PWM can be disabled on iPhone 17 models I had never heard the term PWM before today, but as I learned by visiting the ‘PWM Sensitive’ subreddit—which has 16k weekly visitors—it’s a fairly widespread issue, and has been for years. Pulse width modulation is a tactic used by smartphones when brightness is red

Apple acknowledges iPhone Camera Control is overly complicated with iOS 26 change

Camera Control is a highly requested feature iPhone users have wanted physical camera buttons since at least the iPhone 4 in 2010.

‘Traumatika’ Puts a Gruesome Spin on the Idea of Facing Your Demons

The new indie horror film Traumatika opens with a title card informing us of the “five forms of childhood trauma,” unsubtly announcing what’s about to happen over the next 80 minutes. Then we’re in the Egyptian desert, circa 1910, watching an anguished man bury a sinister-looking figurine in the sand. Only then do we arrive in the 21st century, where terrible things are very much afoot. The flashback adds a little bit of context, but it feels unnecessary; a cursed object is a not-uncommon horro

Senator blasts Microsoft for making default Windows vulnerable to “Kerberoasting”

A prominent US Senator has called on the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Microsoft for “gross cybersecurity negligence,” citing the company’s continued use of an obsolete and vulnerable form of encryption that Windows uses by default.

Klarna’s IPO pops, raising $1.4B, with Sequoia as the biggest winner

Reproducibility is a bedrock of scientific progress. However, it’s remarkably difficult to get reproducible results out of large language models. For example, you might observe that asking ChatGPT the same question multiple times provides different results. This by itself is not surprising, since getting a result from a language model involves “sampling”, a process that converts the language model’s output into a probability distribution and probabilistically selects a token.
