What are people using in place of the cowork web/chrome integration? I find that to still be compelling reason to use Claude. Sometimes I have a menial task that involves a lot of web browsing/clicking/searching and it's

"With its own browser" I can't even begin to comprehend what kind of personal and PII data this thing will be scraping from its users. Caveat emptor!

This kind of thing just reeks as a meta marketing ploy. My eyes were opened when I started attending some marketing all-hands at my last FANG employer. They do this kind of thing all of the time.

I love the phone, but I really hate the "ethical" framing of device repairability. This is an engineering problem and we don't need to twist it through a moral framework. Phones that are repairable have superior engineering,

We know that at least Anthropic is renting inference from xAI but I think the other ones would be news.

I give the salmon a little more credit because the entire river can't be a beaver dam. That's their theory and I think will more research we're going to learn more about what's happening here.

The temperature is cooler? That can't possibly be the only reason to explain such a dramatic change in survival rates. We definitely need more research on this topic.

As long as tech companies make a stand against superficial culture war fights like this nobody will care that they've caved w.r.t privacy over the last two decades. Sad!

Windows and Mac each have well thought through and secure solutions to these problems. It just doesn't exist on Linux without serious sacrifice of UX.

So the solution is to make your computer basically unusable. I guess that's one way to secure things.

I haven't personally seen it on HN but it has been an issue at least since the beginning of tariffs, and there's significant rules in the original NAFTA agreement to try and curb it. So it's not new, and definitely predates t

Canada is very unfortunately caught in the trade war between the USA and China. It's pretty easy right now for certain goods to bypass the US tariffs by being transshipped through Canada and enter the USA without tariff because of mini

I can't speak for other people but I was upset to enter a medical era where bureaucrats were forcing medical decisions on me. I was forced to get it or lose my job despite 1) working remotely, 2) having already had Covid and 3) being h

A lot of us in tech have CVS Caremark as our pharmacy benefit manager and they will cover Zepbound (tirzepatide) for weight loss in the Fall. The problem is I'm too skinny now to get it!

Pill form is only available for regular GLP-1, not the double (tirzepatide) and triple agonist (retatrutide).

It's better value to me that someone is digitizing and training with books then they just languish somewhere in perpetuity.

I really don't think Anthropic has the leverage to pull this kind of thing off in the face of competition. OpenAI doesn't do it (yet), Grok doesn't do it, neither does Deepseek. I'm sure the latter two have plans to inte

Yes the medicine does it. It's attacking T2D via several pathways, but in the case of Reta the glucagon is doing the heavy lifting of clearing liver fat. This extra receptor is why Reta is a triple agonist unlike semaglutide (single gl

That's a common and very acceptable concern and there's not great answers for it. Mostly a place will do multi-vail testing for purity, sterility, endotoxin and heavy metals. The idea is that the sample is sufficient to show safet

Retatrutide has a specific mechanism for clearing liver fat (glucagon) which makes it one of the most effective ways to treat T2D. This is the 3rd agonist not found in semaglutide or tirzepatide.

If you're overweight or especially if you're T2D I highly encourage you to discuss GLP-1 with your doctor. If you're T2D then get research retatrutide which looks to be an actual cure for T2D by clearing liver fat. It should
