  • Gyromorph metamaterials could make photonic computers insanely fast
    November 14, 2025, 10:34 PM EST. Researchers are pursuing photonic computing, where light carries information instead of electrons, promising faster, more efficient processors. A key hurdle is steering microscopic light signals through chips without loss. The material must provide an isotropic bandgap to block stray light from every direction. NYU scientists have identified a new class of structures called gyromorphs that outperform existing designs in quasicrystals at blocking light from all angles. They built metamaterials whose properties come from architecture rather than chemistry and developed an algorithm to design structures with built-in correlated disorder-positioning elements between perfectly ordered and random. This advance could enable robust, direction-independent light routing for future photonic computers, moving beyond current approaches that trade off complete light blockade against angular coverage.
  • Big Short investor warns AI bubble as Meta and Oracle depreciation questions draw scrutiny
    November 14, 2025, 10:32 PM EST. Jim Morrow and Michael Burry warn that the AI boom is crowded and fragile, with Big Tech profits allegedly built on depreciation tricks. Burry, who deregistered his firm Scion Asset Management, says Oracle and Meta understate depreciation, inflating reported earnings by roughly 27% and 21% through 2026-2028. They argue companies have quietly stretched asset lifespans for GPUs and data-center gear to boost present profits. The debate shifts from fundamentals to accounting choices amid a GPU/data-center sprint, suggesting a slow burn that could snap into a sudden unwind. As investors watch for how much of today's AI-era gains rest on opaque schedules, the critique questions whether Big Tech's profits are sustainable or a cycle's distortion.
  • The A&D Minute: Mapping the Future of Direct-to-Device Satellite Connectivity
    November 14, 2025, 10:30 PM EST. The D2D satellite market is at a pivotal inflection point as technology meets geopolitical urgency. Governments are prioritizing indigenous connectivity, broadening the addressable market beyond niche use. With expanding LEO constellations and new design forms, satellites can access weak mobile signals and inter-satellite links at lower costs. Three enablers are driving mass adoption: novel satellite designs, falling production costs, and leveraged constellations that reduce launch and capex hurdles. Spectrum remains the critical glue, powering fast private- and public-sector deployments. A surge of private equity is flocking to spectrum assets and scalable satellite buses, signaling a shift from high-risk space assets to repeatable, revenue-generating platforms. The target is hundreds of millions of D2D users by 2030, contingent on regulatory harmonization and coordination between space and terrestrial standards.
  • OnePlus 15 vs OnePlus 13: Can software save a weaker camera?
    November 14, 2025, 10:26 PM EST. OnePlus 15 introduces a software-first camera approach after ending its Hasselblad partnership, with a new DetailMax Engine intended to deliver more natural-looking images. It adds higher-res 26MP captures by merging multiple 12MP frames with a single 50MP raw frame, all powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Hardware-wise, the main sensor shifts from the OnePlus 13's Sony LYT-808 (50MP, 1/1.4", 1.12µm, f/1.6) to the OnePlus 15's Sony IMX906/LYT-700 (50MP, 1/1.56", 1.0µm, f/1.8). In practice, the 13 tends to deliver a punchier, higher-contrast look, while the 15's processing aims for a more natural tone and finer detail. The question remains: can software alone overcome hardware differences in real-world photo quality between these two gens?
  • Valve's bold 2026 Steam Machine reboot aims to blur PC and living-room gaming
    November 14, 2025, 10:24 PM EST. Valve is returning to the living room with a console-like Steam Machine set for 2026, roughly PS5-equivalent in specs. Not a mass-market device, but a lever to expand the Steam ecosystem and living-room spending. Following the Steam Deck's success, Valve leans on the same software foundation-SteamOS and Proton-to blur PC/console lines and reach PC-curious gamers. The move signals an ecosystem war, not just a hardware race, as Valve may absorb hardware losses to grow software revenue via storefront purchases. Steam's ongoing momentum (billions in revenue) supports this strategy, with Valve taking tiered platform cuts on game sales. If successful, the Steam Machine could anchor Steam's storefront further in living rooms.
