Writing Is Thinking

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-04 23:30:21

Writing scientific articles is an integral part of the scientific method and common practice to communicate research findings. However, writing is not only about reporting results; it also provides a tool to uncover new thoughts and ideas. Writing compels us to think — not in the chaotic, non-linear way our minds typically wander, but in a structured, intentional manner. By writing it down, we can sort years of research, data and analysis into an actual story, thereby identifying our main messag

This Nearly Perfect Gaming Keyboard Is Held Back by a Few Big Compromises

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-08 20:00:05

Finding the perfect keyboard can often feel like looking for a needle in a haystack. There's no shortage of mechanical keyboards offering a whole range of features and hardware options. While the "perfect keyboard" likely doesn't exist, there are certainly some good ones to be found. Finding a solid balance between hardware, features and price can be daunting. While Cherry's MX 8.2 TKL keyboard delivers fantastic hardware, there are compromises as well. I spent several weeks typing and gaming o

SteelSeries Rival 3 Gen 2 Review: Good Budget Gaming Mice

wired.com Henri Robbins 2026-01-08 21:30:00

Over the years, computer mice have become expensive. Everything has become expensive. It can be frustrating to look at a list of gaming mice and see even the cheapest options approaching $80, especially when games now cost $80 and new graphics cards regularly pass the $1,000 mark. This is where budget-oriented mice are perfect. Most high-end mice are past the point of diminishing returns for the average gamer, with most never needing the precision of a perfectly balanced, ultra-lightweight, 8,0

Google’s Phone app could make resuming on-hold calls easier (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-09 04:13:53

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Google is testing a new “Unhold” shortcut in call notifications through its Phone app. The new button replaces the “Mute” button whenever a user puts a call on hold. Although not yet live, this change would improve usability by allowing users to resume held calls more efficiently. Google doesn’t mess around that much with the Google Phone app. It makes sense too, as you don’t want to disturb muscle memory for people for crucial tasks like calls. But e

Galaxy S26 Ultra charging speed leaks: A big jump (for Samsung)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could get 60W wired charging speeds. Two other leakers claim that the phone will actually get 65W charging. Either option would be a significant upgrade over previous Samsung Ultra phones, which topped out at 45W. We recently heard that the Galaxy S26 Ultra could finally get faster wired charging, although we didn’t hear about a specific charging speed. However, the same source has now revealed a ke

Google TL;DR Android’s Handoff functionality is taking shape, with new options for cross-device file sharing now visible. We also saw glimpses of app sharing, which could allow you to access apps installed on other devices. The toggles and buttons are not active, which suggests that Google may still modify how these features function. Apple’s ecosystem is one of its most compelling selling points, and Google is eyeing the same success by working on its adaptation in Android. Some of the feat

Thawing vacuum-packed fish correctly Improper thawing of vacuum-packed fish can lead to a foodborne illness. Learn how to do it safely. Looking for vacuum-packed fish is an excellent way to purchase fish in the grocery store. Vacuum packaging keeps the fish from drying out by preventing water loss; it also can ensure the fish is packaged at peak quality.

Tesla’s Nightmare Continues as Musk Warns of ‘Rough Quarters’ Ahead

Tesla’s second-quarter earnings paint a grim picture: falling profits, slumping sales, and a reputation hit that keeps on hurting. The all-electric carmaker reported net income of $1.17 billion, down 16.3% from the same period in 2024. Revenue fell 12% to $22.5 billion from $25.5 billion a year earlier, marking Tesla’s second consecutive quarter of declining profits and revenue this year. The cause is clear: Tesla is selling fewer cars and cutting prices to chase demand. Deliveries fell 13.5%

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 Review: A Promising Update

It's hard not to like Samsung’s latest folding phones. Now in their seventh generation, the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 have reached a level of hardware refinement near perfection for their respective categories.

Will AI think like humans? We're not even close - and we're asking the wrong question

Westend61/Getty Images Artificial intelligence may have impressive inferencing powers, but don't count on it to have anything close to human reasoning powers anytime soon. The march to so-called artificial general intelligence (AGI), or AI capable of applying reasoning through changing tasks or environments in the same manner as humans, is still a long way off.

Building better AI tools

I’ve been reading this week about how humans learn, and effective ways of transferring knowledge. In addition, I’ve also had AI in the back of my mind, and recently I’ve come to the realization that not only is our industry building AI tools poorly, we’re building them backwards. Which, honestly, is really depressing to me because there is so much unrealized potential that we have available–is it not enough that we built the LLMs unethically, and that they waste far more energy than they return

Major rule about cooking meat turns out to be wrong

news.ycombinator.com Daniel Gritzer 2026-01-09 18:02:46

Contrary to common belief, resting meat isn’t really about retaining juices, but that doesn’t mean it’s pointless. Instead, it’s best understood as a temperature-control method for managing carryover cooking. To use it effectively, though, you have to completely rethink how the technique works and how to apply it. Is dark matter real? How do consciousness and memory actually work? And is it really necessary to rest your meat after cooking? These are the big, unresolved questions that keep scien
