techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-07-30 22:00:00

Cloud seeding startup Rainmaker is partnering with Atmo, an AI-powered meteorology startup, the companies exclusively told TechCrunch. The two operate on complementary ends of the weather system: Atmo studies atmospheric patterns to forecast weather events, while Rainmaker digests such data in an attempt to squeeze more precipitation out of weather systems. Under the partnership, Atmo will use its deep learning models to help Rainmaker identify clouds that have potential for seeding. The forec

A cloud-seeding startup did not cause the Texas floods

In the wake of a disaster, it’s not uncommon for people to look for answers anywhere they can find them. The devastating floods in Texas are no exception. There are many potential reasons why so many people were killed by the swiftly rising waters, but one that some people have settled on is a practice known as cloud seeding. They claim that a cloud-seeding startup known as Rainmaker caused the storm to drop more rain than it otherwise would have. However, the data does not back up their concer

The European wood pigeon helped me appreciate its omnipresent city cousins

news.ycombinator.com Ben Crair 2025-08-20 11:24:52

As I read more about the Columbidae, though, I came to appreciate pigeons for more than just their beauty. Their big appetites are crucial to the health of forests around the globe. Researchers observing fig trees in Malaysia once found that green pigeons consumed far more fruit than any other animal in the jungle, visiting some trees more often than all other animals combined. Most animals defecate seeds near the parent tree, but pigeons are long-distance fliers who retain seeds in their guts l

C++ Seeding Surprises (2015)

news.ycombinator.com M.E. O'Neill 2025-08-20 07:11:40

Properly seeding random number generators doesn't always get the attention it deserves. Quite often, people do a terrible job, supplying low-quality seed data (such as the system time or process id) or combining multiple poor sources in a half-baked way. C++11 provides std::seed_seq as a way to encourage the use of better seeds, but if you haven't thought about what's really going on when you use it, you may be in for a few surprises. In contrast to C++11, some languages, such as popular script

I tried Canva’s photo editor to see if it could replace my favorite free app

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-14 22:00:17

Megan Ellis / Android Authority I’ve been using Canva for years, mostly for simple designs. So when I saw that Canva had rolled out a new photo editing tool, which is more advanced that the simple tweaks you can make in a design, I was interested in trying it out. I stumbled across a useful feature that’s not in my favorite photo-editing app Snapseed, so I wondered if Canva could actually replace the free app’s place in my workflow.

Snapseed sprouts its first new growth in years, as major update blooms

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-15 18:51:17

Megan Ellis / Android Authority TL;DR Google has rolled out a big update to the Snapseed app for iPhone and iPad. The update refreshes the look and adds a new “Faves” tab. It appears there are no plans to update the Android version. You may remember Snapseed, the photo editing app Google acquired back in 2012. It’s been a while since Snapseed received a big update, but it looks like one just rolled out. The catch is that the update is only available for the iPhone and iPad. Spotted by 9to5G

Google surprisingly brings back Snapseed with major 3.0 update on iPhone

9to5mac.com Abner Li 2025-09-17 22:40:00

Google today surprisingly released a major 3.0 update for Snapseed that entirely redesigns the photo editing app on iPhone and iPad. Given the lack of major updates in several years, it seemed that Google abandoned Snapseed. Since the app worked locally and has no server-side component, it seemed like the company was happy to let the beloved editor linger. The last notable update to Snapseed for iOS was in 2021, with very minor updates in 2023 and 2024. Google today released version 3.0.0 of S
