Hugging Face’s New AI Biology Model Lets You Chat With DNA - WIRED

OpenAI announced on Tuesday that users can now lock ChatGPT conversations to keep sensitive chats private when others may have access to their screen or device. Users can secure their locked chats with a four-digit PIN, or use Face ID or Touch ID on supported devices. Unlike the app’s Temporary Chats, which provide a separate session that doesn’t appear in chat history, users can return to Locked Chats at any time.

An affordable, water-resistant packable backpack for travel and day hikes Our verdictThe Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Dry Daypack is an affordable packable travel daypack that works as a functional backup bag without taking up too much room. It packs compactly into a very small Ultra-Sil stuff sack that includes a handy aluminium carabiner to clip onto your primary bag, purse, sling, or larger backpack. It is designed for travelers who want a lightweight stuff sack rather than a structured daypack or backpack. We tested the Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Dry Daypack on a week-long trip to Germany that involved city tours, casual hiking, and a short run. We even used it for three months on weekend trips to Chicago, taking it to farmers markets, on bike rides, and on errands around town. It has one main compartment that can hold items like jackets, caps, snacks, and knick-knacks. The bag performed flawlessly in terms of durability and comfort for carrying for short periods of time as well as a 5-mile hike. It is easy to open with a roll-top closure and pack away when not in use. The bungy cords on the front are convenient to store quick-access items like a rain jacket or a hat.
