Upcoming coordinated security fix for all Matrix server implementations

Hi all, Over the last 6 months a major project has been underway by the Element server team and the Matrix.org Foundation security team to investigate “state resets”: scenarios where Matrix’s state resolution algorithm can give unexpected results. As part of this work we’ve identified two high severity protocol vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-49090; the other not yet allocated a CVE). Given the security implications of a federation protocol vulnerability, we’ve shared details under embargo over the

Samsung announces major security enhancements coming to One UI 8

Keeping AI data secure With AI tools taking an increasing role in day-to-day smartphone use, protecting user inputs has be

Functions Are Vectors (2023)

Functions are Vectors Conceptualizing functions as infinite-dimensional vectors lets us apply the tools of linear algebra to a vast landscape of new problems, from image and geometry processing to curve fitting, light transport, and machine learning. Prerequisites: introductory linear algebra, introductory calculus, introductory differential equations. This article received an honorable mention in 3Blue1Brown’s Summer of Math Exposition 3! Functions as Vectors Vectors are often first introd

Nothing Says the Phone 3 Isn’t One Big Gimmick, but I’m Not So Sure

Nothing CEO Carl Pei wants you to know one thing: the startup’s smartphones aren’t just relying on a schtick. The Phone 3, which was finally unveiled this week after seemingly never-ending leaks and teasers, is being billed as the company’s “true flagship,” which means… to be honest, I don’t know what the hell it means. But it’s clear that Nothing sees it as its most premium phone yet, which is evident not just through its own messaging but also its starting price. The Phone 3 costs $800—more th

Nothing’s Phone 3 Really Goes Full-On Anti-iPhone, Huh?

After a seemingly never-ending drip of leaks and teases, Nothing’s Phone 3 is finally here, along with what’s shaping up to be a divisive new aesthetic. The eye-catching Android phone, which was unveiled during a London launch event on Tuesday, will cost $799 and is being billed as the company’s “first true flagship.” To sell its premium package, Nothing is leaning into a new triple camera system, a refreshed design, and a circular Glyph “Matrix” display that, honestly, looks pretty damn fun. L

I Finally Tried the Nothing Phone 3 and There's a Lot I Like

After months of rumors and teases, the Nothing Phone 3 has finally been unveiled at a Tuesday launch event in London. Nothing is calling the phone its "first true flagship" and with good reason; the Phone 3 has higher specs and other quirky new features (like the Glyph Matrix) that set it apart from its cheaper siblings. I got to spend some time using the phone at the launch and while it was only a quick look, I'm already quite impressed. The Nothing Phone 3 will go on sale next week in the US

Nothing Just Killed Its Phone's Flashy Glyph Interface. I Think the Replacement Is Better

Nothing just announced its long-awaited "first true flagship," the Nothing Phone 3, and killed off one of its most popular and unique phone features in the process. The flashing lights that crisscrossed the back of its previous phones, known as the Glyph Interface, is gone. In its place is something new -- a round black and white screen on the rear of the phone, adjacent to the cameras, which Nothing is calling the Glyph Matrix. With an interface of monochrome dots, the Matrix can show a range

Nothing launches Phone 3: The new face of ‘affordable’ flagships

Earlier this year, we saw Nothing take high-quality telephoto photography to the midrange space with the Phone 3a Pro and its periscope zoom. Change like that is the name of the game for Nothing in 2025, as the company reconsiders some past approaches to hardware, software, and even sales of its smartphones. And while some of the changes surrounding the Nothing Phone 3 have been more controversial than others, they ultimately come together to give us one curiously compelling package. Today in L

From selfie mirror to Magic 8 Ball, here’s what you can do with the Nothing Phone 3’s Glyph Matrix

TL;DR The Nothing Phone 3 replaces Nothing’s signature Glyph Interface LED lights with a monochrome micro-LED display called Glyph Matrix. Glyph Matrix supports customizable notifications, app interactions, games, camera countdowns, and live indicators. The device features a dedicated Glyph Button to control these functions. There’s also a red indicator on the back that lights up when video recording. After weeks of teasing and hyping, Nothing has just launched the Nothing Phone 3. Not only

Nothing Phone 3 hands-on: A tiny, playful dot-matrix screen in the company's most expensive phone yet

With the third generation of its smartphone series, Nothing made the unusual move to launch the cheaper ‘a’ line first, unveiling the Phone 3a and 3a Pro in March . Now, it’s time for its latest flagship. The Nothing Phone 3, starting at $799 (with a $899 option with 16GB of RAM) goes up against giants like the Google Pixel 9 and Samsung Galaxy S25 — a competitive slice of the smartphone world. Once again, though, there’s nothing in the market that quite resembles a Nothing, as the company attem

Calculating the Fibonacci numbers on GPU

Calculating the fibonacci numbers on GPU 21 Jun, 2025 In this blogpost we will show how to perform very fast calculation of the Fibonacci sequence using GPU programming. In this blogpost we will employ Thrust an NVIDIA library which uses concepts from modern C++ to make GPU programming easy. Introduction Scan is one of the fundamental examples for parallelizable algorithms. If you are interested in the foundations of the algorithm I refer you to a previous blogpost where I implemented scan i

Here how the Nothing Phone 3’s new Glyph Matrix will work

Nothing TL;DR Nothing’s new Glyph Matrix is a compact, programmable system replacing the original Glyph Interface on the upcoming Phone 3. The micro-LED cluster enables new features like custom animations, symbols, and reactive lighting while maintaining app-based notifications. Nothing says the design change allowed it to reclaim internal space and enhance the Phone 3’s visual identity with a smaller, circular layout. Nothing has revealed how its new Glyph Matrix system will work on the Not

Nothing Phone 3 says goodbye to Glyph Interface, hello to Glyph Matrix

TL;DR Nothing teases its upcoming Phone 3 with a new design element called “Glyph Matrix.” The teaser suggests dot matrix-style lighting on the back of the device, potentially for more intricate light patterns. Previously leaked renders of the Phone 3 do not align with the newly teased Glyph Matrix design. In typical Carl Pei fashion, the Nothing Phone 3 hype train is at full speed. We’ve just about recovered from the heartbreak after learning about the Phone 3’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor
