I've been running a personal GBrain on a local server (company team GBrain runs on Render).

Personal runs a bunch of python scripts for local ingestion and maintenance. I wanted cleared visibility into the background processes so I had Codex create a menu bar app.

This is the second menu bar app I've built. The other one syncs iMessage metadata to my personal crm (Render) to help with reminding me to check-in with people.

The worst back injury of my training career was at the peak of my Hyrox Pro training era, I’d probably deadlifted 420 that week,

I was walking into the gym, turned slightly to the right to say hi to someone and couldn’t walk for three days.

This morning I connected a wall drop to connect my new server cabinet. Cost me $30 with new tools.

The last time I had a low voltage guy out he was so stoned be connected the wrong port and charged me $160 for the privilege.

Guy rules mean I got to get new tools so win win.

A POTATO IS NOT A HEALTH FOOD

WebMD says potatoes, popcorn, peanut butter and dark chocolate are "treats" that aren't unhealthy.

A 100-gram baked russet potato, skin and all, has 21.4 grams of carbs and only 2.3 grams of fiber. That's starch your body turns directly into blood sugar, which spikes your insulin. It also has just 2.6 grams of protein.

If you've got insulin resistance, pre-diabetes or a big belly, the potato is not your friend. Eat meat and eggs and skip the treats.

You can tell Codex to turn this into an AppleTV app with location access, pair Xcode to your AppleTV and you're back in the 90s.

I think to be someone who can be loved…truly. You have to know who you are. Be someone who can sit with yourself.

If you can sit with yourself you can maybe be whole and true to someone else. Know what you want to give. And what you need. And find contentment in that.

If you aren't content with yourself how can you truly be content in an us.

Sometimes who you are…before now…isn't any of that. You need to do the work to patch the parts of you that never got built.

And sometimes, often, you need to be truly pushed to the brink to want to do that.

This is my meat freezer in Montana.

It was made in the 80s. It will likely never die. It cannot be hacked.

The cheap sensor I placed in it bluetooths to Home Assistant to alert me if it gets warm.

We do not need connected appliances.
🚨 BREAKING: Hackers are hitting supermarket freezers in 5 countries at the same time.

This is what Covid looked like in week 1. A few countries. Small numbers. Nobody called it a crisis.

1/ Sweden: stores say hackers hit their cooling overnight. One says fridges and freezers he food spoiled. ICA Kvantum stores in Sjöbo and Tomelilla were hit, plus at least 6 Coop stores. Sjöbo stayed closed through the morning, threw out all affected goods and apologized. ICA says it is working to restore normal operations. In Sankt Olof a store manager said "everything is ruined." Sweden's National Cybersecurity Centre is working on several incidents.

2/ Estonia: the CEO of cooling firm Kitman Coldtech says several clients were targeted and a large chain's freezer was raised to +50°C. It was found and addressed in about 10 minutes, no major damage.

3/ Ireland: SuperValu pulled ALL fresh and frozen food from 13 stores. Its owner, Musgrave, confirmed a "cybersecurity incident" on a "specific model" of fridge.

4/ Luxembourg: Ahold Delhaize says an "IT incident" hit fridges and freezers at dozens of its supermarkets across Luxembourg and Belgium.

5/ Belgium: more than 40 Delhaize, at least 15 Carrefour and around 5 Spar stores were hit. Cold storage climbed to 15°C. Aisles were closed off and large amounts of stock were destroyed. A notice at one Proxy Delhaize said its systems had "fallen victim to hacking."

Now zoom out.

A freezer normally sits at -18°C. In Estonia, hackers reportedly got in through older controllers. In France, the controller maker said many devices were obsolete or ran outdated firmware. Raise the temperature overnight and the food rots. "You can't unspoil food," one professor said.

It did not start today. 3 weeks ago hackers raised freezers at more than 350 sites in France to as high as 50°C. There were fires. Intermarché's CEO put the cost at "tens of millions of euros nationwide in a single day." Sources suspect Russian involvement there. No group has claimed it. That same day an analyst said Spain, Portugal, Poland, Germany and Belgium were affected too.

Covid emptied the shelves. Nobody is calling this a crisis yet. But the Financial Times already puts the ruined food at millions of euros.

Officials say the Pentagon is treating late-August freezer failures on US military bases as a suspected hack. At least 6 base stores were hit. Army investigators are working with French law enforcement.

5 countries in one day. 11 countries named since August.

Share this. Everyone should know about it.

codex's ability to directly navigate the otherwise impossible google cloud console is, perhaps, it's greatest underappreciated feature.

Mark Ruffalo, I’m in SAG-AFTRA just like you. Our union dues are capped at the first $1 million in covered earnings. That means high earners like yourself don’t pay work dues on earnings above that amount.

Why not voluntarily contribute more to help fellow actors who are struggling to afford healthcare and make ends meet?

You’re criticizing Elon Musk over wealth, taxes and accountability. Maybe start by looking at the system you benefit from. Sound familiar?
Elon, you goofy. 🤪Crashing out, because you don’t want to pay taxes. Don’t want some oversight into all the government money and contracts you made off with. Don’t want anyone looking into exactly what the F you did with DOGE.  And whining about loosing an election. 🤪That’s part of democracy, bro. Welcome to America. This isn’t some South Africa back in the day 💩. You will get use to it. Sometimes you lose. Believe me. That’s what politics is. Oh. And. Watch the Elon Musk doc. It’s wild.

The only explanation I can think of is that most people eat mostly restaurant food, which always underweights protein portions vs what a meal should be.

I eat 190-210g per day with no powders and it's never hard. I make most of my own food, pack it with me when I'm not home.
Hitting protein every single day is an endless torture. How do gym goers even do this for years without losing their mind? Does anyone actually have a real hack for this or do you just skip some days?

KFC & Pizza Hut (Yum China) is the largest restaurant company in mainland China by store count and revenue.

> 40% of population is actively in the KFC and Pizza Hut loyalty program.

90% of Yum China's sales is delivery

70% of KFCs are a within a 10 min bike of another KFC.

Side benefit of Dwarkesh's Caro interview will be a bunch of newly wealthy Austin tech bros will read the first LBJ bio and realize why no one outside of Austin considers the Hill Country a place one would build a "ranch."

this reminds me of the carhartt store in the flatiron where you can buy something for $200 that you can buy at the kalispell tractor supply for $40.
When my friend said the gourmet McDonald’s experience was in Williamsburg I thought he was joking because it was too on the nose. It was in Williamsburg. Best nuggets I’ve ever had though
