I’d argue this is nothing new. I recall coming across some truly horrendous stuff on LiveLeak, Reddit, and even YouTube when I was a child. Most of the time, I was not looking for it. The Internet is no place for the developing mind…

Anyone who read the thread will see that the OP pretty much dropped it after Nirav’s response. Framework is a tiny company without a PR machine for these occasions, and I doubt they knowingly sponsored a project based on the developers’ political ideologies. Let’s all take some deep breaths.

I had the first and second generation AirPods Pros, and both unfortunately had this issue. I’ve read reports from others online that it also occurs on Beats earbuds. Something to do with the ANC hardware.

At any rate, I think the Sony buds are just as good in terms of sound quality and ANC. Their version of “Transparency Mode” isn’t quite as nice, but that’s not a dealbreaker for me.

I just bought a pair of Sony WF-100XM5 earbuds because every pair of AirPods I’ve owned since 2019 has experienced the dreaded rumbling. I wonder if they fixed it with this version…

If you’re fortunate enough to live near a well-funded library, you can peruse their new arrivals section for CDs. That’s how I discover new artists

I’m hoping this takes off!

Do you plan to offer a browser extension for those who would enjoy the Fediverse integration but don’t want to run a custom fork?

I also experienced screen tearing on every Pebble unit I owned. If they fix this, I’ll absolutely buy a new one

So the administration wants to win the AI race through deregulation, except they want to regulate its social compass. Make it make sense

The word you’re looking for is douchebag

Their point about the streets may actually be valid. I don’t know anything about the roads in China, but many European cities are notoriously hostile to automobiles.

Unfortunately, online gaming spaces seem to have always been a breeding ground for all kinds of toxic behavior

Yeah… I won’t even lie, I think at some point it’s for the best we hand the keys to society to the machines. Maybe not the current generation, but eventually 😂

It’s because the morons running the country don’t think that constitutional freedoms apply to non-citizens. No freedom of speech if your speech hurts their feelings. Fuckin aye

Fuck that noise

On my Mac mini running LM Studio, it managed 1702 tokens at 17.19 tok/sec and thought for 1 minute. If accurate, high-performance models were more able to run on consumer hardware, I would use my 3060 as a dedicated inference device

the Chinese AI lab also released a smaller, “distilled” version of its new R1, DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B, that DeepSeek claims beats comparably sized models on certain benchmarks

Most models come in 1B, 7-8B, 12-14B, and 27+B parameter variants. According to the docs, they benchmarked the 8B model using an NVIDIA H20 (96 GB VRAM) and got between 144-1198 tokens/sec. Most consumer GPUs probably aren’t going to be able to keep up with

On one hand, it’s inane how hard Anthropic is trying to anthropomorphize Claude with these experiments and scenarios. It’s still just a chatbot. On the other hand, as these products inch closer to demonstrating true intelligence, we’ll be glad someone was at least thinking about the implications during the early stages of development.

You can easily sync your personal music collection to your iOS device using the macOS “Music” app in tandem with the Finder, or using iTunes on Windows. I’ve not explored the options on Linux, but I suspect they’re out there.

I’ve got a personal collection that’s growing steadily, mostly from CDs and digital purchases. I do not use steaming services, and my iPhone is my primarily listening device.

I am generally opposed to the integration of generative AI in consumer hardware, since it doesn’t have much practical utility at this point.

However, the features described in this article mostly have to do with extracting information from images. This is actually quite useful! For example, macOS allows users to select text and automatically mask objects from images. It’s a feature I use heavily and wish other operating systems had good support for.
