What Google Translate Can Tell Us About Vibecoding | Ingrid's Space What Google Translate Can Tell Us About Vibecoding 6 minute read There has been rather a lot of doomsaying (and perhaps astroturfing) lately about LLMs as the end of computer programming. Much of the discussion has been lacking nuance, so I’d like to add mine. I see claims from one side that “I used $LLM_SERVICE_PROVIDER to make a small throwaway tool, so all programmers will be unemployed in $ARBITRARY_TIME_WINDOW ”, and f

F1 reviews are here, and it sounds like exactly the movie Apple wanted

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-09-10 14:28:57

F1 The Movie is shaping up to be Apple’s biggest film gamble ever. But if critics’ reviews are any indication of success, that bet could pay off big at the box office this summer. Here’s what reviews are saying. F1 The Movie has all the makings of a great summer blockbuster, per reviews Apple has largely gotten away from theatrical film debuts, preferring instead to premiere its new movies directly on Apple TV+.

ChatGPT's Voice Feature Makes It Feel More Human Than Ever

After years of dealing with voice assistants that constantly misheard me or cut me off mid-sentence, I didn't expect much when I tapped the little wavelength icon to try ChatGPT's Voice Mode. I figured it would be another feature that sounded cool but fell flat in real use. But this one surprised me. Voice Mode doesn't just spit out answers. It actually feels like a real conversation. It picks up on pauses, mumbled thoughts, and even those filler words like "uhhh" without breaking the flow. Whe

Hasbro is launching a new type of Furby Tuesday, with an elongated design that makes it part cat, part worm and part DJ. The $70 DJ Furby is three times the size of a standard Furby, and the creature's body includes a light display along its body that can be used for various games. After unboxing the DJ Furby, it was immediately obvious to me that the wormlike body emphasizes the animatronic toy's resemblance to a cat more than ever.

A legal expert found that Meta's AI is able to spit out entire portions of books verbatim — and if he's right, it could be seriously bad news for the company and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg. First, a quick primer. All the AI that's commercially buzzy at the moment, like OpenAI's ChatGPT or Meta's Llama, is trained by feeding in huge amounts of data.

For the Switch 2, portability isn't just a feature, it's a key selling point. With that in mind, there are two paths you can take to outfit your console for adventure, based on how you play.

Remember when falling asleep was easy? Even well into my 30s, I could simply close my eyes, take a few deep breaths and gently drift off to dreamland. These days, it takes a carefully curated wind-down routine, an army of sleep aids and the mental zen of a shaman for me to fall and stay asleep. Some nights it's because of the rap-tap-tap of my 4-year-old complaining of a bad dream, or the intermittent cries of my 1-year-old. Other times, it's my laundry list of deadlines or to-dos.
