people who were in dubai during the pandemic have full faith because they’ve seen how the UAE govt operates under crisis mode - it was one of many reasons that people decided to move here over the last six years

welcome nish to superteam uae!

Excited to unveil that the Solana Foundation has built a programmable consumer investing app powered by tokenized stocks When a user buys from Starbucks, Apple, Nike, Uber, or any supported brand, the app automatically buys a small amount of that company’s tokenized stock using predefined user rules

@ashen_one his rationale has nothing to do with what you've said - he's claiming that US attacked from UAE territory which is not true

ik ur uae guy but uae is not some holy land of peace bro, they havent been calling for deescalation of anything they've been backing israel for years (crystal ball + buying their drones + more) and basically okayed them to commit hundreds of war crimes in gaza and west bank while committing their own genocide in sudan also, israel bombed (not limited to): Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen, Qatar, struck aid flotillas in Tunisian, Maltese, and Greek waters, in the past 2 years alone and UAE did nothing about it (their neighbors too as youve mentioned) so, when israel + usa bombs iran even more (and just yesterday israel bombs Iran's South Pars without USA approval) it leads to even more of iran's bombings which ofc isnt good at all but isnt just some random act as youre portraying (irans request is still crazy and iran killing migrant workers and bombing airports is indefensible and those guys all suck too but it isnt as simple as youre saying)

1/ commit terrorist attacks on your neighbor who has been calling for de-escalation 2/ kill 6 innocent civilians and injure 157+ from 29 countries in UAE 3/ continue to attack civilian infrastructure 4/ demand compensation ????

@yazins requests: - ability to delete past sessions - ability to rename past sessions - ability to backfill past sessions based on the existing .md files in the working folder.

Just shipped the biggest update to OpenOats (prev OpenGranola: the open-source meeting copilot for macOS): Meeting Templates + AI Notes ✨ Pick a template before your meeting (1:1, Customer Discovery, Hiring, Stand-Up, Weekly) and after it ends, generate structured notes from the full transcript with one click. Notes stream in real-time as the LLM writes them. Browse past sessions, regenerate with different templates, copy to clipboard. Also fixed a subtle bug where the last ~3 seconds of audio could be lost when stopping a session. Now the app gracefully drains all buffered speech before closing. 4 new files, 1,277 lines added. All open source. github.com/yazinsai/OpenO…

@jasonrodrigues @yazins @syncthing same as granola it’s using sonnet

@afscott @yazins @syncthing how's the quality of the transcription?

found the perfect solution: github.com/yazinsai/OpenG… by @yazins transcribe meetings locally on your mac. then share that folder via @syncthing and your agents(s) can easily access transcript. enables: > post meeting debrief notes, actions, follow ups > easily query all past meetings

Abdullah bin Zayed Strongly Condemns Continued Iranian Terrorist Attacks on the UAE and Extends Sincere Condolences to Victims’ Families His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, expressed his sincere condolences and deep sympathy to the families of the victims of Iran’s unprovoked terrorist attacks targeting the UAE. The victims, who lost their lives as a result of these blatant attacks, are Alaa Nader Awni from the State of Palestine; Murib Zaman Nizar, Muzaffar Ali Ghulam, and Ismail Salim Khan from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan; Ahmed Ali from the People’s Republic of Bangladesh; and Dibas Shrestha from the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal. His Highness also wished a swift and full recovery to all those injured. His Highness further extended his condolences to the State of Palestine and its people, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and its people, the People’s Republic of Bangladesh and its people, and the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal and its people, over the victims of these attacks. His Highness underscored the UAE’s continued commitment to the safety and security of all citizens, residents, and visitors. His Highness condemned in the strongest terms the continued Iranian missile and drone attacks, which have persisted for 18 consecutive days and involved more than 2,000 ballistic and cruise missiles and drones targeting critical civilian infrastructure, airports, residential areas, and civilian sites across the UAE. His Highness underscored that this dangerous escalation constitutes a flagrant violation of the country’s sovereignty and poses a serious threat to regional and international security and stability. His Highness added: “The UAE strongly condemns this ongoing escalation targeting civilians and critical facilities across the country. These unprovoked attacks, which have persisted for more than two weeks, have been met with strong international condemnation through United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817, co-sponsored by 136 UN Member States. The resolution demands that Iran immediately and unconditionally cease these attacks against the Gulf states and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and affirms that it is fully liable for all damages and losses incurred by the affected countries.” His Highness stressed that the UAE reserves its full right to take all necessary measures to safeguard its sovereignty, national security, and territorial integrity, and to ensure the safety and security of its citizens and residents, in accordance with its inherent right of self-defense under international law. His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed underscored that the UAE’s relevant authorities are fully prepared to address any threats, and that these attacks will not deter the UAE from safeguarding its sovereignty, security, and stability. His Highness emphasized that the security situation across the country remains stable, and that readiness levels are at their highest, underpinned by rigorous professional standards and clear institutional frameworks, reinforcing a strong sense of safety and reassurance for all who live in the UAE. His Highness also commended the support and solidarity expressed by more than 130 countries with the UAE, reflecting the confidence the international community places in the UAE and its well-established global standing, built over decades of responsible diplomacy, strong international partnerships, and a commitment to regional and global stability. mofa.gov.ae/en/mediahub/ne…
