1. Claude Design
得分: 791 | 评论数: 528
💬 重要评论
ljm: I reckon something like this has only been possible to develop because of how homogenous the internet has become in terms of design ever since the glass effect and drop-shadows took over in Web 2.0 an…
mjr00: There’s no shame in being homogenous and obvious, though.If I’m building out an internal tool for, say, a hospital lawyer to search through malpractice lawsuits, I want my tool to be the most familiar…
jjk166: > You’ll get a competent UI with little effort but nothing truly unique or mind-blowing.90+% of attempts at making a truly unique or mind-blowing UI produce a mind-blowingly bad UI. For 0.5 seconds of…
2. Isaac Asimov: The Last Question (1956)
得分: 602 | 评论数: 240
💬 重要评论
CGMthrowaway: >INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR MEANINGFUL ANSWERBoy, it sure would be nice if real LLMs were capable of giving an answer like that.
temp0826: Living in South America a bit really showed me this. I think it’s a cultural thing here but someone will always give you an answer, even if it’s wrong, confidently. It was hard for me at first- I am u…
amdivia: Exactly!!I’ve been trying to work on a new LLM code editor that does just that. When you instruct it to do something, it will evaluate your request, try to analyze the action part of it, the object, s…
3. Ban the sale of precise geolocation
得分: 563 | 评论数: 156
💬 重要评论
Johnbot: A lot of geolocation data on the market is anonymized, following medium-lived unique IDs that aren’t able to be mapped to other identifiers. The problem with that is that if you have precise locations…
rockskon: There is no such thing as anonymized location data when you have the location of something where and when they sleep and work.It’s a rhetorical fiction the ad industry tells itself.
teraflop: We should have learned this lesson 20 years ago when researchers were able to deanonymize a lot of the Netflix Prize dataset, which contained nothing except movie ratings and their associated dates.ht…
4. Measuring Claude 4.7’s tokenizer costs
得分: 518 | 评论数: 353
💬 重要评论
louiereederson: LLMs exist on a logaritmhic performance/cost frontier. It’s not really clear whether Opus 4.5+ represent a level shift on this frontier or just inhabits place on that curve which delivers higher perfo…
louiereederson: I meant reference Toby Ord’s work here. I think his framing of the performance/cost frontier hasn’t gotten enough attention https://www.tobyord.com/writing/hourly-costs-for-ai-agents
Aurornis: > It’s not really clear whether Opus 4.5+ represent a level shift on this frontier or just inhabits place on that curve which delivers higher performance, but at rapidly diminishing returns to inferen…
5. Ada, its design, and the language that built the languages
得分: 246 | 评论数: 170
💬 重要评论
YesThatTom2: Ada was also ignored because the typical compiler cost tens of thousands of dollars. No open source or free compiler existed during the decades where popular languages could be had for free.I think th…
twoodfin: Ada’s failure to escape its niche is overdetermined.Given the sophistication of the language and the compiler technology of the day, there was no way Ada was going to run well on 1980’s microcomputer…
acomjean: A huge factor. I used ada for years and the fact everyone I worked with did hobby projects in other languages didn’t help it. And most of us liked Ada.It had other warts the string handling wasn’t gr…
6. NASA Force
得分: 207 | 评论数: 224
💬 重要评论
scrumper: Two things:- I like the rolling Moon animation very much.- This seems like a clever way of getting talent involved during a budget squeeze, presumably with the hope that some of those they attract wil…
sailfast: They had these kinds of programs for a long time, but many of the engineers were vilified and the programs disbanded as soon as this administration took office. I’m not sure why someone would sign up …
thegrim33: >> budget squeeze>> will still be around after this congress and the agency can stabilize once again2026 budget - 24.4 billion2025 budget - 24.8 billion2024 budget - 25.3 billion2023 budget - 25.3 bil…

dhruv3006: > Open source creates a useful urgency: when your code is public, you assume it will be examined closely, so you invest earlier and more aggressively in finding and fixing issues before attackers do….
necovek: This should be a mentality of every company building products :)
Serhii-Set: [dead]

得分: 203 | 评论数: 110
💬 重要评论
corysama: I recall an article from a long time ago that basically said “astronauts report” the moon smells like spent gunpowder and outer space smell like… I think it was ozone.What they were actually reporting…
jordanb: There was some concern when Apollo 11 landed that when they repressurized the LEM with moon dust samples inside it would start a fire. I think they had a small test article that they blew a small stre…
helterskelter: At least some ISS astronauts describe smelling burnt metal after returning from EVA, if memory serves. (Others may smell ozone, I’ve just always remembered hearing burnt metal).

topspin: What is the status of supporting live migration?That’s the one feature of similar systems that always gets left out. I understand why: it’s not a priority for “cloud native” workloads. The world, ho…

SoftTalker: When I was a teenager I was working at McDonalds and someone came in and paid for a meal using old US Silver Certificate bills. Some people just are careless and don’t notice old or unusual things.
jethkl: > if you tell me someone just stumbles onto and old coin…I found a bill from the Weimar hyperinflation era. Its face value was several billion (Milliarden). Its only value was as a curiosity.
