YouTube adds a new Shorts feature that you should probably avoid

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-01 06:14:58

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube is rolling out an accessibility-based feature that allows vertical Shorts videos to play in a landscape orientation. The Rotate Shorts option changes UI elements for sideway viewing but shrinks the video so much. This feature is likely intended for users with motor impairments or specific setups like mounted landscape-mode devices. By design, YouTube Shorts, just like Instagram Reels and TikTok videos, are all vertical videos. They’re meant to

Context Engineering for Agents

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-29 09:56:20

Lance Martin TL;DR Agents need context to perform tasks. Context engineering is the art and science of filling the context window with just the right information at each step of an agent’s trajectory. In this post, I group context engineering into a few common strategies seen across many popular agents today. Context Engineering As Andrej Karpathy puts it, LLMs are like a new kind of operating system. The LLM is like the CPU and its context window is like the RAM, serving as the model’s work

The new overlay is about one-third the width of the screen instead of two-thirds and is anchored to the right side.

Let’s start with the term “agent” itself. Right now, it’s being slapped on everything from simple scripts to sophisticated AI workflows. There’s no shared definition, which leaves plenty of room for companies to market basic automation as something much more advanced.
