Retrieval models are trained on query/document pairs. At inference you tell it which side the text is on via a prefix it learned during training. Which accomplishes the same thing as HyDE, but in the model instead of in text space. If

New embedding models support queries, so you don’t need to hallucinate a document before finding the nearest neighbor. Curious how it compares to this approach since you’d get to skip the LLM altogether.

It's OpenClaw(-ish), but runs on an ESP32 instead of needing a traditional OS. Lots of folks went out and bought dedicated computers for OpenClaw, this runs on a $5 device that basically takes no power. Pretty neat!

This is a longstanding UX issue with unlisted URL’s. I’ve encountered this in my own products. Folks don’t know that sharing a link means it definitely will get indexed by Google. Unfortunately this can’t be fixed via robots.txt — Google wo

This makes sense given Anthropic’s recent downtime and resource constraints. Opus 4.7 consumes tokens at a faster rate and folks were complaining that the Pro plan included too few credits for real work. And Anthropic now allows `claude -p`

1. I would expect mental illness to be over-represented among the UFO cohort 2. At least 2 of the deaths in this list aren’t mysteries. Nuno Loureiro and Carl Grillmair’s killers have been identified, and mental illness is likely behind Lou

This paper argues that if superintelligence can give everyone the health of a 20 year-old, we should accept a 97% percent chance of superintelligence killing everyone in exchange for the 3% chance the average human lifespan rises to 1400 ye

I moved off Heroku to Neon + Hetzner today. I asked Claude to build /provision-server and /deploy skills. It was way easier than it should’ve been. My infra costs on this one project have gone from $1200 to <$200/mo. Neon

It's totally possible Peter was the right person to build this project – he's certainly connected enough. My best guess is that it feels more like a Companion than a personal agent. This seems supported by the fact I've seen

A bit OT but why is moltbot so much more popular than the many personal agents that have been around for a while?

Doing this within one organization, with modern technology, is clearly possible. Attempting this across an economy, in the 70's, where a key premise is "assume you have clean realtime data across all industries," is a fool&#x

I stumbled on Brain of the Firm by Stafford Beer as a freshman in college, and loved the idea of an auto-optimizing business. Back then I had questions about exactly how such a system could be implemented, the algorithm was very hand wavey,

this wasn't a study of absolute growth (sure - newbie gains), but rather the difference between high and low load programming within individuals.

that's fair but the post was on page 3 for a while. glad to see it restored to the front page. (the charitable explanation is that non-moderators can flag stories, as opposed to an official policy to protect YC companies)

To dissipate the energy of a M9 (which happens about once per decade) you'd need about 32,000 quakes of M6 (still big enough to collapse buildings). Energy scales as 10^(1.5 × ΔM) ΔM = 9.0 − 6.0 = 3.0 10^(1.5 × 3) = 10^4.5 ≈ 31,600

We don’t really know whether that’s true, since it’s hard to prove a negative (i.e., suppliers aren’t colluding). But given their history of price fixing it may be worth looking into.
