Meta Says Its Comically Large VR Headset Prototype Can Almost Mimic Human Sight

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-12-05 21:30:02

There are a lot of lofty goals in the world of VR, but delivering hyperrealism is among the most elusive. That’s because there are tons of constraints with a realistic, world-rendering face computer: there’s resolution, field of view, power, weight, battery—you name it. But just because obstacles abound doesn’t mean the titans of XR and VR aren’t trying, and when it comes to the ol’ college try, Meta definitely gets an A for effort. In its latest endeavor, Meta unveiled Tiramisu, a new headset

The Best Hearing Aids of 2025, Tested and Reviewed

wired.com Christopher Null 2025-12-07 06:00:00

How much money should you expect to spend on a hearing aid? The answer depends primarily on whether you’re looking into over-the-counter or prescription hearing aids. Unsurprisingly, the latter is a wallet guzzler, with average costs between $2,000 to $8,000. But OTCs can ring up quite a tab in their own right, and our most highly rated devices will still run you about $800 to $2,000 a pair. So far, we haven’t found an OTC device under this $800 price that is truly effective at treating hearing

Ceretone Core One Pro Hearing Aids Review: A Blunt Instrument

wired.com Christopher Null 2025-12-07 15:30:00

Ceretone, born on Indiegogo, hit the scene last year with impressively tiny hardware that still remains one of the smallest and lightest hearing aids I’ve ever reviewed. At just 0.96 grams each, the Ceretone Core One were so light they threatened to blow away in the wind. With a price of $349 per pair, they had a similarly minimal effect on your bank account. The trouble with the original Ceretone Core One is that they just weren’t very good as hearing aids. They were not tunable, suffered from

Debounce

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-05 00:04:13

Debouncing, in the context of programming, means to discard operations that occur too close together during a specific interval, and consolidate them into a single invocation. Debouncing is very similar to throttling. The key difference is that throttling enforces limits on continuous operations, while debouncing waits for invocations to stop for a specific time to consolidate many noisy invocations into one single invocation. A typical use case of debouncing is when responding to user input.

Samsung’s 500,000-fold durability claim for the inner screen seems plausible so far, but the test did produce some hardware issues. Notable issues included a reboot error (6,000–10,000 folds), hinge creaking (from 46,000 folds), liquid seepage (after 75,000 folds), and speaker failure (at 175,000 folds).
