Isn’t that practically what all of us go through these days? Phones and gimbals have taken over travel and adventure way more than before, and this isn’t good. However, necessity has forever been the power of invention, so here we go—a camera headset. Let’s get down to the basics. Most of the time, we expect a camera headset to shoot pictures and video for us, hands-free. Where? Practically anywhere. Diving, hiking, biking, whatever…

Earlier this year, a wave of new AI coding capabilities crystallized a shift that had been building for months: LLMs began to look capable of replacing – not just augmenting – enterprise software. The idea that AI could “eat” SaaS moved from speculation to something closer to inevitability, sparking what many dubbed the “SaaSpocalypse.” However, we’re not there yet. On their own, LLMs remain unreliable for deterministic, repeatable workflows. Tasks like invoicing, routing requests, or enforcing SLAs still require traditional logic. Agents excel in ambiguity, not precision. Left unchecked, they hallucinate, misinterpret, and drift. For LLMs to truly replace enterprise…

David Hou, PexelsYou want to swim faster. Like, you want your 100 splits to actually drop, week over week. Maybe you’re chasing a Masters cutoff, or just sick of your friend beating you by three seconds every single lap. I’ve been there and am here to give you my two cents on the best fitness trackers for swimming to improve lap times and techniqueI’ve researched this space meticulously, and the difference between a tracker that improves your lap times and one that just displays a number is bigger than people think. So this one’s personal — I’m picky about gear…

A yet-to-be-announced Samsung Galaxy M-series phone emerged in a Geekbench listing, and it brings a surprising chipset choice. The Samsung Galaxy SM-M676K, which is speculated to be the Galaxy M67, is seen rocking the Exynos 2200. That’s the same Samsung flagship SoC from 2022, which we saw on the Galaxy S22 series and Galaxy S23 FE later on. Galaxy SM-M676K Geekbench listing As a reminder, this is a 4nm chip featuring a 1+3+4 CPU setup with a max frequency clock of 2.8GHz. It also brought an Xclipse GPU (based on AMD RDNA2 architecture) and was the first mobile GPU with…

These days, the frontier AI labs are all racing to build self-improving models. Some believe it’s the surest route to superintelligence—as AI improves itself in a mind-melting loop, the thinking goes, it will eventually surpass human comprehension (and perhaps even control).That’s all well and good, but I have a newsletter to produce. I wondered if recursive self-improvement might also be useful for me. Could I use AI to train and continually improve a model that automates some of this newsletter’s busywork?After a week or so of experimenting, the answer appears to be a resounding—and surprising—hell yes. What’s more, dabbling with…
