Chromagraph Camera is exactly the camera app I’ve been looking for on iPhone

Last week, movie director Rian Johnson announced a surprise new camera app for iPhone that reimagines what a smartphone photo should look like. Many people would agree that Apple’s iPhone photos are a tad bit overprocessed.
iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo introduced a new film texture option, but in my view, it’s a bit too exaggerated. Chromagraph Camera, on the other hand, feels pretty perfect.

阅读全文SpaceX Teams Up With Qualcomm to Build a Nationwide 5G Network
The company that put thousands of routers in orbit is now coming down to earth: steel towers, rooftop leases, zoning boards and all. Here's what's planned, how 5G works, and why the hard part isn't the rockets.
Back in February 2020, I wrote a parody called "SpaceX Starlink Master Plan", in the voice of a certain CEO. It copied the "trickle-down" structure of Tesla's master plan, in four steps:
- Build a bulky, expensive terminal for professionals.
- Use that money to build a rooftop consumer terminal.
- Use that money to build "a low cost and high volume mobile phone."
- Build an interstellar communication system for Mars and beyond.
Fake-Elon also bragged that Starlink could beat 5G because the carriers "need to deploy a lot more cell sites," while Starlink doesn't "need to pay site rentals and backhaul." For the astronomers, he promised to paint every satellite chroma green "so they can be easily removed in photoshop."
Six and a half years later, steps 1 and 2 happened, if not quite in that order (consumers came first): millions of pizza-box dishes, on roofs and on boats. Step 3 took a turn I didn't see coming. SpaceX never built a StarPhone; it made every phone a StarPhone, beaming signals straight to the one already in your pocket. And now comes the twist the parody never imagined: SpaceX is about to pay site rentals. Lots of them.
For about 30 years, American mobile service has worked like this: three giant companies own the networks (the airwaves, the radios bolted to the towers, and your monthly bill), and everyone else rents from them. Not even the giants own most of the towers anymore. Over a decade ago they sold or long-term leased them to landlords like American Tower and Crown Castle, and now pay rent like everybody else. Upstarts have tried to break in. Most have ended up as footnotes, or as a Boost Mobile ad.
Now a rocket company wants a go. On November 4, 2026, SpaceX and Qualcomm announced a multi-year deal under which Qualcomm supplies the core radio silicon and software for a nationwide terrestrial 5G network under the Starlink Mobile brand. SpaceX already has phone service coming down from orbit. This time the plan is phone service coming across, from tens of thousands of ordinary cell sites. Construction starts in 2027; when you can actually get service from them, nobody has said.
So: what exactly was announced, how does the technology work, and how many billions of dollars and zoning hearings stand between SpaceX and your SIM card?
1. The Announcement: Starlink Gets a Ground Game
What SpaceX said
The short version:
- Qualcomm supplies the guts of the radio access network (RAN): the radio-unit and baseband platforms (chips plus reference designs) and the commercial-grade Layer 1 software, all from its Dragonwing cellular infrastructure line. SpaceX builds the actual boxes around them. Neither company disclosed the dollar value.
- Scale: "Tens of thousands of sites," according to the announcement, and Qualcomm executive vice president Durga Malladi expects the rollout to "ramp up pretty rapidly." Unconfirmed press reports say SpaceX is talking to tower owners about access to as many as 80,000 sites; no tower partners have been named.
- Timing: Tower deployment starts in 2027. No launch date for terrestrial service has been given. Separately, SpaceX is targeting early 2028 to switch on its next-generation "full 5G quality" satellite service.
- Ambition: a genuine fourth national carrier that owns its own network, not just another reseller.
Malladi called it "huge," and agreed with Light Reading that it's Qualcomm's biggest network deal since 3G. For a company best known for the modem in your phone, that's a big deal.
Wait, what's Dragonwing?
Dragonwing, launched in February 2025, is Qualcomm's brand for its industrial, networking and infrastructure silicon, the chips that go into things other than phones.
The Dragonwing toolbox (the deal announcement names the QRU100 and QDU100 platforms specifically):
|
Component |
What it is |
Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
|
QRU100 |
Radio unit platform supporting 64T64R massive MIMO (64 transmit, 64 receive paths) |
Up on the tower, behind the antenna |
|
QDU100 / X100 |
Distributed-unit Layer 1 baseband platform; its card form, the X100, is an inline PCIe accelerator (35 W max) that slots into ordinary Dell or HPE servers |
In a cabinet at the base of the tower or a nearby edge site |
|
QTR transceivers |
The RF transceiver chips that turn bits into radio waves and back |
Inside the radio |
|
AI features + RAN Automation Suite |
AI beam prediction, uplink tuning and factory calibration built into the platforms, plus a separate network-management suite |
Everywhere, apparently, because it's 2026 |
This gear has been deployed before, though not at this scale. Vietnam's Viettel runs Qualcomm-based radios across "a few thousand sites," and Qualcomm chips have shown up inside radios from NEC and Mavenir (which has since quit making radios). SpaceX is about to become its first customer at continental scale.
Qualcomm handles the physical layer, the hard real-time signal math. SpaceX is expected to write its own Layer 2, Layer 3 and core network software on top. As Malladi put it, "They still have to do the Layer 2, the Layer 3, and so on." That's very SpaceX: buy the chips and own the software, the same way it treats rocket engines and satellite buses.
The airwaves SpaceX has lined up
Radios are useless without airwaves, and in about 13 months SpaceX has agreed to spend roughly $28 billion on spectrum (not all of it paid yet):
- EchoStar (September 2025): about 50 MHz of 2 GHz AWS-4 and H-Block spectrum for about $17 billion (half cash, half SpaceX stock), plus roughly $2 billion of EchoStar's debt interest. In November 2025 SpaceX added a 15 MHz uplink-only AWS-3 slice (1695–1710 MHz) for about $2.6 billion in stock, for a total of roughly $19.6 billion. The FCC approved the deal in May 2026 and allowed the spectrum to be used from space, on the ground, or both, which SpaceX CFO Bret Johnsen calls crucial. The final closing, when SpaceX actually pays, is expected around late 2027.
- Grain Management (October 2026): up to 14 MHz of paired, nationwide 800 MHz low-band spectrum for a reported $8 billion (terms undisclosed; FCC approval pending). These airwaves started life at Nextel, passed to Sprint and then T-Mobile, which sold them to private investor Grain for about $3.6 billion ($2.9 billion in cash plus Grain's 600 MHz licenses) in a deal that closed in August 2026. Grain flipped them to SpaceX two months later for more than double that, which suggests either very

DialFork: a benchmark for procedural hallucination in conversational agents [R]
Hi all, author here (Idiap Research Institute, joint work with Logitech). We recently released DialFork and thought it might interest people here. It's a benchmark for a failure mode of LLM agents that is easy to miss: every turn is fluent and factual, the tool calls are correct, yet the agent stops following the procedure it was given. For example, asked for the weather, it fetches the forecast (correct tool call) but never tells you, and starts asking you to rate its service instead.
Most steps of a conversational procedure aren't tool calls but things the agent has to say: asking, confirming, telling the result. When an agent drifts from these steps, we call it procedural hallucination: a third axis, alongside factual accuracy and correct tool use, and one that has been largely overlooked. To our knowledge, DialFork is the first benchmark aimed at measuring this axis: what the agent has to say, and in what order.
How it's built: we simulate dialogues where an agent follows its workflow (24 tasks, 12 domains), then fork them: we replay each one and, at a chosen turn, give the agent an instruction that makes it drift, in different, complementary ways. That gives over 36k dialogues where we know where each drift starts and how far it goes, checked with 30 human annotators and an LLM judge calibrated on them.
Three tasks, from the turn to the whole set. Because we know where each drift starts, and that an earlier drift goes further, we define three tasks that measure procedural hallucination at different levels:
- The turn (Task 3). Given a dialogue, either whole or turn by turn as it unfolds (streaming), find the turn where the drift starts, or say there is none. Useful as a live guardrail.
- The dialogue (Task 2). Given a correct dialogue and its hallucinated versions, measure how far each one drifts from it; the earlier a version drifts, the larger its distance should be. A dialogue and its own hallucinated versions talk about the same thing; what sets them apart is how they unfold. Today, comparing dialogues means comparing their content, with embeddings and semantic similarity. This task opens a new dimension, procedural distance. Useful for retrieving or clustering conversations by how they went, not just by what they're about.
- The set (Task 1). Given a set of correct dialogues and a set of hallucinated ones, output a single procedural distance between the two sets as a whole, comparing them as distributions rather than matching dialogues one to one. Useful for monitoring agents, e.g. whether they drift after a model upgrade, or whether a user simulator's dialogues unfold like real ones.
Open problems, and a leaderboard to track them. In the paper, we report first results on all three tasks, from embedding-based distances to streaming detectors and zero-shot LLMs. They leave plenty of room. To track progress, each task has its own track on a public leaderboard on Hugging Face; adding your method takes a single CSV file of predictions.
Everything is open (data, code, every prediction from the paper, and the human judgments), and we hope it's a useful starting point for the community:
- Leaderboard: https://huggingface.co/spaces/DialFork/leaderboard
- Code: https://github.com/idiap/dialfork
- Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.21561
