As expected, the series consists of upgrades to past models such as the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. But this generation is shaking things up by introducing the iPhone Air -- a new addition that Apple says is "the thinnest iPhone ever made."

My first impressions of Gleam

I’m looking for a new programming language to learn this year, and Gleam looks like the most fun. It’s an Elixir-like language that supports static typing. I read the language tour, and it made sense to me, but I need to build something before I can judge a programming language well. I’m sharing some notes on my first few hours using Gleam in case they’re helpful to others learning Gleam or to the team developing the language.

A Trick for Backpropagation of Linear Transformations

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-13 12:05:28

Linear transformations such as sums, matrix products, dot products, Hadamard products, and many more can often be represented using an einsum (short for Einstein summation). This post explains a simple trick to backpropagate through any einsum, regardless of what operations it represents. Example Einsum For example, an einsum for matrix multiplication can be written like so: import numpy as np A = np.arange(2 * 3).reshape(2, 3) # A = [ # [0, 1, 2], # [3, 4, 5] # ] B = np.arange(3 * 4).reshap

A single, 'naked' black hole confounds theories of the young cosmos

A black hole unlike any seen before has been spotted in the early universe. It’s huge and appears to be essentially on its own, with few stars circling it. The object, which may represent a whole new class of enormous “naked” black holes, upends the textbook understanding of the young universe. “This is completely off the scale,” said Roberto Maiolino, an astrophysicist at the University of Cambridge who helped reveal the nature of the object in a preprint posted on August 29. “It’s terribly ex

With this years switch from Titanium to Aluminum, the iPhone 17 Pro simply uses the same material as the standard iPhone 17 model.
