Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube is rolling out an accessibility-based feature that allows vertical Shorts videos to play in a landscape orientation. The Rotate Shorts option changes UI elements for sideway viewing but shrinks the video so much.

An Algorithm for a Better Bookshelf

Drop in at a library, and you’ll likely notice that most shelves aren’t full—librarians leave some empty space on each shelf. That way, when they get new books, they can slot them into place without having to move too many other books. It’s a simple-enough idea, but one that arises in a host of settings in computer science that involve sorted data, such as an alphabetically ordered census repository, or a list of connections between members of a social network.

The End of Moore's Law for AI? Gemini Flash Offers a Warning

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-12 04:34:05

For the past few years, the AI industry has operated under its own version of Moore's Law: an unwavering belief that the cost of intelligence would perpetually decrease by orders of magnitude each year. Like clockwork, each new model generation promised to be not only more capable but also cheaper to run. Last week, Google quietly broke that trend. In a move that at first went unnoticed, Google significantly increased the price of its popular Gemini 2.5 Flash model. The input token price double

Parallelizing SHA256 Calculation on FPGA

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-12 20:25:30

A few weeks ago, I wrote an article where I developed a hash calculator on an FPGA. Specifically, I implemented an SHA-256 calculator. This module computes the hash of a string (up to 25 bytes) in 68 clock cycles. The design leverages the parallelism of FPGAs to compute the W matrix and the recursive rounds concurrently. However, it produces only one hash every 68 clock cycles, leaving most of the FPGA underutilized during that time. In this article we are going to elevate the performance of t
