”a pair of lightweight AR glasses powered by a multimodal AI assistant called Noa…
In addition to voice commands, Noa is capable of visual processing, image generation and translation, thanks to the handful of AI models it has integrated: conversational search engine Perplexity AI; Stability AI’s text-to-image model Stable Diffusion; OpenAI’s latest text-generation model GPT4; and the speech recognition system Whisper

”Russia’s war is not about NATO, or borders, or the balance of power. The Russian dictator Vladimir Putin intends to absorb Ukraine into a new Russian empire, and he will eradicate the Ukrainians if they refuse to accept his rule.
Europe is in the midst of the largest war on the continent since Nazi panzers rolled from Norway to Greece, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine is by far the most important threat to world peace since the worst days of the Cold War”

”The FDF will also conduct logistics exercises and activate so-called production reserve agreements with civilian companies that keep extra capacity in place for the defense forces’ needs in crisis and war — akin to a war economy lite. In this pre-conflict period, sufficient availability and production capacity of everything from food supplies to machinery is tested with sustained warfighting in mind, as seen in Ukraine.”

The lesson here is that core privacy products you use should be only true open-source or this happens?
”As we begin to shift focus to our shared efforts with Notion, we will be closing down Skiff's product suite after a 6-month sunset period”
Guess what happens to the world’s chip production capability when Russia attacks the EU?
”ASML is the only maker of a key technology - extreme ultraviolet (EUV) photolithography - needed to manufacture the most advanced chips…
Koch's own calculations suggested it would only become cost effective to switch over from the older technology around 2030-2031….
"This means ASML is likely to have excess High-NA capacity between their factory ramp in 2027-28 and full adoption in leading-edge logic a few years later," he added.”

”It's going to take years for Europe to build up the arms and ammunition production capacity needed to both aid Ukraine and reequip national forces, Belgium's former deputy chief of defense said.
“It’s not a joke, we’re in deep shit,"
The industrial fabric in Europe isn’t strong enough to support Ukraine."

"Do you think that if Russia establishes a puppet regime in Ukraine, like the one they have in Belarus, and Russian troops are on the Polish border, will we get out of trouble, or will we have bigger problems?" Borrell asked.

”Other platforms only make RSS feeds available for listeners, whereas YouTube takes episodes from an RSS feed and turns them into YouTube videos.
This benefits audio-first podcasters since YouTube automatically takes an uploaded RSS feed and creates videos with the podcast’s show art as a static image”

”Gemini Advanced is clearly a GPT-4 class model. The statistics show this, but so does a month of our informal testing. And this is a big deal …
…it is roughly equivalent, though it has its own strengths and weaknesses. GPT-4 is much more sophisticated about using code and accomplishes a number of hard verbal tasks better - it writes a better sestina and passes the Apple Test. Gemini is better at explanations and does great job integrating images and search”

”Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) have been demoted from standalone apps that use the whole screen to shortcuts that open within the default browser…
This appears to solely affect users in the European Union, though your mileage may vary.
…the breakage of PWAs is deliberate. The Register understands Apple's change will cause users to lose local data in existing web apps, because web apps and Safari have different storage locations, and it will also break notifications, because there's no way to enable notifications without app installation.”
It’s not just Russians but Carlson et at. Russia is one of the best it manipulation. They have centuries of practise. Lots of useful idiots: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot
Every country has their compromised MPs, politiicans, influencers, academics etc. Some very visible and evident like Schroder but it’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Most of the Western media repeats Kremlin propaganda as news.

Nostur is the best all-around reliablity and feature wise. It has UX inconsistencies and a lot of features that add complexity and not always working as expected.
A huge achievement for a one-dev app 🤙
PS. I wrote this already once with Damus but for some reason only two of my relays show online. Not sure why. It just eats my notes (no notice that they are not sent). Happened for a few days and for a few notes (I haven’t changed settings).
