macOS Icon History

news.ycombinator.com Https 2026-02-13 11:25:41

With macOS 26, Apple has announced a dramatically new look to their UI: Liquid Glass. Solid material icon elements give way to softer, shinier, glassier icons. The rounded rectangle became slightly more rounded, and Apple eliminated the ability for icon elements to extend beyond the icon rectangle (as seen in the current icons for GarageBand, Photo Booth, Dictionary, etc.). With this release being one of the most dramatic visual overhauls of macOS's design, I wanted to begin a collection chroni

Optimizing Tool Selection for LLM Workflows with Differentiable Programming

news.ycombinator.com Viksit Gaur 2026-02-13 17:52:46

Modern agentic architectures rely heavily on chaining LLM calls. A typical pattern looks like: Use an LLM to decide which tool to invoke Call the tool (e.g. search, calculator, API) Use another LLM call to interpret the result and generate a final response This structure is easy to reason about, simple to prototype, and generalizes well. But it scales poorly. Each LLM call incurs latency, cost, and token overhead. More subtly, it compounds context: every step includes not only the original q

So Long, ‘Anthem,’ See Ya In the Skies

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2026-02-13 15:50:55

In February 2019, Dragon Age and Mass Effect developer BioWare released Anthem, a third-person shooter about human Freelancers donning armored Javelin suits to fight monsters and various factions. After seven years, EA is permanently taking the live-service game down on January 12, 2026, and with it, a chapter in the studio’s modern era is forever gone. To know Anthem is to know its tumultuous life; the game famously suffered from crunch and internal struggles owing to BioWare’s knowledge of se

Mysterious Object Headed Into Our Solar System Is Coming From the Center of the Galaxy

Folks, it's official: the object that astronomers recently spotted blowing through the outer solar system came from interstellar space. Yesterday, the intriguing stranger was named A11pl3Z. Now, it's earned the esteemed designation 3I/ATLAS — that "I" standing for "interstellar." 3I/ATLAS is currently located between the orbits of the asteroid belt and Jupiter, the New York Times reports, where it's about 416 million miles away from the Sun, NASA said.

In a surprise trend of the year, a growing number of communities are using apps like Ring Neighbors and Nextdoor to discuss and track ICE immigration raids. These security apps and associated security cams and video doorbells weren't exactly intended to follow federal agents, but it's proven to be a popular effort in areas like California. While law enforcement retains the ability to request home security videos with a warrant, they aren't used to being on the receiving end of this technology.

For a 2-Back test (the standard version), you need to determine if the current square's position matches the position from 2 steps earlier.
