I ditched Spotify and set up my own music stack

news.ycombinator.com James Ambrose 2025-10-16 14:47:45

For years, I relied on Spotify like millions of others. The convenience was undeniable stream anything, anywhere, discover new music through algorithms, and share playlists with friends. But over time, several issues became impossible to ignore: artists getting paid fractions of pennies per stream, fake Artists and ghost Tracks, AI music and impersonation, creepy age verification complicity and the fact that despite paying monthly, I never actually owned anything.

Desperate Companies Now Hiring Humans to Fix What AI Botched

For a while now, we've been seeing companies that fired a bunch of their human workers in favor of artificial intelligence move to recoup some of that flesh-and-blood labor. Now, that push has resulted in a new line of gig work: slop fixer-uppers, who get paid to improve AI-generated art, writing, and code — by making it less, well, sloppy. In an interview with NBC News, longtime freelance illustrator Lisa Carstens said fixing AI-generated logos, many of which have fuzzy lines and garbled text

The number of mis-issued 1.1.1.1 certificates grows. Here’s the latest.

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-16 19:29:34

Wednesday’s discovery of three mis-issued TLS certificates for Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 encrypted DNS lookup service generated intense interest and concern among Internet security practitioners. The revelation raised the possibility that an unknown entity had obtained the cryptographic equivalent of a skeleton key that could be used to surreptitiously decrypt millions of users’ DNS queries that were encrypted through DNS over TLS or DNS over HTTPS. From there, the scammers could have read queries or

Who Owns ‘Telepathy’?

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-10-16 23:10:12

Elon Musk’s neural implant startup Neuralink has been trying to trademark two product names: Telepathy and Telekinesis. Musk has previously claimed that his company will be able to give people “superpowers,” so the desire to take ownership over these special abilities makes sense. Unfortunately for Neuralink, patent applications for Telepathy and Telekinesis have already been filed by a different business.

Action was the best 8-bit programming language

news.ycombinator.com Paul Lefebvre 2025-10-17 02:25:54

There were many programming languages available for 8-bit computers, the most common being BASIC and Assembly Language, but there were also other lesser-used languages such as Logo, Forth, and Pilot. The languages that would go on to dominate 16-bit computing, C and Pascal, were also available but were usually severely limited. An 8-bit computer generally did not have enough horsepower to run those more complex language compilers. By 1983 Optimized Systems Software (OSS) was renown in the Atari

This Electric Shaver Is Made From Aircraft-Grade Aluminium, Because Why Not?

Nothing says “premium” like aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, am I right? I guess.
