Jason Hiner/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. Apple's iPhone 17 lineup brings some of the biggest design changes the smartphone series has seen in years, and no two models better highlight this shift than the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The iPhone Air is one of the thinnest smartphones Apple has ever made, made for those who value a sleek, portable design. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro Max doubles down on power with a cutting-edge camera system and a new vapor c

Semlib Semlib is a Python library for building data processing and data analysis pipelines that leverage the power of large language models (LLMs). Semlib provides, as building blocks, familiar functional programming primitives like map , reduce , sort , and filter , but with a twist: Semlib's implementation of these operations are programmed with natural language descriptions rather than code.

Programming Deflation

news.ycombinator.com Kent Beck 2025-10-01 05:11:43

The genies are out of the bottle. Let’s take as a given that augmented coding is steadily reducing the cost, skill barriers, and time needed to develop software. (Interesting debate to be had—another day.) Will this lead to fewer programmers or more programmers? Economics gives us two contradictory answers simultaneously. Substitution . The substitution effect says we'll need fewer programmers—machines are replacing human labor. Jevons’. Jevons’ paradox predicts that when something becomes c

AirPods Pro 3 Review: Skating to Where the Puck Is Going, Not Where It Has Been

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2025-10-01 03:00:03

2025 Almost three years after Apple introduced the original AirPods Pro 2 (updated with USB-C in 2023) with category-defining sound quality and active noise cancellation (ANC), I can safely say that just about every company making ANC wireless earbuds has caught up or surpassed them, and often with buds that are sold for less than $250. Basic wireless earbuds features—good audio, good ANC, and good battery life—are table stakes, and each of these is improved on AirPods Pro 3. Apple’s third-gen

Writing a Good AI Image Prompt Isn't Hard, but You Need These Essential Elements

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-01 05:05:03

One of the first things I learned while testing AI image generators is that there are a lot of things that can go wrong when you're trying to get the image you see in your head to appear on your screen. If you've ever used an AI image or video generator, you know what I mean. I've spent the past year testing and reviewing different AI image generators, and I've generated hundreds of images across services like Google's nano bananas model, Midjourney and Dall-E. But the images I created haven't

iPhone 17 Pro vs. iPhone 14 Pro: Why I'm upgrading my three-year-old model
