Overclocking LLM Reasoning: Monitoring and Controlling LLM Thinking Path Lengths

news.ycombinator.com Roy Eisenstadt 2026-02-08 12:53:13

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. Monitoring the Thinking Phase We hypothesize that hidden states encode a token's relative position within the thinking phase. To test this, we collect hi

The War on the Walkman

🗓️ On this day in 1979 the Sony Walkman was first released, marking its 46th anniversary The Sony Walkman is now an icon of the 1980s, eliciting nostalgia for the ‘good old days’ of owning music, rather than renting it. Affection for the device is now universal, but that wasn’t always the case… The sudden rise of headphone wearing pedestrians - spurred by Sony’s lightweight headsets (17% the weight of others) - caused unease about an unfamiliar new world quickly coming into view.

Did you know: Your phone supports a 320MP camera, but companies choose to skip them

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-08 14:00:04

Ryan Haines / Android Authority The smartphone industry has been through a brutal megapixel war over the last few years, jumping to 48MP, 50MP, 64MP, and 108MP cameras. Companies then upped the ante in 2022 and 2023 by offering 200MP camera phones, and we’ve stayed at this resolution since then. Did you know that recent flagship Android phones actually support more than 200MP sensors, though? In fact, they support 320MP cameras. However, companies haven’t adopted 320MP cameras just yet.

Adobe might not like it, but the usage shows how dominant its flagship product has become. On mobile though, Photoshop hasn't achieved the same kind of ubiquity or brand recognition.

Samsung is about to find out if Ultra is enough

I don’t often get asked about the phones I’m testing when I’m out and about, unless it’s a folding phone. Then I usually hear some version of the same thing: “Oh, I thought about getting one of those! But then I just got a [insert slab-style phone name here].” My anecdotal data matches the actual sales figures; there are many more people curious about folding phones than there are buyers of folding phones.

Sony’s got an Xperia 1 VII problem so bad, it had to temporarily halt sales

TL;DR Sony has halted sales and shipments of the Xperia 1 VII in its native Japan. Affected phones spontaneously reset, and may refuse to turn back on. Right now we have no confirmation that there’s any problem with the Xperia 1 VII outside of Japan. For a major electronics company, there’s probably no brand whose smartphones are more of niche product than Sony’s. While we’ve had Xperia phones going back to the early days of Android, Xperia handsets have never really taken off in the US. But

It’s a funny thing, this idea of calling something the best.

Fairphone 6 gets a 10/10 on repairability

The new Fairphone 6 is smaller and more modular than older models in the series, but it’s just as repairable. The phone picked up a perfect score in iFixit’s teardown test, despite no longer offering tool-free battery replacements. It helps that the only tool you do need — throughout the phone — is a T5 Torx screwdriver, and only seven screws sit between you and a battery swap. Fairphone itself has shown you can get from shutdown to reboot with a new cell in just two minutes, so it’s still a si
