Anybody who thinks that you can just chuck unstructured data into LLM and YOLO the app is an idiot. This works up to a point, and then it doesn't. And you're left with tons of inconsistently formatted data. My company is built on

Semaglutide was patented only in 2018. The previous medication was liraglutide. It behaved similarly but had a half-life of only a few hours. It required daily injections, and you could feel its effects wax and wane throughout the day.

I'm in the opposite camp. Most of the calculus foundation actually depends on continuity. And one thing that has changed recently: mobile phones and zooming. Every child now has an almost instinctive understanding of being able to find

I can address your arguments point-by-point, but think about this. I clearly demonstrated that it's NOT the "just build more" issue. There are more housing units per household than ever in the US (and in the Netherlands). So

I don't disagree. Sequences are important, and the bridge between sequences and functions (Bolzano–Weierstrass theorem, mean value theorem, etc.) is crucial. But they are not immediately needed to understand the limits. Try to see how

Eh. I think that the standard calculus approach is mostly fine, but just needs tweaking. The only major change that I'd like to make is the removal of sequences and all the associated theorems from the introductory calculus. Instead, s

They did. The Netherlands added more than 1 million new units between 2012 (8,425,398 units) and 2025 (9,486,933 units). Source: https://opendata.cbs.nl/#/CBS/en/dataset/81955ENG/table During that t

I'm planning to use a small LiPo battery with a JST connector. The whole footprint should be slightly larger than 3x4x1 cm. Still a bit too large for a pocket device, but perfect for a collar.

Pebble Time has the HR sensor, and it has activity monitoring. You can upload the data into Google Health or Apple's health tracker. So it should work? It's the same data, after all.
