As it usually does, Apple discontinued a few products to make room for everything it announced during Tuesday’s event. Here’s the full list of products that Apple dropped, following the ‘Awe Dropping’ presentation. The vintage clock is now ticking for these products Every time Apple announces new products, it immediately stops selling some of its previous versions, although they remain available from third-party retailers, usually at pretty attractive discounts.

Scientists Stunned as Tiny Algae Keep Moving Inside Arctic Ice

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-06 06:05:30

Scientists know that microbial life can survive under some extreme conditions—including, hopefully, harsh Martian weather. But new research suggests that one particular microbe, an algal species found in Arctic ice, isn’t as immobile as it was previously believed. They’re surprisingly active, gliding across—and even within—their frigid stomping grounds. In a Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences paper published September 9, researchers explained that ice diatoms—single-celled algae wi

Mysterious Object Headed Into Our Star System Is Now Changing Color

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-06 13:14:35

As interstellar object 3I/ATLAS approaches its closest point to the Sun next month, the mysterious visitor continues to fascinate astronomers. The object, which is broadly believed to be a comet that came to us from outside the solar system, has already been observed changing shape. Its tail has grown longer, and its coma — a large atmosphere of gas and dust that surrounds its nucleus — has become more pronounced. Those are expected characteristics from a comet ripping by the Sun at ludicrous s

Defeating Nondeterminism in LLM Inference

news.ycombinator.com Horace He In Collaboration With Others At Thinking Machines 2025-10-06 13:26:08

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.

Ever since a mysterious interstellar object, since dubbed 3I/ATLAS, was first spotted screaming into our solar system this year, famed Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb has been raising the possibility that the interstellar interloper is an "extraterrestrial artifact" that was sent to us by an intelligent alien race. Researchers have broadly come to the consensus that 3I/ATLAS is a comet. Most recently, observations by the Gemini South telescope in Chile confirmed that its tail is growing longer,

California’s High-Speed Rail Fiasco Keeps Getting Worse

Seventeen years ago, Californians bet on a grand vision of the future. They narrowly approved a $10 billion bond issue to build a high-speed rail line that would zip between San Francisco and Los Angeles in under three hours. This technological marvel would slash emissions, revitalize the state’s Central Valley, and, with some financial help from the feds and private sector, provide the fast, efficient, and convenient travel Asia and Europe have long enjoyed.
