Spotify copies Apple Music’s AutoMix feature before iOS 26 even ships

9to5mac.com Chance Miller 2025-11-10 11:27:00

One of my favorite features in iOS 26 is AutoMix for Apple Music, which uses artificial intelligence to create DJ-like transitions between songs.

In a blog post, Spotify explains that the feature allows users to create unique transitions between playlist songs by customizing things like volume, EQ, and effect curves

It's time for modern CSS to kill the SPA

news.ycombinator.com Jono Alderson 2025-12-25 00:08:00

It’s time for modern CSS to kill the SPA Native CSS transitions have quietly killed the strongest argument for client-side routing. Yet people keep building terrible apps instead of performant websites. The app-like fallacy “Make it feel like an app.” At some point during the scoping process, someone says the words. A CMO.

New York’s bill banning One-Person Train Operation

news.ycombinator.com Blair Lorenzo 2026-01-07 00:33:47

The New York State Legislature has just passed a bill (S4091/A04873) that would lock New York City’s transit system in the past. This bill, which would require a conductor to be on board every train operated by New York City Transit, is the technological equivalent of requiring every elevator in the city to still be staffed by an elevator operator. If you take other transit systems both across the country and around the world, you'll quickly realize that two-person train operation (TPTO) is an o
