Visual programming is stuck on the form

news.ycombinator.com Wil Chung 2025-10-01 03:53:31

Underlying great creations that you love—be it music, art, or technology—its form (what it looks like) is driven by an underpinning internal logic (how it works). I noticed this pattern while watching a talk on cellular automaton and realized it's "form follows function" paraphrased from a slightly different angle. Inventing a form is a hard task, so you must approach it obliquely—by first illuminating the underlying function. This made me realize something crucial about visual programming: it’

The Anker Soundcore Space A40 wireless earbuds are back on sale for a record-low price of $45 a 44 percent discount. These earbuds remain our top pick for best budget wireless earbuds. The most significant feature on the A40 earbuds is the inclusion of active noise cancellation (ANC), which is almost unheard of at this price point. It's not the most sophisticated ANC, but it does sufficiently reduce constant rumbling background noise like on a plane. The built-in mic that's used for transparenc

Scientists: It’s do or die time for America’s primacy exploring the Solar System

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-01 07:48:17

Federal funding is about to run out for 19 active space missions studying Earth's climate, exploring the Solar System, and probing mysteries of the Universe. This year's budget expires at the end of this month, and Congress must act before October 1 to avert a government shutdown. If Congress passes a budget before then, it will most likely be in the form of a continuing resolution, an extension of this year's funding levels into the first few weeks or months of fiscal year 2026.

Hyundai battery plant faces startup delay after US immigration raid, CEO says

A battery plant co-owned by Hyundai Motor is facing a minimum startup delay of two to three months following an immigration raid last week, Hyundai CEO Jose Munoz said on Thursday. The Georgia plant, which is operated through a joint venture between Hyundai and South Korea's LG Energy Solution, was at the center of the largest single-site enforcement operation in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's history last week.

Lee Pace Reveals the Secrets of His ‘Foundation’ Bod

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-01 19:50:03

Foundation season three has ended (we’re still reeling) and we are more than thrilled that a fourth season is on the way. Though Apple TV+’s Asimov adaptation has a lot of things to recommend about it—complex characters, dynamic worldbuilding, a plot that celebrates the wonders of math—you also can’t count out the Lee Pace factor. The charismatic, cult-beloved actor has been a pivotal part of all three seasons. Though Foundation takes place across hundreds of years, the galaxy it’s set in is ru

Lee Pace Has Big Hopes for the Fourth Season of ‘Foundation’

wired.com Tim Marchman 2025-10-01 19:38:27

In the world of prestige sci-fi, Foundation reigns as the biggest sleeper hit. Mention the Apple TV+ adaptation of Isaac Asimov’s classic series in a group of friends and you’ll suddenly find everyone has been secretly watching it. Something of a flawed masterpiece, the show, which wraps its third season Friday, has been averaging about 1.5 million hours watched per week in the US over the last month, according to Luminate. Not Wednesday numbers, but in the same ballpark as other genre fare like

But before we ponder what’s next, we must discuss the season finale. “The Darkness” was… well, a lot sure did happen, didn’t it?

‘Foundation’ Will Return for Season 4

As sci-fi nerds, we here at io9 love Foundation, even if the show hasn’t gotten the mainstream buzz of certain other Apple TV+ series. It’s hardly a Severance-level blockbuster. But as the current third season of the Asimov adaptation prepares to air its finale, there’s an excellent bit of news from the streamer: Foundation will return for a fourth season. We can only assume that means cliffhangers galore in tomorrow’s finale, as is Foundation tradition—but we’re so happy with the announcement,
