9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-11-27 02:45:11

After a year of slow, sometimes confusing steps toward fediverse support, Threads is now making it easier for users to actually see and discover content from other platforms. Here’s how it works, and how to enable it. Starting today, if you’ve enabled fediverse sharing in Threads, you’ll get access to a new reverse-chronological feed showing posts from federated accounts you follow on Mastodon, WordPress, Flipboard, or other ActivityPub-based services.

Facebook is once again rebranding the "video" section of its app. This time, the tab formerly known as " video ," which was also once called " watch ," will become "reels." The change comes as the company says that all video on the social network will now fall under the umbrella of "reels" regardless of how long the clip is or how it was shot. According to Meta , the change will make things simpler for users and creators sharing video clips on the platform. Previously, users had to decide wheth

Astronomers Just Solved the Mystery of the Universe's Missing Matter

news.ycombinator.com Margherita Bassi 2025-11-27 00:44:14

Decades ago, astronomers estimated that “ordinary” matter (basically everything that isn’t dark matter or dark energy) makes up 5% of the universe. There was just one problem—they had no idea where most of it was. Astronomers from the Center for Astrophysics Harvard & Smithsonian (CfA) and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have tracked down the universe’s “missing” matter. Fast radio bursts (FRBs) indicate that over three-quarters of ordinary matter, officially called baryonic ma

Iran asks its people to delete WhatsApp from their devices

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-27 02:12:23

Iranian state television on Tuesday afternoon urged the country’s public to remove the messaging platform WhatsApp from their smartphones, alleging the app — without offering specific evidence — gathered user information to send to Israel. In a statement, WhatsApp said it was “concerned these false reports will be an excuse for our services to be blocked at a time when people need them the most.” WhatsApp uses end-to-end encryption, meaning a service provider in the middle can’t read a message.

Programming Language Design in the Era of LLMs: A Return to Mediocrity?

The most exciting part of Programming Languages (PL) research for me has always been in Programming Language Design. By carefully crafting a language with a syntax and semantics tailored for a specific domain, PL designers can provide an interface for end users that seamlessly aligns with the sensibilities and intuitions of practitioners, allowing users to focus on the "interesting" parts of a problem and tackle larger and more complex problems.

AMD's CDNA 4 Architecture Announcement

news.ycombinator.com Chester Lam 2025-11-26 23:38:02

CDNA 4 is AMD’s latest compute oriented GPU architecture, and represents a modest update over CDNA 3. CDNA 4’s focus is primarily on boosting AMD’s matrix multiplication performance with lower precision data types. Those operations are important for machine learning workloads, which can often maintain acceptable accuracy with very low precision types. At the same time, CDNA 4 seeks to maintain AMD’s lead in more widely applicable vector operations. To do so, CDNA 4 largely uses the same system

Foundation season three will pick up 152 years after the end of season two, which means a new set of supporting characters is on the way. However, given Foundation’s fondness for clones (be they organic or digital) and robots—as well as people who endure extended cryosleep—all the main faces will also be back. That time jump will advance the action to a time of great unrest, as predicted in season two by Gaal Dornick (Lou Llobell) using a combination of mathematics, the “prime radiant” quantum
