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 …

The Israeli military confirms it killed Ali Shoeib from the Hezbollah-affiliated Al Manar TV.

Pour son premier déplacement en Europe, le pontife américain a rencontré la famille princière, devant laquelle il a défendu l’idée d’une foi qui devait lutter contre les inégalités, sans toutefois parvenir à trancher avec le faste monégasque.

Les frappes se sont poursuivies tout au long de cette journée marquée par l’entrée dans le conflit des houthistes du Yémen, qui ont tiré leurs premiers missiles sur Israël, et par une frappe sur une base américaine située en Arabie saoudite.

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,...

The next stage of 'Steel Ball Run' will ride onto Netflix before 2026 ends. But how much will that be, and how will we get it?

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 —...

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless came out almost four years ago, yet it’s still one of the best gaming headsets you can buy. 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.

Mercredi 25 mars, un juge fédéral aux États-Unis a condamné les deux géants de la tech à verser 6 millions de dollars de dommages et intérêts pour mise en danger de la vie de mineurs.

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...

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. For several weeks, I didn't see any examples with the AI disclosure required by TikTok's advertising policies, however, so I had no way of knowing for sure.

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; …

There’s an old saying that goes: when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. [lds133] must have heard that saying, because when life took the magic liquid out of his Magic 8 Ball, [lds133] made not eight-ball-aide, but an electronic replacement with a Raspberry Pi Pico and a round TFT display.
In case the Magic 8 Ball is unknown in some corners of the globe, it is a toy that consists of a twenty-sided die with a set of oracular messages engraved on it, enclosed in a magical blue liquid — and by magical, we mean isopropyl alcohol and dye. The traditional use is to ask a question, shake the eight-ball, and then ignore its advice and do whatever you wanted to do anyway. [lds133]’s version replicates the...

La guerre en Iran ne doit pas être analysée comme l’interaction de quatre acteurs souverains, mais comme un système d’émergence d’interface. Son intelligibilité ne réside ni dans les seules capacités internes d’Israël, des États-Unis, de l’Iran et des pays du Golfe, ni dans le seul volume des échanges hostiles entre eux, mais dans la structure des interfaces qui les couplent.

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...

One thing SEGA’s MegaDrive/Genesis and the Commodore Amiga had in common was–aside from the Motorola 68000 processor– being known for excellent music in games. 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. Rather than pull MIDI info or recreate the sound by ear, [reassembler] has written a program called Sonic2MOD to automatically take the assembly file music from the MegaDrive cartridge and turn it into an Amiga-style MODfile. He’s also made a video about it that you’ll find embedded below.
Of course how music gets made differs widly on the two systems. Amiga, famously has Paula, a custom...

“In response to anthropogenic forcing, the Earth’s surface generally warms as greenhouse gases trap outgoing longwave radiation. Counterintuitively, however, some regions exhibit surface cooling against this global warming background—a phenomenon known as a warming hole. Beyond the well-documented warming holes over the North Atlantic and southeastern United States, here we show that increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations can also induce summertime cooling over India. Due to the direct radiative effect of CO2, warming of the Eurasian continent relative to surrounding oceans, low-level moisture transport and vertical motion are enhanced over India. Combined with abundant summer-monsoon moisture and the...

“Forest growth exceeded harvesting levels in 23 EU countries with available data in 2023. A simple way to gauge whether wood production is sustainable is to compare the amount of wood harvested or otherwise removed in a year with the forest’s natural growth, known as the net annual increment, Eurostat reported on Friday. In 2023, the largest surplus of growth over removals was recorded in Romania at 39.9 million cubic metres, followed by Sweden at 26.4 million and Poland at 26.3 million. Estonia was the only country where removals were higher than growth, with 11.6 million cubic metres removed compared with a net annual increment of 9.1 million.” From The Brussels Times.
