Apple launches new flagship iPhones every year with a variety of upgrades. But after years of relatively stagnant innovation on the design front, the iPhone 17 launch will kick off several years of exciting new innovations that put an end to the recent ‘boring’ iPhone era. iPhone design innovation has long been stagnant, but that era is over If you’ve followed Apple long enough, you likely remember the days when new iPhone announcements came with a lot more optimism and excitement.

Toronto’s network of pedestrian tunnels

news.ycombinator.com Samuel Hughes 2025-10-21 20:44:14

Toronto has one of the world’s great commercial downtowns. Two metro lines, eight suburban heavy railways, an extensive bus system, a highway, and North America’s greatest surviving tram network all converge on a tiny area by the shores of Lake Ontario. Hundreds of thousands of commuters pour into the downtown every day, filling the great towers that line its nineteenth-century streets. As with many downtowns, this causes congestion. Streets and pavements are thronged at peak times. Bicycles, p

'World Models,' an old idea in AI, mount a comeback

The latest ambition of artificial intelligence research — particularly within the labs seeking “artificial general intelligence,” or AGI — is something called a world model: a representation of the environment that an AI carries around inside itself like a computational snow globe. The AI system can use this simplified representation to evaluate predictions and decisions before applying them to its real-world tasks.

Stressed Ice Generates Electricity, Researchers Find

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-22 03:50:33

Don’t mess with ice. When it’s stressed, ice can get seriously sparky. Scientists have discovered that ordinary ice—the same substance found in iced coffee or the frosty sprinkle on mountaintops—is imbued with remarkable electromechanical properties. Ice is flexoelectric, so when it’s bent, stretched, or twisted, it can generate electricity, according to a Nature Physics paper published August 27. What’s more, ice’s peculiar electric properties appear to change with temperature, leading researc

In 1994, two Canadian TV satellites failed within mere hours of each other. The pair was in a geostationary orbit when a major solar storm hit, resulting in electrostatic discharges that disabled their control electronics. Anik E1 and E2 are just one example of the effects of electric charge buildup on satellites, known as spacecraft environment discharge.

How to unlock the Pixel 10 Pro’s hidden 12-bit video capabilities

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL can shoot in 12-bit 4K video with dedicated third-party apps. The high bit depth is possible thanks to Samsung’s Smart-ISO Pro technology within the image sensor. The Pixel 10 and Pixel Camera app are still capped at 10-bit video capture. The new Google Pixel 10 series already sports some impressive new photo and video capabilities, but it appears that the Pro models are capable of even more than Google advertises.
