My Wife and I Are Never Splitting AirPods Again Thanks to This iPhone Trick

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-02-22 00:00:05

When my wife and I travel, we usually download some shows to watch on our flight. But when we watch those shows, we always have to split a set of AirPods so we each have one earbud. That means one of our ears is enjoying the show while the other is forced to endure whatever is happening around the plane, which can be a little distracting. But thanks to Apple's Audio Sharing feature, we can each enjoy a show together while using our own sets of AirPods. Audio Sharing was introduced with iOS 18 a

JavaScript Trademark Update

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-21 23:52:00

On June 18, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) dismissed our fraud claim against Oracle. We disagree with this decision. That claim alleged Oracle knowingly misled the USPTO in its 2019 renewal by submitting a screenshot of the Node.js website to show use of the “JavaScript” trademark. As the creator of Node.js, I find that especially offensive. Node.js was never an Oracle product or brand. Oracle didn’t create it, didn’t run it, and wasn’t authorized to use it to prop up its trademark

Anthropic’s Claude AI became a terrible business owner in experiment that got ‘weird’

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2026-02-22 03:00:00

For those of you wondering if AI agents can truly replace human workers, do yourself a favor and read the blog post that documents Anthropic’s “Project Vend.” Researchers at Anthropic and AI safety company Andon Labs put an instance of Claude Sonnet 3.7 in charge of an office vending machine, with a mission to make a profit. And, like an episode of “The Office,” hilarity ensued. They named the AI agent Claudius, equipped it with a web browser capable of placing product orders and an email addr

Richard Drury/Getty Images More and more, in the midst of a loneliness epidemic and structural barriers to mental health support, people are turning to AI chatbots for everything from career coaching to romance.

Project Vend: Can Claude run a small shop? (And why does that matter?)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-23 04:09:14

We let Claude manage an automated store in our office as a small business for about a month. We learned a lot from how close it was to success—and the curious ways that it failed—about the plausible, strange, not-too-distant future in which AI models are autonomously running things in the real economy. Anthropic partnered with Andon Labs, an AI safety evaluation company, to have Claude Sonnet 3.7 operate a small, automated store in the Anthropic office in San Francisco. Here is an excerpt of
