9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-10-29 05:55:27

Apple is engaged in legal battles in both the UK and the US over 4G patents used in its mobile devices. The company has applied for permission to appeal a UK verdict which would cost it an additional 13 cents per iPhone. While this might sound crazy, the company says that very much more is at stake, not just for its own business, but for companies of every size … Three quick pieces of jargon In order to make any mobile device, you need licenses to use a whole bunch of patents. These patents a

A Ritzy L.A. Enclave Learned a Bitter Lesson About the Limits of Its Wealth

news.ycombinator.com Nathaniel Rich 2025-10-27 10:15:50

In June, after months of thwarted efforts, the City of Calabasas received a favorable ruling in its case against Los Angeles County: The Superior Court ruled that Calabasas had the right to test the fire debris deposited in the landfill. The court decision seemed to have an effect: For the next seven weeks, the county and Calabasas tried to negotiate a settlement. No agreement was reached, however, and finally, on Aug. 11, experts hired by the city took 20 samples from four trucks arriving at t

The cost of transparency: Living with schizoaffective disorder in tech

The Cost of Transparency: Living with Schizoaffective Disorder in Tech August 2025 "We celebrate mental health awareness until someone actually needs mental health support."

What I didn't share was the personal cost of that analysis—how living openly with schizoaffective disorder has systematically excluded me from the very communities I helped build

LLMs solving problems OCR+NLP couldn't

news.ycombinator.com Filip Rejmus 2025-10-31 02:15:28

The first idea resembling something like the idea of OCR got developed in 1870 as a reading machine for the blind - the Optophone. This was the first step to solve a problem that sounds pretty simple: How do we get writing on paper inside a computer? 150 years of research, engineering breakthroughs and hundreds of IDP products later we were finally able to scan a receipt and have the fields be filled out - if it looked nice and friendly enough to the OCR model. Heureka. Unfortunately for Tesse

Creating a qubit fit for a quantum future

A topological alternative For the team at Nokia Bell Labs, the solution lies in better qubits rather than bigger machines. Specifically, rather than information encoded in individual elementary particles, the team is focused on qubits that hold this same information in the way matter is spatially oriented—what is known as a topological qubit. This alternative approach uses electromagnetic fields to manipulate charges around a supercooled electron liquid, triggering the qubits to switch between

Stats suggest Apple’s slow rollout of AI agent capabilities may be wise

One of the many delayed Apple Intelligence features is known as App Intents, and we’re starting to see evidence that taking an extremely cautious approach to the rollout may be no bad thing.

She was worried about how to deal with generative AI. At first, Koeplin took a "hard line" against allowing students to use AI beyond basic grammar and spelling checks.

The first Hollywood film I watched in a theater was “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” in 2017 in Tunis — the movie in which Disney definitively ruined the franchise forever. Before that, in Libya, I used to buy pirated movies on CDs, or download them from illegal websites. Even the Libyan government got in on the piracy racket, illegally packaging the Arabic-speaking Disney channel along with 19 others and selling it just for 150 Libyan dinars. I say “just,” but 150 Libyan dinars was around $100 U.S.,
