Hjalti playing with the sculpting mockup. Multi-touch interfaces like tablets have been common for years, but only recently thanks to increased processing power, have they started to serve as primary computing devices. To support Blender’s mission of making 3D technology accessible to everyone, it’s important to fully embrace these platforms. Some of these devices include Apple iPad, Microsoft Surface, Huawei MatePad, and the Wacom MovinkPad, among others. The idea is to bring the full power

Chemical process produces critical battery metals with no waste

news.ycombinator.com Laurie Winkless 2025-12-30 02:35:33

Olivine is a rather unassuming rock. Olive brown to yellow green in color, this hard yet brittle mineral is thought to be the most abundant in Earth’s upper mantle. Chemically, olivine is magnesium iron silicate, though it contains other elements too. Economically, it’s close to worthless. Its limited industrial utility stretches to gemstones, metalworking, ceramics, and occasionally, as a gravel for road construction. At some mining sites, olivine is a waste product, stored in piles on the surf

The Electron E1 Processor

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-30 06:37:42

Innovation demands processors that can keep up. Readily available processors are built on technology that is over 70 years old. This limits innovation. To meet modern demands, processors must be entirely reimagined, breaking free from the constraints that have plagued computing for decades. This spatial dataflow architecture supports general-purpose computing, without being bound by the constraints of traditional processor designs or limited by fixed-purpose accelerators.

Scientists Find Secret Code in Human DNA

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-30 04:15:10

Image by Getty / Futurism Genetics One person's junk is another's treasure. An international team of scientists have found that strings of "junk" DNA in the human genome that were previously written off as having no useful function are actually pretty important after all. The work, published as a study in the journal Science Advances, focuses on transposable elements, a class of DNA sequences that can "jump," via a biological copy-and-paste mechanism, to different locations in a genome.

Do not download the app, use the website

news.ycombinator.com Ibrahim Diallo 2025-12-30 14:07:09

The 2010s was the Wild West of the mobile world. "Mobile-first" was the buzzword, much like "AI-first" is today. Every company, from the biggest social media giants to your local pizza parlor, seemed to be pestering you to download their app. There was a genuine hype train, and everyone was on board. The apps, frankly, were always mediocre, and a far cry from the full functionality of their website counterparts. But the message was clear. If you weren't on mobile, you were falling behind. Fast

India bans streaming apps you’ve never heard of — but millions watch

techcrunch.com Jagmeet Singh 2025-12-30 14:02:42

India has ordered the blocking of 25 streaming services — many with millions of viewers and even paying subscribers — for allegedly promoting “obscene” content, in one of the South Asian nation’s biggest digital crackdowns yet. The order affects lesser-known, but wildly popular services like Ullu and ALTT that cater to the country’s mass-market appetite for adult and edgy entertainment.

The Tabs vs. Spaces war is over, and spaces have emerged victorious

The great indentation war is over and it seems like we have a clear winner.

Everything you need to know about AppleCare One

Apple this week launched a new AppleCare One plan – a way to buy AppleCare+ for multiple devices for one monthly fee. The exact coverage it offers depends on the mix of devices you have, and the cost depends on how many, but you’ll almost certainly save money over buying separate plans for each. Does this mean you should subscribe? That depends … Understanding AppleCare AppleCare can be somewhat confusing, because the company has historically used the branding to describe both the standard wa

Hey friends 👋, A few months ago, Amazon announced that Kindle users would no longer be able to download and back up their book libraries to their computers. Thankfully, I still have access to my library because I saw this video by Jared Henderson warning of the change and downloaded all ~400 of my books immediately. But for those that didn't, the only way for them to view the books they own is through a Kindle or the Kindle app. Which raises the question: do they even own those books? If you

Low-Temp 2D Semiconductors: A Chipmaking Shift

news.ycombinator.com Samuel K. Moore 2025-12-28 20:52:33

Chipmaking giants like Intel, Samsung, and TSMC see a future where key parts of silicon transistors are replaced with semiconductors that are only a few atoms thick. Although they’ve reported progress toward that goal, that future is generally thought to be more than a decade away. Now, a startup spun out of MIT thinks it has cracked the code for making commercial-scale 2D semiconductors and expects chipmakers to have integrated them in advanced chips in half that time.

A Premium Luggage Service’s Web Bugs Exposed the Travel Plans of Every User—Including Diplomats

An airline leaving all of its passengers’ travel records vulnerable to hackers would make an attractive target for espionage. Less obvious, but perhaps even more useful for those spies, would be access to a premium travel service that spans 10 different airlines, left its own detailed flight information accessible to data thieves, and seems to be favored by international diplomats.

There is no memory safety without thread safety

There is no memory safety without thread safety Memory safety is all the rage these days. But what does the term even mean? That turns out to be harder to nail down than you may think. Typically, people use this term to refer to languages that make sure that there are no use-after-free or out-of-bounds memory accesses in the program. This is then often seen as distinct from other notions of safety such as thread safety, which refers to programs that do not have certain kinds of concurrency bugs
