Apple’s newest AI study unlocks street navigation for blind users

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-08-29 13:19:28

There’s no shortage of rumors about Apple’s plans to release camera-equipped wearables. And while it’s easy to get fatigued by yet another wave of upcoming AI-powered hardware, one powerful use case often gets lost in the shuffle: accessibility. SceneScout, a new research prototype from Apple and Columbia University, isn’t a wearable. Yet. But it hints at what AI could eventually unlock for blind and low-vision users.

The Era of Exploration

news.ycombinator.com Yiding Jiang 2025-08-29 13:23:57

Large language models are the unintended byproduct of about three decades worth of freely accessible human text online. Ilya Sutskever compared this reservoir of information to fossil fuel, abundant but ultimately finite.

Solving Wordle with uv's dependency resolver

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-27 21:28:30

Introduction In a previous life, I wrote a Sudoku solver that relied on Poetry's dependency resolver. We ended up selling that startup to EDB (not because of the Poetry hack), which means that they now own this IP. And, since then, Python packaging has advanced, with uv taking the world by storm. This means that it's time for a refresh. Can we use uv instead of Poetry? And can we solve a Wordle instead of a Sudoku? For the impatient: you can get the solver from my GitHub.

A petition to preserve video game access recently achieved an important milestone of one million signatures, but it has two more challenges to overcome before reaching the final level.

I had never really thought of the proliferation of screens as a peacekeeping tool until I stumbled across one of Allen B. DuMont’s 1950s dual-screen television sets.
