These are the closest-ever images of the sun from Parker Solar Probe's historic flyby

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-09 09:55:49

NASA's Parker Solar Probe made history with the closest-ever approach to the sun last December, and we're finally getting a look at some of the images it captured. The space agency released a timelapse of observations made using Parker's Wide-Field Imager for Solar Probe (WISPR) while it passed through the sun's corona (the outer atmosphere) on December 25, 2024, revealing up close how solar wind acts soon after it's released. The probe captured these images at just 3.8 million miles from the so

Five companies now control over 90% of the restaurant food delivery market

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-09 13:23:37

While reading the latest results from Prosus, I realized there seems to be a trend that nobody is talking about. There is an obvious wave of consolidation in the food delivery market happening right before our eyes. The once-hot food delivery sector has gone cold faster than your DoorDash order. New entrants have disappeared as most of the VC money chases the cool and hip AI startups. Alongside a wave of acquisitions, the world's food delivery market is consolidating in the hands of 5 companies.

‘Superman’ Blasts Off To a Big Opening Weekend

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-10-09 14:00:14

The numbers don’t lie: a lot of people went to go see Superman this weekend. Per the Hollywood Reporter, James Gunn’s reboot of the DC hero earned an estimated $217 million in its three-day debut. Of that, $122 million came from North America, making it the first superhero movie in the territory since 2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine to cross $100 million. Compared to other DC films, it’s the brand’s first movie to cross that milestone in North America since 2022’s The Batman ($134 million), and it

Cursed Phone Case Imitates Human Skin

Who asked for this? Skin Deep If for some reason you wanted your smartphone experience to be as off-putting as possible, you should check out this phone case that imitates human skin to a supremely unnerving degree. Not only does it look and feel like an epidermus, but it gets sunburned like one too. Morbid as this sounds, the "Skincase" is actually intended to help you. The idea is that seeing the faux skin wilt from spending too much time outdoors will remind you to protect yourself against

Never mind the Galaxy Z Fold 7, I wish Samsung copied this foldable alternative

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has just launched, and it’s one of the thinnest foldables yet, while offering a larger folding screen than previous models. As cool as Samsung’s latest Fold is, though, I’ve been spending time with an old alternative to foldable phones, and I’d love Samsung to copy this trick. Yep, I’m talking about LG’s Dual Screen Case.

A Mental Model for C++ Coroutine

news.ycombinator.com Lu'S Blog 2025-10-07 15:23:57

C++ coroutine is not a library that is ready to go (e.g. std::vector ). It is not even a trait (think of Rust’s Future trait) that library writers or users can implement (or the compiler generates for you in the case of Rust). C++ coroutine is a specification that defines a set of customization points that library writers implement in order to get a functional coroutine. A function supports two operations - call and return . A coroutine (in any language) is a generalization of a function. It su

It’s been over a decade since the last proper Superman movie hit theaters, and this weekend finally broke that long streak with Superman (formerly subtitled Legacy). This has been one of the most talked-about superhero movies in recent memory, and one that comes with some baggage. Before writer/director James Gunn came onboard, it seemed Henry Cavill would don the cape again after being MIA from the DCEU the last few years, only for that to fall apart.

Samsung Brought Back My Favorite Feature for Its Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic

While competitors release predictable updates to their smartwatches, Samsung isn't afraid to surprise us (for better or worse) with design and feature changes each year. And with the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic in particular, announced at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event, my favorite feature has made a welcome reappearance: the physical rotating bezel, a touch of romantic elegance that made me fall in love with Galaxy Watches in the first place.

For Algorithms, Memory Is a Far More Powerful Resource Than Time

wired.com Ben Brubaker 2025-10-09 09:00:00

That classic result was a way to transform any algorithm with a given time budget into a new algorithm with a slightly smaller space budget. Williams saw that a simulation based on squishy pebbles would make the new algorithm’s space usage much smaller—roughly equal to the square root of the original algorithm’s time budget. That new space-efficient algorithm would also be much slower, so the simulation was not likely to have practical applications. But from a theoretical point of view, it was n

Galaxy Z Flip 7’s Exynos 2500 benchmarked: Flagship power or foldable flop?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-09 07:30:11

In a first for Samsung’s foldables, the new Galaxy Z Flip 7 sports a Samsung Exynos processor instead of its usual Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. I’m reasonably convinced the Exynos 2500 looks more than good enough on paper, even if it won’t quite match the Snapdragon 8 Elite inside the Galaxy S25 series and Z Fold 7. But the real proof is in the testing, so I’ve run the Galaxy Z Flip 7 through our usual suite of benchmarks to see just how far off the top spot it really is. For comparison, we’ve gra

Crypto Billionaire Justin Sun Buys Another $100 Million of Trump’s Memecoin
