uploaded this photo of Zelensky allegedly taking a selfie in Kupiansk, which is supposed to be a city already taken by Russian forces. I am not really informed of the situation in Kupiansk, but this is not the issue for me.
In the Politics subreddit, where this was published, the comments are overwhelmingly pro Ukraine, which, well, checks out. But what I find kind of trollish, are the comments surrounding Zelenksy. It's like reading the five-star comments of the Google Play Services app in the Play Store, or something. They repeatedly talk about how big and glorious are Zelensky's balls? Praising his balls, even though, he is a smaller guy? They praise the bold actions of Zelensky calling him a European hero, imagining his heroic dialogues as in some cheap hollywood movie, etc. To me, it just feels utterly fake? I mean, AI fake.
What do you make of this, guys? Please, remember, it's not about the conflict itself.

What is the AI vibe at work like for you?
I have a boss who tells us weekly that everything we do should start with AI. Researching? Ask ChatGPT first. Writing an email or a document? Get ChatGPT to do it.
They send me documents they "put together" that are clearly ChatGPT generated, with no shame. They tell us that if we aren't doing these things, our careers will be dead. And their boss is bought in to AI just as much, and so on.
I feel like I am living in a nightmare.
While this sounds like a good idea, leaving individual decisions to people, longterm it is quite dumb.
- if you let an LLM solve your software dev problems, you learn nothing. You don't get better at handling this problem, you don't get faster, you don't get experience in spotting the same problem and having a solution ready.
- you don't train junior devs this way, and in 20 years there will be (or would be without the bubble popping) a massive need for skilled software developers. (and other specialists in other fields. Better pray that medical doctors handle their profession differently..)
- you really enjoy tweaking a prompt, dealing with "lying" LLMs and the occasional deleted harddrive? Is this really what you want to do as a job?
- (bonus point) Would your company be ok with someone paying a remote worker to do his tasks for a fraction of the salary, and then do nothing? I doubt that. so, apparently it does matter how the work gets done.
Old enough to remember how people made these same arguments about writing in anything but assembly, using garbage collection, and so on. Technology moves on, and every time there's a new way to do things people who invested time into doing things the old way end up being upset. You're just doing moral panic here.
It's also very clear that you haven't used these tools yourself, and you're just making up a straw man workflow that is divorced from reality.
Meanwhile, your bonus point has nothing to do with technology itself. You're complaining about how capitalism works.

If this is an example of your level of reading comprehension, then i guess it's no surprise that you find LLMs work well for you.
Your answer addresses none of the points i made, and just tries to do the Jedi-mind-trick-handwave, which unfortunately doesn't work in real life.
that don’t exist in the real world.
A bit like your ability to reason and provide arguments. But i guess that happens when you have used LLMs for too long.
I'm sorry?
You have the gall to tell that to me, after the first thing you do is falsely accusing me of using straw man arguments and making things up.
And then come here, after providing zero actual counterpoints and tell me I am acting like a child?
Incredible.
Of course, the end point of everyone who doesn't really have any facts and just vibes on the internet.
Very predictable.

Yes it fucking sucks when you don't have insurance, and oh boy have I been there. But even in the most uninsured state of existence, I think 18 grand for supplies is a bit suspect. Even running a pump, which is almost universally covered for supplies by provincially funded pump programs btw, even in provinces undergoing insane health care attacks like in Alberta (where I live), I'm not sure I could hit 18k a year. Even disregarding that coverage.
Note that I'm not the sole experience in a disease that's complex. So grain of salt. But even if I put in an infusion set every two days, ran CGM, uninsured insulin, basically run the most expensive path I can, I can't hit 18k doing the math. Most I could hit in extreme math is about 6k. Still ridiculous, don't get me wrong, and still a defeating expense in times of shrinking incomes, over egregious government spending and the government protecting the ultra rich who are hoarding wealth.

But you don't fight a fight like this with overinflating figures. This isn't the US where a vial of insulin costs $600. So I don't know where these figures are coming from.
