Honor’s Magic V5 foldable almost feels too thin

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-29 11:30:22

As soon as I picked up Honor’s Magic V5, I was a little concerned about its durability. The fourth generation of Honor’s Android foldable may not be massively thinner than its predecessor, but it sure feels like it. Yes, it’s built with aerospace-grade materials to make it sturdy despite its svelteness, but it’s also the first foldable I’d insist on buying a case for because goodness me, it’s thin. If you recall, the last handset in this series was the Magic V3 and no, you haven’t fallen asleep

‘The Vampire Diaries’ Almost Cast Marvel’s Sebastian Stan, New Book Reveals

The Vampire Diaries helped define the CW’s genre days, and for many fans, it’s also the moment they discovered Star Trek: Strange New Worlds actor Paul Wesley. He was cast alongside costar Ian Somerhalder to play the vampire brothers Damon and Stefan Salvatore, but things could have been very different: Marvel’s Sebastian Stan almost got the call to play the character. In an upcoming oral history titled I Was Feeling Epic by Samantha Highfill excerpted in EW, she reveals that Stan took a meetin

That boolean should probably be something else

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-29 14:31:15

Monday, June 30, 2025 One of the first types we learn about is the boolean. It's pretty natural to use, because boolean logic underpins much of modern computing. And yet, it's one of the types we should probably be using a lot less of. In almost every single instance when you use a boolean, it should be something else. The trick is figuring out what "something else" is. Doing this is worth the effort. It tells you a lot about your system, and it will improve your design (even if you end up usi

LLMs solving problems OCR+NLP couldn't

news.ycombinator.com Filip Rejmus 2025-10-29 15:15:28

The first idea resembling something like the idea of OCR got developed in 1870 as a reading machine for the blind - the Optophone. This was the first step to solve a problem that sounds pretty simple: How do we get writing on paper inside a computer? 150 years of research, engineering breakthroughs and hundreds of IDP products later we were finally able to scan a receipt and have the fields be filled out - if it looked nice and friendly enough to the OCR model. Heureka. Unfortunately for Tesse

GAN Math (2020)

Generative Adversarial Networks refer to a family of generative models that seek to discover the underlying distribution behind a certain data generating process. This distribution is discovered through an adversarial competition between a generator and a discriminator. As we saw in an earlier introductory post on GANs, the two models are trained such that the discriminator strives to distinguish between generated and true examples, while the generator seeks to confuse the discriminator by produ

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel 10 currently lacks native access to Google’s new Daily Hub feature, requiring sideloading and a manually-created shortcut. We’ve managed to activate the Daily Hub card in the Google Discover feed to give you an early look. We’ve also spotted a yet-unreleased Gold Price card in Discover.

Get ready, EV owners: Here come the dongles

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-10-29 19:00:00

Nearly a year ago, GM began selling an adapter to allow existing electric vehicles use the North American Charging Standard plugs at Tesla Supercharger stalls. EV owners rejoiced in their newfound freedom. Now, GM is announcing three more adapters. The additional adapters, which help GM customers access EV chargers with different charging rates and standards, is a win for flexibility, but at the cost of simplicity. It’s entirely possible that two-EV households could own four different adapters.

People With Ties to Trump Accused of Carrying Out ‘Covert’ Influence Operations in Greenland
