When Did Nature Burst into Vivid Color?

news.ycombinator.com Molly Herring 2026-02-12 16:09:09

In the animal kingdom, there is incredible variation in visual perception. What an animal sees depends on the structure of its retina and its neural visual processing system. Most insects can see ultraviolet, blue and green light, but there is wide variety among arthropods; mantis shrimp eyes have up to 12 different channels of color, revealing the ultraviolet spectrum and polarized light. The ancestor of living vertebrates could likely detect red, purple, blue and green — an ability that was ma

Nothing fans are mixed on the Phone 3’s leaked design, but what do you think?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-20 20:58:25

Nothing is expected to launch the Nothing Phone 3 tomorrow (July 1), and we already know that the phone will have a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset and a 50MP periscope camera. However, Android Headlines posted apparent Nothing Phone 3 renders last week (seen above), and it certainly seems to have drawn a polarizing response online. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that the sentiment has been overwhelmingly negative, with people calling it “ugly” and “awful.” One Redditor even called it an “abomina

Cell Towers Can Double as Cheap Radar Systems for Ports and Harbors (2014)

How do you see ships without a pricey radar system? The question has troubled seaports around the world as they work to improve security. Without radar installations, it can be hard for port employees to detect small ships like those employed by pirates or by the terrorists who attacked the USS Cole in 2000. A team of researchers in Germany can now offer security teams a new option, though: putting existing cellular towers to work as quick and dirty radar systems. Developed at the Fraunhofer In

The Perils of 'Design Thinking'

On the first day of a required class for freshman design majors at Carnegie Mellon, my professor stood in front of a lecture hall of earnest, nervous undergraduates and asked, “Who here thinks that design can change the world?” Several hands shot up, including mine. After a few seconds of silence, he advanced to the next slide of his presentation: a poster by the designer Frank Chimero that read, Design won’t save the world.

The Nothing Phone 3 might have the weirdest camera design out there

But a new set of supposed Nothing Phone 3 images reveal a different design — with one of the wildest camera layouts I’ve ever seen.

Nothing’s Phone 3 Hasn’t Even Launched and It’s Already Pissing People Off

Graphic artists in China push back on AI and its averaging effect

theverge.com Gus Rick 2026-02-23 05:00:00

Sendi Jia, a designer running her own studio between Beijing, China, and London, England, says she mainly uses AI generators like DALL-E to make fake photos for background panels or websites when her clients don’t have access to real ones. That’s helped clients with limited budgets, but it’s also exposed just how much of the creative process AI can replace. Recently, a potential client working in a university contacted Jia about creating the logo for a new project. Then, they changed their mind.
