Here’s why Apple’s cheapest iPad is actually the most practical model

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-12-07 15:52:00

As a techie, it’s easy to get caught up in the trap of buying the most expensive devices with the most features. And, for the most part, it’s still a problem. That said, I recently made the decision to switch to Apple’s cheapest iPad, the budget model with an A16 chip. I’m pleasantly surprised with how incredibly useful it truly is – while costing less than a third of an iPad Pro. iPadOS 26 I’ve mentioned it in passing before, but iPadOS 26 sort of ruined how I use my iPad.

Paramount has just signed a deal with Microsoft and Activision to make a movie based on the iconic Call of Duty franchise.

'World Models,' an Old Idea in AI, Mount a Comeback

news.ycombinator.com John Pavlus 2025-12-07 14:53:29

The latest ambition of artificial intelligence research — particularly within the labs seeking “artificial general intelligence,” or AGI — is something called a world model: a representation of the environment that an AI carries around inside itself like a computational snow globe. The AI system can use this simplified representation to evaluate predictions and decisions before applying them to its real-world tasks.

The zombie apocalypse hits the Marvel Cinematic Universe, at least in 2D, just in time for spooky season. The trailer for Marvel Zombies shows us a timeline where the assembled Avengers aren’t showing up to save the day—they’re the threat after being hit with the zombie virus.

Scientists Pinpoint Cause of Mysterious Electrical Surges on Satellites

In 1994, two Canadian TV satellites failed within mere hours of each other. The pair was in a geostationary orbit when a major solar storm hit, resulting in electrostatic discharges that disabled their control electronics. Anik E1 and E2 are just one example of the effects of electric charge buildup on satellites, known as spacecraft environment discharge. New findings show a direct correlation between a spacecraft’s electric discharge and peaks in the flux of electrons in space, identifying hu
