This has been an epic year for movies, and 2025 is only halfway over. A collection of tentpole titles and must-see blockbusters has already hit the big screen. The trend of studios mining established IP continues, and popular franchises' remakes, sequels and spin-offs will compete for audiences' attention. James Gunn's Superman was way up on our list of must-see blockbusters in 2025, which was compiled at the beginning of the year. If you read my review, you'll know that it delivered. Anthony

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TL;DR The Google Messages app could be getting a branding tweak that removes the famous “G” logo.

Extending That XOR Trick to Billions of Rows

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-17 19:15:41

Can we extend the XOR trick for finding one or two missing numbers in a list to finding thousands of missing IDs in a billion-row table? Yes, we can! This is possible using a data structure called an Invertible Bloom Filter (IBF) that compares two sets with space complexity based only on the size of the difference. Using a generalization of the XOR trick [1], all the values that are identical cancel out, so the size of this data structure depends only on the size of the difference. Most explan

Key Home Energy Tax Credits End This Year. Act Quickly if You're Considering Solar Panels, Experts Say

A big federal tax credit for homeowners who get solar panels will end this year, meaning a window for significant savings on going solar is closing fast. The 30% credit has long been the biggest single incentive for residential solar panel adoption, and its expiration is a significant blow for what has been a fast-growing industry. For homeowners, its elimination significantly changes the calculus of whether solar panels make financial sense compared with paying utility electrical rates. "It's

Indie writers can be under great pressure to write quickly, so it’s no surprise that a few have resorted to using generative AI software such as ChatGPT. Other writers may look to AI as a quick fix when they hit a roadblock. Plus, publishing on a budget can be tough, so AI-generated images and audio may seem like a good solution.

The Big EV Tax Credit Mystery

If you’re thinking about buying an electric vehicle, brace yourself: the federal tax credits that offer up to $7,500 off new EVs and $4,000 off used ones could change as soon as September 30. But here’s the real issue: Nobody knows for sure what happens next. Carmakers, consumers, and even some dealerships have been operating under the belief that a signed contract before September 30 locks in the credit. But now, some automakers are quietly admitting that the IRS has not finalized that rule.
