I want to use YouTube Music for podcasts, but it keeps letting me down

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-06 02:00:42

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority I like listening to podcasts when I’m doing household chores. So I recently opened YouTube Music with the intention of continuing a podcast I’d been enjoying the evening before, but instead of resuming where I left off, I found myself squinting at the screen, scrolling through a wall of music suggestions, videos, and algorithmic clutter. The podcast was nowhere in sight. YouTube Music had let me down, again. My dream is to have as few apps as possible, and t

Proposal: GUI-first, text-based mechanical CAD inspired by software engineering

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-01 15:37:00

Most mechanical CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion, FreeCAD) still lock all modeling into opaque binary files. That makes it hard to track changes, collaborate with Git, or automate builds. I’ve written a proposal for an alternative paradigm: - GUI-first, like KiCad - visual modeling is the default - Text-based source files (YAML/JSON) — readable, diffable, Git-friendly - Separation of source and result - .step, .stl and previews are built artifacts - Parametric logic is explicit - slot width =

Ruby 3.4 Frozen String Literals: What Rails Developers Actually Need to Know Ruby 3.4 takes the first step in a multi-version transition to frozen string literals by default. Your Rails app will continue working exactly as before, but Ruby now provides opt-in warnings to help you prepare. Here’s what you need to know.

Record-Setting Qubit Performance Marks Important Step Toward Practical Quantum Computing

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-03-06 02:05:09

The promise of so-called “quantum advantage” is simple. By harnessing the counterintuitive rules of quantum mechanics, quantum computers should be able to—in theory—surpass the computational potential of any classical supercomputer. But before quantum advantage drastically changes information technology as we know it, researchers have yet to address the many hurdles that are preventing quantum computers from entering into the mainstream. That said, quantum computing as a field has evolved drama

US court strikes down 'click-to-cancel' rule designed to make unsubscribing easy

A federal rule designed to make canceling subscriptions as easy as signing up for them has been struck down by a US federal appeals court just days before it was scheduled to take effect. The US court of appeals for the eighth circuit vacated the Federal Trade Commission’s “click-to-cancel” rule, which would have required companies to allow consumers to cancel subscriptions using the same method they used to sign up, after finding that the commission behind it failed to follow required procedur

From Point Clouds to Photorealism: How PRoGS Advances the State of Neural Rendering

computer.org Enrique Quezada 2026-03-06 18:34:42

What if a real-time automated decision-making process needs a computer vision system to produce photorealistic visuals in a mere fraction of a second? In many cases, this requires too much computational power — if it’s even possible at all. When computer vision uses 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS), it provides a photorealistic image, but the process takes far too long.

Brut: A New Web Framework for Ruby

news.ycombinator.com David Bryant Copeland 2026-03-07 05:03:20

Brut aims to be a simple, yet fully-featured web framework for Ruby. It's different than other Ruby web frameworks. Brut has no controllers, verbs, or resources. You build pages, forms, and single-action handlers. You write HTML, which is generated on the server. You can write all the JavaScript and CSS you want.

Someone Is Calling Trump Officials Using an AI Clone of Marco Rubio’s Voice

Government employees keep getting calls from Secretary of State Marco Rubio—which would be bad enough, frankly, having to talk to that guy. But making matters worse, it seems that it’s not actually Marco Rubio but instead, an unidentified caller who is mimicking his voice with artificial intelligence software, according to a report from the Washington Post. The technologically advanced crank caller has reportedly contacted at least three foreign ministers, a governor, and a member of Congress,

New Research Bolsters Freaky Theory That Earth Sits in a Giant Cosmic Void

Images of the cosmos, such as the James Webb Space Telescope’s deep space snapshot, make space look chock-full of stuff. In the grand scheme of things, it is, but all those stars, galaxies, planets, and other celestial objects may not be as uniformly distributed as photos make them look. The fact is, space is likely peppered with bubbles of relative emptiness, and some astronomers believe we’re sitting inside of one.
