damn this reddit thread is 3 months old? t1 here as well, and i struggle pretty bad. having been t1 for 20 years or more, i just can't click every article my friends and family send me promising progress for diabetics or potential cures. its just not worth getting my hopes up even when its a reputable outlet making some extraordinary claims. this sounds really promising but yea. its also depressing. its kinda too late to save me even if this comes very soon. which i doubt it will. However, this so called 'smart insulin' sounds to me much more like the shit produced by non-diabetics pancreases. like theres just no way the non-diabetic body is making a hormone that doesnt fully kick in for 90 minutes. that just wouldnt be as resilient and effective as what i witness in the people around me. its insane how they can, for example, eat a tub of ice cream on a whim and not be blasted into the 400s. or just go wild exercising at length on an empty stomach and not have an emergency low sugar.
There's already software that can definitely mitigate these problems you've outlined. I've been using AndroidAPS together with Lyumjev insulin, an insulin pump and a Dexcom system for several years now. Yes, I can go running with an empty stomach and yes, I can have a nice dinner without being in the high 400's... My glucose hasn't really been above 200 for months, and the last time was a leaking tube in the pump. My A1c has been between 5.5 and 5.9% for many years now. There's no need for ambulance to come and rescue me due to hypoglycemia.
If you're in any way technical, you should take a look into the solutions for artificial pancreas.
I've run it against my nightscout data a few times to get insights to my profile. So yes, you should install it somewhere and run a CGM app such as xdrip which can transfer your libre2 data to your nightscout database.
So yes, if you are interested on autotune, a nightscout is required for now.
I participated in studies where they administered insulin and glucose intravenously. It is wild how they can reliably drop my blood sugar from high to low within a few minutes. Subcutaneously this takes me hours to do in a stable way.
Not only veins, inhalable insulin like Afreeza is also really quick. Unfortunately it only appears to be available in the US (and maybe Canada?), not Europe/Asia from what I last remember.
Inhalable insulin (which is also very fast acting) iirc only allows a dose of 2 units. If your sugars are 400mg/dl (22ish mmol/l) one or two doses wouldn't put you into a coma if you knew your sensitivity. I'm pretty sure I've read up T1s talking about using it as such.
You dont seriously think MSFT expects this shit to benefit consumers do you? Their datacenters are overheating and the billing meter is still ticking while they burn, they need to figure out how to get consumers to start paying for this shit before they go broke and wall st sells them off for parts..
Either way, these are some of the first personal computers to have NPUs. They will improve. CPUs are 20 years optimized, this is literally the first try for some of these companies
if anything this is a very promising benchmark for the new tech,. we're getting close.
so what this means if NPUs are anywhere close to CPUs in the benchmarks is that NPUs are going to blow past CPUs very soon, because CPUs dont have much more weight to shed whereas NPUs are just getting started.
what are all these folks hoping to accomplish? By crying and starting shit about windows recall, all you did was signal to their shareholders and the financial analysts that windows recall actually substance and not just a marketing facade. Otherwise, why would all those nerds be so angry?
So microsoft takes some of the criticisms on twitter and gets them in before shipping. Free appsec, nice.
Now, microsoft doesnt care about your benchmarks, dude. Grandma isnt gonna notice these workloads finish faster on a different compiled program utilizing different chips. Her last PC was EOL'd 10 years ago, it certainly cant keep up with this new ai laptop.
i dont think anyone who is well versed in today's threats is saying to the company board members "i mean, really guys, this whole security/risk thing.. all smoke and mirrors... wasting our money on fun and games". BF as a consulting company is pretty fucking on point in my perspective, but if i were going to throw shade at a more broad swath such as the whole infosec industry from <insert stealth / yc funded AI based cyber startup> to <DARPA / Giant AntiVirus corp> I would probably diverge slightly with something more like 'there is so much snake oil, lack of proven and holistic solutions, freemium consumer products shamelessly bait and switch'ing everyday people who caught an infected flash installer online, etc, hiding amongst however many legitimate value propositions on offer that it's like ... when disaster does come, I'd reckon is more or less a coin toss as to whether our investment into CYBERHaxPreventor56000 will have delivered some portion of the price tag in returns to us. Seem like a fair response to your points?
None of those articles provide evidence and the last article mentions how difficult it would be to hide such activity on a smartphone due to power and data constraints. A smart TV has none of those issues.
So the "Hey siri"/"alexa"/"Ok Google", those features don't show your mic is recording, i dont think. Whether it's TVs or phones. all of the speech recognition and hands free control features are probably enough. there are masses of consumers that opt-in to these companies collecting data "to improve services" and other sketchy stuff. Honestly, I would think if you wanted to build a business around this it would be much better to go after the data collected behind EULAs that never got read than try to collect data from people who have all that shit turned off..
I promise you there are better ways to manipulate people in this situation. Like a keylogger. That way, your hypothetical LGBTQ child can't evade your monitoring by using an incogneto tab or simply pausing recall when they login.
steal their browser data. i haven't wiped my browser history in years, and that is just easy to search list of URLs dont need to be parsed out of some db blob (not something many anti-LGBTQ parents know how to / are going to do...). Steal their cookies and access their logged in social media accounts directly. Steal their saved passwords. Browse through the cached images and videos.
> Even then, we're still talking about a perfect surveillance engine
not even close. not going to beat this to a pulp but just to give you an idea, this does not scale well, not at all. are you going to look through 25 gb of photos? what if it's 90% cat pictures.
This is correct technically, but not correct in practice. Yes, keyloggers and stuff are comprehensive. But this ignores accessibility and ease of use aspect. Keylogger is a software which you need to know about, then acquire it without being infected yourself (e.g. know trusted warez sites etc.), and have to install on the victim PC in advance (so no retroactive spying is possible). I wouldn't know where to get keylogger (stealthy one) without some research, despite working in IT for decades. And likely you would rist get sued for that if ti was ever exposed, so a large part of the population not yet sociopathic will balk at installing illegal keylogger.
Now contrast that with a 100% legal and already preinstalled keylogger 2.0, which is not only logging keypresses but everything. And it is on every home and work PC in the world. Of course the number of people tempted to use it to spy on the strangers will be about a 1000 times bigger than amount of people installing keyloggers today. And it will not only replace premediated planned spying, similar to the keylogger. But it will also allow spontaneous spying on every random PC you can see. Like walking past unattended unlocked PC and voila - you can check all history without going back in time to install keylogger in advance.
The scale of the problem is the real problem. That's the point.
There's monitoring software marketed towards parents, which I think for most parents would meet your concerns (ease of use, risk of malware, legality).
If the parent has access to the computer, then they'll generally already have all documents, browser/application history, and chat logs.
> Now contrast that with a 100% legal and already preinstalled keylogger 2.0, which is not only logging keypresses
Windows Recall doesn't log keypresses, to my understanding.

I feel extracting browser passwords and all their documents would typically be more damaging.
Why would that be worse when you have screenshots of everything they saw, typed, uploaded and broadcast? Passwords give you an account - this gives you everything done with the account. And all documents that were viewed, plus where they came from. This is way beyond passwords.
> Passwords give you an account - this gives you everything done with the account.
Passwords give you control - not just view-only access. You could transfer over much of what they own (money, servers, games, projects, ...) to yourself, use their identity for phishing their friends/colleagues, etc.
Even just for viewing data, I think having all files and passwords can be a greater level of invasion:
* You don't just have screenshots of some files they happened to open recently on this device (which for some formats, like audio, is useless) - you have every file they have saved on this device, every file they have in online/cloud storage, and every file on work network shares they have access to
* You don't just have a screenshot of them typing a subset of recent emails and chat messages - you have their full emails and chatlogs going back years, and can likely make a data access request to get a significantly larger portion of "everything done with the account" than recent snapshots would give you
* You don't just have their location the couple of times recent snapshots show Google Maps open - you have full location history from their phone
would you enable it when interviewing candidates for your team. so when you go to complete your assessment you can go back to something they said or some code they wrote?
No, we do interview assessments later in the day, or first thing the day after, plus we don't do live coding during interviews.
Recall is just screenshots too; no audio. If we thought we needed to go back and scrutinize what someone said, we'd record the interview, but we don't.
i think you are wrong. they are trying to convince the average consumer that they need this new laptop with special hardware because they have exclusive magical features (read: OCR) like windows recall. theyre making it intentionally exclusive and locally computed specifically to brag about new capabilities.
And when this feature exists on all machines, and Microsoft has access to the codebase, you don't think other portions of the company will pitch a "+X revenue if we just used it for Y" re-use of the existing data?
Most of Google and Apple's recent user-hostile decisions can be traced directly back to too much potential revenue to refuse (ad tracking data, app store lock-in). Microsoft isn't immune to those same strategic marketing pressures.
Some data is too tempting to use for evil, that the only sane approach is to ensure there's no centralized manner to access it at scale.
