The pixel that refused to die: LG Display’s 15-year OLED journey and the screen that changed everything

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-02 16:57:15

Deep within LG Display’s Paju facility, in a room most employees have forgotten exists, sits a 15-inch screen that shouldn’t be working. When engineers fired it up last month for a heritage documentation project, they expected perhaps a flicker and maybe some color degradation—the inevitable decay of organic compounds exposed to fifteen years of molecular entropy. Instead, the display blazed to life with colors so vivid and blacks so profound that the measurement equipment had to be recalibrate

Debugging a mysterious HTTP streaming issue

The Problem We recently encountered a frustrating issue with HTTP response streaming at Mintlify. Our system uses the AI SDK with the Node stream API to forward streams, and suddenly things stopped working properly. The symptoms were confusing: streaming worked perfectly with cURL and Postman, but failed completely with node-fetch and browser fetch. ‍ Initial Investigation Our first hypothesis centered around stream compatibility issues.

A SPARC makes a little fire

Way back in May of 2018, I was unable to get the SparcStation 1+ to stop returning “Illegal Instruction” errors for any attempt at booting. This made absolutely no sense to anyone I asked about it, and they suggested replacing the PROM battery, because at least then we’d have fewer known-broken parts in the computer. I ignored this advice, and just stuck the computer in a corner with the other broken machines for awhile so it could think about what it did. A few weekends later, I decided to go

For giant carnivorous dinosaurs, big size didn’t mean a big bite

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-03 03:06:25

When a Spinosaurus attacked a T. rex in Jurassic Park III, both giant carnivores tried to finish the fight with one powerful bite of their bone-crushing jaws. The Spinosaurus won, because when the movie was being made back in the early 2000s, fossil discoveries suggested it was the largest carnivorous dinosaur that ever lived. But new research provides evidence that size and weight didn’t always create a powerful bite. “The Spinosaurus and the T. rex didn’t live at the same time at the same con

New Gel Could Heal Stubborn Diabetic Wounds in Under 2 Weeks

For people with diabetes, high blood sugar can damage blood vessels and nerves, leading to chronic wounds that stay open for months. But a new gel-based treatment could massively speed up the healing process for people with diabetes, allowing wounds to close in just days, according to a new study.

Lurk – A Turing-complete programming language for ZK-SNARKs

Lurk Overview Lurk is a statically scoped dialect of Lisp, influenced by Scheme and Common Lisp. A reference implementation focused on describing and developing the core language can be found in the lurk-lisp repo. Lurk's distinguishing feature relative to most programming languages is that the correct execution of Lurk programs can be directly proved using SNARKs. The resulting proofs are succinct: they are relatively small, can be verified quickly, and they reveal only the information expli

Solar-Powered Device Turns Moon Dirt Into Bricks, a Potential Breakthrough in Lunar Construction

Both the U.S. and China have set their sights on the Moon, aiming to break ground on permanent lunar bases within the next decade. Though there’s no legal basis for claiming territory in space, whichever country gets there first will gain a coveted first-mover advantage, allowing it to set certain ground rules about who can do what, where. But getting there first is only half the battle. Actually establishing a sustained lunar presence presents significant logistical and engineering challenges.

American politics has often been an arena for angry minds. In recent years we have seen angry minds at work mainly among extreme right-wingers, who have now demonstrated in the Goldwater movement how much political leverage can be got out of the animosities and passions of a small minority.
