Industry analyst predicts iPhones to get 9% price hike amidst US tariffs - and I believe it

zdnet.com Kerry Wan 2025-06-05 08:49:00

Jason Hiner/ZDNET The latest US tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump have put Apple at a bit of a crossroads. With multiple tariffs impacting countries worldwide, including a 10% charge on all imports from China, electronics makers like Apple will soon have to decide if they'll take the brunt of the damage or redirect it to end consumers by increasing the price of goods. That includes the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and more. Also: Apple launches $599 iPhone 16e: Best features, specs, and

I tried Google Photos' AI search and it was surprisingly bad - 3 ways to fix it

zdnet.com Sabrina Ortiz 2025-06-05 11:40:00

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET One practical use case for AI natural language processing is being able to search your photos with the ease of a conversational prompt. As a result, Google unveiled a feature called Ask Photos last year and started rolling out early access to users via Google Labs in September. The feature finally rolled out to me -- and the results were surprising. I was excited to try it out for myself.

Curiosity Mars rover discovers evidence of ripples from ancient Red Planet lake

news.ycombinator.com Stefanie Waldek 2025-06-05 10:28:53

Today, we know of Mars as a cold, dry desert, with patches of subterranean ice and ice caps at its poles. Billions of years ago, however, liquid water flowed freely across the planet. And, while NASA's various Mars rovers have uncovered signs that such water once existed on Mars , there's perhaps no better evidence of an ice-free, shallow lake than these two sets of ripples in Martian rock. In November 2022, NASA's Curiosity rover imaged the Amapari Marker Band in the foothills of Mount Sharp,

You can’t build a moat with AI (redux)

Last spring, we wrote an article called You can’t build a moat with AI.

After 20 years, math couple solves major group theory problem

news.ycombinator.com Leila Sloman 2025-06-05 02:09:56

After the conjecture was posed in the 1970s, dozens of mathematicians tried their hand at proving it. They made partial progress — and in the process they learned a great deal about groups, which are abstract objects that describe the various symmetries of a mathematical system. But a full proof seemed out of reach. Then Späth came along. Now, 20 years after she first learned about the problem and more than a decade after she met Cabanes, the two mathematicians have finally completed the proof.
