Scholars solved a 130-year literary mystery and it hinged on one word

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-09 22:40:52

A medieval literary puzzle which has stumped scholars including M.R. James for 130 years has finally been solved. Cambridge scholars now believe the Song of Wade, a long lost treasure of English culture, was a chivalric romance not a monster-filled epic. The discovery solves the most famous mystery in Chaucer's writings and provides rare evidence of a medieval preacher referencing pop culture in a sermon. The breakthrough, detailed on July 15 in The Review of English Studies, involved working o

Google has lifted the curtains on the Pixel 10, its flagship phone for 2025, via a short clip posted on the Google Store homepage on Monday. The Pixel 10 will likely be fully revealed at a Made by Google event in New York on Aug. 20.

The front page of the Google Store currently features a short video teasing one of the Pixel 10 smartphones the company is announcing on August 20. If you take the webpage literally, then Google's video is showing off the base Pixel 10, which has a similar look to the Pixel 9, with some key differences.

The special hell of Bolt, Europe's Uber clone

I was in Latvia a few weeks ago. Riga’s one of the Europeans cities without a good transit link from the airport into city. Snooping around online, I found that the recommended way to get a ride was the use of an app called Bolt, a European clone of Uber. I realize now that I didn’t actually check that Uber wasn’t available in Latvia, but I’m not against experimenting with a new app here and there. I used it twice to get to and from the city center, and it worked perfectly. Neither of my driver

Radical New Theory Rewrites the Story of the Earliest Universe

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-01-15 05:05:38

Following the Big Bang, our universe expanded at an exponential rate. According to this theory, known as cosmic inflation, the explosive growth produced tiny quantum fluctuations that later evolved into galaxies. Cosmic inflation neatly explains how our universe got so large and mostly homogenous, and that’s why it’s remained a strong theory in cosmology for decades. But it’s far from perfect. Cosmic inflation depends on certain theoretical assumptions that can get rather arbitrary—not ideal fo
