Comforting a crying baby can be difficult, especially if you aren't getting enough sleep. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, playing calming sounds via a white noise machine can help soothe your baby and get them to settle down -- and give you a moment of respite. But instead of buying a white noise machine, you could save money and use your iPhone instead. When Apple released iOS 15 in 2021, the operating system brought a hidden feature to your iPhone called Background Sounds. It

Is It Ever Legal—or Ethical—to Remove DRM?

wired.com Justin Pot 2025-11-05 05:30:00

Whatever you think about Digital Rights Management software, it's hard to argue with the fact that it's annoying. Such technology exists, in theory, to protect the intellectual property of the companies that create music, movies, and games, but it can also get in the way of you enjoying books, music, and videos the way you want to. Say, for example, that you bought a bunch of books on the Amazon Kindle platform but later decided you wanted to switch to a Kobo device (or vice versa). The DRM sys

AGI is an engineering problem, not a model training problem

news.ycombinator.com Vinci Rufus 2025-11-04 23:18:52

Published: Aug 13, 2025 | at 11:00 AM We’ve reached an inflection point in AI development. The scaling laws that once promised ever-more-capable models are showing diminishing returns. GPT-5, Claude, and Gemini represent remarkable achievements, but they’re hitting asymptotes that brute-force scaling can’t solve. The path to artificial general intelligence isn’t through training ever-larger language models—it’s through building engineered systems that combine models, memory, context, and determ

Air conditioners have been working overtime this hot summer, from those tiny window units to the massive AC towers that serve the tightly packed apartment buildings in major cities. And while they bring the relief of cool air, these contraptions also create the conditions for dangerous bacteria to multiply and spread.

The four cases were tied together not just by their shared location but also by the bacterial strain; whole genome sequencing showed the bacteria causing all four infections were highly related, suggesting a shared source of their infections.

Now, free users will no longer be able to use the API to like posts on behalf of a user, nor follow other users.
