The Pixel 10 Pro’s 100x zoom is Google’s most controversial use of AI yet — here’s why

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-03 16:00:17

Google loves AI, and it’s doubled down on the tech with every new Pixel generation. But this year’s Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL take things to another level, introducing a diffusion model to upscale images from the phone’s conservative 5x optical zoom into telescopic-length 100x photos. Google is no stranger to computational photography or AI-assisted imaging — features like Add Me and Astrophotography mode laid the groundwork for its ongoing evolution. However, the introduction of diffusion models

Trippy Image From Deep Space Shows Earth and Moon From 180 Million Miles Away

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-11-03 15:00:34

The Psyche spacecraft is on a six-year journey to reach a metal-rich asteroid by the same name. Well into its voyage, the probe looked back at its home planet and captured a rare view of Earth, accompanied by its Moon, as a mere speck engulfed by the dark void of space. NASA’s Psyche mission launched on October 13, 2023, and is assigned to explore a distant target in the main asteroid belt that’s believed to be the exposed core of a protoplanet.

Creating 3D Worlds with HTML and CSS (2013)

news.ycombinator.com Kevin Roche 2025-11-03 16:14:49

Last year I created a demo showing how CSS 3D transforms could be used to create 3D environments. The demo was a technical showcase of what could be achieved with CSS at the time but I wanted to see how far I could push things, so over the past few months I’ve been working on a new version with more complex models, realistic lighting, shadows and collision detection.

Ricoh Announces Updated Version of My Favorite Travel Camera

With pocket camera popularity on the rise, Ricoh has announced the GR IV, an updated version of its excellent, diminutive (and quite old) GR III. It's a fixed-lens camera that can easily fit in a pocket, but inside is a big APS-C image sensor -- far larger than what you can get in a phone. Larger image sensors typically mean better image quality compared to smaller sensors. I really liked the GR III and picked it as the best point-and-shoot camera for travel.

With iOS 26 coming within the next month or so, Apple doesn't have many reasons left to update iOS 18. But this is one of them. The company pushed a security update for its platforms on Wednesday. iOS 18.6.2 patches a vulnerability related to image processing.

That way, the projection can automatically be synchronised with the moment of exposure of any nearby camera using a flash.
