A statistical analysis of Rotten Tomatoes

news.ycombinator.com Daniel Parris 2025-12-09 09:10:07

Intro: Why Is Everything "Certified Fresh"? I stayed in a hotel recently, which means I watched cable television, which means I consumed commercials that I could not skip—and some of these commercials advertised upcoming movie releases. Promo after promo, I noticed an unmistakable pattern: every film was "Certified Fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes, with this seal of approval serving as the ad's climactic selling point. After five days of "Certified Fresh" movie propaganda, I began to grow suspicious.

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR A D.C. court upheld a $92 million FCC fine against T-Mobile for failing to protect customer location data. The ruling follows broader FCC fines issued in 2024 against AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile, ranging from $47M to $92M. T-Mobile argued the FCC misinterpreted the law and violated its rights but lost; the company says it stopped sharing location data over six years ago.

Show HN: I built a toy TPU that can do inference and training on the XOR problem

Nobody really understands how TPUs work…and neither do we! So we wanted to make this because we wanted to take a shot and try to guess how it works–from the perspective of complete novices! We wanted to do something very challenging to prove to ourselves that we can do anything we put our mind to. The reasoning for why we chose to build a TPU specifically is fairly simple: None of us have real professional experience in hardware design, which, in a way, made the TPU even more appealing since w

The Joy of Mixing Custom Elements, Web Components, and Markdown I love Markdown. I write faster and more natively in it than any other format or tool. If we zoom way out, here’s the most basic philosophy of Markdown: replace complicated stuff with simpler stuff. That’s all it does, really. It replaces some tedious nested taggy stuff with way simpler stuff that makes more visual sense and is faster to type. At its core, Markdown is really just a bunch of macros.

This quantum radar could image buried objects

technologyreview.com Sophia Chen 2025-12-31 02:00:00

The glass cell that serves as the radar’s quantum component is full of cesium atoms kept at room temperature. The researchers use lasers to get each individual cesium atom to swell to nearly the size of a bacterium, about 10,000 times bigger than the usual size. Atoms in this bloated condition are called Rydberg atoms. When incoming radio waves hit Rydberg atoms, they disturb the distribution of electrons around their nuclei. Researchers can detect the disturbance by shining lasers on the atoms
