How little guidance can you give Claude Code to a) find and b) fix this memory leak? Summoning @simonw

Was it Steve Yegge who introduced "but is it good? [yes]"? I can't find the first instance of this.

HPV is also responsible for very unsightly genital warts. I'd think people would want to avoid that if possible.

Be sure to not take strengthlevel.com too seriously.


The skill set required to reach leadership positions does not necessarily match the skill set of a good leader.


Very commendable approach!

Are you using Movesense as the chest movement sensor per chance? I've been looking into breathing rate lately, but haven't made the jump just yet.


Thank you! We've integrated a different chip for measuring chest movements


Amazon.de customer service has consistently been much better than anything else in Germany, so it's probably not the law.


It's "loss leader", selling under the price to make your competitors go bankrupt, then use monopoly power.

It's illegal under German law, EU law, and I'm sure it's also explicitly called out as illegal in at least 5 trade treaties Germany signed.

Needless to say, like everything in the EU, it's only enforced against local companies, in this case German ones.


Or, it's easier for Amazon to have a consistent customer experience everywhere in the world. But that would make too much sense?


Yep, I'm sure it's the brilliance of Amazon and not the same old trick of creating a monopoly then exploiting it that people have been using since the early middle ages and regularly outlawed because it destroys economies.

Say ... what was Amazon's initial reason for success? Being cheaper by exploiting the interstate commerce clause to avoid paying sales tax when it's competitors weren't allowed to do so? You don't say. Amazon is famous for losing money on their delivery business (up until recently)? It's constantly repeated in 10+ years of their financial statements ...

So either Amazon has completely changed tactics and become truly brilliant and we still don't understand the plan ... or they're up to their old tricks, being slightly cheaper, now with less legality!

How does this manifest?


This moderate amount of UV is enough to accelerate skin aging which is why we wear sunscreen.


The topic was melanoma incidence, not skin aging.

But even for skin aging things aren't that simple, though sunscreen companies would love you to think that. UV light is a treatment for psoriasis, eczema, and many other skin conditions.

And vitamin D improves symptoms/reduces incidence of "hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, obesity, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, autism, schizophrenia, asthma, preterm birth, maternal mortality, myopia and COVID-19" (a lot of these are aging related).

Most studies on UV light/vitamin D supplementation have been done in mice, which are nocturnal and don't get the same benefits as us from sunlight. Here's a recent article in pigs:

UV light exposure versus vitamin D supplementation: A comparison of health benefits and vitamin D metabolism in a pig model

Here's a helpful review of the topic:

Are Vitamin D Supplements an Adequate Substitute for Sun Exposure?

https://esmed.org/MRA/mra/article/view/3635

  In this paper we review the current state of the science on this subject and conclude that vitamin D supplements are not an adequate substitute for sun exposure for attenuation of most of these diseases and adverse health effects, particularly hypertension and cardiovascular disease, and should not be recommended in lieu of sun exposure to patients presenting with low levels of serum 25(OH)D. Vitamin D supplementation for such patients could even be harmful, because it will raise patients’ serum 25(OH)D levels, thereby giving patients a false sense of security and obscuring the best available metric for insufficient sun exposure.
