Apple spotted filming in 3D at iPhone 17 launch

9to5mac.com Dylan Mcdonald 2025-09-21 02:49:16

Apple may be making a special video for Apple Vision Pro owners. At any big Apple retail launch, Apple’s cameras are usually rolling. This typically results in a short montage video, such as this one recently shared by Tim Cook. However, during yesterday’s iPhone 17 and iPhone Air launch, something extra was spotted at Apple The Grove in Los Angeles: Apple is filming the iPhone 17 launch day in Immersive Spatial Video for the Apple Vision Pro! 🤩🤩 pic.twitter.com/jEViVRuo2L — Om Chachad (@Th

Vapor chamber tech keeps iPhone 17 Pro cool

news.ycombinator.com Gwendolyn Rak 2025-09-20 13:50:58

On 9 September, Apple introduced its newest lineup, including the iPhone 17 series. Much of the attention went to a new ultrathin model and a bright orange color option (a shade not dissimilar to that of the IEEE Spectrum logo). The new smartphones will also ship with the latest operating system and its “Liquid Glass” software design—but the liquid in these phones goes beyond software. The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max contain thin, hermetically sealed chambers with a drop of water inside

Were RNNs all we needed? A GPU programming perspective

news.ycombinator.com Dhruv Sheth 2025-09-18 16:47:15

Resource Link Project Repository GitHub For my final project in CS179: GPU Programming, I decided to implement the paper “Were RNNs All We Needed?” by Feng et al. The paper’s core claim is that by making minor simplifications to LSTMs and GRUs, their recurrence can be expressed in a form amenable to the parallel scan algorithm. This changes their training and inference from an $O(T)$ sequential process into an $O(\log T)$ parallel one, which helps with GPU acceleration. My goal was to verify t

Slavery After Abolition: Revolt on the Amelia

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-17 05:39:10

On the morning of 20 January 1811, somewhere off the west coast of Africa, the crew aboard the Amelia ordered the ship’s captives onto the deck. Much like every other morning, they planned to impose a strict routine of exercise, meals, and then confinement back belowdecks. But that day, things would be different. As the captives clambered from their confines in the hull and into the morning sun, the crew looked on in horror: they were armed with wooden planks. By nightfall, the ship was under ne

iFixit iPhone Air teardown

news.ycombinator.com Elizabeth Chamberlain 2025-09-21 03:09:47

To be honest, we were holding our breath for the iPhone Air. Thinner usually means flimsier, harder to fix, and more glued-down parts. But the iPhone Air proves otherwise. Apple has somehow built its thinnest iPhone ever without tanking repairability. Just a few months ago, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge pulled off a similar trick in an ultra-thin package. How’d they do it? And how’d Apple follow suit? The secret: Thinner can actually be more repairable, with clever design. A thin phone party! Fro

Anker debuts three new charging essentials for iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and more

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-09-20 23:54:46

Yesterday, Anker released its new 35W Nano charger for iPhone users. It’s rather slim, can charge up to two devices at once, and offers a built-in cable – which is rather nifty. This companies two additional charging products released earlier this month to accompany the new iPhone 17 launch, though the new products are for everyone. Typically, this would be a full hands-on post accompanied with a first impressions, but unfortunately USPS decided that I didn’t deserve to get my package on time.

Chrome is Google’s first iPhone app with Liquid Glass

With the launch of iOS 26 earlier this week, Google Chrome 141 rolled out with Liquid Glass tweaks on iPhone and iPad. As a reminder, Chrome for iOS has a pretty different interface and experience from the Android version. Beyond getting the bottom address bar in October 2023 (vs. July 2025), there’s a unique Tab Grid and bottom sheet menu (see below).

Philips announces digital pathology scanner with native DICOM JPEG XL output

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-21 01:00:11

DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is the international standard for medical images and related patient information. Because digital pathology is a relatively new imaging modality compared to radiology and others, there was no established DICOM standard in place. As a result, vendors created their own proprietary formats. Today, Philips announced that it is expanding its SG300 and SG60 scanner offering with the Pathology Scanner SGi with configurable DICOM JPEG and DICOM JPE

The original 128K Mac from 1984 came with a single Motorola 68000 processor running at 8 MHz that could only run one app at a time. Yet today’s Macs come with multiple CPU cores that can comfortably run several substantial apps simultaneously, while running a Time Machine backup and other tasks in the background. This brief history outlines the journey between them. A processor with a single core and no support for multi-tasking runs one sequence of instructions at a time. When those call for a

OpenAI Tries to Train AI Not to Deceive Users, Realizes It's Instead Teaching It How to Deceive Them While Covering Its Tracks

OpenAI researchers tried to train the company's AI to stop "scheming" — a term the company defines as meaning "when an AI behaves one way on the surface while hiding its true goals" — but their efforts backfired in an ominous way. In reality, the team found, they were unintentionally teaching the AI how to more effectively deceive humans by covering its tracks.
