How to Switch to Google Fi (2025): Plans, Tips, and Advice

All of the prices above are for a single line paid monthly. Google periodically offers half off and other specials, usually only if you bring your own phone. Activate Your Chip Once you've picked your plan and signed up, Google will mail out a SIM card. It took a couple of days for my physical SIM to arrive, but I'll gladly take the slight delay if it saves me from setting foot in a physical carrier store.

Razer BlackShark V3 Pro Review: High-End Gaming Audio

Despite including Bluetooth and ANC, I don't think of this at the type of do-everything headset you might replace noise-canceling headphones with, and not just because the person next to you will wonder if you're secretly talking to the pilots. These are so bulky and obviously for gaming that you probably don't want to wear them outside the house. You'd certainly get some weird looks walking the dog or working from your local coffee shop.

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. It’s been a few years since Netflix confirmed that Liam Hemsworth would be taking over as Geralt of Rivia in the live-action Witcher series. And while we caught a brief glimpse of him in action last year, the first proper clip from season 4 of the show reveals just how Hemsworth will be inhabiting the role — including his take on Geralt’s signature growling voice.

Rolling Stone owner Penske Media sues Google over AI summaries

Google faces a new lawsuit accusing the company of illegally using news publishers’ content to create AI summaries that damage their business. The lawsuit comes from Penske Media (PMC), which owns industry publications such as Rolling Stone, Billboard, Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Deadline, Vibe, and Artforum. While Penske’s suit is the first targeting Google and its parent company Alphabet over showing AI-generated summaries in search, both publishers and authors have sued other AI companies o

A Trick for Backpropagation of Linear Transformations

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-29 18:05:28

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

news.ycombinator.com Charlie Wood 2025-10-02 07:27:12

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

Lexy: A parser combinator library for C++17

Why should I use lexy over XYZ? lexy is closest to other PEG parsers. However, they usually do more implicit backtracking, which can hurt performance and you need to be very careful with rules that have side-effects. This is not the case for lexy, where backtracking is controlled using branch conditions. lexy also gives you a lot of control over error reporting, supports error recovery, special support for operator precedence parsing, and other advanced features.
