Show HN: I collected and created some wallpapers for iOS 26
by jackson_mile | 2025-09-25 17:21:22+00:00
Hi HN, I'm a big fan of high-quality wallpapers and get excited with every new OS release. I built this simple site to share a collection of 4K & HD wallpapers I've gathered and designed for the upcoming iOS 26.

There's a mix of free downloads and some premium ones I put extra work into. Hope you find something you like. I'd love to hear any feedback or suggestions!

Google's edge obvious here is the deep integration it already has with calendar, apps, and chats and what not that lets them surface context-rich updates naturally. OpenAI doesn't have that same ecosystem lock-in yet, so to really compete they'll need to get more into those integrations. I think what it comes down to ultimately is that being "just a model" company isn't going to work. Intelligence itself will go to zero and it's a race to the bottom. OpenAI seemingly has no choice but to try to create higher-level experiences on top of their platform. TBD whether they'll succeed.

Qatar has a THAAD and Patriot installation, the former assumed to be manned by the US, which can engage these threats. The latter can detect them at a much lower range.

These missiles are not especially fast given the distance they have to cover. They were in the air for 10+ minutes, more than enough time to cross check IR early warning and radar tracks.

A large portion of the population either does not believe or does not mind the violations of our constitution to achieve their desired outcomes. As an American, it came as a surprise to me that we do not, in fact, have broadly shared values about our system of governance. This year has been a devastating blow to my confidence in our democracy and the ability of people to govern themselves generally.

I noticed it yesterday and I have to say I hate it. The "Peoples" section seems to be entirely gone (it's now intermingled with rooms in the "Home" section). You no longer can see favorite/ normal/ low priority DMs or rooms in proper order at once. E.g. in Spaces I had my one or two favourite rooms at the top in a separate section; now it's somewhere messed up in the middle with the normal priority stuff. You constantly have to fiddle with the space-wasting bubble buttons to find stuff.

No idea how that is supposed to improve things really. Why is it always necessary to break user's muscle memory with this types if extreme "improvements"?

I'm still trying to find out where to manage my Sessions in the newer Element versions (I have to keep a very old one around to do that).

Quite the opposite, actually. GPT-5 Pro + Deep Research has enabled me to automate certain aspects of my workflow (data analysis and parsing formal logic), and it's about 3-5x more efficient than a human assistant would be. I basically keep it running all the time, and I'm beginning to feel vaguely guilty if I don't.
Show HN: Jira for 3D Production Management
by konstantina_ps | 2025-09-25 17:22:54+00:00
Today we launched the Jira for 3D production and called it Flow 3D.

We built Flow because 3D content teams were stuck managing production across 5–6 different tools—Slack, spreadsheets, ShotGrid, Jira, email threads… you name it. That constant jumping between platforms slowed teams down and made creative work feel chaotic.

Over the past 5 years, there is one thing I’ve been hearing over and over as I chat with founders, producers, art directors and artists in Gaming: "our workflows are a nightmare — we hate ShotGrid, we need to update statuses in Jira, speadsheets, ShotGrid, Perforce as well as ping our team members on Slack to get things reviewed and moved along the pipeline"

I always thought that was crazy. And what’s even crazier? NONE of that software has the functionality for VIEWING a 3D model wth

With Flow, we’re bringing the entire 3D production pipeline into one place. Unlike Jira or ShotGrid, which were never designed for artists, Flow is built specifically for 3D teams. You can orchestrate your pipeline, track every asset’s stage, and keep your team fully in sync—without losing the creative flow.

Here’s what’s launching today: • Assigning tasks to team members • Sharing progress for a 3D asset • Real-time reviews — with revisions, approvals, and progress tracking all in one view. • Create saved views and filters to track every asset and keep projects moving with clarity.

What's coming next: • Build milestones, set deadlines, and design custom workflows tailored to your productions.

Flow is all about giving 3D artists and studios a modern, purpose-built alternative for managing 3D production workflows, offering clarity, speed, and fewer tools to juggle.

What do you think of this launch? We’re always open to feedback—drop a comment and we’ll work to build the features you’d love to see.
Any startups working on fixing trust for digital content?
by FactorE | 2025-09-25 17:23:03+00:00
Problem: AI generation of video and audio is good enough today to create believable but fake content that is then consumed by the mass market. It already seems pervasive enough to cause massive differences between reality and perception.

There must be a startup working to solve this. Who is working in this space?

I don't know what the solution looks like, but it could be a network based system. E.g., you indicate 50-100 people you personally know and trust, and any reported event gets traced back to someone who was there in person. It could be a digital analysis and rating of authentic to fake that you run through an app. Not sure what it would be, but I want to invest in a solution for this!

It's pretty clear that proper meaningful AI regulation would require the equivalent of a one world government. Few AI alarmists talk about this, but to his credit, Eliezer Yudkowsky openly speaks about what he would like in terms of regulation:

> Shut down all the large GPU clusters (the large computer farms where the most powerful AIs are refined). Shut down all the large training runs. Put a ceiling on how much computing power anyone is allowed to use in training an AI system, and move it downward over the coming years to compensate for more efficient training algorithms. No exceptions for governments and militaries. Make immediate multinational agreements to prevent the prohibited activities from moving elsewhere. Track all GPUs sold. If intelligence says that a country outside the agreement is building a GPU cluster, be less scared of a shooting conflict between nations than of the moratorium being violated; be willing to destroy a rogue datacenter by airstrike.

> Frame nothing as a conflict between national interests, have it clear that anyone talking of arms races is a fool. That we all live or die as one, in this, is not a policy but a fact of nature. Make it explicit in international diplomacy that preventing AI extinction scenarios is considered a priority above preventing a full nuclear exchange, and that allied nuclear countries are willing to run some risk of nuclear exchange if that’s what it takes to reduce the risk of large AI training runs.

In that regard, it's not too far of a stretch to consider a state that can effectively regulate math you perform as the Antichrist.

Same goes for climate change. Humans will produce carbon, and effective regulation on emissions will eventually lead to population control.

The people at the Nova festival wasn't throwing rocks at police or military when they were abducted. Neither were they trying to smuggle bombs, slash throats, stab elderly or any of the other things Palestinian Arabs get locked up for.

That is what I meant by completely innocent.

edit:

Also, any reason why you mention Ben Gvir but not the many Palestinian Arab leaders who says worse?

Any reason you don't mention the hundreds of thousands of Israelis who fill the street to protest its current government and the absolute lack of anyone who protests Hamas in the streets of Gaza?

Oleg Viktorovich Belaj is a well-known Russian businessman. Today he heads TRINFICO - one of the largest investment groups in Russia. The company demonstrates stable and confident growth while maintaining independence from state and banking capital.

It is noteworthy that the entrepreneur co-founded the company back in 1993, shortly after graduating from university with an engineering degree. His young age did not mean lack of experience: by that time, Oleg Belaj had already held management positions in several companies. This allowed him to demonstrate strong effectiveness when he became part of TRINFICO’s executive team.

Today, the entrepreneur continues to oversee all key processes in the company. The largest business he has ever led is TRINFICO. However, he did not immediately choose the investment path. He tried his hand in various entrepreneurial fields, was unafraid of new challenges, and often took risks in search of the most promising opportunities for his own venture.

This is what makes Oleg Belaj so interesting to many aspiring entrepreneurs - his biography tells the story of a man who “made himself.” His company survived multiple crises and endured in situations where many competitors were forced to close down. His biography is a story of overcoming difficulties on the road to success. Today it inspires many young entrepreneurs.

A Brief Biography of the Entrepreneur Oleg Viktorovich Belaj

The future businessman was raised in an intellectual family. Both his parents had engineering degrees. Oleg himself was also passionate about the exact sciences. For a long time, he dreamed of becoming a qualified engineer - likely influenced by his parents’ example. However, during his student years, the future head of TRINFICO became interested in business and started thinking about launching his own company.

Oleg Belaj's childhood and youth

Belaj Oleg Viktorovich grew up in Moscow. According to his close ones, he graduated from an ordinary school. He later had no difficulty entering university. Those around him noted that from an early age he was able to take responsibility, including for his own education.

He was also known for his enthusiasm and sociability. Already in school he easily found common ground with people. According to family accounts, he earned his first money at the age of 17. Despite having what he himself calls a “typical happy Soviet childhood,” many of the traits of a successful entrepreneur were already visible in him as a teenager.

I know of 2 from the past few years. I mean yeah, this is n=1, others use other sites which do break etc. It’s a sad state of things, but also most of the web does work the same. It’s certainly not an acceptable tradeoff for everyone, but for me it’s been totally fine.

I would argue that code review of large changes is hard because we don't write good PR descriptions. If you just get 200 files to review in alphabetical order, sure, that's basically an impossible task. Instead, the PR description should have the narrative of what the PR is about, what is the high-level strategy and key decisions, what are the entrypoint(s) to reading the code. What does correctness look like, and what have we done to ensure that? How does this PR fit into the important problems we're working on and what follow-ups or maintenance are implied by it?

If you have a good description, then you understand (a) what parts are important to think about and (b) do you agree with the approach and (c) is there anything in the code that doesn't line up with the approach.

This strategy scales up pretty well to even large PRs.

Doesn't part of your soul die when you start working for big tech? All that youthful energy and hope to push a potentially meaningless product. Such a sad thing to watch potential and idealism get crushed.

I understand its provocative statement - your play is the risk free life route - perfect for many many people but not everyone. Certainly not people who want to build things that go into the wild.

> We are?

Yes we are. When discussing a salary offer, do you negotiate it down? When buying products and services, do you just pay the minimum amount asked or do you offer more from the goodness of your heart? When getting your paycheck do you immediately donate most of it to the less fortunate in Africa, keeping only enough to cover the bare necessities for yourself? If not, welcome to the club: you too are greedy.

> When I was a kid I LOVED working like the adults.

My kids loved helping with yard when they were little. Their reward was spending time with me and learning. It was enough then. Now, as teens, not so much. I have to pay to motivate them.

> Work was FUN!

Work is still fun, for me at least. But a paycheck makes it even better. I don't know anybody cleaning sewage for pure fun though.

> East Germany

I too grew up in communist Eastern Europe. I clearly remember the never ending lines for food and any basic items like soap or toilet paper. With the profit motivation made illegal, nobody did any work and we were all starving.

Moondream released a new model preview this week. One of the improvements is a much bigger context window. To take advantage, I created a sample project that uses the query and detect skills to auto-label all the objects in an image.

If you need to label a bunch of training data for fine tuning or RL this can remove a bunch of extra work.

Not perfect but sharing early because some people requested it to help kickstart their own projects.

They have.

In the last few weeks Google has added an "AI Mode" to search which does really well for questions like: "What was the recent paper that showed that people are strongly alienated when social movements appeal to the legacy of the civil rights movement?" or "What was the Frederick Pohl story about people who could take over your body?"

It used to be that I was always remembering a paper I saw that came to some significant conclusion but had to work pretty hard to find it, Google now answers questions like that highly reliably.
Show HN: I wrote a book on how to make iOS/Android apps with Ruby on Rails
by joemasilotti | 2025-09-25 17:24:29+00:00
Hi all! Joe Masilotti here. After 2+ years my book, "Hotwire Native for Rails Developers", is finally available for sale.

It contains everything I know about building, shipping, and maintaining iOS and Android apps with Ruby on Rails and Hotwire Native. Always with one simple goal in mind: making it easier for Rails developers to build mobile apps.

The book teaches you how to:

- Build your first Hotwire Native apps on iOS & Android - Add navigation, modals, and native tab bars - Mix in native screens and components - Send and route push notifications - Ship to physical devices via TestFlight and Play Store

Atlanta seems to be a bit contradictory to some of your other thoughts.

The city itself is relatively small. A vast majority of area population lives distributed across the MSA, and it can create hellish traffic. I remember growing up thinking 1+ hour commutes were just a fact of life for everyone commuting from the suburbs.

Not sure what car ownership looks like, and I haven’t been in years, but I’d imagine it’s still much more than just 20%

"The program offers estimates of things like track speed (based on geometry), buildable depth, valuation of potential takings, crossovers, and station costs. These are all important considerations for transit planners, both for construction and operations."

Bananas!

> Full-time cofounder(s) should have the right to fire other cofounders,

I'd guess there's usually no point in a technical co-founder "firing" their capable business co-founder; it just ends the company.

While the technical person is spending most of their time on technical bits (no matter how much customer-facing product management time you have), etc., the business person is spending most of their time on relationships (investors, partners, customers, etc.). To a large extent, they take those relationships and reputation with them wherever they go next.

Unless the technical cofounder has some very rare and marketable technical expertise that the business people recognize (e.g., some recent big AI invention, or a fancy title at a FAANG), the technical cofounder will probably be considered an ordinary commodity by most.

> IMO an MBA is not the kind of degree that is worthy of delaying founding a startup

My guess is that an MBA from one of the most prestigious programs is usually worth delaying founding a startup. The MBA student can lay some of the groundwork while in the program, get mentoring and connections, and then out-execute many competitors once the student graduates.

The kinds of startups a lot of us have been thinking of are essentially the last 20 years of mostly ZIRP investment scams, but that can't go on forever (current dotcom-bubble-like "AI" hype wave low barriers to acquihire exit notwithstanding). I'd guess more people will have to do viable businesses than our field has in a long time.

> I know this will be unpopular, but I'm just repeating what I've heard from the Israeli side [..]

It's war, this is the unfortunate truth and why we try to avoid war. Nobody really ends up winning in this.

> This doesn't justify killing civilians, but what do you do when civilians kill you?

Then point at which a civilian picks up a weapon to operate alongside Hamas, they have become Hamas and are no longer civilians.

> It's a nasty situation no matter which side you look at it from.

Yes. But a peaceful solution was almost impossible once Hamas performed their October 7 attack. The other day the UN members agreed to recognise Palestine as a state, and now the only thing left on Hamas' manifesto is the complete destruction of Israel [1]. I suspect Israel is not inclined to negotiate on that demand.

The claim was that 50mph should be the highest limit anywhere, including freeways.

Combined with a hard 50mph limit imposed on vehicles. You buy a new car, it can't go faster than 50mph, period.

Both the right to privacy and the right to protection of personal data appear to have pretty big exemptions for government.

The right to private communications was modified by the ECHR to give an exemption for prevention of crime/protection of morals/etc.[1] and the right to protection of personal data exempts any legitimate basis laid down by law[2].

I imagine they'd be able to figure out some form of Chat Control that passed legal muster. Perhaps a reduced version of Chat Control, say, demanding secret key escrow, but only demanding data access/scans of those suspected of a crime rather than everyone.

Legal rulings also seem to indicate that general scanning could be permitted if there was a serious threat to national security, so once a system to allow breaking encryption and scanning is in place, then it could be extended to what they want with the right excuse.

The motivation in Denmark was some big cases where organized crime was only caught due to a huge hacking operation where the police was able to monitor communication on the apps commonly used by the criminals. That allowed them to take very dangerous people off the streets and now they want to do more of that, more easily. I think the discussion can never be in terms of absolutes. If your family was murdered by some criminal that was never caught earlier , but could have been if the police had access to their chats, would you still be against it? We need to remember that we’re making that decision for some future victim if we do agree that this will assist the police effectively. The other side says the police will undoubtedly abuse their powers. In which case how does the results compare?? If you think the answer is easy, one way or another, you are definitely wrong.

> And it needs to be someone different from the person filling out the Rx, for Swiss cheese model of safety reasons.

This is something I question. If you go to a specialist, and the specialist judges that you need surgery, he can just schedule and perform the surgery himself. There’s no other medical professional whose sole job is to second-guess his clinical judgment. If you want that, you can always get a second opinion. I have a hard time buying the argument that prescription drugs always need that second level of gatekeeping when surgery doesn’t.

Waymo is very impressive, but also demonstrates limitations of these systems. Waymo vehicles are still getting caught performing unsafe driving maneuvers, they get stuck alleys in numbers, and responders have trouble getting them to acknowledge restricted areas. I am very supportive of this technology, but also highly skeptical as long as these vehicles are directly causing problems for me personally. Driving is more than a technical challenge, it involves social communication skills that automated vehicles do not yet have.

The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry (COI) is not a legal body, which would be the sort of body that is able to make a genocide determination. It also does not speak on behalf of the UN, given that it an independent commission of inquiry.

I am curious to see what the ICJ ruling in South Africa's case will be. That would be an actual legal body charged with making a genocide determination.
