Teflon and nonstick pans struggle to brown and sear due to their low-heat design and slick surface. When you attempt to develop a proper crust on meat, you'll end up with pale, gray protein instead of the caramelized golden-brown color you're after.

How is einx notation universal?

To address this question, let’s first look at how tensor operations are commonly expressed in existing tensor frameworks. Classical notation# Tensor operations can be dissected into two distinct components: An elementary operation that is performed. Example: np.sum computes a sum-reduction.

Example: Sub-tensors in np.sum span the dimensions

From the start, Nothing was designed to be an antidote to Apple and its omnipresent AirPods. While Apple focused on a sort of all-purpose minimalism, Nothing adopted a hallmark transparent look that, if not altogether disparate (both pairs of wireless earbuds have a similar stem design), at least gave its Ear products a unique design language. That quest for being different extended into features, too. In 2023, Nothing introduced personalized EQ, giving it a visual and technological difference o

There may be hope yet for the Galaxy S26 Ultra getting this long-overdue upgrade

Show HN: FlyCode – Recover Stripe payments by automatically using backup cards

We built FlyCode after seeing subscription businesses lose ~35% of recurring revenue each year to failed payments — even when customers had other valid cards on file. *The problem:* When a customer's primary card fails, Stripe retries a few times then cancels the subscription. If that customer has a backup card, it isn’t tried. At least 20% of active customers have more than one card on file, which means a lot of preventable churn. *Our solution:* FlyCode automatically identifies if a customer

Supreme Court lets Trump fire FTC Democrat despite 90-year-old precedent
