Anticipating the Pixel Watch 4's Key Upgrades and Features

The article praises Samsung's new tile design in the Galaxy Watch 8 series, which allows multiple tiles per page, greatly improving organization and usability. The author hopes Google will adopt a similar feature for the upcoming Pixel Watch 4, as current Wear OS tiles are less efficient. The article suggests that Google might be influenced by Samsung's innovation, especially with recent updates to Google's Wear OS and Fitbit apps, and encourages Google to 'steal' this idea to enhance their smartwatch interface.

Mathematicians Discover New Shapes and Patterns

Mathematicians have identified a 13-sided shape called "the hat" that can tile a surface without repeating, making it an aperiodic monotile. The hat is a polykite shape consisting of eight kites connected at their edges. The existence of an aperiodic monotile was purely theoretical until a research team led by mathematician David Smith and colleagues proved its existence in a preprint paper posted online this month. The discovery appears to answer a long-standing question in the field of geometry.
