People Are REALLY Mad at These AI Glasses That Record Everything Constantly

Are you looking forward to a future of casual but supercharged surveillance, in which inconspicuous wearable devices record everything private you do — ostensibly in service of making you "super intelligent?" Evidently, readers, you are not. Users on social media have responded with horror and outrage to a pair of smart glasses developed by a startup called Halo that its creators, a pair of Harvard dropouts, claim will feed you live AI-powered insights while logging and transcribing every conv

This Is the Best Oil to Use for Every Type of Cooking

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-11-02 11:00:00

Cooking oil can completely transform a dish, but using the wrong one can ruin it. While olive oil is a go-to for many home cooks, it isn't always the best choice. The reason? Its lower smoke point means it can burn at high temperatures, leaving food with an unpleasant, bitter taste. For frying, searing or any other high-heat cooking, reach for neutral oils like canola, avocado or grapeseed instead. They can withstand hotter temperatures and deliver a cleaner, crisper finish.

Evaluating LLMs for my personal use case

news.ycombinator.com Graham King 2025-11-04 05:40:33

Most models are excellent, so cost and latency dominate. It’s great that AI can win maths Olympiads, but that’s not what I’m doing. I mostly ask basic Rust, Python, Linux and life questions. So I did my own evaluation. I gathered 130 real prompts from my bash history (I use command line tool llm). I had Qwen3 235B Thinking and Gemini 2.5 Pro group them into categories. They both chose very similar ones, broadly (with examples): Programming - “Write a bash script to ..” Sysadmin - “With curl

Kumail Nanjiani Reveals His ‘Eternals’ Future That Could’ve Been

It’s no secret the MCU entered the 2020s with some growing pains. A pandemic will do that to you, ditto a spottier output, and one of the more divisive projects was Eternals.

GPT-5 usage limitations: what are they, how does this compare to GPT-4 family?

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority GPT-5 arrived a few weeks ago, though its rollout hasn’t been entirely smooth. While the model shows plenty of promise, its debut also meant the abrupt removal of every other GPT model from ChatGPT’s user-facing UI. Since then, some old models have returned, and there have been a few other changes to the way the system works. Furthermore, many of the initial GPT-5 usage limits have been temporarily enhanced since launch. Let’s dive in and take a closer look

Is moderate drinking healthy? Scientists say the idea is outdated

The comfort we get when offloading our cognitive load to LLMs is bad for us. Cognitive load should exist, and if we reduce it too much – if we stop thinking – we can actually unlearn how to think. Kids who always choose the easy route and copy their homework from other students eventually find themselves completely clueless about what’s going on in school. Someone who always lets their spouse handle all the bills and banking may one day be unable to manage even a simple payment on their own. A

ChatGPT-5 Lets You Choose Your AI Model. These Are Your Options

The biggest pushback after OpenAI announced its new GPT-5 model for ChatGPT came from devotees of older models who felt the new generative AI chatbot lacked the panache of its predecessors. Now you have more choices of pre-GPT-5 models (although you'll have to hunt for some of them) and better control over which components of GPT-5 handle your questions. OpenAI is still sorting through a somewhat rocky launch of GPT-5, led by complaints about the lack of model choices. The model has been antic

Still, GPT-5 does improve on at least some of the previous legacy models. Before we dive in, it’s important to note that GPT-5 really does have less personality.
