California unemployment rises to 5.5%, worst in the U.S. as tech falters

news.ycombinator.com Roland Li 2025-11-28 06:10:26

A custodial worker vacuums inside an office building in San Francisco. California’s unemployment numbers continue to rise, partially because of a tough tech sector. Jessica Christian/S.F. Chronicle California’s unemployment rate rose to 5.5% in July, the highest among U.S. states, as tech and other office jobs showed more weakness and hiring remained sluggish, according to state data released Friday.

Model intelligence is no longer the constraint for automation

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-27 21:44:49

The perception is that model improvement seems to be stagnating. GPT-5 wasn’t the step change that people were expecting. Yet, models continue to improve on reasoning benchmarks. Recently, both OpenAI and Google models were on par with gold medallists in the International Mathematical Olympiad 2025 (IMO). At the same time it’s still difficult to make AI agents work for relatively simple enterprise use cases. Why is there such a disparity in model performance between problem domains? Why are mode

Tiny, removable “mini SSD” could eventually be a big deal for gaming handhelds

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-29 02:13:47

Earlier this year, Nintendo helped popularize the microSD Express standard by requiring it for the new Switch 2 console. Created in 2019, the specification had languished in relative obscurity for years because the cheap, plentiful non-Express microSD cards were generally fast enough for the things that people were using them for, and because most hardware didn't support microSD Express cards in the first place. However, Nintendo's console needed performance closer to that of an internal SSD to

YouTube Music just got a new podcast superpower that’s been a long time coming

TL;DR Google Podcasts used to offer the ability to remove gaps of silence from podcasts. When Podcasts was retired, YouTube Music did not offer a similar tool. Work on a “trim silence” option for YouTube Music was spotted last year, and the feature is finally available now. Progress is supposed to mean improvement, right? While we’re no strangers to seeing Google transform one app into another, merging features in the process, it’s extremely frustrating when we lose some functionality along t

Brands might be cooling on satellite features, and that’s bad news for cheaper Androids

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-29 06:36:10

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Chinese brands are scaling back satellite communication and keeping it for top-end models only. A reliable tipster says past high-end sat-com flagships sold poorly and were dropped. This could make global brands less likely to bring the feature to affordable phones. Satellite communication has been one of the most talked-about phone features in the past couple of years, and it’s no longer just for emergencies. Just this week, our APK teardown showed h
