You can try before you buy. You can use an equalizer to tune your current IEMs to the pair you’re buying

There’s a tool online you can use:

Why would you take an expert’s opinion instead of just listening yourself?

You can eq to the fr of the thing you’re buying and just listen if you like it.


I meant the Apple 3.5mm to usb-c dongle, which does the same job for $9

Of course, if you know that this other one world’s for you, by all means


I replied because I researched the topic myself in the past


If you use it for multiple devices it’s obviously doing more work! But you can just buy two and never disconnect them


The listing is wrong, they have no active noise cancelation:

They are fine for the price, but I don’t like nondetachable cables




It says headphones, but they are actually earphones

I can’t for the life of me to find a frequency response graph. I can’t recommend buying anything without a measurement since you would be buying blind

Here is how you should look for earphones:

  1. Buy something with a replaceable cable so it lasts longer. The cable usually breaks first and it’s the cheapest part.

  2. You can buy DSP earphones with a replaceable cable, but I haven’t found anything cheap that sounds as good as the 3.5mm connection (which means the DSP sucks). So buy a dongle separately, like the Apple one or something of similar quality

  3. Find the frequency response graph. You can see how your current equipment graphs and compare. You can even use an equalizer (in software) to adjust to what you’re buying

If you want my suggestion, buy CCA Trio and the Apple dongle. Although maybe it’s expensive after tariffs, lol

KZ Castor for a cheaper option



It’s basically just his opinion. He started three biggest database of measurements, but he’s not going them anymore so other reviewers have replaced him

Also I have heard the DSP version doesn’t have the best sound quality. I have another cheap pair of DSP IEMs and they sound better with 3.5mm (DSP adds ringing and noise artifacts)

I bought a standalone $13 USB DAC and it sounds perfect to me




Bezos doesn’t run the business anymore. He’s no longer the CEO. While he exploited the workers during his tenure, as a customer I had no complaints when he was CEO. They had only started to enshittify recently


Long before the anticipated sanctions, Liang acquired a substantial stockpile of Nvidia A100 chips, a type now banned from export to China.

That’s how



It’s irrelevant because it wasn’t a precursor technique. The precursor was machine learning research, not other image generation technology


Creating abstract art by moving pixels around is not anywhere close to what we mean by image generation. At no point did this other software generate something from a prompt


Image gen did not exist in any way shape or form before. Now we’re getting video gen like a few years later.

Let’s not forget we started by playing the game of Go better. My prediction as a hobby Go programmer (the game, not language) in 2015 would be that better than human AIs would be there by 2020 and they got there by 2016.

Before the AlphaGo match with Lee Sedol people predicted the AI would just put up a decent fight since a previous version played questionably against a weaker player. It blew one of the best players ever out of the water, losing only one game of the series.

Future matches even against the world #1 with the better models showed it to be invincible against humans

You’re making the same mistake. You’re looking at the current capabilities and predicting a human speed of improvement. AI is improving faster.


the mitigations just have bugs, and bugs can be fixed

I’m not convinced it won’t be a thing of the past after some time


It means that if quantum technology improves, the same technique can break higher bit integers. So it’s in fact broken, we just don’t have the future hardware to execute it on yet.


The issue is they can install spyware after selling their company and if you have automatic updates you’ll get that too



You already have to fork the chromium project to make Brave and degoogled chromium


You can support V3 without limiting the number of filters! The limit is arbitrarily chosen to block fewer ads


Is it, though? A lot of self-taught programmers do great work. I’m not sure this is true


No, because it either runs the program successfully, or it fails to launch. I don’t mess with the protocol. It runs as root because it needs to set the iptables when turned on to be a “global” proxy


Yes, but people with master’s degrees also fuck this up, so it’s not like some accreditation system will solve the issue of people making mistakes


I have to actually modify the code to properly package it for my distro, so it’s engineering because I have to make decisions for how things work



Look, nothing will blow up if I mess up my proxy setup on my machine. I just won’t have internet until I revert my change. Why would that be different if I were getting paid for it?


I have a 280hz monitor and it doesn’t look smooth in motion


Not really? Modern hardware gets almost 1000 fps in rocket league. You don’t need exactly 1000 to get a benefit, even getting 800 fps will give you a smoother experience


Why, you drive a cab for a living so when you get directions you know exactly how to get there from memory?


Yes, but it’s basically placebo if your headphone cable is of a normal length


It’s not so hard, you just run it in your own VPS, open the ports and go

I use a proxy and route all of the packets except DNS through it using iptables
