gizmodo.com Brittany Vincent 2026-02-08 08:45:22

Digital clutter is one of those things that sneaks up on you. One minute, your computer has plenty of space. The next, you’re frantically struggling to figure out what you need to delete so you can save your latest file or photo. And it doesn’t have to be that way. Here’s the good news. You can just get an external hard drive to hold everything if you prefer, and it doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg to do that. It’s actually not that expensive either, especially with Prime Day going on.

The era of exploration

news.ycombinator.com Yiding Jiang 2026-02-07 15:23:57

Large language models are the unintended byproduct of about three decades worth of freely accessible human text online. Ilya Sutskever compared this reservoir of information to fossil fuel, abundant but ultimately finite. Some studies suggest that, at current token‑consumption rates, frontier labs could exhaust the highest‑quality English web text well before the decade ends. Even if those projections prove overly pessimistic, one fact is clear: today’s models consume data far faster than humans

Man of Glass: Boccaccio: A Biography

In early June 1363, Giovanni Boccaccio received a letter that stung him deeply. Just a few days shy of his fiftieth birthday, he was then at the height of his creative powers. He had already penned at least a dozen major works, including the Decameron, any one of which would have assured him a place alongside Dante and Petrarch in the firmament of Italian literature. Although recent political upheavals had forced him to leave his native Florence, he was still writing feverishly. Yet to his frien

Anamorphosis refers to a category of images that are intentionally distorted, making them unrecognizable when viewed directly. Their true form only reveals itself when seen from a specific viewpoint, which can be through some catadioptric device like a mirror or a lens. While the construction of these mathematical devices can be traced back to as early as the 17th century, they are only interpretable when viewed from a specific vantage point and tend to lose meaning when seen normally.
