The Telefon Hírmondó (also Telefonhírmondó, generally translated as "Telephone Herald")[1][2] was a "telephone newspaper" located in Budapest, Hungary, which, beginning in 1893, provided news and entertainment to subscribers over telephone lines. It was both the first and the longest surviving telephone newspaper system,[3] although from 1 December 1925 until its termination in 1944 it was primarily used to retransmit programmes broadcast by Magyar Rádió.[4] Three decades before the development

A new case study offers a tantalizing glimpse into the potential future of transplantation medicine. A man with type 1 diabetes is now able to make his own insulin thanks to a transplant of gene-edited pancreatic cells—a transplant that hasn’t required the typical drugs used to avoid rejection. Scientists in Sweden and the U.S. conducted the research, published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Microsoft may be ready to announce an official release date for its long-awaited Xbox handheld (or at least, the one that’s not actually being made by Xbox).

Honda Is Giving Up on the All-Electric Dream

Honda just dealt a huge blow to the all-electric dream. In a stunning reversal, the Japanese auto giant has announced it is rethinking its electrification strategy, signaling that battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) are no longer the holy grail of its future. The move is a major setback for the EV industry, which is already reeling from the September 30 expiration of federal tax credits that made electric cars competitive with their gas-powered counterparts.

AI-generated images have a general look to them. Shiny, bright, waxy-skin, and over-use of bokeh. From Midjourney to Gemini to OpenAI, the AI Look is consistent. Enthusiasts and professionals wrestle with prompts and even fine-tune these models to tamp down the AI smell, with varying degrees of success. Examples of the "AI Look", provided by Krea in their technical paper. Last week, Krea launched an open model, FLUX.1-Krea, that’s built to avoid the “AI Look”. Their writeup is tremendous: it d

How Attention Sinks Keep Language Models Stable

news.ycombinator.com Guangxuan Xiao 2025-12-11 16:53:10

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

OnePlus Buds 4 vs. Nothing Ear: Which Pair of Wireless Earbuds Wins?

That’s fine if you’re easy and just want a pair of AirPods, but for anyone who wants to dig deeper into what’s out there—whether for design or compatibility reasons—a crowded field makes research a nightmare.
