news.ycombinator.com Juli Clover 2025-12-03 10:43:32

Apple does not plan to refresh any Macs with updated M5 chips in 2025, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Updated MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models are now planned for the first half of 2026. Gurman previously said that Apple would debut the M5 ‌MacBook Pro‌ models in late 2025, but his newest report suggests that Apple is "considering" pushing them back to 2026. Apple is now said to be "internally targeting" a launch early next year. The current M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max ‌MacBook Pro‌ mode

How attention sinks keep language models stable

news.ycombinator.com Guangxuan Xiao 2025-12-02 22:53:10

We discovered why language models catastrophically fail on long conversations: when old tokens are removed to save memory, models produce complete gibberish. We found models dump massive attention onto the first few tokens as "attention sinks"—places to park unused attention since softmax requires weights to sum to 1. Our solution, StreamingLLM, simply keeps these first 4 tokens permanently while sliding the window for everything else, enabling stable processing of 4 million+ tokens instead of j

New Gel Could Heal Stubborn Diabetic Wounds in Under 2 Weeks

gizmodo.com Natalia Mesa 2025-12-03 11:55:22

For people with diabetes, high blood sugar can damage blood vessels and nerves, leading to chronic wounds that stay open for months. But a new gel-based treatment could massively speed up the healing process for people with diabetes, allowing wounds to close in just days, according to a new study. The new treatment targets thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), a protein that inhibits the growth of new blood vessels, a crucial step in the healing process. Targeting this protein increased new blood vessel fo

Apple's history is hiding in a Mac font

Rome wasn't built in a day, and the same is true of desktop operating systems. The modern versions of Windows, macOS, and Linux we know and (sometimes) love today represent decades of iteration and overhauls, but much of that legacy is invisible. New design languages and interfaces show up every few years, and in the process, old applications and designs are covered up or replaced. It doesn't take long to find legacy holdovers in today's Windows 11—for example, that Windows 3.1-era file picker

A new case study offers a tantalizing glimpse into the potential future of transplantation medicine.

Solar-Powered Device Turns Moon Dirt Into Bricks, a Potential Breakthrough in Lunar Construction

Both the U.S. and China have set their sights on the Moon, aiming to break ground on permanent lunar bases within the next decade. Though there’s no legal basis for claiming territory in space, whichever country gets there first will gain a coveted first-mover advantage, allowing it to set certain ground rules about who can do what, where. But getting there first is only half the battle. Actually establishing a sustained lunar presence presents significant logistical and engineering challenges.

Whereas o1 was a major technological advancement, GPT-5 is, above all else, a refined product.
