This work investigates how large reasoning models internally track their thinking progress and how such processes can be monitored and controlled. We focus on reasoning models that explicitly segment their computations using <think> and </think> tokens (e.g., DeepSeek-R1), allowing us to study the internal dynamics of the "thinking phase." 1.

A troubling new trend is crystallizing in the tech industry. A company at the forefront of AI development lays off thousands of its human employees, then encourages them to seek comfort from the very technology supplanting them. It’s the automation of suffering, and it’s happening now. This week, Matt Turnbull, an Executive Producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing, became a case study.

The Hoyle State (2021)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-18 02:07:09

Nuclear physics is complicated compared to atomic physics, because the strong force is complicated compared to the electromagnetic force, and nucleons—protons and neutrons—are bag-like groupings of quarks and gluons held together by the strong force. They resemble elastic bags that attract each other. They jostle each other in the nucleus… governed by the rules of quantum mechanics. To begin to understand such a complex thing as a nucleus, people started with approximate models. In 1930 George
