We love microlending, don't we, folks? Unlike old-school credit cards, with their days-long approval processes and prior credit minimums, buy-now, pay-later (BNPL) apps — companies like Klarna and Afterpay — offer hard-up customers instant financing options to buy the junk they crave the instant they see it. In the United States, purchases made with these apps currently don't even affect your FICO credit score — or at least, they never used to. That's all about to change this fall, when Fair I

Tesla shows off its first fully autonomous delivery to convince us its self-driving cars work well

Evaluating Long-Context Question and Answer Systems

news.ycombinator.com Eugene Yan 2026-03-10 22:47:27

While evaluating Q&A systems is straightforward with short paragraphs, complexity increases as documents grow larger. For example, technical documentation, novels and movies, as well as multi-document scenarios. Although some of these evaluation challenges also appear in shorter contexts, long-context evaluation amplifies issues such as: Information overload: Irrelevant details in large documents obscure relevant facts, making it harder for retrievers and models to locate the right evidence for

The Book Cover Trend of Text on Old Paintings

Like fashion trends, fads in book covers come and go. One year, the backs of women’s heads might be all the rage; the next, soft focus photography. And who can forget the exploding flower craze? Or the proliferation of flames on jackets, from thrillers to science fiction to self-help? But the look that’s commanding today’s runways — a.k.a. bookshelves — is not so incendiary.

On June 18, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) dismissed our fraud claim against Oracle. We disagree with this decision. That claim alleged Oracle knowingly misled the USPTO in its 2019 renewal by submitting a screenshot of the Node.js website to show use of the “JavaScript” trademark. As the creator of Node.js, I find that especially offensive. Node.js was never an Oracle product or brand.
