Slop yourself. | Image: Suno Suno just released one of its biggest updates yet with v5.5 of its AI music model. Where previous updates focused mostly on improving fidelity and creating more natural vocals, v5.5 is about giving users more control. It includes three new features: Voices, My Taste, and Custom Models.
In the release notes, Suno says that Voices is its most requested feature. It lets users train the vocal model on their own voice. They can upload clean accapellas, finished tracks with backing music, or just sing directly into the mic on their phone or laptop. The cleaner and higher quality the recording, the less data is required. And to prevent someone fro …

A heavy bag swings, gloves snap against leather, and the rhythm builds, three minutes on, one minute off. After six weeks of this pattern, something quieter changed inside the body. There was a drastic decrease in blood pressure. That is the result of a randomized controlled trial conducted by scientists from the University of Texas in El Paso that examines short-term boxing training and how it changes the cardiovascular profile of young adults who have been found to be pre-hypertensive. “Hypertension is the foremost cause of heart disease and stroke and is also the leading cause of death in young people, and most do not know they have it,” says Alvaro Gurovich (PhD), the lead author of the study....

Like many high-tech companies Tesla runs a bug bounty program. But in the case of a car manufacturer, this means that you either already have one of their cars, are interested in buying one, or can gain access to its software-bits in another legal manner. Being a Tesla-less individual, yet with an interest in hunting bugs [David Schütz] thus decided to pursue the option of obtaining the required parts from crashed Tesla cars. Specifically [David] was interested in the Tesla Model 3 and its combined Media Control Unit (MCU) and Autopilot computer (AAP) assembly. In addition to the main unit, it also requires – obviously – a power supply, and the proprietary display. These were all obtained fairly easily,...

On Jupiter, a storm doesn’t just brew, it can simmer for centuries. The planet’s atmosphere is a perpetual engine of turbulence, and somewhere inside those churning cloud bands, lightning is cracking with a force that dwarfs anything the Earth has ever managed. Just how much force has been, until recently, surprisingly hard to measure. A study published March 20 in the journal AGU Advances by planetary scientist Michael Wong and colleagues at UC Berkeley’s Space Sciences Laboratory finally puts some numbers to it, and the range is staggering. Depending on how you account for the physics of radio emissions across different frequency ranges, bolts on Jupiter could be anywhere from comparable to terrestrial...

Amazon loves to manufacture an event. March is historically a dry spell for deals; however, with Amazon’s third annual Big Spring Sale, which runs through March 31st, the retail behemoth is hoping to lure in would-be shoppers with the promise of steep(ish) savings and discounts on more seasonal, spring-centric items to hold folks over until Prime Day surfaces at the onset of summer. The bulk of the deals we’re seeing right now aren’t quite on par with Black Friday or Prime Day, and, as with most shopping events, not everything on sale is worth picking up. That said, Amazon’s latest sale is one of the first big opportunities we’ve seen this year to save — and bypass some tariff-induced pain —...

Turns out, it’s not easy for other companies to duplicate all that SteelSeries got right with this one — mixing multiple audio sources, active noise cancellation, a retractable mic, hot-swappable batteries, and more. Normally priced at $379.99, it’s down to $299.99 at Amazon during the company’s Big Spring Sale that lasts through April 1st at 2:59AM ET.

Three hundred million years ago, dragonfly-like creatures with wingspans stretching 70 centimeters patrolled the skies of a world nothing like our own. These griffinflies, as paleontologists call them, were the largest flying insects ever to exist, roughly five times the size of any dragonfly alive today. For three decades, scientists thought they knew why such animals could never return: modern air simply doesn’t contain enough oxygen to power them. New research published in Nature dismantles that explanation entirely. A team working across five years and more than a thousand microscope images has found that the respiratory structures of insect flight muscles occupy so little anatomical space that insects...

Hackers can be a strange folk. Our idea of beauty, for instance, can be rather odd. This week, Hackaday saw a few projects that were not just functional – the aesthetics were the goal. I don’t think we’ll be taking over the fine art world any time soon, but I’m absolutely convinced that the same muse that guides the hand that holds the paintbrush sometimes also guides the hand holding the soldering iron.
Take “circuit sculpture”, for instance. Heck, we even give it an art-inspired name that classifies it correctly. This week’s project that got me thinking about the aesthetics of hand-bent wire circuits was this marvelous clock build, but the works of Mohit Bhoite or Kelly Heaton are also absolute...

Is social media not just bad, but illegally bad? Should tech companies pay for making it that way? According to two US juries - and no shortage of outside commentary - the answer to both questions is "yes."
Earlier this week, two juries - one in New Mexico, one in Los Angeles - held Meta liable for a total of hundreds of millions of dollars for harming minors. YouTube was also found liable in Los Angeles, and both companies are appealing their losses. In one sense, the decisions were surprising. Meta and Google operate platforms for transmitting speech and are typically protected in a variety of ways by Section 230 and the First Amendment; …

Samsung, like many companies using generative AI in their advertising, hasn’t placed an AI label on several videos shared through its TikTok accounts, and the fine print doesn’t always contain the answers. | Image by Samsung I've been struggling to tell whether the ads appearing in my TikTok feeds have been made with generative AI tools. As someone who spends a great deal of time scrutinizing images and videos for the usual "tells" that something was synthetically generated, some of the promotions I've seen have definitely sparked suspicion.

Getting to Mars is difficult. Conceiving a child there could be even tougher than expected. A recent study led by researchers from University of Adelaide has demonstrated that simulated microgravity conditions can have an adverse effect on sperm navigating through the reproductive tracts of multiple mammalian species, including humans. Even when those sperm are able to swim normally, the effect still occurs. The research, published in the journal Communications Biology, represents the first time that sperm have been tested for their ability to navigate through a space that simulates a microgravity environment. The results of this study represent an unusual convergence of two fields, reproductive biology and...

Although not really a cost-effective or a required skill unless you have some very specific needs not met by off-the-shelf power resistor options, making your own own wirewound power resistor is definitely educational, as well as a fascinating look at a common part that few people spare a thought on. Cue [TheElectronBench]’s video tutorial on how to make one of these components from scratch.
The resistance value is determined by the length of nichrome wire, which is an alloy of nickel and chromium (NiCr) with a resistivity of around 1.12 µΩ/m. It’s also extremely durable when heated, as it forms a protective outer layer of chromium oxide. This makes it suitable for very high power levels, but also...

As [reassembler] continues his quest to de-assemble Sonic: The Hedgehog and re-assemble the code to run on Amiga, getting the music right is a key challenge.

He’s also made a video about it that you’ll find embedded below.

It gives you the comfort of a labeled universe, one where galaxies, stars and planets sit at fixed intervals inside a giant cosmic grid. Might be time to ease up on that confidence. Einstein, Juan Maldacena, Mark Van Raamsdonk, Brian Swingle and other physicists have pushed modern physics into a place where distance stops looking like a simple fact and starts looking more like a useful habit of thought.
