Apple has not destroyed Steve Jobs' vision for iPad

news.ycombinator.com Victor Wynne 2025-11-17 02:18:50

There’s been a lot of discussion since iPadOS 26 was introduced in June about how Apple has finally moved the iPad away from Steve Jobs’ original vision, transforming it from a simple content consumption device into something more computer-like. Some celebrate this evolution, falsely pointing to features like windowed apps and sophisticated multitasking as some sort of weak proof that Apple has successfully abandoned the constraints Jobs imposed. Even wrongly proclaiming that the company swore i

Aspirin Not Working for Your Headache? Experts Say These Foods Could Provide Relief

What do you do when you have a headache or migraine? Many reach for a bottle of aspirin, but that might not always provide relief. While it's not a miracle cure, the food you eat may help reduce your head pain when considered along with your hydration, exercise, sleep and stress management.

Android analyst AssembleDebug looked into the Google Translate app's latest build, version 9.15.114, and found what appears to be new changes to the user interface.

Before its upcoming U.S. rerelease, Ne Zha II—a Chinese animated film—had already made plenty of waves.

With its billion-dollar milestone marking the first time a non-Hollywood production crossed that threshold, A24’s stateside theatrical and IMAX rerelease only confirms that glowing reputation: Ne Zha II isn’t just a global phenomenon—it’s a generational triumph.

Evidence Grows That GPT-5 Is a Bit of a Dud

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-19 00:14:57

Power users of OpenAI's blockbuster chatbot ChatGPT were left largely unimpressed by the company's recently unveiled GPT-5 AI model. Those who became familiar with the convivial and sycophantic tone of GPT-5's predecessor were particularly distraught by its "cold" and far less supportive demeanor, accusing OpenAI of cutting corners. The pushback was significant enough for OpenAI to both make previous iterations available once more to paying customers — and even to lean back into the sycophancy

As if black-horned rabbits weren’t strange enough, people are now spotting zombie-like squirrels covered in odd, sometimes bleeding sores in their backyards and parks. These sickly squirrels aren’t zombies, however, but victims of a real viral disease. Residents in both Canada and the U.S. have recently reported sightings of the zombie squirrels, dating back to at least 2023.

Deductive database programming is useful for bringing data from multiple data sources together since it enables us to represent and query that data in a uniform way. It can also be used to model domain knowledge, similar to machine-readable ontology but without being restricted to binary predicates. Data
