Google Translate could soon get some major AI enhancements, like the ability to select different AI models and a game-like practice mode, according to a report from Android Police on Monday. Android analyst AssembleDebug looked into the Google Translate app's latest build, version 9.15.114, and found what appears to be new changes to the user interface. At the top, there's a new model selector, Fast and Advanced. Fast would presumably be for quick translation tasks, like deciphering menu items.

How Could Frodo Be in ‘The Hunt for Gollum’?

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-11-25 16:00:19

This weekend, Ian McKellen had a bit of Hobbiton-disturber-of-the-peace energy about himself when he revealed at a fantasy convention in London that Frodo Baggins would appear in Andy Serkis’ upcoming Lord of the Rings prequel movie, The Hunt for Gollum. Frodo is far from the only familiar face who has been teased as making a potential appearance in the film (due out in 2027), but he is a particularly interesting one considering the chronology of events we already know from Tolkien’s books.

Structured (Synchronous) Concurrency

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-25 21:02:15

Structured (Synchronous) Concurrency @_fsantanna I have recently learned about Structured Concurrency (SC), which supports nested coroutines with tied lifetimes. There are a number of libraries (Dill, Trio, Effection), and even language mechanisms in Swift and Kotlin. The similarities with Esterel and derived imperative synchronous languages (ISLs) is noteworthy. However, it seems that no bridges between these worlds (ISLs & SC) have been built. Research in ISLs dates back to the early 80s, a

As the sun continues the tumultuous peak of its 11-year cycle, more instances of aurora borealis have been expected. The most recent instance was earlier in August when auroras lit up the skies in 18 states. It seems the Earth is in for another battering of solar material as another aurora has been forecast for Monday night, and it should be a pretty decent one for states in the northern US.
