> No diabetic with baseline adult competence is going to drive their insulin-delivery vehicle off a cliff because some app said so.
if you can't trust this thing then what is it doing? the implication that people that trust this software do not have adult competency is also confusing.
> Is your perspective based on, say, opinionated principle?, or experience?
your perspective is solely based on recent trauma so I don't know if it is more reliable in any
capacity
Don't do as I say. I'm just a rando from the Internet.
Don't do as the author of the posted software does. Don't do what the software tells you either. But the software can certainly build an informative perspective and suggest patterns and movements in an exquisitely complex disease. Managing T1D with a pump is exhausting.
Second, re. "your perspective is solely based on recent trauma so I don't know if it is more reliable in any capacity"
This kind of statement is far beyond anything bounded by the self-respect of a balanced adult. What the fuck, and who are you?
My ex-fiancée almost died in 2020. We lost an unborn child in IVF due to grave neglect on behalf of healthcare who missed the glaringly obvious Type 1 diabetes she had; They never once checked her blood sugar. You know what I did? I read the literature. I read medicine, I read molecular biology, I read neuroimmunobiology, I read about the placenta and fetal development.
I stood by my fiancée and carried her by hand back to health. She recovered faster than the endocrinologists expected. Her pregnancy was exemplary, fullly intact placental vitals out to 38.5 weeks. Healthcare is in such a bad state that I was forced to interject and argue coolly and adamantly with doctors on several occasions about potentially severe mistakes they were about to make. EVERY SINGLE TIME when I interceded, it was confirmed correct by a second opinion from a senior doctor.
I don't come here speaking from trauma. I come here speaking from grim and serious and confirmed lived experience of stepping in and caring, without any margin for error. Know how you do that? With extreme humility and the utmost care.
Who are you to speak to me like that; I can tell that you know not at all who I am or what I have been tasked with in this life, because then you would not. talk. to me. this way. Okay?
HN is the most concentrated accelerationist audience in the whole world and its very particular type of crowd. I don't think this translates at all to general public (well, maybe I would agree with you that the aesthetic sense of people on here is really less sophisticated than average).
you're arguing against things that have no material effect. "oh won't you think about adversarial discourse about the most well funded industry in recent history"
> China arbitrarily traps people in China without any such thing or any due process whatsoever.
What makes you think there's no legal process for blocking nationals from leaving China?It's a very common instrument and in a bunch of countries it's an administrative measure with even less scrutinity than a judicial mandate. Do you consider France or the UK to be a countries without rule of law or due process?
But to the point in the US, for example, the government can just issue a warrant for you as a material witness or flag your passport and then you can't leave; these are hardly due processes and more like legal workarounds to do exactly the same thing; the US has disappeared plenty of people in much more sinister ways than that, however, so I agree that there's no equivalence here: the US is worse.
America is not exactly a shining moral example for the world, particularly these days, but these Chinese apologist takes can be a bit baffling to read at times.
It mostly doesn't make any sense and seems to be motivated by some kind of animus or bigotry. But maybe understandable given the current administration's behavior.
Oh no the great war crime of _getting called a warmonger_ for bombing children in schools and invading other countries...
Your grievances with how you perceive other people opinion of the US are irrelevant when confronted with the warmorgering reality of american foreign policy, no matter how offended you feel on behalf of your favorite military industrial complex.
