news.ycombinator.com Óscar Toledo Gutiérrez 2025-09-29 09:28:14

Developing a BASIC language interpreter in 2025 Recently, I had the chance to get an Intellivision II console along the ECS (Entertainment Computer System) and keyboard. I found and typed a game Bomb Run 1 , using its integrated BASIC language, and I was pretty surprised to see how incredibly slow is it Apparently, Mattel Electronics only developed the ECS to avoid paying a daily penalty of $10,000 dollars to the USA government because they were advertising a keyboard component that wasn't yet

5 apps you should use instead of Spotify

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-03 08:00:13

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I used the premium version of Spotify for a long time but ditched it a while back. It’s a great app overall, and I see why so many people like it, but I wanted to try something new. Something fresh. Something that would allow me to discover alternative music, find new artists, or give me a few extra benefits aside from just music streaming. I’ve tested more or less every music streaming app over the years, and although a lot of them seem the same at first glance

The world’s top artificial intelligence groups are stepping up their focus on so-called world models that can better understand human environments, in the search for new ways to achieve machine “superintelligence.” Google DeepMind, Meta, and Nvidia are among the companies attempting to gain ground in the AI race by developing systems that aim to navigate the physical world by learning from videos and robotic data rather than just language.

This Wireless Tech Could Fix the Most Annoying Thing About Using Wireless Earbuds at Home

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-05 12:00:04

Your phone is usually attached to your hip (in terms of the recent iPhone 17’s Crossbody Strap, I mean that literally). But in the comfort of your own home when you’re trying to unwind and escape your phone with your favorite music, needing to stay in Bluetooth range for your headphones and wireless earbuds can be a little annoying. Qualcomm’s audio engineers are trying to solve that issue by seamlessly switching to Wi-Fi if you travel away from your audio source. Sure, that sounds neat, but the

6 things Spotify gets right that YouTube Music doesn’t

Andy Walker / Android Authority YouTube Music always feels like that niche music streaming service that only the nerd in your friend group is using. I am that nerd in my group, by the way. I’m a fan of YouTube Music purely because of its vast library — and I’m not talking about the official 100 million or so songs it hosts. I mean the billions of unnamed, unknown, obscure music videos with 5,000 views that I can slip into my YouTube Music playlists. Not gonna lie, it’s a huge flex for me that I

Spotify’s Attempt to Fight AI Slop Falls on Its Face

It’s been clear for a while that a deluge of AI slop is drowning out real music and human artists on Spotify. The platform has become overrun by bots and AI-spun trickery, which have actively been scamming revenue from real bands. Earlier this year, a self-proclaimed “indie rock band” called The Velvet Sundown racked up millions of streams on the streaming service using AI-generated songs. Weeks later, the company was caught populating the profiles of long-dead artists with new AI-generated so

Spotify’s new filter aims to keep AI slop out of your playlists

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-09 00:17:11

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Spotify is addressing AI content on its platform with the rollout of new policies and tools. There are three areas of focus: reducing AI slop, stopping impersonation, and disclosing whether AI was used to make a track. The music spam filter will be released this fall. AI music creators, like Suno AI, are on the rise. And with that surge in popularity, streaming services, like Spotify, are getting bogged down by increasing levels of AI-generated content.
