JBL's Grip Bluetooth speaker doubles as a snazzy reading light

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-22 22:00:33

JBL just announced a new portable Bluetooth speaker, called the Grip. This model includes a rope hook, which should make it easy to attach to backpacks, ski gear, or just about anything else. It also features customizable ambient lighting that actually looks pretty useful. The company says this lighting scheme makes the speaker a "perfect bedside companion for late-night reading." A speaker that doubles as a night light? I can see the use for that. As for the audio, JBL promises "pro sound" at

The Morning After: DJI’s tiny Mic 3 can record four subjects at once

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-23 07:19:20

It was a quiet Labor Day weekend for tech, but the Engadget team has kept busy testing out new gear from the likes of DJI, Sony and Bose. I want to kick things off with the new flagship DJI Mic 3. The wireless mics have a wholesale design change from the Mic 2, plus many improvements in sound quality, noise reduction and the number of subjects you can record at once — though there is one downgrade compared to the last model. I’ve had one for over a week, so I’ll share some impressions as well.

An LLM is a lossy encyclopedia

Since I love collecting questionable analogies for LLMs, here's a new one I just came up with: an LLM is a lossy encyclopedia. They have a huge array of facts compressed into them but that compression is lossy (see also Ted Chiang). The key thing is to develop an intuition for questions it can usefully answer vs questions that are at a level of detail where the lossiness matters. This thought sparked by a comment on Hacker News asking why an LLM couldn't "Create a boilerplate Zephyr project sk

Meet the Guys Betting Big on AI Gambling Agents

When Carson Szeder turned five dollars into more than a thousand by betting on an NFL game last year, he knew he was onto something major. “Definitely my biggest win,” he says. He hadn’t scored because he was especially deft at football analytics—or because he was particularly lucky. Instead, he says he used an AI program to help him decide how to gamble.

Hungry Worms Could Help Solve Plastic Pollution

wired.com Ritsuko Kawai 2025-10-23 07:30:00

Plastics that support modern life are inexpensive, strong, and versatile, but are difficult to dispose of and have a serious impact when released into the environment. Polyethylene, in particular, is the most widely produced plastic in the world, with more than 100 million tons distributed annually. Since it can take decades to decompose—and along the way can harm wildlife and degrade into harmful microplastics—its disposal is an urgent issue for mankind. In 2017, European researchers discovere

Ripple is a TypeScript UI framework for web (If React and Svelte had a baby)

What is Ripple? Currently, this project is still in early development, and should not be used in production. Ripple is a TypeScript UI framework that takes the best parts of React, Solid and Svelte and combined them into one package.

Using JWT to establish a trusted context for Row Level Security

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-20 05:32:51

Row-level security (RLS) is a great feature. It allows restricting access to rows by applying filters defined by a policy. It’s a tool useful for cases when the data set can’t be split into separate databases. Sadly, using RLS may be quite cumbersome. RLS requires some sort of “trusted context” for the RLS policies. The policies need to filter using data the user can’t change. If the filter uses some sort of “tenant ID”, and the user can change it to an arbitrary value, that would break the RLS
