Trying to be productive at work after Arsenal loses their biggest match of the season.

Thinking of making the switch from academia to industry? I'll be speaking at Association for Psychological Science's virtual panel on Networking in Academia & Beyond on Wed. I'm looking forward to sharing what I've learned through my journey from psychology PhD to running my own UXR consulting biz ✨

Every few months, I slowly drift away from focusing on 1-2 key tasks per day to juggling 5+ things. When I hit reset, I wonder how I drifted because it feels so refreshing. Here's to lengthening that drift cycle.

How different is Research Ops in for-profit vs non-profit? What are the unique challenges of enabling UX research in government, especially where representation is critical? Stig Parfrey has answers to those questions, and more! Listen now 👉🏾tinyurl.com/sr-stigparfrey

Michael Scott was ahead of his time.

I've been loving how much I can lean on Perplexity to simplify a bunch of use cases, but the hallucinations/false positives (example screenshot) for *unknown* topics are just always in the back of my mind. Unless I'm deeply curious, I often don't read the cited sources.

@Zapier Central is now in beta! Say hello to custom AI assistants that work with you to analyze data, get answers, complete tasks and more. Here’s what's new in Central🧵

Two podcasts that I have on repeat recently: 1. David Senra 2. Teachers Off Duty Very different, but both very compelling.

On 8/25 we were made aware of a vulnerability in Arc by xyzeva. On 8/26 this vulnerability was fixed - thankfully no Arc members were affected. Firstly, I want to apologize for this vulnerability and our communications surrounding it. I’m not proud that this happened, but I do

Last Friday, we promised changes to The Browser Company's security. One week later, here's action: ✅ Arc's 🆕 Bug Bounty Program is live ✅ Arc's 🆕 Security Bulletin is live ✅ We redesigned internal security processes Much more to come, details in thread 👇

The The Browser Company’s second product is a smart browser called Dia. Come build it with us:

For the curious ones Arc members get early access to Dia’s beta tomorrow 6.11.25

Meet Dia. Now available for Arc members.

Here's the big idea behind Dia: You know how TikTok gets better with every swipe? Dia gets more personalized with every tab you open. This is 100x more context than ChatGPT, automatically. And we believe it changes what's possible with AI. But we need your help...

Been testing out the new The Browser Company 's Dia for a few weeks now, and honestly—it’s a whole new way to experience the web. Here’s what stands out (and what I’m still figuring out) 🧵👇 1/7

I can’t decide if this is a “bicycle for your mind” in the truest form, or a dystopian Black Mirror episode, or both. Whatever it is Chris Paik’s /graham skill in Dia was so emotionally resonant with our team that we made a video about it. You be the judge, try it yourself…

As josh pointed out in a convo, it's cool to see the connection between this /cuban and the /graham skill from Chris Paik. 1. Distill knowledge/frameworks/ideas from another person. 2. Package it into a Dia skill that allows me to apply it every day.

SKILLS ARE FOR CREATIVES so we cooked. Danger Testing's /samplecolor Skill pulls colors from our favorite artists and brings them into our apps If our apps feel like Harmony Korine, this is why.

The The Browser Company just signed a merger agreement to be acquired. We will remain independent. Our focus is Dia. I’ve written and rewritten this post more times than I’d like to admit, but what I keep coming back to is simple: the work continues, and we’re grateful for this

Starting today, the The Browser Company is back to shipping weekly updates. October's Dia releases include: • More powerful memory (of your tabs) • Redesigned Dia Skills • Arc's Focus Mode (CMD-S) All landing in Dia this month. Oh, we removed the waitlist today too 🤗
