Google's Pixel phones include numerous thoughtful features you don't get on other phones, like Now Playing. This feature can identify background music from the lock screen, but unlike some similar song identifiers, it works even without an Internet connection. Sadly, it has been broken for months.

He assured the room that DOGE had “fixed” the issue. In reality, as an Ebola outbreak continues in Uganda, the aid response from the United States has been severely curtailed by the destruction of the country’s largest foreign aid arm—and other lifesaving humanitarian programs

In Brief OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that the company was forced to stagger the rollout of its newest model, GPT-4.5, because OpenAI is “out of GPUs.” In a post on X, Altman said that GPT-4.5, which he described as “giant” and “expensive,” will require “tens of thousands” more GPUs before additional ChatGPT users can gain access. GPT-4.5 will come first to subscribers to ChatGPT Pro starting Thursday, followed by ChatGPT Plus customers next week. Perhaps in part due to its enormous size, GPT-4

[This is from a paper we’re submitting to the International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2025)] Introduction Recursion and iteration are the Yin and Yang of programming. Conventional languages support both, but tend to favor the Yang – iteration. Java and C, for example, have elaborate while and for statements. But they treat functions as second-class objects that e.g. can’t be returned as results. Python is a bit better. The Yin, we might say, is strong in that one. Even Python
