This video has stunning visuals representing the math behind billiard ball path calculations. What looks chaotic and random at first glance (or even psychedelic) is presented as the visualization of pure mathematical functions.

I'm so bad at billiards that I ended up in the hyperbolic plane [video](youtube.com)

I set this up a while back and am struggling to find the original author. Future readers: note I did not create this theme but discovered it from a fellow HN netizen.

My view: Opus and Sonnet 5 made serious regressions in how they speak to the user. There's a constant stream of complaints about it on Reddit and other forums. The gist is Opus 5 feels like it needs to present itself as smarter than it

Agree, this would probably be great UI for K-6 level educational apps.

GamersNexus released a video comparing the Frame VR vs Meta Quest 3 today, worth a watch for the Frame review alone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcerOYY_K1g

Not an astrophysicist, but since they mentioned the lithium is depleted , I wonder if that implies the collision of a planetary body with a sun would consume or react with the solar lithium.

Great work! I recommend linking to the update video as well (21 hours old at the time of this comment): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToP9xfLDSME

Yes, but I think it's far more sinister than that. It's not just to recoup costs by showing an ad here and there, it's to "own" an advertisement and data collection front in millions of homes across the globe where

Seems that way! Small detail, but I liked that the front display can be used for taking selfies with the main camera. Opens the door for slightly nicer selfies with the self or friends, versus stuck with front camera or shooting blind.

I wonder if the iPhone Air was something like a pilot or beta test for the Duo. Getting things as thin as possible and shipping it before attaching two of them together. FWIW I feel there's more demand for foldables (Google/Samsun

Yes, I also was curious about left-handed users watching the demo, it seems very right-hand oriented at this time. Maybe there will be a toggle in Settings to switch some of the UI around, kind of like how Apple Watch asks which wrist it&#x

I know it's silly but I enjoy listening for the "this is our X-est Y yet" during these events. It's incremental improvements I enjoy, but it's like a mini trope for me.

Yes, I think this is an artifact of the new under-display camera (at least on the inside). The official copy states: > iPhone Duo uses Touch ID, which is integrated into the side button. This gives you an easy, secure, and consistent way

They briefly showed the Duo opened partway like a laptop, and even had a keyboard displayed on the lower portion. Maybe it would be kind of like a smaller GPD Mini but with touchscreen instead of physical keys.

I enjoyed the subtle shade (presumably at Samsung) when they discussed existing foldables having an awkward size, and choosing their new ratios and the asymmetric form factor. One edge square, one edge rounded, so all edges are rounded when

They went over their multi-layer design to give it strength and flexibility, and noted over 100 components in the hinge alone. I'll be looking out for JerryRigEverything on YouTube to see how tough it really is!

This is an older post from June about a Google model, but the same general process applies and they have a couple demo videos: https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/technology/developers-...

It's slow, too. On corporate hardware it can take several seconds for the "new" Notepad to open and actually start rendering keypresses. Instead I use Notepad2 and Notepad++ which are instant on the same hardware, like Notepa

Did he state this in a video somewhere? I checked a couple biography pages but didn't see this specifically called out.

I wonder if this will allow for reviving old SRCDS (Source Dedicated Server) versions. Older versions of popular titles like Counter-Strike: Source would still be playable on their original hardware if the old clients + servers were availab

I love the UI style of HaikuOS, so cool to see new ports like Firefox and a Go runtime in this release. Congrats to the team!

I like how they installed a GPS module into one of the rocks to track its path.

Yes, it's a shame. It's in part due to scrapers and AI. There's a wealth of relevant knowledge inside Reddit, and agents aren't able to easily check there for updates on recent topics.

Yeah, I do wonder how this works for those copying keys and other private strings around. I'd rather they disappear on the next ^c than be pushed into an array somewhere, or worse, stored on disk.

I always liked the feeling of getting a proper video driver installed and unlocking "true color" support, the desktop background and icons were suddenly much richer and saturated.
