Now Jack Dorsey has built an app to track your vitamin D

theverge.com Dominic Preston 2025-08-01 09:18:50

Sun Day is available now for iOS via TestFlight, and the code for the project is available on GitHub. The app uses location-based data to display your local UV index and sunlight hours. You can detail your skin type and clothing level, then manually toggle when you’re in and out of the sun and the app will track your rough vitamin D levels for the day, along with how long you can be in direct sunlight without burning.

Why, look at the leaves. It’s Garmin running watch season again! The sweatiest time of the year! As luck would have it, we’ve got a new flagship running watch to pore over in the form of the Forerunner 970. It features Garmin’s brightest AMOLED screen yet, built-in maps, a flashlight, a speaker, a mic, and more data fields than most of us mere mortals can process. It also costs $150 more than the previous running flagship, the Forerunner 965. Let’s see if it’s worth it. New Look Photograph: B

Hill Space: Neural nets that do perfect arithmetic (to 10⁻¹⁶ precision)

news.ycombinator.com Justin Dujardin 2025-08-01 00:37:48

When understood and used properly, the constraint W = tanh(Ŵ) ⊙ σ(M̂) (introduced in NALU by Trask et al. 2018 ) creates a unique parameter topology where optimal weights for discrete operations can be calculated rather than learned . During training, they're able to converge with extreme speed and reliability towards the optimal solution. Most neural networks struggle with basic arithmetic. They approximate, they fail on extrapolation, and they're inconsistent. But what if there was a way to m

Aliens Can Detect Earth’s Airports From 200 Light-Years Away

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-08-01 04:00:53

Humans might not know of any intelligent beings beyond Earth, but if they exist, they might already know about us. New research shows that radar systems at commercial and military airports are inadvertently announcing our presence to any aliens with the ability to listen. Preliminary results from a study led by Ramiro Caisse Saide, an astrophysics PhD candidate at the University of Manchester, suggest extraterrestrials up to 200 light-years away could theoretically detect electromagnetic signal

Scientists Say Earth May Be Trapped Inside a Huge, Strange Void

Astronomers who examined the sound waves from the Big Bang say that the Earth — and the entire Milky Way galaxy we call home — could be trapped in a huge void billions of light years across. Their study, which was just presented at the Royal Astronomical Society's National Astronomy Meeting in the UK, could solve one of cosmology's greatest mysteries: the Hubble tension, or why the older universe appears to be expanding more slowly than younger regions.

Amazon Prime Day’s best deals may not last for much longer, since the sale ends later tonight. This includes a big discount on the 2025 Hisense U7, a midrange TV that’s seeing deep discounts right now.

To be clear, the researchers behind LightShed aren’t trying to steal artists’ work. They just don’t want people to get a false sense of security. “You will not be sure if companies have methods to delete these poisons but will never tell you,” says Hanna Foerster, a PhD student at the University of Cambridge and the lead author of a paper on the work.
