Not sure why HPR in general might play better than others on wireless speakers. If talking about this particular episode, it was submitted as a .flac file, though as you can see it's been converted to a choice of formats. All other things being equal it could just be the frequency range of the recording. Personally, I still haven't settled on a 'favourite' recording setup, and generally just use whatever equipment is to hand.

LLMs in academic research

I’ve heard about LLMs in academic research but it is not good news. A flood of junk white papers (https://phys.org/news/2024-08-junk-ai-scientific-publishing.html) is the result of LLMs at the moment; spammers ruin everything.
