technically you can get a prescription for it but insurance won't cover it because there's "no evidence" it's helpful before 50. of course, it's never mentioned that the reason there's "no evidence" is that they didn't bother fucking testing it in anyone younger than 50 in the trials.

the irony is that it's possible only because Texas skipped implementing a lot of the anti-development, anti-construction environmental regulations from the 80s and 90s. so when oilfields dry up and landowners still want to print money, they realize "hey, I can just put turbines or panels on this...

despite the Trump administration doing its damnedest to make solar more expensive and coal cheaper.

as someone who works in biomedical research: GOD I hate this motherfucker.

completely agree. from an international competition perspective this is a massive footgun which gains no one anything other than culture war points. even the petroleum companies aren't particularly interested; they diversified into renewables years ago.

this is a speed bump, not the end of the road. we are also not the only big carbon polluter in the world; both India and China are electrifying their industries and building/transportation systems at breakneck speeds. China brings over 3GW of solar production online per day. take a breath, no...

the two things I built with Claude Code are an excellent example of where this breaks down. especially the second thing would have been an enormous cost compared to the couple hundred bucks I spent in tokens, with no idea what quality of development I was going to get or how good of a...

I used Claude Code both to add WebDAV sync support to a note-taking app for Boox tablets and to build a handwritten note manager that does fulltext transcription and then looks for highlighted regions and turns those into CalDAV to-dos in Nextcloud. accomplishing this myself would have taken...

every time I take one of these shots I'll think of you and how incredibly angry you are that I get to be a living example of how people like you have absolutely no fucking clue what they're talking about 🫶🏻

tirzepatide especially would have a good chance of directly helping your arthritis; these drugs are potent systemic antiinflammatories in addition to everything else. you shouldn't be thinking about them in terms of "temptation." they aren't like, opioids. they help shove several systems in the...

right. "stop?" you want me to be enthusiastic about STOPPING the drug that not only let me lose 50 lbs but fixed my high blood pressure and high cholesterol, in addition to a host of ADHD-related emotional regulation benefits that happen because of gut-brain neurological connections we're only...

meanwhile the Trump administration is actively trying to kill solar power with every lever it has to pull.

really poor accuracy that manifests in an inability to write small, tight curves like in "e" or "m" without slowing down a lot or making your letters uncomfortably large. the other devices like the Note Air5 C and Tab Ultra C Pro use EMR rather than USI, so they don't suffer this problem. (the...

part of the problem here is that you literally cannot buy a device of any quality that is like these devices where the manufacturer actually follows the GPL. they don't exist. reMarkable, Kindle Scribe (unacceptable for similar reasons anyway) and Kobo are really not comparable. Supernote does...

every e-ink manufacturer is like this except reMarkable. unfortunately, reMarkable is also largely garbage if you want to do anything other than writing with a pen. even its e-reader experience is extremely bad. that's definitely not going to happen. it's never happened with any other Boox...

they do this with the Palmas and I think it's because they expect people to end up trying to use them like smartphones, which entails a bit more need for compute. either way, it's a Snapdragon 750G in there; hardly a barn-burner. just good enough to do smartphone stuff.

"Arse Technica" was RIGHT there :cry:

SraCet finally getting banned for his persistent disinformation campaign is much, much more satisfying than I would have thought.

right. this is obviously a horrendous state of affairs. how do you protect yourself, individually? you lie and tell them you're a smoker. for you, the problem is solved.

RadPower is great for people who don't care about getting where they're going terribly quickly and want top-tier support from the manufacturer. that describes a LOT of people. not me, but I've been on Ars for a long time and am more than used to being an outlier when it comes to what I look for...
