9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-08-27 00:56:03

Apple hasn’t officially announced the iPhone 17 lineup, but we expect an event announcement later this month and the actual reveal in about four weeks. One highly anticipated change this year is the arrival of the iPhone 17 Air, replacing the iPhone 16 Plus with an ultra-thin model. Here’s how the iPhone 17 Air display size will compare to the 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. As you can see in Majin Bu’s latest post on X, the iPhone 17 Air display size sits nearly in between the 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. Th

MKBHD reviews CarPlay Ultra

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-08-27 05:06:27

Tech’s favorite YouTuber MKBHD has reviewed CarPlay Ultra for the first time. We’ve seen a few CarPlay Ultra walkthroughs since Aston Martin shipped the first instance of next-gen CarPlay earlier this year. MKBHD always has an approachable and understandable take on tech, of course. His latest video on his cleverly named Auto Focus channel is no exception. CarPlay Ultra in the wild is incredibly rare as it’s only supported in select Aston Martin vehicles for now. There are currently no EVs wi

I tested GPT-5's coding skills, and it was so bad that I'm sticking with GPT-4o (for now)

Now that OpenAI has enabled fallbacks to other LLMs, there are options. So GPT-5 happened. It's out. It's released. It's the talk of the virtual town. And it's got some problems.

Creating the Longest Possible Ski Jump in “The Games: Winter Challenge”

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-24 01:57:34

After spending way too much time getting side-tracked with investigating the copy protection measures, it is time to return to the actual reason I started looking into The Games: Winter Challenge to begin with: The quest to create the optimal ski jump and see how far you can push the game. One of my initial questions was already answered, namely whether it’s possible to jump farther than 100 meters, a feat that I never managed as a kid.

Dropbox announces new gen server hardware for higher efficiency and scalability

news.ycombinator.com Eric Shobe 2025-08-24 22:14:33

Fourteen years ago, Dropbox took its first steps toward building its own hardware infrastructure—and as our product and user base has grown, so has our infrastructure. What started with just a handful of servers has evolved into one of the largest custom-built storage systems in the world. We've scaled from a few dozen machines to tens of thousands of servers with millions of drives. That evolution didn’t happen by accident. It took years of iteration, close collaboration with suppliers, and a p

Bouncing on trampolines to run eBPF programs

This blog post is the second installment in our eBPF blog post series, following our blog post about eBPF selftests. As eBP F is more and more used in the industry, eBPF kernel developers give considerable attention to eBPF performance: some standard use cases like system monitoring involve hundreds of eBPF programs attached to events triggered at high frequencies. It is then paramount to keep eBPF programs execution overhead as low as possible. This blog post aims to shed some light on an inte

Raised by Wolves Is Original Sci-Fi at Its Most Polarizing (2020)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-27 15:26:30

“Raised by Wolves” is the type of sci-fi project that deserves some respect for its ambition alone—whatever you feel from it, you have to admire its full commitment to its Biblical proportions, and the way that it uses its androids and killers to tell a story about faith and parenting. Ridley Scott directed the first two episodes of the series, and using his name as part of the marketing is a fair move (even if it was created by Aaron Guzikowski, who wrote “Prisoners.”) This space oddity is very

GPT-OSS vs. Qwen3 and a detailed look how things evolved since GPT-2

news.ycombinator.com Sebastian Raschka 2025-08-27 02:06:07

OpenAI just released their new open-weight LLMs this week: gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b, their first open-weight models since GPT-2 in 2019. And yes, thanks to some clever optimizations, they can run locally (but more about this later). This is the first time since GPT-2 that OpenAI has shared a large, fully open-weight model. Earlier GPT models showed how the transformer architecture scales. The 2022 ChatGPT release then made these models mainstream by demonstrating concrete usefulness for wri

Compiling a Lisp: Lambda lifting

Thanks! I didn’t think this day would come, but I picked up the Ghuloum tutorial (PDF) again and I got a little bit further. There’s just one caveat: I have rewritten the implementation in Python. It’s available in the same repo in compiler.py. It’s brief, coming in at a little over 300 LOC

The Yuppie Button page talks about making lots of light.

See, this is one of the showstopping problems I have with Tesla -- they *insist* that you have your car online all the time, talking to Tesla's cloud and sending telematic data. Thank you, NO.

Breakfast With ChatGPT: Three Workers, One Morning, A Different AI Story

I came to Cleveland, Ohio, for the 50th anniversary of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention. I expected the hallways to be buzzing with conversations about AI, and they were, but not in the way I’d hoped. For the first two days, the phrase I heard most from my fellow journalists was “we must protect ourselves.” In session after session, the consensus was that AI is a danger, a threat, an enemy coming to replace us.

Tribit Stormbox Mini+ Review: A Great Cheap Portable Speaker

If you’re shopping for a portable Bluetooth speaker, it’s a given that you want good sound.

AOL is finally shutting down dial-up

As a septuagenarian, my father’s story was typical of long-time AOL dial-up subscribers. His subscription was a security blanket. He was sure he didn’t need the dial-up component, but he didn’t want to risk losing access to his stock portfolio, investor forums, and email. His setup worked, and he could afford to keep paying the subscription he had dutifully paid for over a decade.

Why investors just bet $85M on this Indian company’s generic drug strategy

With over 400 million chronic patients, India is one of the world’s largest medicine markets. But while most e-pharmacies chase speed, affordability remains the real challenge.

Security flaws in a carmaker’s web portal let one hacker remotely unlock cars from anywhere
