Emergency help for low blood sugar

technologyreview.com Anne Trafton 2025-10-30 01:00:00

Most people with type 1 diabetes inject insulin to prevent their blood sugar levels from getting too high. However, if their blood sugar gets too low, it can lead to confusion, seizures, and even death. To combat this hypoglycemia, some patients carry syringes of glucagon, a hormone that stimulates release of glucose. Now MIT engineers have developed an alternative that could work even when people don’t realize they are becoming hypoglycemic. It could also help during sleep, or for children who

Tech’s Heavy Hitters Are Spending Big to Ensure a Pro-AI Congress

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-10-31 13:45:57

Much of the American public is dubious to neutral when it comes to artificial intelligence. A recent poll found that 71 percent of Americans were concerned about the technology “permanently” displacing human workers. Since we ostensibly live in a democracy, you’d think that would be bad news for the AI industry; unfortunately, many of the folks who are central to our economy are all-in.

Prediction-Encoded Pixels This format is specifically designed to be for low-color pixel art (<=16 colors works best, up to 256 colors is supported). It uses "Prediction by Partial Matching, Order-2" compression, which is able to compress packed-palette-indices smaller than GIF, PNG, and QOI, while sacrificing a bit of time. It's 2-10x slower than GIF/PNG/QOI (depending on the image), but often compresses the image 20-50% smaller than GIF/PNG (and multiple-times smaller than QOI). If you care

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel Recorder app has received a visual overhaul in line with Google’s Material 3 Expressive style. Expect changes like a larger play button, more prominent toggles, and larger waveforms. The app also takes a step back by moving some useful shortcut icons into the three-dot menu. The Recorder app is one of my favorite Pixel phone features, owing to its on-device transcriptions, cloud backup functionality, and web-based access. Over the years, the
