Although lock screen widgets are currently exclusive to tablets, Google has confirmed they will be coming to phones in the Android 16 QPR1 release. Mat

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 QPR1 beta users are noticing a change to the weather at a glance icon. The icon now appears flat and colorless. This change is happening in QPR1 beta only, not stable Android 16. If you’re an Android 16 QPR1 beta user and noticed that At a Glance looks a little different lately, you’re not alone. Google has rolled out an update to the weather icons that appears to have users divided. At a Glance, which appears at the top of the Pixel Launcher,

Entropy of a Mixture

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-21 23:11:30

Entropy of a Mixture Given a pair ( p 0 , p 1 ) (p_0, p_1) (p0​,p1​) of probability density functions and an interpolation factor λ ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] , \lambda \in [0, 1], λ∈[0,1], consider the mixture p λ = ( 1 − λ ) p 0 + λ p 1 . p_\lambda = (1 - \lambda) p_0 + \lambda p_1. pλ​=(1−λ)p0​+λp1​. How does the entropy H ( p λ ) = − E ⁡ X ∼ p λ ln ⁡ p λ ( X ) H(p_\lambda) = -\E_{X \sim p_\lambda} \ln p_\lambda(X) H(pλ​)=−EX∼pλ​​lnpλ​(X) of this mixture vary as a function of λ \lambda λ?

techspot.com Daniel Sims 2025-09-12 11:56:00

Why it matters: Preserving retro games and hardware becomes increasingly difficult as the years pass and essential components grow rarer. Reverse engineering allows modders and repair shops to create substitutes that function identically to the original parts. Now, a new project aims to bring that level of flexibility to the original PlayStation. Italian engineer Lorentio Brodesco recently became the first person to successfully reverse-engineer the original PlayStation's motherboard, creating

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2 quietly swaps the positions of Wi-Fi and mobile network icons on the status bar. The new arrangement mirrors Apple’s approach on iOS and breaks years of established Android UX norms. If Google decides to go ahead with the change, it could reach Pixel devices with the Android 16 QPR1 stable release in September, and to the wider Android platform with Android 17 next year. It’s raining software updates! We’ve got iOS 26 beta and major
