Arc may still be around, but it’s pretty clear where the future is being built. And while we’re hoping more of Arc’s magic finds its way into Dia, one thing we couldn’t wait for was single-window profile switching. So we made Diarc: a small way to bring back a workflow we weren’t ready to lose.

Machado genuinely cares about dethroning the Venezuelan regime to give way to a more democratic administration. She'll go to any lengths to support that transition, including stroking Trump's massive ego.

how does showing that someone use a VPN "out" them or compromise their privacy. Another biased Vice piece.

A piece with no sources by McCullough. How unexpected.

It's the same on Android.

WeChat. And let me explain why. I'll stick with technology and usability and leave politics aside.

They've integrated literally everything with wc. Going to an event? Amusement park? Metro ride? Flight? Restaurant booking? The hospital? You guessed it. WeChat. Every place has a QR code (they've also have a custom QR code format they support) and any business/individual can set up to receive payments, reservations, form data, or literally anything else that can be built as a web app. There's no secret sauce to how it's done; WeChat allows you to "install" web based apps inside wechat and integrates your profile and payment abilities with it.

If you want to set up a point-of-sale device to receive payments here you have to get something like Square, and set up an account, and you often need special equipment, etc. Not a great UX. With WeChat, everybody already has their payment profile linked up, so you just show your QR code, people pay, you get notified, and you're all set.

It's not the best built app, though. It's glitchy, and the web-based stuff is slow. The Chinese are great at many things, but UI design/UX isn't one of them haha. It seems to work, though, and I can only imagine the gargantuan amount of payment events their infra handles. Probably many millions per second.

That's good, but at ~7nm production it is still a bit away from what ASML can do already. ASML's High-NA EUV technology is capable of pushing semiconductor manufacturing below 2nm, potentially reaching 1.4nm or even 1.0nm in the future. Their current low-NA EUV machines (like the NXE:3600D and NXE:3800E) are used for 3nm and 5nm production.

Using Grok would have been more in-line with this theme.

Remember the “SSL added and removed here” thing? That’s basically CloudFlare hahaha

bingo.. reads like a non-story. Not too different from any other public wifi, really.

It's not just my IP.. There's a whole lot of HTML barf around it.

Those are some interesting pieces. It'd be fun to create a game where players need to guess between "Art Installation or Random Pile of Trash"

No reasonable citizen anywhere in the world wants WW3. It's irresponsible to talk about this like it's some sport.

Kudos on the unbiased reporting. /s

It's misguided that this became known as "the potato diet". If I recall correctly, this became a thing when magician Penn Jillette (from Penn & Teller) lost a significant amount of weight under the guidance of Ray Cronise.

The concept was to choose a single-ingredient, natural, plain and boring food to eat for a few days in order to "reset" your expectations for flavour and to flatten your taste/food reward centers. Penn happened to choose potatoes, but that's not relevant. It could have been any other plain and boring food. In fact, the main goal is the re-leveling effect. Weight loss during the 24 was only a side effect of caloric restriction.

Owning an EV without the ability to charge at home is a pain in the ass. A lot of multi-family infrastructure has to evolve before that becomes a reality.

Being able to charge at home, though, is far more convenient and cost effective than visiting the pump every few days. Full "tank" every morning.

While far from perfect in its current state, adding context and corrections via community notes to posts with incorrect information seems better than deleting them outright.

the issue is that these return a bunch of html so using them from the command line is not ideal.

I made wgetip.com back in 2008 to solve this. icanhaz must've been pretty suboptimal back then to have issues with traffic. wgetip still gets about 3M requests per hour. All from a single $5 droplet.

check out @levelsio on Twitter. Pretty decent MRR with a few AI apps.

A group I'm working with has found that using the OpenAI models through Azure can result in faster response times, but I don't have tangible data to share right now.

This leaves us with more questions than answers. It compiled data from multiple studies, following the rigorous Cochrane review methodology. The results? A mixed bag. Some small studies hinted at potential benefits of NSSs on BMI and fasting blood glucose in adults, but the evidence was of very low to low certainty. It seems that lower doses of NSSs might be associated with less weight gain than higher doses. Interestingly, for kids, NSS intake compared to sugar resulted in a smaller increase in BMI z-score, according to moderate certainty evidence. However, for most other health outcomes, there were no significant differences detected between NSS users and non-users. A major caveat is that many of the included studies had few participants, were short-term, and had methodological limitations. So I'd say this is far from definitive.

Got sweetened by big Sugar.. :|

Lol.. buy 'em a new laptop and a new desk. That'll keep them from leaving for a $30k/y pay hike. Right. Nice shortcut. Quality of life matters more. Better pay leads to better quality of life. But if the salaries are already competitive, I'd say investing in company culture is even more valuable than investing on better computers.

Limiting what people can choose to study seems like an odd move for someone who claims to be a proponent of freedom.

Because maybe the CCP elite wouldn't be able to buy property themselves. These restrictions are pretty ineffective anyway. There are similar regulations in Canada, and what we're seeing is that local realtors (who are residents/citizens) will buy the property on their behalf. This is also illegal, but much harder to regulate.

blast from the past! good times.

I identify as a Software Engineer. My pronouns are gcc/py.

Even if current power generation for the grid isn't optimal (or clean), the move to EVs is the only way to allow for a cleaner system to work at all. That just isn't possible with ICE cars.

Pretty terrible model. The responses almost seem random.
