New book explores the courtroom wars against Apple’s App Store rules

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-10-06 13:33:58

Avid 9to5Mac readers know that it is getting increasingly harder to have a day go by and not come across a post about a new (or old) lawsuit trying to challenge, dismantle, or overturn Apple’s App Store rules. Now, a new book out later this month pieces some of the biggest battles together in one place. In iWAR: Fortnite, Musk, Spotify and the Siege of Apple, Wall Street Journal business columnist Tim Higgins sets out to tell the story of “how Apple became the world’s most valuable company,” us

Will Amazon S3 Vectors kill vector databases or save them?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-06 08:35:46

Not too long ago, AWS dropped something new: S3 Vectors. It’s their first attempt at a vector storage solution, letting you store and query vector embeddings for semantic search right inside Amazon S3. At a glance, it looks like a lightweight vector database running on top of low-cost object storage—at a price point that is clearly attractive compared to many dedicated vector database solutions. amazon s3 vectors.png Naturally, this sparked a lot of hot takes.

Tropical Storms Routinely Shredded Baby Pterosaurs, Fossil Evidence Suggests

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-07 05:15:24

The Solnhofen Limestone, a fossil hotspot in southern Germany, hosts a particularly rich array of baby pterosaur bones. That led paleontologists to believe that the animals flourished here—until an autopsy unveiled the broken, storm-tossed wings of two baby pterosaurs, painting a darker picture of how the bones got there. In a Current Biology paper published September 5, paleontologists at the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom describe the tragic tale of Lucky and Lucky II, two baby

Requiem for an Exit

Between 1994 and 2004, Frode Oldereid and Thomas Kvam created a series of robotic installations exploring the intersections between technology, ideology, and collective memory. These robots evoked the aesthetics of political mass movements, echoing the fractured language of 20th-century totalitarianisms and its countercultures. Two decades later, the artists revisit these themes in Requiem for an Exit. At the center of the installation stands a towering robotic figure, four meters tall—a skelet

Speeding up the Unreal Editor launch by … not spawning 38000 tooltips? If there is one thing the Unreal Engine doesn’t suffer from, it is it’s lack of features.
