Here's a sound editing technique to eliminate hum that I made up that I'm so proud of: sing the hum into a pitch finder; look up the frequency and notch filter it out. Not completely gone? Add the harmonics to the filter. I feel like a sound editing genius when I do this!

The beauty part is, you can say anything about AI, and then six months later say you were right about AI. I was right about AI.

In 2005, I went to a party on a subway train to commemorate the line's decommissioning. It was called "1 Last Time for the 9," but Google's only results for that phrase are Ariana Grande. There's something poignant there about the "all-seeing eye" of the Internet, or maybe I'm just middle aged.

Guys! I'm subscribing to things in 2026. Just subscribed to the Verge today. Am I early or late to this party? Extra data: I also have been a Wired subscriber since 1996 I've let my New Yorker subscription lapse three times, most recently because I don't want to be interested in rich people's kids

A Mysterious Numbers Station Is Broadcasting Through the Iran War
First heard as US and Israeli strikes on Iran began, the shortwave broadcast has since been traced to a US military base in Germany—but its purpose and its operator remain unclear.

Everyone's all on Sam Reich to bring Taskmaster back to the US, but he already has a game show. Off the back of his Philadelphia win last night, I wanna see Chris Gethard take a swing.

When you see the title Super Mario Bros., do you pronounce the “Bros.” as “bros” or “brothers”? I do the latter and it never would have occurred to me to do the former, but I just listened to a podcast that went “bro.”

Going back through our archives, I found some scenes from Luzhou, Sichuan Province from 2011. The city is significantly more modernized these days. But we have some good memories from when we first arrived in China.
