Intermittent fasting strategies and their effects on body weight

This meta-analysis concurrently and comprehensively evaluates the association of intermittent fasting, CER, and ad-libitum diets on cardiometabolic risk factors. Our findings showed a trivial to small reduction in body weight for all diet strategies compared with ad-libitum, and trivial reductions for ADF compared with CER, TRE, and WDF. These associations, however, were only significant among comparisons with ad-libitum diet in moderate-to-long term follow-up durations of at least 24 weeks. ADF

Best Home Security Cameras With Lights for 2025: Light up the Dark

Does the camera have the ability to identify humans from animals and ignore vehicles? Do these features cost extra? Do you need a wired or wireless model? Are you will to manage battery charging for a wireless model? Do you have a junction box or nearby outlet for a wired cam? Does the camera have a higher resolution to capture more details? Does it have a wide enough field of vi

Debugging a mysterious HTTP streaming issue

The Problem We recently encountered a frustrating issue with HTTP response streaming at Mintlify. Our system uses the AI SDK with the Node stream API to forward streams, and suddenly things stopped working properly. The symptoms were confusing: streaming worked perfectly with cURL and Postman, but failed completely with node-fetch and browser fetch. ‍ Initial Investigation Our first hypothesis centered around stream compatibility issues. We suspected the problem might be related to how the AI

Toymaker suddenly drops lawsuit against “Sylvanian Drama” TikToker

A toy company has voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit against a popular TikTok and Instagram account called "Sylvanian Drama." Epoch Company Ltd., is the US maker of adorable fuzzy dolls called Calico Critters. Those dolls are known as "Sylvanian Families" in other markets, and more recently, they became a viral sensation after an Ireland-based content creator, Thea Von Engelbrechten, started making funny videos in which the dolls acted out dark, cringey adult storylines. Claiming that the "Sylv

Ford switches gears, will push smaller EVs over full-size pickup and van

The Ford Motor Company is adjusting its electric vehicle strategy. The automaker will prioritize smaller and more affordable EVs ahead of the replacement for the F-150 Lightning fullsize pickup truck and e-Transit van. The Lightning replacement, codenamed T3, should now appear later in 2027, with the van a year behind. Here in 2025, EV adoption isn't exactly going the way everyone thought—or rather hoped—it would. The hype surrounding EVs worked fast, and the glinting dollar signs in people's e

The Creator of Ozempic Is in Terrible Trouble

Image by Mads Claus Rasmussen / Ritzau Scanpix / AFP via Getty / Futurism Developments While its customer are shedding pounds, Novo Nordisk, creator of the mega-hit drug Ozempic, is shedding loads of market value amid collapsing sales. One year ago, the Danish pharmaceutical giant's market cap exceeded the size of its entire home country's economy. But this week, it's continued its steady but drastic decline — which saw its CEO get the axe — by losing nearly $100 billion in value after slashin

Ditching GitHub

This is going to be some sort of a public service announcement, with side notes. This has been brewing for a long, long time (years), it’s just that I never seemed to have the focus time required to solve this once and for all. But now I decided to get moving, and it is already ongoing. If you are among those few with an interest in code I publish, do read on. What? I am moving all of my public source code repositories off of GitHub. My ambition is to completely end my own usage of GitHub, in

Astronomers Discover the Earliest Black Hole Ever Confirmed

An international team of astronomers has identified the earliest black hole ever confirmed, an ancient behemoth that existed just 500 million years after the Big Bang. The discovery could offer new clues to a mysterious class of ancient galaxies that confounded prevailing theories of cosmology. In a new paper published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the researchers describe CAPERS-LRD-z9—a distant, gas-enshrouded galaxy with a supermassive black hole at its center. It dates back some 13.

Outdated Software, Nationwide Chaos: United Grounds Flights After Meltdown

United Airlines passengers across the country found themselves stranded, confused, and angry on Wednesday as a massive technology failure triggered a nationwide grounding of flights. The culprit: Unimatic, a decades-old internal system so vital to United’s operations that when it failed, the airline had no choice but to bring the entire operation to a standstill. From major hubs in Chicago, Newark, Denver, Houston, to San Francisco, the outage rippled through the airline’s scheduling, flight

Infinite Pixels

I was on one of my rounds of social media trawling, just seeing what was floating through the aether, when I came across a toot by Andy P that said: Fun #css trick: width: calc(infinity * 1px); height: calc(infinity * 1px); …and I immediately thought, This is a perfect outer-limits probe! By which I mean, if I hand a browser values that are effectively infinite by way of the infinity keyword, it will necessarily end up clamping to something finite, thus revealing how far it’s able or willi

Eli Lilly’s Obesity Pill Shows Promising Weight Loss in New Results

An experimental pill made by Eli Lilly led to average weight loss of more than 12 percent of body weight in individuals with obesity, according to initial trial results announced by the drugmaker on Thursday. The pill is meant to be taken daily and would be an alternative to the company’s popular anti-obesity drug Zepbound, a once-weekly injectable drug. Called orforglipron, it’s part of a growing class of drugs known as GLP-1s, which include Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic and Wegovy. The drugs mimic a

Federal regulators give Zoox an exemption for its custom-built robotaxis

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has given Zoox an exemption to demonstrate its custom-built robotaxis on public roads and closed a related investigation into whether the Amazon-owned company had sidestepped federal regulations. The decision, which was announced Wednesday, clears up a long-standing debate over whether Zoox’s custom-built autonomous vehicles complied with federal motor vehicle safety standards, which place requirements on vehicles such as having a steering wh

This wall-mounted smart calendar has been a game changer in my home (and it's $50 off)

ZDNET's key takeaways The 15-inch Skylight Calendar is a smart display for $320, with a 10-inch version available for $160. It's a touchscreen calendar designed with busy lifestyles in mind that allows for shared use within a household or team.

Realizing we needed two sorts of alerts for our temperature monitoring

You're using a tool with a too-generic User-Agent You're probably reading this page because you've attempted to access some part of my blog (Wandering Thoughts) or CSpace, the wiki thing it's part of. Unfortunately whatever you're using to do so has a HTTP User-Agent header value that is too generic or otherwise excessively suspicious.

Los Alamos is capturing images of explosions at 7 millionths of a second

Download a print-friendly version of this article. Los Alamos scientists are good at doing things that seem impossible, like taking a picture of something that happens in less than seven-millionths of a second—such as an explosion. And not just one picture, but a series of images that reveal pivotal data about the material that exploded and the physics of the explosion. This so-called dynamic imaging is essential to the Lab’s stockpile stewardship mission because it helps scientists test and un

Deepest-Ever Field Image of Giant Galaxy Cluster Is a Brutal Reminder of Your Cosmic Insignificance

When it comes to deep space observations, our cosmological insignificance seems to grow with the resolution of our telescopes’ cameras. In the latest advance, astronomers constructed the deepest-ever images of Abell 3667, a massive galaxy cluster located 700 million light-years from Earth—and most of the tiny dots you see represent entire galaxies. But the latest images of Abell 3667 also offer “whispering evidence of past galactic interactions,” which astronomers document in detail in a paper

OpenAI's New Models Aren't Really Open: What to Know About Open-Weights AI

Despite the company's name, OpenAI hasn't dropped an open version of its AI models since GPT-2 in 2019. That changed on Tuesday, as CEO Sam Altman shared two new open-weights, reasoning AI models, named gpt-oss-120b (120 billion parameters) and gpt-oss-20b (20 billion parameters). If open-weights is a new piece of AI jargon to you, don't worry. In the simplest possible terms, open-weights is a category of AI models that power products like chatbots, image and video generators. But they are phil

Ray-Ban Meta stealth stickers go viral but fail to beat safeguards

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR A TikTok seller is promoting vinyl “Ghost Dots” that claim to block the recording light on Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. Meta’s glasses disable photo and video recording when the light is blocked, and comments suggest the stickers don’t work. TikTok briefly removed the product, but it’s already back on sale. Anyone talking to a Ray-Ban Meta wearer probably wants to know if they’re being recorded, which is why the tech giant added a recording light to it
