This $10 watch band made my Galaxy Watch 8 Classic so much better

Joe Maring / Android Authority I’ve been wearing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic for a little over two weeks (my review is coming soon), and my experience with the smartwatch has been great so far. The Watch 8 Classic looks fantastic, it’s loaded to the brim with health features, and the rotating bezel is oh-so-good. However, throughout the majority of my time wearing the smartwatch, I haven’t been using the leather watch band that came included in the box. Instead, I’ve been wearing the Ga

PHP compile time generics: yay or nay?

One of the most sought-after features for PHP is Generics: The ability to have a type that takes another type as a parameter. It's a feature found in most compiled languages by now, but implementing generics in an interpreted language like PHP, where all the type checking would have to be done at runtime, has always proven Really Really Hard(tm), Really Really Slow(tm), or both. But, experimentation by the PHP Foundation's dev team suggests we may be able to get 80% of the benefit for 20% of th

Congressperson Urges NASA to Send Its Jupiter Probe Chasing in Pursuit of the Weird Visitor Coming From Interstellar Space

Earlier this year, astronomers spotted a mysterious interstellar object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, hurtling through the solar system at a blistering speed. It's only the third confirmed interstellar object to have ventured into our solar system — all over the past few years, owing to more sophisticated space-observing technology — and scientists are eager to have a closer look.

Quantum Computers Are Here and They’re Real. You Just Haven’t Noticed Yet

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-12-01 23:00:22

The promise of quantum computers appears to be that they will upend modern computing as we know it. With exceptional computational power, they’ll be performing feats unimaginable for any classical supercomputer. The reality of quantum computers hasn’t quite lived up to its hype, however. Claims of “quantum advantage”—problems regular computers can’t solve but quantum computers can—draw criticism from both skeptics and enthusiasts in the field.

As the mysterious interstellar object known as 3I/ATLAS plummets through our Solar System, NASA's good old Hubble Space Telescope has captured the best look yet at the interstellar visitor. On July 21, the interstellar interloper passed close enough to Earth — and to Hubble, which orbits us at about 320 miles above the planet — that the veteran space telescope was able to capture a surprisingly detailed image of it, NASA explains in a statement about the image.

Ask HN: How can ChatGPT serve 700M users when I can't run one GPT-4 locally?

Sam said yesterday that chatgpt handles ~700M weekly users. Meanwhile, I can't even run a single GPT-4-class model locally without insane VRAM or painfully slow speeds. Sure, they have huge GPU clusters, but there must be more going on - model optimizations, sharding, custom hardware, clever load balancing, etc. What engineering tricks make this possible at such massive scale while keeping latency low? Curious to hear insights from people who've built large-scale ML systems.

Some areas are more prone to lightning storms than others. It's 2017, and a thunderstorm shoots off a lightning bolt. What's so special about that, you ask? Well, the bolt is an astonishing 515 miles (829 kilometers) long.
