If you’re interested in a new MacBook Pro, the current M4 model is an excellent option. But the M5 MacBook Pro will launch in the coming year too, and decisions about whether to upgrade could be a lot more complicated than usual. M5 vs M6 MacBook Pro: Two very different options For anyone expecting to upgrade their MacBook Pro in the coming year or so, Apple may have two very different options for you. The M5 MacBook Pro, which will launch either later this year or in early 2026, isn’t expect

Big Tech split? Google to sign EU’s AI guidelines despite Meta snub

cnbc.com Ryan Browne 2025-12-24 03:33:31

Google on Wednesday said it will sign the European Union's guidelines on artificial intelligence, which Meta previously rebuffed due to concerns they could stifle innovation. In a blog post, Google said it planned to sign the code in the hope that it would promote European citizens' access to advanced new AI tools, as they become available. Google's endorsement comes after Meta recently said it would refuse to sign the code over concerns that it could constrain European AI innovation. "Prompt

Trouble Reading with Liquid Glass in the iOS 26 Beta? Here's How to Make it More Legible

Apple released the first public beta of iOS 26 on July 24, and the beta brings a Liquid Glass design to the iPhones of developers and beta testers, alongside other updates like a new Games app. But if you're not a fan of the Liquid Glass design, I found a way to reduce its effects so background images aren't bleeding through menus and making things hard to read. When Apple released the developer beta of iOS 26, people were torn about the design. Some were excited about it, while others -- mysel

Two Birds with One Tone: I/Q Signals and Fourier Transform

When a new member arrives at the Signal Processing Club, this is what they find at the club gate: I/Q signals. Perhaps a secret plot to keep most people out of the party? Some return from here to try another area (e.g., machine learning, which pays more and is easier to understand but less interesting than signal processing). Others persist enough to push the gate open for implementation purposes (even a little understanding is sufficient for this task) but never fully grasp the main idea. So w

Elements of System Design

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-24 09:44:58

Elements of System Design System design is often taught through domain-specific solutions specific to particular domains, such as databases, operating systems, or computer architecture, each with its own methods and vocabulary. While this diversity is a strength, it can obscure cross-cutting principles that recur across domains. This paper proposes a preliminary taxonomy of system design principles distilled from several domains in computer systems. The goal is a shared, concise vocabulary that

Leaked prototype reveals M1 iMac almost had an Apple logo on its chin

When Apple introduced the colorful, ultra-thin M1 iMac in 2021, many were surprised by one notable omission: the lack of an Apple logo on its prominent chin. Now, a leaked prototype suggests this was indeed something Apple took into consideration during development… The current-generation iMac features a 24-inch display in an ultra-thin form factor with white bezels around that display. It’s available in a wide range of colors, unlike most Apple products. One of the hallmarks of the iMac design
