Defeating Nondeterminism in LLM Inference

news.ycombinator.com Horace He In Collaboration With Others At Thinking Machines 2025-10-06 03:26:08

Reproducibility is a bedrock of scientific progress. However, it’s remarkably difficult to get reproducible results out of large language models. For example, you might observe that asking ChatGPT the same question multiple times provides different results. This by itself is not surprising, since getting a result from a language model involves “sampling”, a process that converts the language model’s output into a probability distribution and probabilistically selects a token.

NASA's Perseverance rover finds potential signs of ancient life on Mars

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-06 08:34:57

NASA just announced that its Perseverance rover recently found some promising signs of ancient life on Mars. The rover obtained a sample of rock formed billions of years ago from sediment and there are biomarkers indicating the potential presence of microbes once upon a time. Basically, the rocks contain minerals that typically form as a result of a chemical reaction between mud and organic matter. That doesn't necessarily mean that Mars once had life, as the minerals can form due to nonbiologi

Here are the details. Sleep Score is not necessarily tied to the Apple Watch sleep tracking feature As noted by Rudrank Riyam on X, you don’t even need to own an Apple Watch to see your sleep score in the Health app on iOS 26: Sleep score is independent of the apple watch.

Has Perseverance found a biosignature on Mars?

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-06 16:00:44

Last year, we reported on the discovery of an intriguing arrow-shaped rock on Mars by NASA's Perseverance rover. The rock contained chemical signatures and structures that could have been formed by ancient microbial life. Granted, this was not slam-dunk evidence of past life on Mars, and the results were preliminary, awaiting peer review. But it was an intriguing possibility nonetheless. Now further analysis and peer review are complete, and there is a new paper, published in the journal Nature

Apple failed to solve my biggest fear about the iPhone Air

Joe Maring / Android Authority The rumors about the iPhone Air were true. Just a few months after Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 Edge, Apple has thrown its hat in the ring with its own ultra-thin iPhone. At first glance, the iPhone Air does look impressive. The 5.6mm body is shockingly thin, the display looks great, and having the latest A19 Pro chip is quite the achievement.

How eSIMs Work, and How to Switch to One From a Standard SIM

wired.com David Nield 2025-10-07 13:00:00

The physical SIM cards we've used for decades are slowly being phased out. With the Pixel 10 series, Google's phones have gone eSIM-only for the first time—at least if you buy them in the US. Apple made the same move with the iPhone 14 in 2022, and now its new iPhone 17 models will operate with eSIMs in a dozen countries, with the slim iPhone Air going eSIM-only everywhere in the world.
