Pixel 10 vs Pixel 8: Here’s why I’m not upgrading

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-10 20:30:13

The Pixel 10 series, save for the base model, is largely an incremental upgrade, with Google draping the familiar design in new colors. If you are coming from a Pixel 9 series, there’s little conviction to upgrade to the newer models, unless you absolutely cannot live without the new Pixelsnap accessories or the slightly improved Tensor G5. But what if you have an older Pixel 8 series phone? Then, the Pixel 10’s newer design can be alluring, while the new telephoto on the vanilla Pixel 10 could

The Destruction of NASA Would Be a Blow to Our Collective Imagination

wired.com Richard Warnica 2025-11-10 21:30:00

Not long before he decided to leave NASA, Steve Rader, an engineer who spent 36 years at the Johnson Space Center, held a retreat for leaders in his department at his home in downtown Houston. It had been a trying few months for Rader and his team. “I will say, I don't cry a lot,” he tells me in a recent phone call. That changed after Trump took office. “You can ask my wife, from the first few months I cried.” After decades working on projects like the Space Shuttle and International Space Stat

Visualizing distributions with pepperoni pizza and JavaScript

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-07 22:38:04

Monday, August 18, 2025 There's a pizza shop near me that serves a normal pizza. I mean, they distribute the toppings in a normal way. They're not uniform at all. The toppings are random, but not the way I want. The colloquial understanding of "random" is kind of the Platonic ideal of a pizza: slightly chaotic but things are more or less spread out over the whole piece in a regular way. If you take a slice you'll get more of less the same amount of pepperoni as any other slice. And every bite

Debugging Behind the Iron Curtain (2010)

Sergei is a veteran of the early days of the computing industry as it was developing in the Soviet Union. I had the pleasure of working and learning from him over the past year, and in that time I picked up more important lessons about both life and embedded programming than any amount of school could ever teach. The most striking lesson is the story of how and why, in late summer of 1986, Sergei decided to move his family out of the Soviet Union. In the 1980s, my mentor Sergei was writing soft

Pixel 10 vs Pixel 9: Here’s why I’m tempted to upgrade

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-12 11:00:41

Autumn isn’t usually the time to compare a newly launched phone to its direct predecessor. The upgrades over a device from a year ago are typically so minimal that one should stick to their existing phone for a couple more years before considering an upgrade. But the new Pixel 10 is a little different this time around. The Pixel 10 is getting improvements in nearly every single department, making it feel like a proper generational leap. On an individual level, these may seem like little upgrade

How Did Walmart Frozen Shrimp Become Contaminated With Radioactive Material?

As you've probably already heard, the Food and Drug Administration has issued a recall warning for bags of frozen shrimp sold under Walmart's "Great Value" brand over concerns about radioactive contamination. As the FDA explained in a statement, shipping containers and frozen shrimp parcels used by the Indonesia-based Walmart contractor BMS Foods tested positive for Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope and byproduct of nuclear fission.

How much do electric car batteries degrade?

news.ycombinator.com Hannah Ritchie 2025-11-17 15:53:20

It’s always the battery in my mobile phone that gives up on me first. After just a few years, it can barely make it through the day without getting another charge. Most electric cars have the same types of batteries — usually lithium-ion — so the assumption is that they degrade just as quickly. This is a fairly common fear for people considering a new EV: “Won’t the battery need to be replaced after a few years?”. And I think it’s even more prominent in the second-hand market: “Oh, I’d never bu

This Newly Launched Satellite Just ‘Bloomed’ a Record-Breaking Antenna in Orbit

A first-of-its-kind satellite recently launched into orbit to monitor Earth’s changing surfaces, detecting movement of the planet’s crust down to fractions of an inch. The satellite packed a giant radar antenna, folded like an umbrella, and it just unfurled the massive, drum-shaped structure through an intricate process that brought it to full bloom.

This quantum radar could image buried objects

The glass cell that serves as the radar’s quantum component is full of cesium atoms kept at room temperature. The researchers use lasers to get each individual cesium atom to swell to nearly the size of a bacterium, about 10,000 times bigger than the usual size. Atoms in this bloated condition are called Rydberg atoms. When incoming radio waves hit Rydberg atoms, they disturb the distribution of electrons around their nuclei.
