Google’s best new camera feature is only for the Pixel 11 serieshttps://www.theverge.com/tech/980467/google-pixel-11-camera-looks-older-phonesArguably the coolest new photo feature for the Pixel 11 lineup is Google's new Camera Looks, which process image data differently at the sensor level to produce photos that don't have that "smartphone" look. The result is new styles like "Digi," which mimics the style of photos taken by older digital cameras. But to use Camera Looks, at least initially, you'll need to have one of Google's Pixel 11...Aug 14, 2026 5:35 PM

Design with a Soul: How to make your Vibe-coded site not look like AI Slophttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49287430I have some tips on how to make your site / app feel real and human even if it's vibe coded.- I'm not a graphics designer but I've worked with many and deeply interested in it for 15 years. - I led a UX team in a 50K+ organisation - I've launched 6+ businesses and did countless websites.So here's how I do it -- I'm not saying THIS IS THE WAY to do it. This is HOW I DO IT.1) Whiteboard. Sit your ass down, put some music on you find inspirational and imagine what you want your users to feel. What type of an "ambiance" this site should have? Energetic, calming, playful, serious? Pick 1 or 2 as your primary emotional anchors.2) Principles. You need to have these engrained in your bones. Less is more. If you try to do everything you do nothing. Design is an exercise in ruthless elimination. Read on design to build your internal mental heuristics library.3) Mental Image. Once you have a feel and direction decided (can change, but clarity is important) (For example, while I was building my cuAug 13, 2026 3:25 PM

MTG-I1 captures eclipse path of totality over Europehttps://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Videos/2026/08/MTG-I1_captures_eclipse_path_of_totality_over_EuropeYesterday between 20:26 and 20:34 CEST, parts of the Iberian peninsula experienced a total solar eclipse. This animation, composed of images from the Meteosat Third Generation Imager satellite (MTG-I1), caught the Moon’s dark shadow as it passed over Earth’s surface – converging with the advancing twilight shadow as dusk fell over Europe.Aug 13, 2026 8:30 AM

Show HN: Kery – comments on your PR with a video of the feature workinghttps://github.com/Kery-HQ/KeryI ship all of my code via different agents, mainly Claude Code and Codex. And with 5 different sessions running on different worktrees, the only way for me to know if something broke is once it gets to the deployment stage or production.I even use Claude's /pr-review skill and it does catch most of the errors, but most of them are at code level, and it does not really catch what happens at the UI / UX / functionality side. If there's a section entirely rendered orange, your CC skill might just be useless.So I built Kery; a platform that checks your PRs, reads the diff and descriptions to understand the change intent, opens your preview deployment in a real browser, logs in, and tries to perform the exact thing the PR is for, and provides you evidence of that thing working or not.The comment is the product. I wanted the artifact to be the evidence rather than an opinion; it reduces the cognitive load from your brain needing to process every PR for what it is, instead you get an image orAug 12, 2026 2:45 PM
