You can still buy Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses for $76 off - here are the deals

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. Meta Ray-Bans have often been very difficult to find in stock at both retailers and online stores for the past two years -- and they rarely go on sale. But one of the best ways to not only get a 20% discount but also find some of the styles that have been discontinued or are rarely ever in stock is to use the little-known Meta Refurbished AI Glasses online store. I recently ordered a pair of Meta Ray-Bans in the Skylar s

Pulling an Inverse Conway Maneuver at Netflix (2023)

news.ycombinator.com Juan Ignacio Vimberg 2025-10-02 00:26:32

Pulling an Inverse Conway Maneuver at Netflix When I first joined the Netflix Platform team circa 2020, the Observability offering was composed of a series of tools serving different purposes. There was Atlas for metrics, Edgar for distributed tracing, Radar for Logs and Alerts, Lumen for dashboards, Telltale for app health, etc. It was a portfolio of about 20 different apps. Big and small, ranging from business-specific tools to analyze playback sessions to low-level tools for CPU profiling.

An engineering history of the Manhattan Project

news.ycombinator.com Brian Potter 2025-10-04 21:04:49

The Manhattan Project, the US program to build an atomic bomb during WWII, is one of the most famous and widely known major government projects: a survey in 1999 ranked the dropping of the atomic bomb as the top news story of the 20th century. Virtually everyone knows that the project built the bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And most of us probably know that the bomb was built by some of the world’s best physicists, working under Robert Oppenheimer at Los Alamos in New Mexico

Top model scores may be skewed by Git history leaks in SWE-bench

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-05 02:32:23

New VMScape attack breaks guest-host isolation on AMD, Intel CPUs

A new Spectre-like attack dubbed VMScape allows a malicious virtual machine (VM) to leak cryptographic keys from an unmodified QEMU hypervisor process running on modern AMD or Intel CPUs. The attack breaks the isolation between VMs and the cloud hypervisor, bypassing existing Spectre mitigations and threatening to leak sensitive data by leveraging speculative execution. The researchers highlight that VMScape does not require compromising the host and works on unmodified virtualization software

Two ways Apple is (wisely) being inclusive about its latest health features

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-10-05 18:15:15

Apple is sometimes accused of deliberately withholding new features from older devices for no good reason. For example, eyebrows were raised when dual capture video recording was restricted to the iPhone 17 when the same feature has been supported by third-party apps all the way back to the iPhone 11, so is clearly nothing to do with hardware capabilities.

"Live Translation with AirPods is not available if you are in the EU and your Apple Account Country or Region is also in the EU," the company said on its iOS feature availability page.

Why do solo game developers tend to get into fights with big tech engineers? Why do high-profile external hires to large companies often fizzle out?
