The brand-new Sony WH-1000XM6 are excellent headphones, but are they worth their high $499.99 price point? Many would argue so, but I don’t have unlimited money and would prefer to get something nearly as good if it saves me hundreds of dollars. The previous-generation Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are still impressive cans, and right now they are just $249.99!

Web Bot Auth is an authentication method that leverages cryptographic signatures in HTTP messages to verify that a request comes from an automated bot. Web Bot Auth is used as a verification method for verified bots and signed agents. It relies on two active IETF drafts: a directory draft ↗ allowing the crawler to share their public keys, and a protocol draft ↗ defining how these keys should be used to attach crawler's identity to HTTP requests.

In Search of AI Psychosis

news.ycombinator.com Scott Alexander 2025-10-25 19:30:50

AI psychosis (NYT, PsychologyToday) is an apparent phenomenon where people go crazy after talking to chatbots too much. There are some high-profile anecdotes, but still many unanswered questions. For example, how common is it really? Are the chatbots really driving people crazy, or just catching the attention of people who were crazy already? Isn’t psychosis supposed to be a biological disease? Wouldn’t that make chatbot-induced psychosis the same kind of category error as chatbot-induced diabet

My startup banking story (2023)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-28 05:38:20

March 14, 2023 As a relatively new member of adult society, and an absolute infant of the business world, I didn't think much about bank choice. I figured: you put money in, you take money out, they're all the same. I also figured a local branch of a global bank is just a fungible tentacle of the giant banking machine, so also... who cares. Both incorrect assumptions, but let's relive and rediscover the effect of these assumptions as I did. I start my company. I am a 22 year old recent college

Mississippi’s age assurance law puts decentralized social networks to the test

techcrunch.com Sarah Perez 2025-10-28 05:14:21

An overly broad age assurance law in Mississippi is leading to arguments about which platforms — Bluesky, Mastodon, or others — offer the best solution for avoiding crackdowns on internet freedoms. The company that makes the Bluesky social app announced last week that it would block access to its service in the state of Mississippi rather than comply with the new age verification law. In a blog post, the company explained that, as a small team, it lacked the resources to implement the substanti

Zinsner acknowledged the investment on Thursday during an investor conference. The investment is part of the White House's decision last Friday to take a 10% stake in the beleaguered computer chip company. Zinser also signaled the possibility that Intel seeks outside investment for its foundry business. The company reported better-than-expected second-quarter results

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Much ink has been spilled around the Pixel 10’s SIM situation. In the US, the three main phones — Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL — ship without a physical SIM slot. You can use two eSIMs at the same time, and some of us think that’s fine. While I do love my eSIMs, I’m not ready to adopt them full time just yet, so you can’t imagine my relief when we learned that the rest of the world gets to keep the slot.

Most research on programming language performance asks a variation of a single question: how can we make some specific program faster? Sometimes we may even investigate how we can use less memory. This means a lot of research focuses solely on reducing the amount of resources needed to achieve some computational goal. So, why on earth might we be interested in slowing down programs then?
