These Wireless Earbuds Have a Screen, ChatGPT, and a Cute Robot Face—but They Sound Terrible

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-10-25 10:00:50

I like wireless earbuds because I love music. It’s very straightforward; music exists, and I want to listen to it, and wireless earbuds are the thing that gets me to the thing I love. Problem solved. You can’t see it, but I’m smugly dusting my hands right now like a mathematician at a chalkboard. There’s a symbiosis between the buds and me. A simplicity. A supply and demand so fundamental that in the gadget world, it feels like a law of nature. But, as much as I love wireless audio, there are s

Ask HN: Best foundation model for CLM fine-tuning?

Hi, I have a largish (2 GB) corpus of curated, high-quality text in some low-resource language, and I want to build a model that would provide an advanced "auto complete" service for writers. I'm thinking of taking a decoder-only model such as Llama, Mistral or Gemma, slice off the embedding layers (which are based on unneeded languages), create new ones (perhaps initialized based on a FastText model trained on the corpus), paired with a tokenizer newly created from my corpus, then train the m

UK age check law seems to be hurting sites that comply, helping those that don’t

In Brief The United Kingdom recently started enforcing the Online Safety Act’s age-check rules, and The Washington Post reports that it’s already having a significant effect on web traffic. U.K. law now requires pornography websites to verify their users’ ages through means such as face scans and driver’s licenses; it also requires that online platforms prevent children from being exposed to adult content (which is why sites like Bluesky and Reddit have begun checking some users’ ages).

In the 1960s, meteorologist Edward Lorenz was running weather simulations on an early computer system when he realized that a small rounding difference led to extremely divergent weather predictions.
