It's basically a cinnamon flavoring added to regular oreos. They were aiming for the taste of horchata.

I 100% agree with you. It looks like multiple people (including me) were typing comments about how good the Selena Gomez Oreos were at the same time as you. The post seems to have found a strange niche of HN, or maybe the Selena Gomez Oreos

I really liked Selena Gomez's Oreos, but I would prefer that Oreo brought them back as "horchata flavored" or "cinnamon cream flavored" so I didn't have awkward conversations every time I accidentally said, &qu

Honest question/suggestion for the HN audience- Since Qwen released the weights for Qwen3.8 2.4T-A95B and we already have the staring point of Qwen3.6 35B-A3B, couldn't someone distill the bigger model and make a "pseudo&quot

Actually, yes. I just didn't know about Grok's release because they aren't on the front page of HN.

It still matters as a point of comparison until other providers come online. If the consensus price from other providers is much different that can be compared then. But for now we have $0.435 / $0.87 for v4 Pro 0813 (with increase ann

The timing looks like they are trying to take the wind out of Qwen's sails by releasing this on the same day that Qwen released the weights of Qwen3.8-max. Or maybe it's coincidence... For comparison I looked at Qwen's claime

This is basically my thought- my school is considering all sorts of things to combat AI cheating, and most of them scale poorly. You can implement them and increase your reputation, but your tuition will have to increase to pay for a lower

This has been obvious to everyone who knows that the key feature to the devs of these browsers is “-based.” None of the chromium-based browsers are anything other than UI tweaks and certain extensions being included by default. None of th

Out of all the companies that signed the open letter that Dario references, Google and OpenAI feel like they did it to poke at their competitor. I probably should have taken shots at Microsoft and Meta as well for not really supporting open

Such a cop-out. Dario, you got in the news because you were trying to say that Moonshot did something wrong by distilling Claude. You got in the news because you were trying to effectively make a "rules for thee but not for me" wh

Tl;dr: think hard about what you’d use this much RAM for in a desktop setting and do some research about how people like the 395 for your use case. Not all use cases work well. Anyone who thinks they are going to serve some 100+ GB LLM loca

Feels like they released this to ride the wave of press of GPT-5.6, Kimi K3, and Qwen 3.8. Doesn't feel like Google has much substance with this post except a bump in version and tweaked their pricing.

They aren’t training at all. They are quantizing existing models, it’s just that the process is different. The 27B uses Qwen3.6 27B as the base model.

I have a few thoughts related to this, and maybe I can get them out and ties them back together at the end. 1a. Yes, college isn’t right for everyone, and testing the traditional way with paper and pencil certainly disadvantages some studen

Additionally, I thought the threat being modeled for “biology” was stuff like bioterroism- how to make anthrax, how to distribute a toxin, etc. I don’t feel like calculating results for a trial is really in the threat model unless we think

OCR means optical character recognition. The terms do not require a direct transcription, but that is mostly what OCR meant in the past. If you’re using an LLM’s vision capability to pass in text and the LLM actually understands it, then I

I feel like CRAN should be used for packages that are expressly made for others to use, and with effort put in to the documentation and vignettes. If you’re making a package for a small team or aren’t pushing it to a large audience then jus

This is a great example of why prompt engineering is still relevant. Without providing definitions and examples and a well defined rubric, you’re going to see different models disagree by a level in either direction. When you get more presc

I looked at it and am unimpressed. I’ll take any Pininfarina designed Ferrari over this plain looking thing. Jony Ive did an okay job on the interior but the outside is just plain. The outside looks closer to an Amazon delivery van than a s

I did read the article and I’m not arguing against a straw man. If you’re going to let an AI agent do everything for you then go ahead and use Rust (or any language with a strong type system that benefits agents). But if I’m participating t

It’s funny that in your reply “this article is almost certainly intended to be read by humans” you made what is the best case to keep writing code in Python even with AI. Sure, if you are going to have an AI do all your coding and maintenan

Comparing water usage of AI to agriculture and cities is a little misleading. The cities' water usage is to keep people alive with basically mandatory things, like hygiene, and drinking. Agricultural water usage is required because we

If Mistral Medium 3.5 supports it, that might get it to 10 t/s. It will still be fairly slow.

For a while it was all about getting the lightest shoes, because picking up heavy shoes slowed you down. Then the energy return (pebax foam, carbon plates/rods) became the main focus because the weight didn't matter as much when t

While that seems like a bummer, as long as he doesn't quit he'll have many more chances to set the record himself.
