Apple just added more frost to its Liquid Glass design

theverge.com Emma Roth 2025-08-09 00:31:21

Apple’s new Liquid Glass design language just got a little more… frosted. In the third iOS 26 developer beta, Apple dialed back the transparency of navigation bars, buttons, and tabs that once allowed you to clearly see the content beneath them. Apple already toned down the glassiness of Liquid Glass after many users complained that it was too transparent and made it more difficult to see certain options, like the icons inside the Control Center.

Despite Losing Batman and Superman, Nicholas Hoult Knew Lex Luthor Was for Him

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-08-09 04:00:01

The world works in mysterious ways, even the world of comic book casting. Nicholas Hoult has been trying to become a superhero for years. He was one of the actors being considered for the lead role in Matt Reeves’ The Batman and was also considered to play Superman for James Gunn. Of course, neither of those things worked out, but something else worked out that was even better. Hoult ended up as Lex Luthor, and, it turns out, it was a role that was speaking to him all along.

The End of the Stock Market As We Know It

A revolution is brewing in finance, promising to shatter the old walls of Wall Street and bring assets like stocks, bonds, and even skyscrapers onto the blockchain. It’s called tokenization, and it could fundamentally change how we own, trade, and think about value. To understand what this means for the average person, we broke down the concept and spoke with Ken DiCross, co-founder of the blockchain interoperability platform Wire Network, about the future of a tokenized world. 1.

How did X-Rays gain mass adoption?

At the University of Würzburg, Wilhelm Röntgen took the first X-Ray (XR) and presented his work “On a New Kind of Rays” in December 1985 which was printed in January 1986. In January 1986, it was reprinted in English in Nature, The Electrician, Lancet, and BMJ. A lot of literature was written about XR’s in the months to follow.

Ted Cruz Denies Flash Flooding in Texas Was Caused by Weather Manipulation

Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, participated in a press conference Monday with local officials to discuss the severe flooding that’s killed at least 90 people in the state, including children at an all-girls summer camp, with dozens of people still missing. It’s a horrible tragedy but people online are suggesting without evidence that the floods are actually part of some nefarious and deliberate conspiracy to kill people.

In Brief Some ChatGPT subscribers are reporting a new feature appearing in their drop-down list of available tools called “Study Together.” The mode is apparently the chatbot’s way of becoming a better educational tool. Rather than providing answers to prompts, some say it asks more questions and requires the human to answer, like OpenAI’s answer to Google’s LearnLM.

I'm not losing sleep over Elon Musk's political ambitions

Just a month after his explosive fallout with Donald Trump, Elon Musk is floating the idea of forming his own political party. In a poll on X, 1.24 million of his followers voted, with 65.4 percent saying they would like to see such a thing happen. The America Party would offer “independence” from a political system Musk says is too focused on “waste & graft.” Like so many things Musk says, it’s not worth paying too much attention to unless he puts his money where his mouth is.

‘Rick and Morty’ Let Zack Snyder and James Gunn Fight Over Superman

“Ricker Than Fiction,” the latest episode of Rick and Morty, felt in some ways like a throwback to season four episode “Never Ricking Morty,” which similarly interrogated the storytelling process. But instead of a “Story Train” and characters with distressingly overdeveloped abs, we got a “Movie-Lizer” (a Rick invention designed to right the wrongs of the show’s in-universe “Maximum Velocitree” blockbuster franchise) and the distressingly overdeveloped biceps of one Zack Snyder.

So you wanna build an aging company

news.ycombinator.com Sarah Constantin 2025-08-07 08:30:30

Today, aging is cool. In 2024 alone, investors deployed about $8.5B into longevity-focused biotech companies. Aging biotech companies have entered clinical trials. The field has come a long way. But as “aging” (and “longevity”) have become more mainstream, there’s a temptation to stretch the definition to things that don’t belong in the category. Aging is not a single process. It’s a complex interplay of multiple biological processes that, over time, become dysregulated. Understanding it as suc

Oldest wooden tools in East Asia may have come from any of three species

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-10 00:05:05

Someone made very sophisticated wooden tools in China 300,000 years ago, and it might have been Denisovans or even Homo erectus. The digging sticks, curved root-slicers, and a handful of somewhat puzzling implements were all found at a lakeshore site called Gantangqing. They are the oldest wooden tools from East Asia so far. All the previous Pleistocene tools found in the area were made from harder material like stone, bone, or antler. But logic suggests that hominins must have prepared and use

In April 2023, a few weeks after the launch of GPT-4, the Internet went wild for two new software projects with the audacious names BabyAGI and AutoGPT. “Over the past week, developers around the world have begun building ‘autonomous agents’ that work with large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI’s GPT-4 to solve complex problems,” Mark Sullivan wrote for Fast Company. “Autonomous agents can already perform tasks as varied as conducting web research, writing code, and creating to-do lists.”
