Insta360 Go Ultra Review: This Tiny Action Camera Got Swacked by a Sword, and Survived

2025 My brother punched his rapier toward my head. The blade missed me by inches, but the clever duelist swiped down and chopped at my crown, sending the $450 action camera attached to my fencing mask spinning away. The magnetic pod for Insta360’s Go Ultra tumbled to the floor, the light still blinking red, still recording. His sword left a gash along the side of the lens and a scuff on plastic. The camera still works, so if you were wondering how durable the Go Ultra is, know that it passed th

"The totality of these issues demonstrate a repeated pattern of food safety negligence that jeopardized Americans’ public health, and sadly, lives were lost," the lawmakers wrote in the letter. While calling the ongoing, repeated problems "appalling," they said they were "less than confident" that the Jarratt plant could safely reopen.

Implicit ODE solvers are not universally more robust than explicit ODE solvers

news.ycombinator.com Christopher Rackauckas 2025-10-17 04:41:51

A very common adage in ODE solvers is that if you run into trouble with an explicit method, usually some explicit Runge-Kutta method like RK4, then you should try an implicit method. Implicit methods, because they are doing more work, solving an implicit system via a Newton method having “better” stability, should be the thing you go to on the “hard” problems. This is at least what I heard at first, and then I learned about edge cases. Specifically, you hear people say “but for hyperbolic PDEs

Dayvi Schuster 12 min read Tuesday, September 9, 2025 In Defense of C++ Why C++ remains a powerful and relevant programming language in today's tech landscape. The Reputation of C++ C++ has often and frequently been criticized for its complexity, steep learning curve, and most of all for its ability to allow the developers using it to not only shoot themselves in the foot, but to blow off their whole leg in the process. But do these criticisms hold up under scrutiny? Well, in this blog post,

Amateurs Using AI to “Vibe Code” Are Now Begging Real Programmers to Fix Their Botched Software

Welcome to the future, where the vibes are bad in almost every meaningful respect — but where you do, at the very least, get to "vibe code," or use an AI model to write code and even build entire pieces of software. But rarely does the process go smoothly enough for prime time.
