  • New research shows weight loss is possible without GLP-1

  • I'd be curious if there might also be a cultural aspect at play.

    Apparently in America, their portions tend to be quite large, since the expectation is to get as much for your money as possible. Anything you can't stomach can then be taken home to finish another day.

    Whereas many other places don't tend to do that. Food served in the restaurant is to be eaten there, and wanting a take-away container to take your meal home means paying extra for the container.

  • They're used for some trains now, though I think that a lot of them have since switched to rheostat or regenerative braking instead.

    The First Modern Car Without Hydraulic Brakes Is Headed to Production

    Jump

  • Slightly odd choice to use a motor instead of an eddy current brake or some such, when it's supposed to be a drop-in replacement for existing braking systems.

    Is it supposed to be a quick hybrid conversion system rather than just a brake?

    EDIT: I'm not sure if it is. The article makes it unclear, but going by the manufacturer's site, the electric motors are meant to replace the piston on the caliper, rather than using the motor itself as a brake.

    It's still a mostly conventional braking system.

  • We had a rather nice thing going with pure HTML. Sure, it wasn't the prettiest thing, even with CSS, but almost every device could run and display it in its own way.

    You didn't need a custom thing, or a bunch of extra code adjusting the webpage for each type of device that opened the web page, since that job was all done by the browser.

    Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane.

  • That's basically model routing, and has existed a while. Open AI's GPT-5 and llama-swap do that, for example. If the task is simple, it uses a smaller, less intensive model, and only uses the slower, larger one of the task is more complex.

    Though most tend to operate with models on the same device/service, rather than a model run elsewhere.

    Freddie Mercury would find it difficult to maintain an active social nedia presence to prove he's human, being rather indisposed at the present.

  • The AI Termination Ban: Why Chinese Courts Just Made It Illegal to Replace Workers with Robots

    Jump

  • This doesn't seem like a totalitarianism issue, though. The High or Supreme courts (other courts are available) could rule that replacement with AI is not a valid reason for termination of employment, and the result would be much the same.

  • Discomfort with modern technology shapes Gen Z's desire to live in the past

    Jump

  • Is this anything new at all?

    Even back in the day, you had people wanting to live in the recent past, because the past usually gets romanticised.

    So people in the 1960s might have a rosy view of the turn of the century, and want to go back to the 1930 days of art deco and balls, or those today, that might want to return what they believe to be glory days of 1960. Even if it isn't actually realistic to how you might live in the past. The average citizen in 1930 was not attending balls at a swanky music lounge.

    Give it a few decades, we might also have people from 2050 pining for the 2020s, believing it to be just like the advertisements, where we all live in the penthouse level of skyscrapers, overlooking a vast cityscape.

  • How do I drink more water?

    Jump

  • Tap water? If so, try filtered water, get a good, credible filter and filter the water. Depending on where you live there's a fair amount of materials in the water that make it unpleasant.

    In a pinch, boiling it, and letting it cool back down also helps some, if they can't afford a filter.
