Add as a preferred source on Google


A Hollywood based “music lifestyle brand” by the name of V-Moda recently unveiled some new earphones which they feel offer “state-of-the-art audio on the go”. The Vibe modaphones come in two colors – black and chrome – and are priced at $101.

The V-Moda Vibe modaphones sport a noise isolating, in-ear design which comes with three sizes of soft silicon fittings in clear and black colors. V-Moda is positioning these earphones as a fashion accessory “on par with high fashion jewelry” and to that end they sport a polished metal finish and sleek, stylish look.

These earphones, which weigh only 12 grams, are designed to bring vibrant sound at all levels of the spectrum through the use of several tricks. One is in the design itself through the alloy metal enabling a sculpted sound curve, according to V-Moda. Also thrown into their bag of better sound tricks are precise bass levels and dynamic driver technology.

On the noise isolation front, the Vibe modeaphones extend beyond just an in-ear approach helping to block out unwanted sounds which could interfere with your listening experience. Integrated BLISS (bass level isolating soft silicone) technology, according to V-Moda, works to reduce noise and enable deep bass without introducing white noise or needing batteries. The end result is a bass frequency in the range of 12Hz to 22Hz.

The Vibe modaphones come with a cable manager to help adjust the length of the “sport-optimized” lightweight cables, which consist of a 32” plug to y connector and 13.5” even-length cables. Other included accessories are a leather gold carrying pouch and a special VIP card which provides access to V-Moda specific offerings such as music and gear.

Military working dogs charge into places the rest of us would flee. So, I understand why anyone would want to breed tougher, healthier dogs for the job.

Warhound, a new startup from Colossal Biosciences co-founder Ben Lamm and Anduril co-founder Palmer Luckey, has stepped out of stealth with $200 million to clone and gene-edit working dogs for American troops, police departments, and emergency services (via TechCrunch).

AI can describe a picture, but it still struggles to understand blind users
A University of Maryland study finds that Be My AI often buries useful answers in lengthy descriptions, leaving blind users to work harder to get the information they need.

AI can describe a picture, identify objects, and answer questions about what a camera sees. But when a blind user needs a quick answer, getting an entire spoken essay about the scene isn't exactly helpful. Researchers at the University of Maryland (UMD) have found that AI-powered visual assistance can leave blind users doing too much work to get the information they actually need.

The study, titled Say It My Way: Exploring Control in Conversational Visual Question Answering with Blind Users, examined how people interact with Be My AI, an AI-powered feature of the Be My Eyes app. The researchers found that users often received lengthy descriptions that didn't adequately address their immediate goals, forcing them to ask follow-up questions or find ways to steer the AI towards a more useful answer.

Platforms tend to shrug off AI clutter until it threatens what they sell. For Etsy, that thing is trust in the maker.

To protect that, Etsy has banned AI-generated how-to guides and listings made entirely by bots. Most sellers must show at least one unretouched photo of the item (via Etsy Seller Handbook).
