I hope consumers return these phones in droves like Windows RT and Windows 10 S. The issue is that sideloading isn’t an immediate concern—users would only realize the limitation later, when it’s too late to return the device.

Return them and get what instead? Every other popular phone platform is even more restrictive.


I bet that for the second random number in the same session, it is significantly less likely for an LLM to repeat its first number compared to two random draws. LLMs seem to mimic the human tendency to consider 7 as the most random, and I feel like repeating a random number would be perceived as not random.

The random numbers seem to be really stable on the first prompts!

For example:

pick a number between 1 - 10000

> I’ll go with 7,284.


Yeah I got 7284 as well on the first try. My second session got 7384.

ah, got 7421 too. I then it retry and got 7429.

me > pick a number between 1 to 10000

chatgpt > 7429

me > another one

chatgpt > 1863


The brain does optimization during sleep. Is that something llms can benefit from?

Sleeping moves your memories from your working memory in your neocortex to your long term memory in your hippocampus. If you were an LLM, sleeping would basically move the contents from your adaptive system/memory prompt to the underlying model weights. It's weird that noone has really done that yet, but I can understand why the big AI chat corpos don't do it: You'd have to store a new model with new weights for each user if you don't want to risk private info spilling to others. If you have a billion users, you simply cant do that (at least not without charging obscene amounts of money that would prevent you from having a billion users in the first place). Current LLM architectures that start with a clean slate for every conversation are really good for serving to billions of people via cloud GPUs, because they can all run the exact same model and get all their customization purely from the input. So if we ever get this, it'll probably be for smaller, local, open models.

On a much simpler level, llm frameworks could re-summarize their context to keep relevant, use-case-specific facts, cleanup and also organize long and short term memory on some local storage, etc. So kind of like sleep. I think these examples are low hanging fruit to improve the perceived intelligence of LLM systems (so probably they're already used somewhere).

We already have that for a while. It works to some degree, but context tokens simply don't offer the level of compression that model weights do. At least with current approaches that keep the context human-readable.

For those who don't understand, Biden sold the Helium not Trump - he took office on Jan 20, 2025.

"Current law (cira 2013) requires BLM to sell off the crude helium remaining in the Federal Helium Reserve in order to repay the U.S. Treasury the $1.3 billion debt incurred creating it. This debt will be repaid this fiscal year and that, as a consequence, the helium program will terminate at the end of the current fiscal year (October 1, 2013), absent Congressional action. Currently, the Federal Helium Reserve supplies roughly 40% of domestic and 30% of global helium demand. Loss of access to the Federal Helium Reserve would result in significant disruptions to a large number of critical U.S. industries." https://www.energy.senate.gov/services/files/494b2f9e-c8f5-4...

Sounds like Obama kept the gas taps flowing, instead of locking it up because authorization to sell it had expired. Here is the whole record: https://www.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/house-bill/527/...


> too far left wing

> biden

uhm...


His admin was by far the most left wing in history, only the actual far left think otherwise

Please don't call everyone names for not agreeing with you.

There are billions of people in the world, and you are one, and you have your one set of opinions out of billions.

Nobody endowed you or your opinions with any sort of infallibility or superiority over others.


How does he compare with Nixon, who created the EPA?

Biden is an anti-abortion Catholic Zionist who wouldn't even do anything (but empty talk) to raise the minimum wage during high inflation. He enabled a genocide so his gods would reward him. I guess he would be a radical commie to the extreme far right. Nixon, JFK, LBJ and Lincoln, for example, signed into law actual left policies (whether they agreed with them or not-- none were lefties).

Words have meaning. Someone a bit left of a Nazi is not on the Left even if they are to the left of the person speaking.

The Democrats are a right-wing party. They spend more energy attacking the left than they do, the Republicans. Look at what they did to the center-left Sanders and their constant lawfare to keep left parties, like the Greens and Peace and Freedom, off the ballot and out of the debates (last election, the Greens spent half their campaign funds fighting these frivolous lawsuits from the Democratic party who seek to subvert democracy [Republicans attack anyone more left/darker than them, through voter suppression and other techniques to also subvert democracy]). There is very little daylight between the two. They serve the same masters, Oligarchs and Israel.

The United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them. - Julius Nyerere

This is downvoted, but comments mentioning pedophilia, Israel controlling the US, and other conspiratorial tropes are getting upvoted. And the folks will leave here believing still that a pro-Israel bias exists here.


Lesser of two evils, I guess. People are tired of Israel/The US annihilating girl schools with expensive missile strikes and then have to hear from Netanyahou that it was actuall an Hamas/Hezbollah/Whatever hidden base. Also notice that you won't find any support for these terrorist organizations here, so I don't know what listing them achieves.


I don't see how pedophilia is a conspiratorial trope. The Epstein files are real. Yes it sucks that most of our leaders are the absolute bottom of the barrel of what humanity can offer, but unfortunately it's also the truth.

And I also don't think anyone thinks Israel controls the US. They don't. Rather, the US will do almost anything to defend Israel, even if it's self-destructive. This isn't based off of words or conspiracy, but rather actions. Lots and lots of actions, which cannot be denied.


This comment is being down-voted because this post isn't talking in favor the Iranian regime, it is talking about the atrocities that the people of Iran are having to live through, how their own government is self destructing and willing to take everyone with them, so a post about whom the regime has supported feels like it's missing the mark.

No one in this thread is thinking "This makes me like the Iranian regime" or "this is in favor of the Iranian regime". And so ofcourse your pro-Israel comments are even more besides the point, especially because this article is about the suffering of the Iranian people and you're take is "HN is anti-Israel whilst believing it is pro-Israel". HN isn't a single person, it's a lot of people with differing opinions and sometimes you'll have a pro-X sentiment and another time it might go the other way.

Also labeling 'pedophilia' as a 'conspiratorial trope' kind of defeats your entire comment, but maybe that's just me.


> It's not like relations between China and the West aren't already as hostile as the West can tolerate.

It's just the US that's publicly wary of china, heck, it's just Trump


Fela bled for Nigeria—literally.

He carried scars on his back from police and soldier beatings meant to silence him for speaking against the government. His houses and estate were set ablaze. His land was seized by the government and never returned.

His mother was thrown off a building by soldiers.

Yet, the very people he fought for chose to focus on his vices and mocked him for them.

I’m glad he finally got this award.


And listen to the recent podcast that speaks of all of this, it's fascinating. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMar0AT704Q6HKa1ACNXD...


>It's unfortunate but at the same time if enough people switch to Linux then they'll be forced to change their ways.

Nope. Not Nadella. He'll kill windows in a heartbeat.


Really? In my country, CNN is Coca cola and Fox is Dr. Pepper


I do not understand this analogy!

For me, Coke tastes like acid, and Dr. Pepper is sweet and spicy.

But... uh... that doesn't translate well when applied to sources for "news".


Like the sibling comment, I don't understand the analogy.

Also, I'd like to emphasize what someone said elsewhere in this comments section: the rest of the world doesn't see the US through the "CNN vs Fox" lens, that's almost exclusively an American phenomenon.


> Like the sibling comment, I don't understand the analogy.

Ubiquitous (distribution) versus relatively limited (distribution).


If this is target at developing nations, theft of the solar panels will be a major hindrance.
