Attention Is the New Big-O: A Systems Design Approach to Prompt Engineering

1. Understanding Attention: Your First Step to Better Prompts If you’re human, you’re probably reading this from left to right. You might not have stopped for a moment to consider the fact that your LLM doesn’t read in the same order as you or I. Instead, it weights relationships between all tokens at once, with position and clustering dramatically changing what gets noticed. In working with an LLM the structure you choose can have a greater impact on your results than the precise words you ch

Launch HN: Parachute (YC S25) – Guardrails for Clinical AI

Hi HN, Aria and Tony here, co-founders of Parachute ( https://www.parachute-ai.com/ ). We’re building governance infrastructure that lets hospitals safely evaluate and monitor clinical AI at scale. Hospitals are racing to adopt AI. More than 2,000 clinical AI tools hit the U.S. market last year - from ambient scribes to imaging models.

California’s Next ‘Big One’ Might Not Follow the Script

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-11-15 04:20:46

On March 28, a devastating magnitude 7.7 earthquake rocked Myanmar, splitting the Sagaing Fault at speeds of over 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) per second. You know which other fault resembles the Sagaing one? The San Andreas Fault in California, where seismologists have been expecting “the big one” for years. In a study published on August 11 in the journal PNAS, a team of researchers used satellite images of the Sagaing Fault’s movement to enhance computer models that predict how similar faults mi

Nissan announces 2026 Leaf pricing, starting at $29,990

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-15 04:29:03

There's a new Nissan Leaf coming later this year. The third of its kind to bear the name, it sounds like an appealing upgrade. Smaller than the current model on the outside but with more room inside, it's also more efficient and finally uses a liquid-cooled battery. But we knew all that back at the start of summer. What we didn't know then was how much the Leaf will cost. As we noted back in June, pricing is most likely to determine the Leaf's success or failure. None of the improvements to thi

Dell 14 Premium Review: Hello Old Friend

wired.com Luke Larsen 2025-11-15 04:00:00

Dell is facing an uphill battle. It’s relaunching an already divisive laptop design with no significant changes. The new Dell 14 Premium retains the limited ports, touch-button function keys, and the invisible trackpad of its predecessor, none of which were particularly popular. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have the XPS pedigree to lean on. The axing of the XPS name was one of the many casualties in the company’s new, “simplified” brand.

Tesla offers a $350 retrofit turn signal stalk after removing it from the Model 3

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-15 14:30:34

Leave it to Tesla to charge its customers for a feature it purposely left out. The company is now selling an almost $350 retrofit turn signal stalk for its Model 3 cars after removing from the initial model. Instead, it used buttons to activate the turn signal. As of now, the add-on is only available in the Chinese market. But, Model 3 drivers will need to shell out another 2,499 yuan ($348) to get a normal part of almost every car.

How to Build a Medieval Castle

news.ycombinator.com Ben O'Donnell 2025-11-15 22:49:35

Sometimes it takes a village to raise a window. Between 2015 and 2017, skilled masons meticulously carved and beveled arches and four-lobed flourishes for a Gothic-style stone window frame in Guédelon Castle’s ornate Chapel Tower. All that remained was to install some glass. But there was a problem, and the carpenters, painters, blacksmiths, basket weavers, historians, and archaeologists who work on-site were all enlisted to figure it out. Eight years later, the matter of what to put in the wind
