Fighting with YouTube to show a preview image

news.ycombinator.com Shane O'Sullivan 2025-11-20 16:11:16

TLDR: Click here for code to implement a lightweight, resilient clickable YouTube preview. YouTube videos are expensive to load on a web page. This compounds if you want your page to display many videos at the same time for the user to choose from. Before the user even plays the video, it loads 4MB onto your previously zippy page. Of course, YouTube does a decent job of caching these resources, but your browser is still doing all this work, creating another complete page context per video, exe

Real-world Pixel 10 dummy photos offer hope that Google may not ditch this feature

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-23 16:06:33

TL;DR Real-world images of what appears to be a dummy unit of the Pixel 10 have surfaced. The images suggest that Google may not have completely ditched the physical SIM tray. A week from today, we’ll be watching Google’s Pixel launch event. At this point, we’ve seen more than enough renders of the Pixel 10 family, so we have a pretty good idea what we’re in for. But if you’re looking for something a little more tangible than renders, some real-world images have recently surfaced online. Don’

The Mary Queen of Scots Channel Anamorphosis: A 3D Simulation May 17, 2025 Roscoe, N.Y. I’ve been going down some odd rabbit holes recently while researching my free online book-in-progress The Lost Art of Logarithms. Although the book is mostly focused on the history, use, meaning, and importance of logarithms, I believe that even histories of science and mathematics profit by being placed within political, cultural, social, and religious contexts.

The iPhone 16 Pro already packs one of the best camera setups found on any phone, but the iPhone 17 needs to take things even further when it launches in just a few weeks. Sure, Apple's phones are capable of taking stunning photos, thanks to its awesome software, ProRaw format and its wealth of video skills, but Apple's rivals have been doing big things, too.

Midjourney has come a long way. As one of the original AI image generators, the popular service is no longer Discord-exclusive.

Apple’s chip deal with Samsung is great news for future iPhones

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-12-01 20:00:00

One of the bullet points in Apple’s announcement of its increased US manufacturing spend made a big, but very non-specific, claim. Apple said that it was working with Samsung on an “innovative new technology which has never been used before anywhere in the world.” Although the company was being mysterious, we likely know what that means – and it’s great news not just for the iPhone 18, but also for future iPhones beyond it … The full statement – all two sentences of it – was as vague as it was

FLUX.1-Krea and the Rise of Opinionated Models

news.ycombinator.com Drew Breunig 2025-11-29 02:14:02

AI-generated images have a general look to them. Shiny, bright, waxy-skin, and over-use of bokeh. From Midjourney to Gemini to OpenAI, the AI Look is consistent. Enthusiasts and professionals wrestle with prompts and even fine-tune these models to tamp down the AI smell, with varying degrees of success. Examples of the "AI Look", provided by Krea in their technical paper. Last week, Krea launched an open model, FLUX.1-Krea, that’s built to avoid the “AI Look”. Their writeup is tremendous: it d

Deepest-Ever Field Image of Giant Galaxy Cluster Is a Brutal Reminder of Your Cosmic Insignificance
