AI's $344B 'Language Model' Bet Looks Fragile

news.ycombinator.com Parmy Olson 2025-10-14 04:49:24

Every investor knows not to put all your eggs in one basket. So why is Silicon Valley betting on just one way to build artificial intelligence? This year the world’s four largest tech firms will spend $344 billion on AI, mostly on data centers used to train and run so-called large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT that can process text, audio and visual content. The technology is largely underpinned by the same technique of predicting tokens that appear next in a sequence.

Behind the Scenes of Bun Install

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-14 05:39:29

Running bun install is fast, very fast. On average, it runs ~7× faster than npm, ~4× faster than pnpm, and ~17× faster than yarn. The difference is especially noticeable in large codebases. What used to take minutes now takes (milli)seconds. These aren't just cherry-picked benchmarks. Bun is fast because it treats package installation as a systems programming problem, not a JavaScript problem. In this post we’ll explore what that means: from minimizing syscalls and caching manifests as binary,

GrapheneOS is an Android-based, open source, privacy and security-focused mobile operating system for mobile phones.

The New York Times Mini Crossword Is Now Paywalled: Here's One Way to Play

The New York Times Mini Crossword is a fun and simple younger sibling to the newspaper's legendary regular daily crossword.

DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress Review: Support and Value

wired.com Julia Forbes 2025-10-14 05:01:00

I’ve written numerous reviews of the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid mattress over the past six years of my mattress testing career. It was on my short list of favorites then, and its newest iteration, released in May, still is. This is no small feat, especially given the current supply-chain issues, tariffs, and price increases, all of which can affect the materials (and thus, the performance) of a mattress. Plus, I’m like the Simon Cowell of mattress world—a bed has to work really hard to impress me

Apple’s new live translation feature for AirPods won’t be available in the EU at launch

In Brief One of the headlining features of Apple’s new AirPods Pro 3 was the ability to translate incoming audio in real time, but it seems the feature won’t work in the European Union at launch. On its official page detailing the features available on iOS 26, the company said EU residents or those with EU Apple IDs won’t be able to use live translation, which is powered by Apple Intelligence and will also be coming to AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 2.

Texas banned lab-grown meat. What’s next for the industry?

Texas joins six other US states and the country of Italy in banning these products. These legal challenges are adding barriers to an industry that’s still in its infancy and already faces plenty of challenges before it can reach consumers in a meaningful way. The agriculture sector makes up a hefty chunk of global greenhouse-gas emissions, with livestock alone accounting for somewhere between 10% and 20% of climate pollution.

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority AT&T takes a different approach than Verizon and T-Mobile when it comes to promotions, upgrades, and special deals. While its rivals often advertise free phones with no trade-in required, AT&T rarely offers devices entirely free up front. That can make it less appealing to switchers, but the trade-off is that existing customers typically get the same deals as new ones. The main caveat is that upgrade offers usually require a higher-end plan, whereas new cust
