Maintaining Weight Loss

news.ycombinator.com Leigh Peele 2026-01-17 03:05:29

When people hit their weight loss goals, it’s easy to assume the hardest part is behind them. However, maintaining that progress is a skill with its own set of challenges. In fact, sometimes, people are more prepared for the initial grind of weight loss than for the long-term effort required for maintenance. This article aims to provide a collection of skills to manage maintenance more effectively while hopefully making it feel sustainable. Let’s dig in! 1. Really understanding the role of yo

Google says it never received a UK demand for encryption backdoor, unlike Apple

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2026-01-17 21:22:00

A hot potato: Google says that unlike rival Apple, it has not received a demand from the UK government to build a backdoor in its encrypted services. The tech giant had refused to answer a US Senator's question on the matter, but it has since confirmed it is not subject to a similar order as Apple. In a letter to the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, Senator Ron Wyden, who serves on the Senate Intelligence Committee, wrote about the UK's "reported secret surveillance demands of

A few weeks ago, a report from Counterpoint Research suggested Apple may be turning things around in China. Now, new data from Canalys shows iPhone shipments in mainland China rose during the second quarter of 2025, even as the broader smartphone market declined. Here’s the breakdown. iPhone picks up, but Apple still in fifth Canalys’ numbers show that Apple shipped 10.1 million iPhones in Q2 2025, placing it fifth in China’s smartphone rankings, behind Huawei, vivo, OPPO, and Xiaomi.

The FBI Is Reportedly Holding the Missing Footage From Outside Epstein's Cell

futurism.com Unknown 2026-01-18 14:10:45

Despite official insistence to the contrary, insiders say that the US government is in possession of the "missing minute" from the footage outside of Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan jail cell when the infamous pedophile died. Earlier this month, attorney general Pam Bondi released what the Justice Department referred to as the "full raw" surveillance footage from outside Epstein's cell — a still frame of which is shown above — documenting nearly 11 hours of the outside of the disgraced financier's

The Making of Dario Amodei

Dario Amodei doesn’t hesitate when I ask what’s gotten into him. The Anthropic CEO has spent 2025 at war, feuding with industry counterparts, members of the government, and the public’s perception of artificial intelligence. In recent months, he’s predicted that AI could soon eliminate 50% of entry-level, white-collar jobs. He’s railed against a ten-year AI regulation moratorium in the pages of the New York Times. And he’s called for semiconductor export controls to China, drawing a public rebu

DOJ Has a Copy of the Epstein Jail Video With the ‘Missing Minute’: Report

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2026-01-19 22:00:24

When the U.S. Department of Justice released a nearly 11-hour video in early July that purported to show the last time Jeffrey Epstein was seen alive, people couldn’t help but notice that there was a full minute missing. Attorney General Pam Bondi insisted there was a simple explanation: That’s just how the jail’s antiquated camera systems work. But a new report claims Bondi isn’t telling the truth.

‘Thunderbolts’ Director Teases His Take on the ‘Complex’ X-Men

While Marvel basks in the success of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, director Jake Schreier—the guiding hand behind Marvel’s earlier 2025 hit, Thunderbolts—is looking ahead to the studio’s most anticipated movie that doesn’t have the word “Avengers” in the title. Schreier is helming the movie designed to bring the X-Men fully into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, on the heels of Deadpool & Wolverine. As you’d expect, he’s giving his approach to the oft-adapted characters a lot of thought. Speaki

When Guillermo del Toro finally got the chance to make his dream project, an adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, you just knew it was going to be beautiful. Del Toro’s films are known for a lot of things, and sumptuous production design and costumes are right near the top of the list. So, it almost goes without saying that a group of new images from the film are stunning, but these almost go beyond that.

Much like Frankenstein’s monster itself, the monster at the center of Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein is a mash-up of inspirations. There’s Boris Karloff, the original and most famous Frankenstein. There’s artist Bernie Wrightson, whose illustrations of the character greatly impacted del Toro. There’s Mary Shelley, of course, whose novel the film is based on.

Enough AI copilots, we need AI HUDs

In my opinion, one of the best critiques of modern AI design comes from a 1992 talk by the researcher Mark Weiser where he ranted against “copilot” as a metaphor for AI. This was 33 years ago, but it’s still incredibly relevant for anyone designing with AI. Weiser’s rant Weiser was speaking at an MIT Media Lab event on “interface agents”.

I’ll start with rolling narrative observations, then a grab bag of details that I found fun, then my favorite excerpt to close out.

Ageing of many tissues accelerates around age 50, according to an analysis of tissues in people ranging from teenagers to individuals in their sixties.Credit: Karen Haibara/AFP/Getty It is a warning that middle-aged people have long offered the young: ageing is not a smooth process. Now, an exhaustive analysis of how proteins change over time in different organs backs up that idea, finding that people experience an inflection point at around 50 years old, after which ageing seems to accelerate.

Do You Need a Barbecue Knife?

A while back at my favorite kitchen-gear trade show, I spotted what appeared to be a trending category: barbecue knives. Their distinguishing characteristics seem to be a fairly tall blade, a shape that encourages a wokka-wokka–style rocking motion, and a target audience that skews heavily toward dudes with beards. Not all of those traits scream “great for grilling,” but I was intrigued. One question immediately stuck in my head: What, if anything, makes a knife grill-friendly? Those I'd come a
