Kuo reiterates Touch ID in the iPhone Fold; unlikely to be in-display

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said back in March that he expected the iPhone Fold to have Touch ID on the side button rather than using Face ID. He has today reiterated this. While there have been some suggestions that Apple might use an in-display ultrasonic Touch ID sensor, Kuo says this is “unlikely” … iPhone Fold The iPhone Fold is expected to launch next year as the new flagship model.

Ford and the Birth of the Model T

news.ycombinator.com Brian Potter 2025-10-21 12:52:48

This is an excerpt from my forthcoming book, The Origins of Efficiency, out September 23rd. Ford’s status as a large-volume car producer began with the predecessor to the Model T: the Model N, a four-cylinder, two-seater car initially priced at $500. At the time, the average car in the US cost more than $2,000, and it seemed nearly unimaginable that a car with the capabilities of the Model N could cost so little. In 1906, the year the Model N was introduced, Ford sold 8,500 of them, making the

Touted As The Tesla-Killer, Lucid Scrambles to Stay On The NASDAQ

gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2025-10-24 11:26:03

Beleaguered electric vehicle company Lucid Motors (LCID) has implemented a reverse stock split, consolidating shares to meet NASDAQ’s $1 minimum trading price and prevent delisting. As of Friday, Lucid’s share price was down over 96% from its all-time high of $64.86, reached in February 2021. While this move may protect the company from being removed from the exchange for now, it does little to address the underlying issues plaguing the struggling electric vehicle maker.

Massive Recall Doesn’t Affect 15% Leap in Company Share Price

Condor's Cuzco RISC-V Core at Hot Chips 2025

news.ycombinator.com Chester Lam 2025-10-24 09:18:41

Condor Computing, a subsidiary of Andes Technology that creates licensable RISC-V cores, has a business model with parallels to Arm (the company) and SiFive. Andes formed Condor in 2023, so Condor is a relatively young player on the RISC-V scene. However, Andes does have RISC-V design experience prior to Condor’s formation with a few RISC-V cores under their belt from years past. Condor is presenting their Cuzco core at Hot Chips 2025.

Contrastive Representations for Temporal Reasoning

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-26 01:42:40

In classical AI, perception relies on learning spatial representations, while planning—temporal reasoning over action sequences—is typically achieved through search. We study whether such reasoning can instead emerge from representations that capture both spatial and temporal structure. We show that standard temporal contrastive learning, despite its popularity, often fails to capture temporal structure, due to reliance on spurious features.
