9to5mac.com Chance Miller 2025-11-28 22:36:46

A new report from Bloomberg dives deep into Apple’s plans to lean on artificial intelligence as a way to expand into robotics, home security, and smart displays. One interesting tidbit in the report is that Apple is aiming to develop a system of smart home cameras and other home security products to compete with the likes of Amazon’s Ring brand. Bloomberg first reported that Apple was developing a home doorbell with support for Face ID last December. As it turns out, the company’s ambitions ex

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-28 21:32:03

How Stock Options Work Employee stock-option programs are typically authorized by a company's board of directors (and have historically been approved by the shareholders) and give the company discretion to award options to employees equal to a certain percentage of the company's shares outstanding. Options give employees the right to buy a certain number of their company's shares at a fixed price for a certain period of time, usually 10 years. That price, usually the market price of the

Doctors Were Worse at Spotting Cancer After Leaning on AI, Study Finds

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-11-28 22:45:32

Artificial intelligence tools have been shown to help doctors detect pre-cancerous growths in the colon—but don’t even think about taking those tools away once you’ve introduced them. A new study published this week in The Lancet found that doctors who are given AI tools to assist with identifying potential cancer risks in patients get worse at making those same observations when they go back to doing it without AI’s help.

Mesmerizing Hypnoloid, a Kinetic Desktop Sculpture

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-25 08:20:00

This Hypnoloid object is sort of the opposite of a spinning top. Whereas a top contacts the surface it's balancing on only at its point, the Hypnoloid contacts the surface with every square millimeter of its surface area. The shape is called an oloid, and it's a bit difficult to understand. The 20th-century German sculptor, inventor and mathematician Paul Schatz, who discovered it, describes it thusly: "If the distance of two centers of disk is equal to the radius, then the convex hull produce

Scientists Unveil Wild New Way to Explore the Edge of Space

Scientists often refer to the mesosphere as the “ignorosphere”—a region that’s too high for planes or weather balloons to explore, yet too low for satellites to probe. Despite our technological advances, we’ve yet to find a decent way to monitor this large stretch of air, which lies about 37 miles (60 kilometers) above the surface.

The road to artificial general intelligence

If so, what underlying enablers—whether hardware, software, or the orchestration of both—would be needed to power them? Dario Amodei, co-founder of Anthropic, predicts some for
