For those that don’t know if this is good or not: Depending on the institution, above around 5.6% is abnormally high but not diagnosis threshold for diabetes. 6.5% is diagnosis threshold. Goal for a diabetic, once diagnosed, is to be below 7%. So having 6.3% means I’m achieving goal.

I decided to compare one of those store bought A1c take home tests (ReliOn brand in this case) with a lab A1c test. After my lab blood draws, I came home and used the tester.
ReliOn: 6.5%
Lab: 6.3%So they are reasonably accurate.
But with a CGM, my GMI was also 6.5%, so not really a good point to using a take home A1c test if you have a CGM.

My 24 hour GMI is 5.7. I’ve probably not had an HbA1c below 6.0% since I was a kid. I don’t think I can sustain what granted me this day, it’s probably a fluke. But my recent trends should show an HbA1c between 6.0% and 6.5%.

I hate that some blood glucose tracking apps will report an estimated A1c as anything called A1c, even estimated. Many apps and tools transitioned to calling this Glucose Management Indicator, or GMI, in order to get away from the confusion of why a measured A1c is different from an estimated A1c.
mySugr appears to be changing their app. Which is a great step, especially for an app designed for logging finger sticks, not CGM data. In fact, they're not even going to call it GMI, apparently. Rather, Diabetic Management Indicator (DMI) because their math and estimates will be way different from a CGM based estimate.
This really needs to be done on all similar apps. There's always inevitably someone asking in one of the communities why their A1c is different between the doctor's office and their app.
To those that may not realize: HbA1c is a measurement of glycated hemoglobin, and the blood panel test will directly test this. GMI, on the other hand, is an estimated A1c based on blood glucose trends through some form of measurement, typically CGM, and depends on the accuracy of the measurement.

Professor Geoffrey Hinton,
-- a pioneer of AI & "Father of Deep Neural Networks"
told BBC Newsnight that
⭐️a benefits reform giving fixed amounts of cash to every citizen will be needed ⭐️He is “very worried about AI taking lots of mundane jobs”.
He said while he felt AI would increase productivity and wealth,
💥the money would go to the rich
“and not the people whose jobs get lost 💥and that’s going to be very bad for society”. -
#TIL that an employer doesn't have to pay workers while they're on jury service, and the state only pays a daily lump sum for expenses that wouldn't cover 2 hours on Living Wage.
Yet another good argument for guaranteed minimum income, paid automatically, no need to apply (instead you can apply to opt out).

#idw Globaler #Militarisierungsindex 2022
Alljährlich reflektiert der Globale Militarisierungsindex (#GMI) des #BICC (Bonn International Centre for Conflict Studies) auf Basis der aktuellsten vorliegenden Zahlen Militarisierungs- und Demilitarisierungstendenzen. Im regionalen Fokus stehen 2022 die #NATO-Erweiterung und das 100-Milliarden-Sondervermögen der #Bundeswehr sowie die #Aufrüstung in #Ozeanien und #Ostasien.

@bsmall2
I certainly support UBI as a policy. It has great potential to simplify and destigmatize benefits, by treating them as 'reverse taxation'. Guaranteeing minimum incomes seems likely to reduce the demands on social services too, which could reduce the funding needed for those and help pay for the UBI. -
Okay, that's enough progress for today on the rewrite of my #AsciiDoc to #GemText conversion pipeline.
Added a pre-processor that allows me to add
,gemini=hiddento links I don't want to show up in the gmi document, and,gemini=extend-to-eolfor links I want to extend to the end of the line.I don't expect others to find this useful, but so far it looks like it will help reduce link clutter in #gemini documents, without having to handcraft a #gmi version of the same blog post.

@kelbot I'm probably better off using the #AsciiDocs as basis, and manually convert it to a #gmi file for the couple of posts I'd feel like sharing via #Gemini.
Oh well, for now I'll turn off the gemini server again till I have something I'm satisfied with. :)

@dsfgs I'm all for #UBI/ #GMI. I'm fortunate to have grown up in a relatively wealthy country with an unusually low population, and the remains of a welfare state. So I was able to spend about 20 years living off a variety of public benefits, while doing fulltime #PublicInterest work. Which was kind of like having a UBI, except for the ongoing threat of surveillance and harassment from the Ministry of Social Dispossession.
