My feed was recently clogged up with news articles reporting that Sam Altman thinks that AGI is here, or will be here next year, or whatever. I will refrain from giving even more air to this nonsense by linking to the stories. This kind of irresponsible hype-generation drives me nuts (although it also drives up stock prices so I can see why the tech bros are motivated to do it). Sure AI can have a good crack at undergraduate mathematics right now, and sure that’s pretty amazing. But our universi

Garmin’s new sleep tracker offers a week of battery life

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-28 06:23:50

Sleep tracking is nothing new in Garmin’s fitness watches, but the company’s latest wearable is a dedicated smart sleep band. The Index Sleep Monitor offers week-long battery life with continuous pulse ox tracking for monitoring your blood oxygen saturation while you sleep. Garmin’s tracker is worn on the upper arm — which should hopefully make it more comfortable — where it tracks a variety of metrics: skin temperature; light, deep and REM sleep stages; and variations in your heart rate and br

This smart light has party speaker aspirations

theverge.com Jennifer Pattison Tuohy 2025-09-28 07:00:00

The most surprising thing about Govee’s colorful smart lamp with a speaker built-in is that we didn’t get something like this sooner. We’ve had color-changing smart home lights that sync to music via an app, and we’ve had Bluetooth speakers with RGB lights — putting the two together feels like the natural next step. The Govee Table Lamp 2 Pro X Sound by JBL ($179.99) combines snazzy lighting effects and decent sound into one fun, portable package. Unlike most RGB Bluetooth party speakers, it’s

Borderlands 4 is coming on September 12 on the Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and the Windows PC. I had a chance to play it for a few hours in a preview session, and I liked how familiar it felt.

Homomorphically Encrypting CRDTs

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-28 09:59:58

Here’s a problem with local-first software. You want to work on a document together with a friend who lives far away from you. That sounds like local-first’s bread and butter: store the document as a CRDT, then use some sort of sync server to merge updates and relay them between you and your friend. But there’s a catch: the contents of that document are secret. So secret, in fact, that you don’t even want the app developer to know what they are. One way to solve this is end-to-end encryption.

If you ever need to transcribe audio or video to text, most current apps are powered by OpenAI’s Whisper model. You’re probably using this model if you use apps like MacWhisper to transcribe meetings or lectures, or to generate subtitles for YouTube videos.
