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

news.ycombinator.com John Pavlus 2025-12-03 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.

Introduction to Ada: a project-based exploration with rosettas

Context This practical walkthrough, designed as a short tutorial, was created upon joining AdaCore as a Field Engineer. In this new role, I’ll be working directly with customers to help them succeed with Ada. Although I was first introduced to the language nearly two decades ago, this new position inspired me to revisit its fundamentals, and I used the excellent https://learn.adacore.com portal as a quick refresher. While that platform takes a concept-based approach, I chose to complement it wit

Python has had async for 10 years – why isn't it more popular?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-03 15:24:57

The Python Documentary dropped this morning. In the middle of the documentary, there’s a dramatic segment about how the transition from Python 2 to 3 divided the community (spoiler alert: it didn’t in the end). The early versions of Python 3 (3.0-3.4) were mostly focused on stability and offering pathways for users moving from 2.7. Along came 3.5 in 2015 with a new feature: async and await keywords for executing coroutines. Ten years and nine releases later, Python 3.14 is weeks away. Whilst

‘Marvel Zombies’ Teases a High-Energy Undead Adventure

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-12-03 15:00:21

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. The latest trailer for the Disney+ animated series reveals that the likes of Okoye, Hawkeye, the Scarlett Witch, and Captain America are now the brain-munching undead. And the unlikeliest of heroes will need to rise up to

Scientists Pinpoint Cause of Mysterious Electrical Surges on Satellites

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-12-03 15:40:43

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

At the same time, the company will introduce its Project Moohan mixed reality headset and AI smart glasses. If Samsung does indeed unleash the Galaxy Z TriFold later this month, it would be the second triple-screen phone in existence.

Tesla has published its fourth so-called “Master Plan,” and at a high level it is about how the company wants to lead the charge into planet-wide adoption of humanoid robots and sustainable energy. But the post lacks an important building block of plans: specifics. Even CEO Elon Musk agrees.

How to unlock the Pixel 10 Pro’s hidden 12-bit video capabilities

The high bit depth is possible thanks to Samsung’s Smart-ISO Pro technology within the image sensor. The Pixel 10 and Pixel Camera app are still capped at 10-bit video capture. The new Google Pixel 10 series already sports some impressive new photo and video capabilities, but it appears that the Pro models are capable of even more than Google advertises.
