Here are three reasons why AirPods Pro 2 are still worth picking up in 2025

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2026-02-12 12:28:32

We’re likely going to see yet another version of AirPods Pro this September, alongside the launch of the iPhone 17 lineup. Despite the current set of AirPods Pro coming up on nearly three years old, I don’t think that those in the market to buy new AirPods should necessarily waste their time waiting for a potentially upcoming model. AirPods Pro 2 keep getting better Even though we should get a new pair of AirPods Pro in the coming months, that hasn’t stopped Apple from continually making this

engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-12 08:10:04

One of Tesla's fully autonomous robotaxis grazed a parked car after completing a ride recently in Austin, Texas. In a video recorded by YouTuber DirtyTesla, a self-driving Model Y is seen turning and accelerating into a Toyota, making light contact with its tire. As seen in the video, the Model Y already dropped off its passenger, but had trouble navigating out of the dark alleyway afterwards. Tesla's robotaxi service launched in Austin just two weeks ago with a small fleet. According to DirtyT

Optimizing Tool Selection for LLM Workflows with Differentiable Programming

news.ycombinator.com Viksit Gaur 2026-02-12 11:52:46

Modern agentic architectures rely heavily on chaining LLM calls. A typical pattern looks like: Use an LLM to decide which tool to invoke Call the tool (e.g. search, calculator, API) Use another LLM call to interpret the result and generate a final response This structure is easy to reason about, simple to prototype, and generalizes well. But it scales poorly. Each LLM call incurs latency, cost, and token overhead. More subtly, it compounds context: every step includes not only the original q

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman got a taste of his own medicine when he went on the New York Times' turf and tried to twist the newspaper's copyright lawsuit against it.
