Amazing News Aggregator App: Highly Customizable & Personalized

This news aggregator app is exactly what I was looking for. With a great UI, endless feed customization options, concise summaries, and a political leaning scale, it delivers exactly what it promises. I spent about 20 minutes fine-tuning my preferences, exploring the hundreds (if not thousands) of options, and now my feed perfectly curates the latest news I care about. One suggestion for the developers: add an author/outlet following feature with a dedicated "Following" page, potentially integrated with an "Explore" section for discovering new sources. This could be easily implemented within the bottom navigation, allowing users to swipe between these two views. Otherwise, the app is incredible!

32-bit RISC-V Processor Built from Molybdenum Disulfide

2025-04-11

Researchers have created a groundbreaking 32-bit RISC-V processor using molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), a significant advancement in 'beyond silicon' hardware. Unable to dope MoS2 like silicon to adjust threshold voltage, they cleverly used different metal wiring (aluminum and gold) and embedding materials. Machine learning optimized transistor combinations. The resulting processor, with 5900 transistors, boasts a 99.8% chip-level yield, despite slower speeds, and implements the full 32-bit RISC-V instruction set. While initially limited to low-power applications like sensors, its future potential is vast.

Global PC and Smartphone Market Growth Slows, India Poised to Benefit

UBS and Gartner have significantly lowered their global PC and smartphone market growth forecasts due to trade tariffs and macroeconomic uncertainties impacting consumer demand. Global PC shipments are expected to grow only 2% in 2025 and 2026, while smartphone shipments will grow 1% and remain flat, respectively. The US market will be disproportionately affected, with PC demand expected to decline. However, India is poised to benefit as Apple and Samsung shift production away from China to avoid US tariffs. Manufacturers are diversifying from China, strengthening India's role in hardware manufacturing.

Google AI Search: Hallucinations More Convincing Than Facts?

2025-05-31

The author attempted to use Google AI search to find an old IBM PS/2 server model, only to discover the AI repeatedly giving fabricated and contradictory answers, even inventing a non-existent model, "PS/2 Model 280," and its specifications. While the AI occasionally provides the correct answer, the incorrect answers are more convincing because they are detailed and appear realistic. This highlights the potential for significant errors in AI search results; even if an answer sounds convincing, it may not correspond to reality. Users should exercise caution.

Oldest Whale Bone Tools Found, Dating Back 20,000 Years

Oldest Whale Bone Tools Found, Dating Back 20,000 Years

Scientists have unearthed the oldest known evidence of humans using whale bones to make tools, dating back approximately 20,000 years. Discovered in the Bay of Biscay near Spain and France, these narrow projectiles were crafted from the bones of blue whales, fin whales, sperm whales, and other species. Researchers believe ancient humans likely scavenged beached whales, repurposing their bones for hunting reindeer or bison, rather than actively hunting whales themselves. This discovery, published in Nature Communications, highlights the importance of coastal resources for early human survival and pushes back the timeline of whale bone tool use.

The team chose to maintain it with Xfbdev, prioritizing bug fixes, security improvements, and occasional new features because TinyX servers are much smaller than Xorg can be. Version 1.2.0 was chosen over 1.3.0 due to input issues in the latter. The design emphasizes minimalism and full functionality, omitting xkb, xinput, xinerama, and gl.
