9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-09-18 17:18:13

A few weeks ago, WhatsApp started testing a feature that would let users set reminders for incoming messages. This feature is now live. Here’s how it works. Preset or custom timers spanning 1 minute to 1 day Different users have different methods to avoid forgetting to reply to a text message. If you’re anything like me, you probably keep them unread until you can actually respond. Still, sometimes, a few important messages can fall through the cracks.

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-09-23 13:00:57

Large language models largely remain black boxes in terms of what is happening inside them to produce the outputs that they do. They have also been a bit of a black box in terms of who is using them and what they are doing with them. OpenAI, with some help from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), set out to figure out what exactly its growing user base is getting up to with its chatbot. It found a surprising amount of personal use and a closing “gender gap” among its frequent users.

Posted August 31, 2025 by Nolan Lawson in performance, Web. Tagged: timers. 9 Comments Even if you’ve been doing JavaScript for a while, you might be surprised to learn that setTimeout(0) is not really setTimeout(0) . Instead, it could run 4 milliseconds later: const start = performance.now() setTimeout(() => { // Likely 4ms console.log(performance.now() - start) }, 0) Nearly a decade ago when I was on the Microsoft Edge team, it was explained to me that browsers did this to avoid “abuse.” I.
