In Brief The massive Las Vegas venue known as Sphere will be screening its first classic movie, “The Wizard of Oz,” starting on August 28. And as detailed in a segment on CBS Sunday Morning, this isn’t just a matter of taking the existing movie and projecting it on Sphere’s 160,000 square foot, wraparound LED screen. Instead, Sphere Entertainment CEO James Dolan said a 2,000-person team is creating a new experience. That includes using AI to both increase the resolution of the existing film an

July 27, 2025 The many, many, many JavaScript runtimes of the last decade This last decade has seen an inundation of new JavaScript runtimes (and engines in equal measure), enabling us to run JavaScript in all manner of contexts with precise fitness for task.

Nearly five full years after Marvel Studios first planted its flag and announced it was coming, the Fantastic Four finally made their MCU debut this weekend. Given the last tries at bringing these heroes to the big screen, and how Marvel treated those characters back when it didn’t own them, it seemed there wasn’t really anywhere for the Four to go but up.

A ‘Grand Unified Theory’ of Math Just Got a Little Bit Closer

“We mostly believe that all the conjectures are true, but it’s so exciting to see it actually realized,” said Ana Caraiani, a mathematician at Imperial College London. “And in a case that you really thought was going to be out of reach.” It’s just the beginning of a hunt that will take years—mathematicians ultimately want to show modularity for every abelian surface.

Implementing dynamic scope for Fennel and Lua

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-03 14:49:58

I’m continuing my work on fennel-cljlib, my port of clojure.core and some other core libraries, focusing on porting missing functions and features to it. One such feature, which I sometimes miss in Lua and Fennel, is dynamic binding. The Lua VM doesn’t provide dynamic scoping as a language feature, and Fennel itself doesn’t introduce any concepts like Clojure’s Var . However, we can still implement dynamic scoping that works similarly to Clojure and other Lisps using the debug library. Most of

To meet modern demands, processors must be entirely reimagined, breaking free from the constraints that have plagued computing for decades.

Fast and cheap bulk storage: using LVM to cache HDDs on SSDs

Since the inception of solid-state drives (SSDs), there has been a choice to make—either use SSDs for vastly superior speeds, especially with non-sequential read and writes (“random I/O”), or use legacy spinning rust hard disk drives (HDDs) for cheaper storage that’s a bit slow for sequential I/O and painfully slow for random I/O. The idea of caching frequently used data on SSDs and storing the rest on HDDs is nothing new—solid-state hybrid drives (SSHDs) embodied this idea in hardware form, wh

In sledgehammer every operation is encoded as a sequence of bytes packed into an array. Every operation takes 1 byte plus whatever data is required for it. Each operation is encoded in a batch of four as a u32. Getting a number from an array buffer has a high constant cost, but getting a u32 instead of a u8 is not more expensive. Sledgehammer bindgen reads the u32 and then splits it into the 4 individual bytes. It will shuffle and pack the bytes into as few buckets as possible and try to inline
