The Morning After: The verdict on AirPods Pro 3

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-11 16:15:58

Apple’s third-gen pro earbuds make a very strong case for upgrading. Alongside all those iPhones and Watches, Apple revealed the AirPods Pro 3, packing in major new features, like live translation and heart-rate sensing, all while tangibly boosting active noise cancellation (ANC). Those ANC upgrades? Ultra-low-noise microphones combine with advanced computational audio to silence even more noise, while new foam-infused ear tips play a major role here too, since they offer increased passive nois

Automating Distro Updates in CI

news.ycombinator.com Neyts Zupan 2025-10-11 13:20:24

For a long time, we had a recurring TODO in our calendar: once a month, check whether any Linux distro we test against got a new stable version—or dropped support for an old one. Sounds simple. In reality, it was annoying, error-prone, and we were always late. Someone had to remember, look up release notes, update our CI matrix, and push a commit. Sometimes we missed a release for weeks, even months. Sometimes we forgot to remove an EOL version. It was busywork, not engineering. So we automate

Six decades have now passed since some of the most iconic Project Gemini spaceflights. The 60th anniversary of Gemini 4, when Ed White conducted the first US spacewalk, came in June. The next mission, Gemini 5, ended just two weeks ago, in 1965. These missions are now forgotten by most Americans, as most of the people alive during that time are now deceased. However, during these early years of spaceflight, NASA engineers and astronauts cut their teeth on a variety of spaceflight firsts, flying

Chatbots are genuinely impressive when you watch them do things they're good at, like writing a basic email or creating weird, futuristic-looking images. But ask generative AI to solve one of those puzzles in the back of a newspaper, and things can quickly go off the rails. That's what researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder found when they challenged large language models to solve sudoku. And not even the standard 9x9 puzzles.
