In aviation all code and doc are available to inspectors when a catastrophic failure or near miss happens.

It's not the case for other industries, and in particular car industry is able to hide about everything software related from inspectors.

New comment by guerby in "FDA authorizes first wearable device that monitors ketone and blood sugar levels"

guerby — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 14:59:38 +0000

Interesting device for those using diet to induce ketosis for diabete or mental illness care.

One great thing about the keto diet is that it is the only diet where you can be sure you follow it correctly ... by measuring your ketone levels.

And for glucose since different people will react very differently to various forms of carbohydrate (and associated foods) a CGM is always a must. (1)

The article talks about above 10 hours run time, is that "high intensity endurance" or something different in the context?

(Curious)

Tim Noakes is cited in the article for his 1987 book "The Lore of Running", I wonder if people following its 2021 "Real Meal Revolution" about keto would be subject to the very same OTS or not in the long run.

Do you have a reference for the leaks? I read leaks were underestimated but I didn't find recent studies about it.

Thanks!

Isn't diabete and metabolic syndrome way more predictive than ldl or apob?

Do you have a reference comparing the various factors?

In French

If there is only knowing the norm that makes you able to follow the law that refers it then it's a "obligatory norm" and must be readable without cost.

Interesting, could you cite one such law and norm?

New comment by guerby in "SMPTE Makes Its Standards Freely Accessible"

guerby — Sun, 21 Jun 2026 05:57:27 +0000

In France if a standard is mandated by law (like electrical home wiring) then it must be freely available.

I assume most democracies have similar laws, it's a basic right to know what laws you should follow ...
