Cell Towers Can Double as Cheap Radar Systems for Ports and Harbors (2014)

news.ycombinator.com Ian Chant 2025-08-22 10:48:12

How do you see ships without a pricey radar system? The question has troubled seaports around the world as they work to improve security. Without radar installations, it can be hard for port employees to detect small ships like those employed by pirates or by the terrorists who attacked the USS Cole in 2000. A team of researchers in Germany can now offer security teams a new option, though: putting existing cellular towers to work as quick and dirty radar systems. Developed at the Fraunhofer In

is a senior reporter focusing on wearables, health tech, and more with 13 years of experience. Before coming to The Verge, she worked for Gizmodo and PC Magazine. After nearly a decade of wearables testing, I’ve amassed a truly terrifying amount of health and fitness data. And while I enjoy poring over my daily data, there’s one part I’ve come to loathe: AI summaries. Over the last two years, a deluge of AI-generated summaries has been sprinkled into every fitness, wellness, and wearable app.

The Perils of 'Design Thinking'

news.ycombinator.com Celine Nguyen 2025-08-19 21:27:11

On the first day of a required class for freshman design majors at Carnegie Mellon, my professor stood in front of a lecture hall of earnest, nervous undergraduates and asked, “Who here thinks that design can change the world?” Several hands shot up, including mine. After a few seconds of silence, he advanced to the next slide of his presentation: a poster by the designer Frank Chimero that read, Design won’t save the world. Go volunteer at a soup kitchen, you pretentious fuck. My professor was

The Nothing Phone 3 might have the weirdest camera design out there

theverge.com Jay Peters 2025-08-22 21:33:15

Earlier this month, I wrote about a leaked image of what was rumored to be the Nothing Phone 3. That image showed a design with a translucent back and three center-aligned cameras. But a new set of supposed Nothing Phone 3 images reveal a different design — with one of the wildest camera layouts I’ve ever seen. Renders from Android Headlines show a phone with a translucent back but three cameras in a weirdly separated layout. Instead of a neat triangle like on Pro iPhones or the camera bar on P

Nothing’s Phone 3 Hasn’t Even Launched and It’s Already Pissing People Off

Nothing’s Phone 3 hasn’t officially launched yet, but thanks to what looks like a major leak from Android Headlines, the internet—as it often does—is having some discourse. Just like with Nothing’s incoming Headphone 1, leaks suggest that the company is taking a pretty big swing on the design for its flagship phone, and I’m not sure if that swing is quite connecting.

Graphic artists in China push back on AI and its averaging effect

theverge.com Gus Rick 2025-08-24 05:00:00

Sendi Jia, a designer running her own studio between Beijing, China, and London, England, says she mainly uses AI generators like DALL-E to make fake photos for background panels or websites when her clients don’t have access to real ones. That’s helped clients with limited budgets, but it’s also exposed just how much of the creative process AI can replace. Recently, a potential client working in a university contacted Jia about creating the logo for a new project. Then, they changed their mind.

Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 review: Technically proficient but lacking soul
