Electromechanical Reshaping Offers Safer Eye Surgery

news.ycombinator.com Meghie Rodrigues 2025-11-27 10:56:37

A new, promising technique has the potential to replace laser surgeries in ophthalmologists’ offices in the future, for a fraction of the cost. Called electromechanical reshaping (EMR), the technique offers a gentler approach to correcting the cornea than Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK), today’s gold standard for treating vision issues including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The eye develops these and other conditions when the cornea’s curvature is off—too stee

Inverting the Xorshift128 random number generator

CVE-2025-7783 is a very recent vulnerability affecting a lot of applications in the Node.js ecosystem including those which use axios or the deprecated request library. In all honesty, this vulnerability is really an edge case that is extremely unlikely to be exploited: it is dependent upon a number of events that are not normally present. One of those events is the attacker having access to five consecutive outputs of JavaScript Math.random( ) , which allows the attacker to predict future outpu

How to build vector tiles from scratch

As I add more data to the NYC Chaos Dashboard, a website that maps live urban activity, I have been looking for a more efficient way to render the map. Since I collect all of the data in one process and return the Dashboard as one HTML file, I kept wondering how I could optimize the map’s loading time by pre-processing the data as much as possible in the backend. This is where vector tiles come in. The code shown in this post is written in Go. Why generate tiles? Initially, all of the map’s d

Almost anything you give sustained attention to will begin to loop on itself

news.ycombinator.com Henrik Karlsson 2025-11-27 12:29:49

Brioches and Knife, Eliot Hodgkin, 08/1961 1. When people talk about the value of paying attention and slowing down, they often make it sound prudish and monk-like. Attention is something we “have to protect.” And we have to “pay” attention—like a tribute. But we shouldn’t forget how interesting and overpoweringly pleasurable sustained attention can be. Slowing down makes reality vivid, strange, and hot. Let me start with the most obvious example. As anyone who has had good sex knows, susta

Roborock’s Washer and Dryer Combo Also Doubles as a Robot Vacuum Dock

Roborock’s big product announcement at IFA 2025 is something I don’t think anybody saw coming: a combo washer and dryer with a secret compartment for robot vacuums. Called the 4-in-1 Household Cleaning Combo for now, it has no price and no release date, but it might be one of my favorite ideas on the show floor so far.

How Wikipedia survives while the rest of the internet breaks

WhenWhen armies invade, hurricanes form, or governments fall, a Wikipedia editor will typically update the relevant articles seconds after the news breaks. So quick are editors to change “is” to “was” in cases of notable deaths that they are said to have the fastest past tense in the West.
